Chapter 1648
“That’s great to hear! And I agree, the sooner we leave, the better!” replied Gerald. Now that they had found the adventure team in one piece, they needed to begin hiking down the same way they had come up with in order to reunite with the rest of the rescue team. Once that was done, they’d begin descending the mountain… While Gerald was still rather curious about the thousand-year-old panax ginseng, he didn’t want to risk everyone’s lives just to look for it. Besides, it wasn’t even a proven fact that it was really able to revive the dead. With that in mind, the adventure team then began making their way down the mountain. As the saying went, descending a mountain was always easier than ascending one. Adding that to the fact that Gerald and Quest were providing their aid, the journey downward became much easier to bear. With that in mind, it took the group only half an hour to descend halfway down the mountain. Ten minutes before they could reunite with Patrick’s group, howeve

Scattered around him, were the carcasses of the white wolves from before that had died upon impact. With how tough Gerald’s body was, it was no wonder why he had not only survived, but he barely suffered any injuries! Due to that, it wasn’t long after before he slowly awoke… Checking to see if he had suffered any injuries, Gerald was delighted to find out that his body was a-okay. After hopping off the thickets, Gerald then retrieved his small knife and began slicing the meat off the white wolves. Since he didn’t know how much longer he was going to remain stuck here, Gerald knew that he had to stock up on food while he could. Once he had gathered enough, Gerald began walking around to gather his bearings. What he was able to witness soon after, however, was nothing short of a utopia. Staring in amazement, it was the first time Gerald had ever seen such a beautiful place. It was so beautiful, in fact, that Gerald simply knew that such a place couldn’t exist anyplace else. A

The second he heard that, Gerald’s eyes immediately widened. Though he thought that he had heard wrong, he quickly realized that that wasn’t the case. Two thousand years… To think that this young-looking woman was at least two thousand years old…! How terrifying! And to think that she had stayed here—remaining completely undiscovered—throughout that period! What kind of person even was June…? Had he not fallen into the valley, Gerald could’ve very well have missed her as well… Seeing that Gerald had no further questions, June took the chance to ask, “Now then… enough about me. Why did you come to the holy mountain?” Upon hearing that, Gerald recalled why Nori and the others had hiked up the mountain in the first place. With that in mind, Gerald then replied, “I came here to look for an ancient herb known as the thousand-year-old panax ginseng!” “You… came here looking for that herb…? What do you need it for? Are you trying to create a rejuvenating pellet?” asked June as she f
Chapter 1651
So that’s why the herbs had been kept so well hidden from the rest of the world… June was even here to constantly stand guard over the thousand-year-old panax ginsengs! “Nobody should ever get their hands on the herbs… Otherwise, catastrophe will be sure to follow! I’m sure you can understand that, right?” said June as she stared at Gerald. Now understanding the consequences that could happen, Gerald simply nodded as he replied, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take any of them!” “I’m glad to hear that. Regardless, I’ll be giving you something to express my gratitude!” said June as she gracefully waved her hand, prompting a small, cubic treasure box of sorts to materialize within her palm… After receiving the treasure box from June, the curious Gerald wondered what she had just given him. Carefully prying the box open, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a single tiny pellet inside… Looking up at June, Gerald then said, “…This…” “That’s a rejuvenating pellet, and it’s the

Following that, Nori began telling her father what had happened on the holy mountain… By the end of her tale, even Yoshua found the turn of events slightly hard to believe. To think that Gerald had sacrificed his safety just to protect the adventure team from those white wolves… What a truly heroic act… Patting his daughter’s back, Yoshua then consoled, “Don’t worry, Nori. Gerald will definitely make it back safely!” Nodding in response, Nori hoped with all her heart that Gerald would make a safe return as well… Meanwhile in Magic Land, Gerald himself was having a meal while chatting with June, completely oblivious to what was happening in the outside world. Not even knowing how anxiously Nori and the others were awaiting his return, Gerald took a sip of tea before looking toward June and asking, “Speaking of which… Have you been guarding this place this entire time? Could it be that you’ve never left this place before…?” Shaking her head in response, June then said, “I’d

The second she managed to snap out of her stupefied state, Nori immediately yelled, “G-Gerald…!” Now teary-eyed, Nori then rushed over and hugged him tightly. Realizing that Gerald was in one piece, Quest and the others were equally as delighted and surprised. As they ran over to him as well, Nori was already scanning Gerald from head to toe while asking, “A-are you alright Gerald? Are you hurt anywhere?” Seeing how worried she was, Gerald could only smile before replying, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Hearing that, Nori was so relieved that she found herself gently hitting her small hands against his chest while whining, “You… You really scared me half to death this time…!” The solace she was now getting after witnessing yesterday’s events was simply too much… As both Patrick and Quest began patting Gerald’s shoulders, Quest eventually found himself asking, “Regardless… What happened after you fell? That was a pretty high fall you know?” Laughing in response, Gerald simply
Chapter 1654
Hearing their son’s question, Dylan then replied, “Ah, well, they’ve both gone to the Laiross State! From what we’ve been told, Mila appears to have found her biological parents there! With that in mind, she’s paying the Smith family there a visit to confirm it!” “What? The Laiross State? Her biological parents?” muttered Gerald in slight disbelief. Following that, Gerald left some instructions for his parents before leaving for the Laiross State alone… Meanwhile, both Mila and Jessica were standing in the hall of the Smith family manor. The Smiths in the Laiross State were considerably powerful—due to them owning a large business chain—and were one of the more prestigious families here. Whatever the case was, Mila’s sudden arrival was definitely unexpected, to say the least. “So… You’re saying that your name is Mila Smith?” asked a luxuriously dressed woman—with heavy makeup on—as she stared at Mila. “That’s right. I came here looking for Zyre Smith, my biological father
Chapter 1655
Upon hearing that, Mila barely said a word. Instead, she simply held onto Jessica’s arm before tugging her away. Not even sure what to do, Zyre could only watch as the two of them left… Seeing that the duo was gone, Hollie and her mother instantly yanked Zyre into the house with them. After sitting him on a couch, they made sure to properly interrogate him. As it turned out, Zyre had apparently made out with another woman—who went by the name of Yviene Morish and was Mila’s biological mother—before getting married to Chaney. Unfortunately, Zyre’s family was unwilling to let them be together. Due to that, after Mila’s birth, Yviene left just like that. Though the memory of her remained for the many years to come, Zyre never mentioned it to a soul. While he had thought of the possibility of Yviene appearing one day with Mila, he never thought that he would meet his daughter alone under such circumstances. Regardless, Chaney and Hollie were greatly angered after hearing all that
