Choosing not to answer him verbally, Gerald simply mimicked what Yin Yang had done earlier—in order to use the sword tactic—before pointing in a random direction… All of a sudden, the room began trembling wildly, causing the surrounding walls to crack and even begin crumbling! Following that, a massive sword that glowed purple and black began manifesting! The sheer force of the summoning process alone caused strong winds to blow, and the next thing Terrance and Manager Waferer—who had been standing at the side—knew, the corners of their mouths were already bleeding due to how sharp the blades of wind were! However, they were far too preoccupied with staring wide-eyed at the powerful-looking sword of light before them to even notice that they were hurt! It looked so powerful that it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it could easily topple the entire restaurant with a single swing! With a slight gesture, Gerald made the sword momentarily disappear… Once it reappeared, it was tiny
“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…! I beg of you…!” pleaded Yin Yang as he continued begging for mercy. Though Federico continued begging as well, he was simultaneously wondering why someone who was around the same age as him could be so powerful. After becoming Yin Yang’s disciple and entering the realm of training, Federico had naturally grown quite arrogant, and it was no easy task for him to willingly submit to a person from the bottom of his heart. With that in mind, he quickly regained his wits and began thinking that all of this was simply nonsense! There was no way he was going to just bow to the whims of a person his age! ‘I’m unconvinced of all this…! Even if master is willing to kowtow before you, I can’t accept this at all! I’m simply being a real man now by making a strategic submission! Mark my words, I’ll surely get back at you for all this one day…!’ Federico thought to himself. By thinking of it as a strategic retreat, Federico became more willing to cont
Watching as Yin Yang nodded repeatedly, Gerald then said, “Repeat what I asked then before you answer my question!” Gulping, Yin Yang then muttered, “Y-you asked me how I had obtained my title and why I had chosen to stay by Young Master Dun’s side…!” Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Yin Yang then added, “Truth be told, I only managed to figure all this out about half a year after training to attain spiritual enlightenment. Mr. Crawford, did you know that the world is more exciting and amazing than anything you could’ve ever imagined? For starters, there’s a realm- no, an entire world that can be assessed by those training to attain spiritual enlightenment! However, you should also know that many of them later choose to live and work alongside regular people! We refer to this as joining society!” “Speaking of which, while it’s true that those who have attained spiritual enlightenment have great power and influence that could easily be used to take control over planet’s order, i
Master Ghost had always been a calm man who had the remarkable ability to predict the future. With that in mind, it was impossible for him to have simply chosen to dispose of such a valuable magic artifact just like that. But what could his intentions have been…? As Gerald pondered on, Zenny—who had been quiet this entire time—finally decided to say, “Could Master Ghost be trying to tell us something, Gerald? Could this be his way of asking for help?” Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “I assume so. After all, with his near-perfect ability to predict the future, he’s probably already predicted that we’d come looking for him. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he already knows when we’ll be coming to get him! Why else would he have allowed his beloved whisk to end up in that auction in the past few days? Regardless, we should head to Jenna Province University first. Once we find Yul, we’ll ask him about what he knows!” “I used to study at that university too, mas
Seeing that, Gerald instantly grabbed hold of the girl’s waist before helping her up! “My god! What the hell are you doing?! Are you actually taking advantage of Xyrielle right before our very eyes?!” yelled the enraged girls. To think that he was being so daring out in public, and in front of them, no less! “I-it isn’t what you think, Xaverie…!” said Xyrielle, hoping to stop her friends from saying anything unnecessary. “There’s no need to be afraid, Xyrielle! We’re here to defend you! Whatever the case is, I’m making a call now so that this kid pays for what he’s done!” said Xaverie as her angered friends united against their common enemy. “You’ve got it all wrong! He was simply preventing me from falling just now! There’s a pit hole there, see?” explained Xyrielle. “…Huh?” replied her friends, all startled to hear that. After realizing what had truly happened, their glares softened slightly. Xyrielle, on the other hand, found herself blushing slightly as she looked at
“A fortune-teller…? Wait, I think I remember. He was an old man, right? The one we met when we were on an outing?” “That’s the one!” replied Xyrielle with a nod. “Hahaha! That guy was funny… I remember him saying something along the lines of, ‘Your heartbeat will immediately hasten the second you meet the love of your life!’” said Xaverie, recalling that event. It was only a second later when she suddenly froze. Dropping her jaw, she then looked at Xyrielle in disbelief before adding, “You… can’t be serious, right…? That was the guy who ended up touching your heart?” After nodding shyly at her friends—who were all staring at her with questioning looks—Xyrielle paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, “…While it’s true that my heart thumped a little, I don’t think that he’s the one… After all, that fortune-teller had said that my lover would have very unique life experiences. My lover would also be extremely skillful and have near-unparalleled abilities! A true he
As those from within the crowd continued discussing the matter, Xyrielle and the others simply listened in to their conversations while glancing at Stetson. From what they could see, Stetson had a very cold personality. After all, he didn’t even seem to bother about all of the people who were treating him extremely courteously. Instead, he simply walked off with an indifferent expression on his face… Naturally, the discussions soon died out since Stetson was no longer there. As the crowd slowly dispersed, Xyrielle found herself thinking, ‘That couldn’t be the love of my life, right…?’ While it was true that Stetson satisfied all the conditions that the fortune-teller had mentioned, her heart wasn’t throbbing for him at all. Observing Xyrielle’s expression, Xaverie then grinned as she poked her arm while asking, “Well, Miss Xyrielle Waddys? What are you thinking about?” “I’m not thinking about anything!” “I can already guess what’s on your mind, so you don’t have to say a
“I appreciate that!” replied Yul as he sipped on the juice before starting to eat. It was evident that he was still being extremely wary with his actions and words… Noticing that, Gerald simply smiled before saying, “Still, didn’t you just receive three hundred thousand dollars…? Why are you still being so hard on yourself? By that, I’m referring to the fact that you were only eating steamed buns with pickles when Perla and I found you!” “I… don’t dare to use the money… Though, I don’t mind handing the money over to you, if that’s what you want!” replied Yul. Shaking his head with a smile, Gerald simply said, “We’re not here for your money, Yul. We’re here to ask you how you got your hands on the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like you were the one who had made the plan to auction it off in the first place!” Pondering for a moment, Yul eventually raised his head before saying, “…I… I’m really sorry, but I can’t tell you that… Look, if it’s money
