Chapter 1455
Her eyes reddened, several people who were descending the hill found themselves astonished as they watched Perla imitate a dog and bark thrice! Gerald truly hadn’t expected this to happen. After all, he had initially thought that Perla was nothing more than a rich young lady who was both hedonistic and extremely sensitive to how others viewed her. To think that she would actually be willing to humiliate herself just to be able to be his disciple! Quite frankly, he had suggested for her to bark like a dog since Gerald knew that the humiliation from the act was a little too much for even him to handle. With that in mind, he was convinced that Perla wouldn’t be able to carry out the act. Now that she had, however… “…I... I’ve done as you told… Are you willing to take me under your wing now…?” asked Perla as she stood before Gerald. “…That…” replied Gerald rather hesitantly. Upon noticing that Terrance was also staring at him with his breath held, Gerald eventually grew too embar

“I see… Well, let’s not waste any more time and set off to the Jenna Province as soon as possible then!” said Gerald with a nod. Gerald had several things boggling his mind now, one of which was his grandfather’s true identity. Aside from that, his family members and Zyla were still missing. He had to head to Jaellatra to look for Mila too… Thankfully, he now had his uncle to rely on to solve some of those worries of his. With that in mind, Gerald knew that he had to pick up the pace as well and locate Master Ghost as soon as possible so that more of those mysteries could be solved sooner. “Speaking of which… you’ll be coming with me, right?” asked Gerald. “But of course! My mission will only be complete once I find master together with you! Also, there’s a bead within my body that you can retrieve and stuff inside an exquisite rag doll! It’ll be easier for you to carry me around as an ornament!” explained Zenny. “That’s great to know!” replied Gerald. “Are you planning on

“You truly have good judgment, Master Crawford… It was about half a year ago when I bumped into that exceptional person… My family has always revered martial arts skills, you see, and I have a lot of disciples who serve as my subordinates… Regardless, the exceptional person was hired by our family’s enemy to assassinate me in secret. After all, with me gone, my family would certainly fall into ruin! Still, that person was extremely powerful… Despite owning over twenty exceptional subordinates, none of them could even get close to that immensely skillful man!” “Eventually, my son and dozens of bodyguards had to risk their lives to allow me to escape with my life intact. However, even though I managed to run far, I still ended up getting attacked and injured by his essential qi! Even though the essential qi had only brushed against me gently, I still ended up almost dying on the spot!” explained the old man, fear reflected in his eyes. It was evident that the incident had left a psyc

“What is it?” “Grandpa says he’s found an important clue!” “…Oh?” said Gerald as he opened his eyes. Knowing that this had to be something related to Master Ghost, Gerald then walked out. When Terrance saw him walking over, he instantly said, “Please have a look at these photographs that my subordinates were able to capture, Master Crawford!” Taking the photographs from Terrance’s extended hand, Gerald saw that one of them contained an expensive-looking glass cabinet. Squinting his eyes, he was able to discern a rather familiar-looking horsetail whisk lying inside it… There was no doubt about it. That horsetail whisk definitely belonged to Master Ghost! Zenny apparently noticed the glimmer of hope in Gerald’s eyes, prompting her to say, “It’s something that belongs to master!” “After you showed us Master Ghost’s photographs, a few of my subordinates noticed that the horsetail whisk that they found was a mirror image of the one that Master Ghost usually holds onto in most

“…I simply came today to widen my knowledge and meet up with old acquaintances, Young Master Dun. I wouldn’t dream of ruining your fun!” replied Terrance, clearly suffering in silence. “Hahaha! I’m glad to hear that! Still, a little bird told me that after you went bankrupt half a year ago, you’ve been looking far and wide for exceptional masters! I do wonder if you’ve found any… Quite frankly, the Duns have also been helping you locate the true criminal behind the scenes this entire time! Once we find the culprits, we’ll definitely avenge you!” declared Federico coldly. “I appreciate you going through all that trouble!” replied Terrance who was still trying his best to suppress his anger as the corners of his mouth twitched erratically. “There’s no need to thank me! It’s what a junior should do for his senior anyway!” said Federico before roaring out in laughter and walking into the venue. As the black-robed man followed Federico in, he made sure to take a few glances at Geral

From how much they were idolizing Federico, it was clear that those from within that group viewed anyone else as nothing but idiots. Regardless, after hearing them scowl at her master, Perla angrily retorted, “And just who are you to tell others to move aside?” “Who am I? Who are you? Look, just step aside already! We really can’t take photographs of Young Master Dun from here! Can’t you even do that?!” “Yeah! What, do you think you’re rich or something? Go ahead and compete with our Young Master Dun if you dare, then!” retorted the fanatic women contemptuously. “You…!” growled Perla who was now brimming with rage. “Just let them say what they want. Regardless, help me shout out a price, Mr. Sherwin,” said Gerald as he turned to look at Terrance when he saw that nobody else was attempting to raise the bid. “Very well, Master Crawford. How much do you intend to raise the bid by?” asked Terrance. Hearing that, Gerald lifted a single finger. Frowning slightly, Terrance the

Upon hearing that, Federico paused for a moment before sneering, “…I understand, Master! I know what I have to do after this!” He already had a plan in mind. Regardless, since Gerald had placed such a high bid, nobody else was willing to even compete with him. Even Federico’s fans were now staring at Gerald in surprise. After all, none of them had expected that this plain-looking person would actually own this much money! Now that they had witnessed how rich he was, some of them were already winking at him, desperately trying to gain his affection. Of course, when had such tactics ever worked on Gerald? Either way, while money clearly was no issue for him, Gerald wasn’t one to spend on a whim. He was only willing to spend so much on the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk since he wanted to ask the organizer of the auction where and how he had gotten his hands on the whisk. With that, he requested to see the manager once the event was over. Upon hearing that, the service staff immed

After the door to the room was opened, Gerald, Terrance, and the others walked in. The second they entered, they were immediately greeted by the sight of Federico sitting at the main seat. A broad smile on his face as he stood up, Federico then said, “Why hello there, Uncle Sherwin! I hadn’t expected to meet you again so soon!” “So you’re behind all this, Federico!” growled Terrance angrily. “Now, now, there’s no need to get angry, Uncle Sherwin! Aside from wanting to reminisce with you, I also called you over today since I wanted to greet and extend my warmest welcome to Mr. Crawford!” replied Federico. Following that, he clapped his hands before ordering, “Serve the tea to the guests!” Shortly after, a waitress walked over with a teapot in hand. However, as soon as the teapot’s cap was removed, it was revealed there was only tea powder inside! What more, the powder itself smelled extremely unpleasant! From that alone, it was obvious that Federico was saying that they were
