Chapter 1616
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

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

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

“You were asking about God Lord, right? His real name is Apollo and he’s the supreme ruler of Jaellatra! He lives in the God Temple!” explained Nori. Hearing that, Gerald now realized that his actions must’ve already caught the attention of Jaellatra’s supreme ruler… “Actually, why the sudden interest in him, Gerald? Just so you know, God Lord isn’t as simple as you may think he is. According to rumors, he’s already trained enough to attain the Seventh-soul-rank in the Sage Realm! With that said, he truly is a terrifying individual!” added Nori. Even though Nori was clueless as to why Gerald was asking about the God Lord, it was clear that she was warning him against trying to mess with Apollo. After finding out that Apollo had possibly already entered the Seventh-soul-rank in the Sage Realm, Gerald felt a shiver run down his spine… If that was really the case, then Apollo was surely someone with monstrous strength… Since Gerald was now only nearing the Second-soul-rank withi

As they approached the Talisman hall, Gerald saw that the entire building was plated in gold. There also appeared to be a huge stone tablet carved into the shape of a secret technique talisman in front of the building. Since it was located near the entrance, it was only fair to assume that the tablet was the symbol of the Talisman Hall… Not many people came to the Talisman Hall in general, and those who did were usually dressed in luxurious clothing. That didn’t really come as a surprise, however, since this place was even fancier than even the most expensive of locations within Jaellatra. Regardless, upon arriving at the main entrance, Gerald and Nori were greeted by the sight of a man donning a robe that looked similar to a court robe. Naturally, one needed to fulfill certain conditions to even be able to enter the building, and the man acted as the doorkeeper of the Talisman Hall. After looking at a charm that Nori fished out from her pocket, the doorkeeper’s eyes instantl

“Still, why are you suddenly asking me about this? Could you be interested in learning how to craft secret technique talismans?” asked Nori as she smiled at him. Seeing that she seemed to have caught on, Gerald didn’t deny it and simply nodded slowly. “…Well, if you truly are interested in learning, I could introduce you to someone I know. He’s a Second-rank Talisman Master within the Talisman Union, and his name is Chace Hunt. He’s an old friend of my father!” suggested Nori. “Is that possible? I mean, I’m not even a local to Jaellatra. Am I qualified to learn how to craft secret technique talismans…?” asked Gerald, knowing full well about the prejudice many people from Jaellatra had against those from earth. There was simply too massive a difference between the people from the two lands. “Don’t worry, Master Hunt is a nice person, so I’m sure he won’t mind! Besides, my father isn’t one to ostracize those from outside Jaellatra!” replied Nori, convincing him not to worry too m

“But of course! Please, follow me!” replied the staff as he led Gerald and Nori into another hall. Upon entering, a multitude of talismans could be seen hung dazzlingly on the walls. With all of them seeming to have varying levels of quality, Gerald quickly began browsing to see which ones he needed. Thankfully, the ones inside this hall were much affordable, ranging only from prices between a few thousand to several million dollars. It took him about an hour, but by the time Gerald was finally done, he had bought a few hundred middle and high-quality talismans. He got himself a few dozen rare quality ones as well. In total, the final sum amounted to a whopping hundred and thirty million dollars! Naturally, Gerald had used his own money to cover the extra costs. Still, Gerald now knew how pricey these talismans could get! Even so, they were a necessary purchase. After all, he wanted to have them ready for self-defense and also in case of emergencies. The best thing about tali
