Realizing that all of them had heard the same thing, everyone turned to look at the doorway… Following that, a young priest who was trembling in fear walked into the room… Staring at him, Hoyt then asked in a cold voice, “What is it-” Before his question could even end, a figure—who had been hiding behind the priest’s back—slowly revealed himself. Naturally, it was Gerald. It took Hoyt a moment, but when he finally realized who the youth was, he found himself muttering, “…You… You’re Gerald from the Crawford family, no?” “Bingo!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile. “M-master Crawford…! I’ve already led you here! You… You promised you’d spare my life once I did that, right…?” stuttered the priest fearfully. The second his sentence ended, however, Gerald simply flicked the back of his palm against the priest’s skull… and just like that, the priest’s head exploded! As if that wasn’t already enough, the priest’s entire body then quickly dissipated into a bloody mist! What a
“But of course! Regardless, everything is perfect now! After waiting for over a dozen generations, the prophecy of the picture of the sun is finally going to be fulfilled! After all, you’re the true bearer of the Herculean Primordial Spirit!” declared Hoyt with a laugh. “What I’m hearing is that since the mission is now complete, my family and I should no longer exist among the living, correct?” asked Gerald. “Naturally. While I admit that you’re able to see through issues pretty thoroughly, it’s quite unfortunate that there really is no other way out for you. Your fate had already been determined from the moment you were born! You were always destined to end up in our hands!” retorted Hoyt, his mocking expression filled with ridicule. After taking note of all of this, Gerald then laughed bitterly before replying, “You almost sound proud of your ability to manipulate others and play god.” “Of course, I am! As if there’s anything more exciting than that in the world!” sneered Ho
“Just because you people have a slightly higher rank, you all think you’re so invincible… Is being strong the reason why all of you think it’s fine to manipulate the lives of others? Well guess what? Your lives are dirt cheap before me!” roared Gerald. “Everyone, keep your guard up! Attack him together or we’ll never be able to capture Gerald!” ordered Hoyt whose eyelids were still twitching. Since the remaining seven experts now had a common enemy, all of them instantly began charging up their strongest attacks before assaulting Gerald together! Due to the immense release of essential qi, the entire area began trembling rather violently… With debris and dust flying everywhere, the seven men were just about to land their attacks on Gerald when suddenly, he seemingly vanished into thin air! Before anyone could even react, the first wail of despair could be heard… Then another… And another… By the time the dust finally settled, seven mangled and bloodied corpses lay at Gerald’s
After hearing what Gerald had to say, Hoyt’s nervousness and anxiety instantly peaked. Feeling cold sweat drip down his forehead, he was now having trouble just holding the bead steadily in his hand. “I advise you to think this through. Know that if you get careless, I’ll make sure to fully dismantle you as you watch your body fall to pieces before the formation even activates… I’m not one to joke around, just in case you were wondering,” replied Gerald. “…T-that…!” muttered Hoyt as he stared at the carnage that Gerald had left behind, too nervous to even speak anymore. Both Hoyt’s hands now trembling violently, he watched as Gerald extended his own hand to take the bead off him. “So… This is the Thunderstorm Formation?” asked Gerald as he carefully observed the bead. True enough, Gerald was able to sense a small formation contained within the bead. “T-that’s right!” replied Hoyt as he nodded like an idiot. Following that, both Hoyt and Master Ghost’s eyes widened as Gerald
The reason why Hoyt was able to escape was because Gerald had deliberately let him go.He originally thought that he would be able to make use of Hoyt so that he could find Yearning Island.Unexpectedly, Hoyt had actually gone into hiding on his own instead.Since Hoyt was no longer of any value to him, Gerald would obviously not let him off just let that. At that moment, he activated his spell on the spot in order to kill Hoyt, who was a thousand miles away.Fortunately, he had already found Master Ghost. So, once Master Ghost had recovered his vitality, Gerald believed that at that time, Master Ghost would be able to determine the direction that Gerald’s family was in, then.Over these past few days, Carlos and the others could not hold back, and they kept coming forth to request for Gerald to set up his own cultivation sect to formally establish his superiority in front of his subordinates.The difference this time was that this proposal had been directly approved by Master Gh
It had already been very difficult for him to go even further throughout all these years.It was probably because he was born into an ordinary mortal life in the first place. However, even though he was not very strong, Gerald also had very high regard for him.As for Hubert, he was naturally filled with reverence for Gerald.“My injury has been completely healed after receiving treatment from you, Magnificent Lord. I rushed here as soon as I heard that you called for me!” Hubert said as he bowed slightly.“Well, I heard Master Ghost telling me that the Dragon Squad has a very systematic underground resource network. So, I would like to ask for your help for a certain matter, Mr. Younger!” Gerald spoke up.“I owe my life to you, Magnificent Lord. So, please give me any commands you may have!”Hubert said as he bowed.“Julian, Carlos…” Gerald looked at these two men.“Yes, Magnificent Lord!”“Since the establishment of Sacrasolis Palace has already been determined, I’ll assign
Since the Soul Arch Compass belonging to the Dragon Squad was so important, Gerald did not dare to delay any longer. After assigning certain specific tasks, Gerald rushed to the Dragon Squad’s base with Master Ghost.The Dragon Squad base was a base that was located in Tierson Mountain.Of course, this area of Tierson Mountain was also forbidden to the outside world.However, anyone who could enter the Dragon Squad base were all first-class masters who had to complete a variety of restricted tasks to ensure the safety of their party.So, the Dragon Squad was naturally known as the hidden dragons of Weston.It was under the direct control of Weston.“Hubert Younger, are you insane?! How dare you bring such an immature and inexperienced young brat to the Dragon Squad base? That is already bad enough, but you even dared to recommend him to become an instructor at our base?!”In the chief captain, Team Leader Lock’s office.As Hubert was excitedly talking about this matter, the oth
Hubert was anxious.“Alright, that’s enough. I’m tired. You guys can leave first.”Yeshua turned his back around as he raised his hand to give them the order to leave.What Burnard had said was right. Hubert was actually asking him to go and meet this young kid? That was indeed a joke!At the same time, Yeshua also felt slightly dissatisfied with Hubert. It seemed as though Hubert was acting a little too frivolously at this point, and that was the reason why he did not want to continue talking to him anymore.Hubert could only nod as he glanced coldly at Burnard before retreating directly.Burnard also left the office quickly.“Captain Jole, do you think that this guy named Gerald Crawford is actually a helper that Hubert has hired? After all, the election for the vice chief caption of the Dragon Squad will be coming up soon. Perhaps Hubert knows that he’s not your opponent at all, and that is the reason why he called him here?”Burnard’s deputy asked in a low voice at a seclud
