Chapter 1612
Though the silhouette was extremely quick, Gerald was still able to see it through the corner of his eye… Realizing that they weren’t alone, Gerald had a gut feeling that the person or thing dashing about was up to no good. Not wanting Jessica or his parents to know about the figure’s presence—and potentially get worried or scared—, Gerald then quickly said, “You know, it’s getting a bit late, wouldn’t you say? You should go ahead and get some rest first, sis!” “I guess… Don’t stay up for too much longer yourself, Gerald!” replied Jessica as she smiled warmly before returning into the manor. Once he was sure that she had entered, Gerald instantly leaped out of the manor and headed to the spot where he had last been able to sense the shadowy figure’s presence. Upon arriving at the spot, Gerald stopped in his tracts before activating his holy sense to scan the area… After standing there in silence for a while, Gerald eventually looked up at the trees surrounding him before shout

Meanwhile, the sound of a cup shattering to pieces could be heard within a manor in the far-off city of Sunniva… The one who had furiously done the deed was Zaki Quantock, the head of the Quantock family… Despite there being several other Quantocks who had witnessed the scene, all of them simply lowered their heads, not even daring to say a word or look Zaki in the eye out of fear that he would take his anger out on them… “That utter b*stard…! I’ll definitely shred you to pieces, Gerald Crawford…!” roared the enraged Zaki, immense fury reflected in his eyes. The extermination of the Quartermains in Jaellatra had caused a massive stir among his family here. To think that Gerald would actually be bold enough to do such a thing! “…Father, what… should we do now…?” asked Shawn Quantock—a middle-aged man who was Zaki’s eldest son—in a careful tone as he walked up to Zaki. “Come again? What do you mean what should we do? We’re definitely making Gerald pay for all he’s done!” reto

Sneering at Gerald’s casual response, Yamazon then retorted, “Even if the Quantocks themselves don’t come for you after you destroyed the Quartermains, we sure as hell will! Cutting straight to the chase, we’re here today to end your life as revenge for the extermination of the Quartermain family!” Yamazon’s tone was frigid, and the furious aura he released was nothing short of pressuring. “…What? Are only three of you here to do the deed?” asked Gerald rather disdainfully as he alternated his gaze among the three. “You’re no prize, lad! The three of us are more than enough to finish you off!” retorted Yamazon with a snicker before the murderous man made his move! It barely took a split second for Yamazon—who had been quite a distance away—to appear right in front of Gerald! This was how powerful someone from the Sage Realm could get! Even so, Gerald had already entered the Sage Realm as well, so he wasn’t going to get caught by Yamazon that easily. Still, he knew he had to d

After taking the other two out as well, Gerald began thinking of his next step. From this encounter alone, Gerald knew that he had to head off to Sunniva City as soon as possible to destroy the Quantocks… After thinking about it a bit more, Gerald then fished his phone out and dialed the number of Hubert Younger from the Dragon Squad… Whatever his next move was, he still needed someone to deal with these corpses first. Hubert definitely didn’t have any objections to Gerald’s request, and about half an hour later, Hubert’s men arrived to take the bodies away… With that out of the way, Gerald couldn’t help but sigh rather unhappily. After all, he had been enjoying a rather good morning before Yamazon and his goons came along… Still, his family remained safe, so it wasn’t all that bad. Regardless, now that the issue was settled, Gerald hurried back to the manor… Upon arriving, Gerald realized that his family members were already awake. Since there were already plenty of design

The first reason he was returning there was to find out more about the God Lord that the man in black had previously mentioned… Secondly, he wanted to buy a few secret technique talismans. While secret technique talismans were common in Jaellatra, they were all generally rather pricey. It definitely didn’t help that the ones Gerald wanted were of the rarer variants… Quite honestly, Gerald had previously thought about learning how to make talismans. In doing so, he would surely be able to save up quite a bit. Even so, Gerald was aware that talisman making was a very challenging skill to master. With barely any time or energy to spare for that, Gerald simply put the thought aside for now. Regardless, after flying for about an hour, Gerald arrived at Jaellatra without a hitch. Now that this was his second time here, Gerald no longer found the place to be unfamiliar. In fact, he was able to gather his bearings rather easily, and he could get to the places he wanted to—within the

With that in mind, Gerald quickly got the girl off him. In response, the surprised Nori then asked, “Why have you returned, Gerald? And why didn’t you tell me that you were coming back in advance?” “I did try to look for you, but your guards told me that you had gone out! Due to that, I came over here to see if I would have any luck finding you!” explained Gerald. Upon hearing that, Nori was instantly overjoyed. After all, she had missed Gerald dearly ever since they parted ways. She had also been bored out of her mind since then. Regardless, upon seeing how intimate Nori was being with Gerald, the young man in white furiously stomped over to them before asking, “Who is he, Nori?” Glaring back at the man in white, Nori then said in a cold tone, “He’s my boyfriend, Johnie Lager! With that said, you’d best stop pestering me or he’ll teach you a good lesson!” Gerald himself could only frown when he heard Nori’s claim. This woman was far too proficient in using others as her sh
Chapter 1618
Now already seeing Gerald as his target, Johnie no longer cared about Nori’s humiliating words. While Gerald hadn’t really wanted to get too involved with this man in the first place, after hearing Johnie’s threats, Gerald found that this was as good a time as any to teach the youth a lesson. ‘So, he appears to be a fearless lad who won’t cry till he sees his own coffin! Well, since he probably won’t back down till he achieves his goal anyway…’ “Are you really sure you wish to fight me alone?” asked Gerald in a cold voice as he turned to glare at Johnie. “Stop talking crap and accept the duel already! Know that if I win, you’ll have to leave Earth Capital by crawling all the way out!” scoffed Johnie as he glared back at Gerald. “That’s fine by me, but what if you lose?” asked Gerald as he flashed a wry smile. “Humph! As if I’d ever lose to someone like you!” scoffed Johnie confidently. He had assumed that Gerald was simply no match against him, which was why he was being so
Chapter 1619
Regardless, the terrified Johnie could only stare as Gerald slowly walked over to him… before squatting right before him and outstretching his right hand. Looking at Johnie right in the eye, Gerald then said, “Well, as you’ve promised, a hundred million dollars for losing, please!” Upon hearing that, Johnie—who had already closed his eyes, expecting the worst to happen—instantly found himself heaving a sigh of relief… As it turned out, Gerald was particularly trying to teach him a lesson… Either way, Johnie understood that it was his total defeat, so he simply handed the hundred million dollars over to Gerald. Money would always come and go, so that amount was nothing much to Johnie. However, though he didn’t particularly care about losing the money, he did care about losing his pride. His dignity as the young master of the Lager family had been shattered, and Johnie simply couldn’t stand that… Whatever the case was, after taking the money, Gerald then left with Nori, leaving
