Though Gerald was pretty much at the level of a Chakra King now—meaning that he was at the top of the world—there were still many things that surprised him. For one, it hadn’t occurred to him that Mila would get so strong throughout her absence. Lifting his hand, he stared at his burnt palm… To think that the searing aura from Mila’s body was actually able to breach his thunder essential qi with such ease… As Gerald released a long sigh, over ten ghostly and strange-looking ships swiftly appeared before him, completely blocking his path in seconds... Following that, it didn’t take long for Master Ghost, Carlos, and the others to notice their presence as well. Walking over to stand behind Gerald—who was already staring at the ships with his arms against his back—everyone then watched rather curiously as a white-haired old man—alongside ten other middle-aged people—leaped off one of the ships before slowly descending toward the ship that Gerald and the others were all on. Now t
“What wonderful news! From this moment forth, he’ll be recognized by the cultivating realms all across the globe as the King of the North!” whispered Carlos and the others excitedly among themselves. Gerald, however, didn’t seem to care too much about this. After all, by this point, honor and recognition weren’t really important to him anymore. Regardless, Priest Jenkin then cleared his throat before saying, “Actually, there’s one more thing that one of the Ringmasters of Obliteration entrusted me to tell you… Quite frankly, however, I’m not really sure if you’d like to hear it…” Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “Please share it with me, leading priest!” “Well… I heard from the King of South Asia that Daryl’s had some beef with you… As I’ve earlier said, the Ringmasters of Obliteration have a rule of not getting involved with the real world… I’m sure you can guess where I’m going with this, but the love-hate relationship between you and Daryl has gotten to the point wh
“As you’ve said, I’m no longer the old me! Regardless, I’m sure you know why both of us are meeting today. Cutting straight to the chase, release my family right this instant! They have nothing to do with what’s happening between us!” said Gerald in a casual tone. “Release them you say? Oh, I will! I’ll definitely be releasing Dylan and the rest! Of course, that includes Mila!” sneered Daryl. “…What? You… You’ve even captured Mila?” replied Gerald, stunned. “That’s right! While she did get captured by those from the Sun League, she didn’t die! Quite a bit happened after that, but essentially, I managed to get my hands on her while she was representing Jaellatra on a trip to earth! Either way, I know how much you want your family to be together, Gerald, which is why I’m honestly doing you a favor by reuniting her with Dylan and the rest!” said Daryl with a scoff. “You… You despicable rat…!” growled the infuriated Gerald as he instantly made a sword finger gesture! A split seco
“Very well, then! We’ll end this tomorrow!” agreed Gerald before immediately leaving. Seconds after Gerald’s departure, two shadowy figures suddenly bounded over to Daryl’s side… “I have to insist that you’re overestimating him, my lord! Using the great dragon extermination spell on him… Don’t you think that you’re treating him a bit too highly?” “That’s right! After all, even though he’s become the King of the North and is now a Chakra King like you, it’s evident that he’s still far less capable in comparison! I mean, Gerald wasn’t even able to land a single hit on you earlier!” If it wasn’t evident enough, both of the men—who were at the level of Eighth-rank Masters—were very close to Daryl. Before they could say anything else, however, Daryl suddenly spurted a fountain of blood out of his mouth, falling to his knees seconds later! “…W-what? M-my lord!” shouted the shocked duo. Before they were able to help him up, the shivering Daryl—whose forehead was now overflowing
For all he knew, the King of Judgment Portal could very well know a thing or two about all this… Whatever the case was, Gerald was sure that most of those forces were going to be very strong. Hell, there could even be a person as strong as he was! Nevertheless, Gerald knew that he still had to save Mila and his family tomorrow. With that in mind, Gerald then closed his eyes, attempting to rest and meditate. Eventually, he lost track of time… It was sometime later when a loud voice grumbled, “Humph! How could such a big manor like this be completely devoid of people?” “Indeed! Isn’t this one of Yanam’s top manors? I had honestly expected to see a lot of celebrities here!” added another person. Following that, a few youths—both male and female—and a few other Western young masters could be seen entering the venue in a group. Since this manor’s hot springs were rather well-known, those who visited Yanam tended to drop by, which was probably why these people were here in the firs
After meeting John, things went rather smoothly and Leila was able to widen her horizons quite a bit. To put it into perspective, it was similar to a situation where a tiny-winged butterfly—who had previously only flown around local vegetable fields—suddenly grew massive wings that allowed it to fly much higher into the sky… The foreign sights, scents, and sounds… It was paradise to Leila who hadn’t anticipated there to be so much more to the world. With that in mind, Leila no longer had any trouble moving on from Gerald. While she had to admit that Gerald truly was the most exceptional person among the rest within the vegetable fields she frequented—which explained why so many butterflies fell for him—back then, now that she had experienced the paradise beyond, her desperation back then honestly felt a little funny to her. “Still, it truly is a shame that we don’t know where the dragon tower is… Even if we do, we can’t really go inside either! A great battle between the King o
While some of the men were still recovering from their initial shock, others were already looking at her with lustful gazes as they said, “What the hell is she doing here in Yanam? And why’s she dressed so erotically tonight?” Yelena hadn’t been given the title of the most beautiful woman in Asia for no reason. With that said, to men like them, she was pretty much on the level of an unattainable goddess. Regardless, due to her beauty, countless rich men had pursued her from the moment she rose to fame. While that naturally meant that several strong forces were supporting her, none of her pursuers ever really succeeded. Looking at her, Frederick had to admit that she was extraordinarily beautiful. Leila herself cast a jealous glance at the beauty. By this point, Yelena had realized that she was being stared at. Turning to look at the group of people gawking at her, she instantly began blushing, much to the awe of her spectators. Yelena was only here since the main force suppor
Once the bottle was empty, he scoffed before tossing the bottle onto the ground! With glass shards now scattered around his feet, Frederick glared at Gerald, wanting to see what he would say to that. Yelena, on the other hand, had a mortified expression on her face. After all, she knew very well who this person was! “…Foolish!” shouted Gerald. After placing a white towel on his face, Gerald had finally begun enjoying himself in the hot springs. Now that this buffoon had interrupted him, he was less than pleased. “You… What the hell did you just say?! I bet you don’t know who I am yet, right?! Just so you know, my father has connections with the Saudi royal family!” roared the angered Frederick. Silence was Gerald’s only response. After all, he could already hear the many footsteps that were swiftly approaching… and within seconds, over ten men had surrounded the area! Looking at the person who seemed to be the group’s leader, the lavishly-dressed middle-aged man had a ter
