Upon getting closer to the rest of the group, the duo could hear Yosef saying, “As you all probably already know, the Turnbulls are an extremely large and strong family that’s existed for at least a few hundred years in Yanam. What you may not know, however, is the fact that the party was first proposed by Young Master Baelfire Turnbull himself! With that in mind, any party that he organizes will surely attract all sorts of celebrities and prestigious people from all over the country!” Throughout his confident introduction—that stirred quite a commotion among the audience—Yosef made sure to take good, long looks at the beautiful women present, evidently finding satisfaction from the shock in their faces. Since Fia was the most beautiful among them all, Yosef made sure to take an extra long glance at her, a glance of which was noticed by Beau who was standing at the side. Upon realizing that, Beau couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous. After all, his status was so much lower com

Regardless, Gerald couldn’t help but nod with a smile. She wasn’t a bad woman at all, and though her words were casual, they gave Gerald a warm feeling inside. ‘How rare to meet such a kind woman nowadays… I wonder if fate had planned for us to get acquainted…’ With that in mind, Gerald felt that he may as well use this chance to grant her a wish or two. After all, money was no real issue to him and he didn’t mind really spending a large sum as long as it got her what she wanted or gave her access to a skill she wanted to learn. In a way, this was his way of repaying her kindness to him this entire time. His train of thought was cut short when Young Master Turnbull—who was still on the stage—held onto the microphone before saying, “Ladies, and gentlemen! Please, be quiet!” Hearing that, everyone instantly went quiet. Honestly, it was so silent, that it almost felt like this was some rehearsed scene in a play. Regardless, now that everyone was paying attention, Baelfire narrow

The wooden carton itself appeared very tightly wrapped. Even so, the others could still see the faint outlines of a long-haired woman inside who was curled up into a ball. “How perplexing! To think that Young Master Turnbull would actually be audacious enough to auction an actual woman!” growled the slightly angered Sia. She wasn’t the only one either. While some of them may have preferred money and others power, many of the women there still had their limits, and they were simply unwilling to just accept the fact that one of their own was being auctioned off just like that! Their anger and dissatisfaction were completely reasonable. After all, what else were they supposed to feel seeing a person of their gender being put on display to be sold like that? Despite the majority of women being rightfully angered, some of them appeared to have different opinions. Namely, Fia, who found herself muttering, “What would you know? For rich young heirs, human rights being snatched away is

‘…Could… I have heard wrong…? There’s just no way, right…?’ Giya thought to herself as she slowly looked around in disbelief, trying to find the source of that shout. However, the second she saw him, she was so shocked that she felt that she was possibly still dreaming! She wanted to say something, anything. But it felt like a lump in her throat was preventing her from saying a word… As for Sia, she turned to look at Gerald—who was already walking toward the stage—before shouting in surprise, “Huh? You… Know that woman, Gerald?” “Hah! I guess that loser was so entranced by her that he couldn’t help but walk over! From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who has the money to buy her over through auctioning either!” scoffed Beau. “Who exactly is he? How rude! If he ends up offending Young Master Turnbull, he’ll definitely end up dead soon! With that said, let’s keep our distance from him!” muttered Yosef with a frown. Though Sia wanted to at least try to

With contemptuous glares on their faces, the seven men then began crouching, looking very much like vicious wolves that were planning to pounce onto Gerald! Their stance was so terrifying that everyone else instantly held their breaths! “Oh god, it looks like they’re positioning themselves to hack this insensible guy to pieces!” “Humph! It’s his own fault for courting death! Still, I do wonder if he’s unaware of the power the Turnbulls have in Yanam. After all, he dared to offend Young Master Turnbull of all people! Whatever the case is, once he’s dealt with, his family members will surely be next!” Though most of the people offstage were sneering at Gerald, Sia herself was feeling deeply anxious. Turning to look to her side, she then pleaded, “Young Master Jenks! Fia! Hurry and figure out a way to save him! Use your families’ powers or something! He couldn’t help it he just wanted to save that woman…!” However, both of them simply returned cold expressions to her. “Sia,

Following a cold smile, Gerald slashed the air with two of his fingers, prompting a blade of light to form! As it instantly flew in Baelfire’s direction, Lenox attempted to stop it from proceeding any further. However, he ended up freezing in place the second he realized how strong the blade really was. That power… Nobody would’ve been able to stop it! “Y-young master…!” shouted the horrified Lenox as he watched Baelfire get sliced into eight pieces in no time flat! With how terribly he had died, the atmosphere quickly grew exceedingly suffocating… Lenox himself was momentarily stunned in his utter disbelief… Who could blame him? He had just witnessed the horrifying death of the only son of the richest man in Yanam! That youth had control over half the economy there! Now that all this had happened, Lenox was now having so much trouble imagining what was to come that his ears started ringing. Eventually, the pale-faced middle-aged man then turned to look at Gerald before s

Everyone else had their eyes widened in incredulity as well, now finally realizing that the person on stage was none other than the one and only Mr. Crawford of Sacrasolis Palace! As everyone remained momentarily shocked, Carlos broke the silence by saying, “So, Mr. Crawford, what should we do with this person?” From the way he said it, it was clear that Carlos cared little about the consequences, and the same went for Gerald’s other men on stage. The only one who had initially been slightly hesitant was Yeshua, who had planned on advising Gerald not to mess with the Turnbulls. After all, they were a top major family who owned over half of Yanam’s wealth! What more, those in the Turnbull family were also relatives of the King of Yanam! In short, that family had a deeply-rooted position there… With that in mind, the fact that Mr. Crawford had just killed Hooper Turnbull’s only son spelled nothing but complete disaster! Even so, after realizing how much Carlos and the others re

The second she felt him grabbing onto her arm, the initially shocked woman quickly became infuriated as she shouted, “You…! How dare you…?!” Following that, a layer of draconic scales that glowed scarlet could faintly be seen on her arm! As the glow grew brighter, Gerald could feel a rapidly increasing heat on his palm, prompting him to release his grip before taking two steps back. It was at that moment when the woman finally turned to face her wrathful gaze at Gerald, her charming face now reddened in anger as she snapped, “How dare you behave so imprudently toward me!” Upon getting a good look at her face, Gerald instantly began breathing much rapidly, now appearing even more emotionally moved than before! ‘Not only do you sound like her, but you look exactly like her too! I can now say with full certainty that I’ve finally found you, Mila…!’ “Please take a good, long look at me, Mila! Have you truly forgotten who I am? I’m Gerald! I’ve been tirelessly looking for you th
