“I see… that explains it!” replied Perla with a nod. “…What? Hanson Luwie? Who the hell is he? Is he powerful? Perla couldn’t be acquainted with anyone powerful, right?” muttered the surprised Jenny who was still standing at the side. “Keep your voice down! That person is Chairman Hanson Luwie, the former driver of Lord Yahto from the Jenna Province’s Yahto family! Not only is he a great man with exceptional abilities, but he’s currently also the general manager of several shopping malls!” whispered Benson who was equally as shocked as Jenny was. Still, that at least explained why Chairman Luwie’s bodyguards were so strong! At that moment, Hanson asked in a serious tone, “Could you detail what happened here earlier, Miss Sherwin?” Anyone who wasn’t living under a rock knew that all the forces in Jenna City were now under the control of the incredible and mysterious Master Crawford. Hanson, for one, knew this, and he also knew that Perla was Master Crawford’s most beloved disc
Naturally, Jenny was swiftly dealt with without much hassle. Moving back to Gerald, there were simply too many people these days who were looking for an opportunity to approach him. While it was honestly getting to a point where he found it troublesome, Gerald was thankful that he was going to be staying in the miracle cave on Tierson Mountain for the next few days. As suggested by its name, the place truly was a miracle, and Gerald found several magic artifacts inside. Even so, it took Gerald three whole days before he was able to find the exact one that Master Ghost had told him to find. It was a blue elite crystal that was about the size of an adult’s nail… While he was pleased to have finally found it, Gerald hadn’t the slightest idea how to even use it. After observing it for a while, however, he realized that it seemed to contain a very strong and special form of energy within it. ‘I wonder why Master Ghost insisted on locating this specific gem…’ Gerald thought to hi
Her understanding of that only served to further increase her embarrassment. Despite that, Xyrielle still valued this predestined marriage too much for her to ignore. Eventually, she gave in and simply told Gerald more about the fortune-teller that had given her, her reading back then. “…Hmm? A fortune-teller? What does he look like?” asked Gerald in a simultaneously excited and serious tone. After all, the description she made… Was the person she had gotten her reading from actually Master Ghost? Could Master Ghost have been hiding on Sacrasolis Mountain this entire time? If that truly was the case, then Gerald didn’t have to waste any more time and effort locating him! After thinking for a short while, Gerald agreed to escort her over to the mountain. This was a chance for him to reunite with Master Ghost, and he wasn’t about to say no to that. Regardless, the second Xyrielle heard that Gerald was willing to go along with her request, she instantly felt both surprised a
Naturally, the first to enter was Xyrielle, and one of the priests promptly began leading her to the back of the mountain. As for Gerald, he was led toward another mountain path by the other priest. Walking slowly with his hands in his pocket, Gerald heard as the priest suddenly laughed before saying, “I have to say, you really are fortunate, brother! Your girl’s a real beauty you know? Probably among the top hundred beauties in the world!” Displaying a smile, Gerald then replied, “Really? I don’t think she’s that beautiful!” “I see… What a pity! Well, since you don’t even realize how lucky you are to have such a beauty by your side, why not give her to us instead?” said the priest with a snicker as he smiled coldly. Was he finally showing his true colors? Whatever the case was, Gerald pretended to be momentarily surprised before angrily retorting, “What? What kind of talk is that? Aren’t you a priest?! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll look for the head priest and complain about y
And just like that, the priest was momentarily sent flying… Before his body exploded into a million pieces! Staring wide-eyed at the bloody mess she had caused, Xyrielle’s first reaction was to scream in horror. After calming down slightly, the dumbfounded Xyrielle found herself staring at her palm. Despite being terrified out of her mind, she was simultaneously curious where all that power had suddenly come from. It was around then when the second priest from earlier arrived and witnessed the aftermath of her unintentional attack. Utterly flabbergasted by the scene before him, the horrified priest instantly yelled, “F-f*cking hell! You were this strong this entire time?!” Realizing that the other priest was now present, the terrified Xyrielle instantly began backing away as she shouted, “Y-you… Don’t come any closer…!” As Xyrielle extended a hand, hoping that it would deter him from coming any closer, the priest—who thought that she was charging up an attack—became so frig
When the priest finally awoke again, was greeted by the sight of a young man’s back. Recalling that he had been yanked by some strong and invisible force earlier—before he blacked out—the shocked priest then muttered, “W-who are you…?” “Who I am doesn’t matter. However, what does matter is who you people are, and what you’re all planning to do here on Sacrasolis Mountain,” replied Gerald as he slowly turned around before staring coldly at the man. The second that man saw Gerald, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably as he stuttered, “Y-young Master?! It’s you?!” Watching as the terrified man knelt right before him, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly as he curiously muttered, “…Young Master?” “Indeed! Still, when exactly did arrive, Young Master?” asked the priest “I can come and go as I please, can’t I?” sneered Gerald in response. While he wasn’t exactly sure why the priest was referring to him as ‘Young Master,’ Gerald still felt that this was the perfect
As the priest attempted to book it, he didn’t make it past the third step before some ungodly force began lifting him off the ground! This time, however, all his internal organs felt like they were simultaneously being torn apart! Trembling violently from the near-unbearable pain, the priest quickly began shouting, “S-spare my life! P-please, spare my life…!” “I’ll consider once you answer my question. If you need a refresher, I asked why you recognized me as your young master,” replied Gerald. “W-well, Young Master’s appearance highly matches yours! It’s almost as though you’re his doppelgänger! With that said, there’s no way I could’ve been able to easily tell you apart! Though, I do wonder if you’re also a member of the Crawford family… After all, there’s no other reason you could look so similar!” explained the man who was still aching terribly. “…Oh? The Crawford family, you say?” replied Gerald as his eyes momentarily lit up. Observing the squirming man, Gerald could se
“…You…! To think you’d still behave so presumptuously even though you’re about to be done for!” growled the priest in anger. Before he could say anything else, however, the priest momentarily froze. Now staring-wide eyed at Gerald, the priest was able to somehow see flames reflected in Gerald’s eyes. He couldn’t look away, and shortly after, the priest began feeling a burning sensation on the soles of his feet… Following that, the priest screamed miserably before turning into nothing but dust in less than a second! “And to me, the lives of ants are insignificant!” declared Gerald as he shook his head with a smile before placing his arms against his back. With that out of the way, Gerald’s figure slowly wavered as it became one with the wind! Due to that, he was able to swiftly return to the cave where Xyrielle had last been led into. The cave was naturally still heavily guarded, and the second the guards noticed Gerald’s presence, they immediately attempted to stop him from e
