That was why there was that scene just now.Even if he did not have an admission ticket, Gerald believed that he would be able to break in easily based on his strength and power. However, there was truly no need for that.Moreover, Gerald already understood the importance of hiding his true identity based on many of his previous experiences.He would not be acting so recklessly.“Mr. Crawford, I am so sorry that I could not even complete such a simple thing that you have entrusted to me!”Terrance was filled with self-blame.“Uncle Sherwin, you don’t need to apologize to me. In truth, based on the current situation, it would indeed be a little difficult for us to be able to get into the underground festival using the Sherwin family’s name. Why don’t I take Julian with me to another prestigious and influential family so that it would be easier for us to act with discretion?” Gerald said.“Sir, do you mean to say that you want us to enter the Waddys family? Since you have alread
Gerald had been thinking about the demonic bull he had seen today.So, he told Julian about everything that had happened at Heartstone Manor today.Gerald had basically never been in contact with certain demon beasts.This was especially so for demonic beasts, who could actually perform demon magic.Gerald’s knowledge in this area was still limited to the understanding of the possession of the beast soul.Since it was going to be evening soon, Gerald also had to rush to attend Xyrielle’s birthday banquet.So, Gerald asked Julian to come along with him so that they could continue chatting on the way there.It turned out that in this world, in addition to a very small number of people who were cultivating to achieve spiritual enlightenment, there was also the existence of some magical demonic beasts.However, they mostly existed underground or in certain caves.It was very difficult for any ordinary person to see them.Even if any ordinary person were to stumble upon one, they
“Then… what about that Gerald? Since you have already chosen Young Master Laidler to be your true love, why did you choose to invite Gerald here today?” Xaverie asked as she smiled.Xyrielle pondered for a moment before she replied, “I don’t know why either, but I just feel very curious about Gerald. It is not only because of what happened in the afternoon. So, I want to see him again, and I want to get in touch with him so that I can find out what kind of person he is. In fact, at the very beginning, I even thought about setting you up with him. Hahaha! But after thinking about it, I felt that he is not from the same world as us anyway. So, I decided to simply invite the both of them here as a way to thank them for what they had done for me today!” Xyrielle said as she took a deep breath and smiled.“You are truly very bad! Hmph! Xyrielle, you are thinking of pushing a guy that you think is not up to your standards over to me like you are throwing garbage away?! I don’t want it! Pff
“Young Master Laidler is way too handsome…! I’d die happy as long as I get to be his girlfriend for a day…!” wailed one of the girls in the crowd. Stetson himself simply casually said, “I believe that there’s been some misunderstandings regarding the incident where I left earlier, Xyrielle… It simply hadn’t occurred to me that you’d bump into such danger. My initial plan had been to lead the demonic bull away from the scene in order to save everyone!” “…I knew that!” replied Xyrielle. ‘Yeah… Why did I ever perceive him that way? I hadn’t even been pushed off that high platform yet at the time Stetson left… There was no way he could’ve known about the danger I’d soon face…’ Xyrielle thought to herself, feeling much more at ease after hearing Stetson’s explanation. With that, the night birthday party resumed and Gerald—and the others—simply got ignored as usual… It was a little while later when a middle-aged man slowly began walking into the place… Looking at Xyrielle and Young
As Gerald got to his feet to have a look at Yaakov, everyone found themselves looking at Stetson—who had surprisingly stood up as well—as he said, “Ah, Mr. Waddys! I send my father’s regards on his behalf!” Yaakov himself simply walked up to Stetson with a joyous face, not even bothering about the other people as he patted Stetson firmly on the shoulder while saying, “You’ve grown a lot more outstanding over the years, Stetson! I hope you’ll demonstrate your extraordinary talent again during this year’s underground festival!” After exchanging pleasantries with Stetson for a while, the other men in the crowd began introducing themselves as well. However, it was quite obvious that Yaakov wasn’t as enthusiastic toward them since none of them were as important as Stetson in his eyes. As for Xyrielle, after realizing that Gerald wasn’t planning to introduce himself, she found herself feeling pitiful for him. After all, the other men were definitely far more exceptional compared to Ger
Though nobody really knew why Master Waddys wanted to meet up with Gerald alone, it was at least evident that he greatly disliked him. Still, knowing that made several of the people there relieved. After all, things had gone just as they had anticipated. While Yaakov—being a typical family master—was usually solemn and serious whenever he dealt with things, he did have one well-known shortcoming, and it was related to how he treated his children. He would only ever request for marriages—on his children’s behalf—from families of equal social ranks. With that said, to him—at least for the moment—only an outstanding person like Stetson was worthy of his daughter. It was also the reason why he couldn’t help himself from attempting to eliminate any unsuitable suitors who were trying to go after his daughter. Regardless, after being led to a lake—that was located in the backyard—Yaakov instantly said, “So, what are your conditions?” “Conditions?” asked Gerald as he looked at Yaak
Despite things not going as smooth as he had liked, Gerald wasn’t feeling too worried yet. Worst case scenario, Gerald would have to fight his way into the festival. Even with that in mind, however, Gerald still had a little confidence that things would work out in the end. As he thought about his next move, Gerald—who had been sitting at the rear seat with his eyes closed—suddenly opened his eyes before ordering, “…Perla, stop the car!” “…Huh? What’s wrong, master?” asked Perla, stunned. Momentarily paying full attention to his surroundings, Gerald then replied, “…We’re being targeted by someone… And it seems that the person isn’t too far away from us!” “What? Could Yaakov have sent people over to kill us? What a b*stard!” growled Perla. “I doubt that. After all, the one tailing us has an extremely strong aura. I had made sure to observe any exceptional people I came across at the Waddys manor earlier, and as far as I could tell, I’m pretty sure that nobody there was except
“If I may, who exactly are you, sir?” asked Gerald as he looked up and narrowed his eyes at the evilly grinning man. From what he could sense, this person’s training aura was considerably more powerful than Julian’s. With that said, Gerald really couldn’t help but have a higher opinion of the old man. Truth be told, ever since Gerald exited the Waddys family manor, he had felt the presence of a person who had trained to attain spiritual enlightenment. However, since there were too many people there—due to the underground festival—and the person didn’t seem to be interested in revealing themself at the time, Gerald simply ignored them. However, when the old man released his essential qi earlier, it instantly became obvious to Gerald that the old man wanted him to follow him. With that in mind, Gerald—who wanted to see what that person wanted from him—simply followed him here, eventually leading to the current situation. Whatever the case was, the old man simply ignored Gerald’s
