Chapter 1014
The simultaneously surprised and delighted voice had come from a middle-aged man who stood up as soon as he saw her. “It’s truly been a while, uncle!” replied Xavia with a slight nod. “Humph! It’s just as they say. When you’re poor, nobody looks for you even if you’re living in a bustling city! When you get rich, however, even the most distant of relatives will come running to meet you, even if you’re living in the middle of a forest! I do wonder if that saying applies to a certain relative of mine who just so happened to hear that my family’s Zion just got promoted!” sneered a woman—seated on one of the couches—before flashing a cold smile as she continued peeling an orange. Hearing that, several of the other young men and women in the room took turns staring at Xavia contemptuously. “It’s been so long yet your way of talking never changes, does it, aunt? Now that I think about it, this was also the place where you mocked and embarrassed my mother so much back then, right?” r

“…X-Xavia… W-we were wrong to treat you that way back then! Please, there’s just so much money here! It would be near impossible for us to get the exact amount down!” stuttered her second aunt who was no fool. Knowing full well that Xavia was finally back for her revenge, she begged to be released from her imminent torture. “Count it. Don’t make me repeat it a third time!” sneered Xavia as her second aunt instantly began crying out of fear. Not knowing what else to do, she squatted down and began counting the dollar bills, one by one. “Remember, I want the exact amount! No more and no less! Again, the money is yours once you get the final amount right. Get the amount wrong, however, then you can just keep on counting forever!” added Xavia with a smile before walking over to the side and drinking a glass of water that her subordinate had gotten for her. At the same time, a youth wearing a cap frowned under his mask as he continued observing Xavia’s actions from a far corner.

Struggling with all she could, Xavia managed to momentarily break free. Immediately after, she pulled out a dagger from seemingly nowhere! “Don’t move a step closer! My men are nearby! The way you said it, I’m assuming that you people have been following me for some time now!” warned Xavia as she waved the dagger around. “Please trust us, Miss Xavia. Our boss is truly interested in working with you! Besides, you’ll also be getting something else in return!” said the foreigner maliciously as he casually began walking toward her. As Xavia’s panic peaked, she heard a whisper of sorts saying, “Toss the dagger!” Though nobody else seemed to have heard it, Xavia felt compelled to obey the order. As a result, she immediately tossed the dagger toward the foreigner! The foreigner himself had been laughing while shaking his head before she tossed it. By the time the dagger left her hand, he was halfway through saying, “Miss Xavia, stop swinging that thing around! That’s rather rude of
Chapter 1017
Haven was utterly shocked to see him there. She naturally remembered him since he had been quite an interesting guy when they first met on the train. In her disbelief, she opened the main door in her attempt to confirm whether she had really seen him. However, she could only catch a glimpse of ‘Gerald’s’ back as he stepped into a car before her father closed the door behind him. “Gerald!” shouted Haven as the cars swiftly drove off, unable to hear her cries. Scratching the back of her head, she wondered if it really had just been her imagination. After all, why would he be in her house? What more, her father certainly wouldn’t personally open a car door for someone like him! “Is something wrong, Haven?” asked Xareni as she and Quentin walked over to her. “You’ll never guess who I saw, sis!” “Who?” “I saw Gerald!” “And who is this, Gerald person?” asked Xareni with a slight frown. “Have you already forgotten? He’s the guy we met inside the train!” “That disgusting gu

The voice belonged to Kaleb and the old man managed to block Damian’s critical blow just in time. “Would you look at that! He must’ve endlessly trained himself to launch such a perfected punch!” said Gerald as he continued observing the fight from the side-lines. Gerald had arrived at that conclusion since Damian’s skills weren’t all that different from all the other people he had previously killed. However, Damian was different from them since his execution of each of those skills was extremely powerful! If Gerald had to guess, Damian had probably become a champion much earlier than Kaleb. After all, a champion’s inner strength naturally grew stronger the longer they had that title. In a way, it was just like wine. The longer it was left underground, the more exquisite the taste. While both Kalen and Damian were akin to exquisite wine, Gerald knew that Kaleb wouldn’t be able to take Damian down. After all, Gerald’s keen eyes had registered that though Kaleb was definitely mo

“Deal!” replied Gerald with a smile. Gerald himself was done with doing favors for others. In order to get what he wanted, he knew that he had to become a selfish person. After all, at this point, there really wasn’t a reason for him to do things that didn’t benefit him anymore. The moment Gerald finally agreed to help, Kaleb and Theo were flung over to his direction and both of them landed at his feet. “Hahaha! Did you really bring these idiots over to defend you, Zander? Who else is there? Come on, now!” roared Damian before laughing hysterically. Upon hearing that, Gerald began walking calmly toward him. “…Hmm? What’s this then? A little boy? Is there truly nobody else from the Lovewell family? Who the hell even is this?” said Damian as he shook his head while looking at Gerald. “I’ve heard that you’ve been learning some skills that originated from Northeast Asia! Is that true?” asked Gerald as he looked back at Damian. Hearing that, Damian was temporarily stunned. Aft
Chapter 1020
Following that sound, a glimpse of something flying extremely quickly could be seen, and barely a second later, Damian’s screams of agony filled the air! Not even questioning the self-returning dagger, the moment Zander saw Damian’s body flop lifelessly to the ground, he immediately started excitedly shouting, “H-he’s dead! He’s finally dead!” Turning to look at Gerald, he then said, “Mr. Crawford, you’ve done a massive favor for the Lovewells! I must repay you properly on behalf of my family!” “As was promised, all I want is the Book of Beasts!” replied Gerald as he returned a subtle smile to Zander. Immediately after hearing that, Zander froze in place. As he began trying to change the topic, Haven herself—who had been hiding with her siblings in the forested area this entire time—covered her mouth as she said, “D-did you see that sis? That really is Gerald! And… And he’s amazing?!” Xareni herself had been focused on him for a while now. ‘To think that Gerald came over

“It’s me, Gerald!” Before Gerald could even say anything, the door to his room was pushed open and Haven popped her head in before entering. “Didn’t you head back to your room to rest, Haven? Why are you here again?” asked Gerald with a resigned smile on his face. Haven had immediately looked for him the moment he returned to the manor, intent on finding out how he was so powerful. Not seeing any reason to hide anything from her, Gerald had earlier chatted with her for a while before sending her off. He truly hadn’t expected to meet her again so soon. “Well, the more I thought about it back in my room, the more I felt that something just wasn’t right! Humph! You’re not being a very good friend at all! Have you already forgotten that we had agreed to be friends back when we were still on the train? It took me a moment to realize, but you never came looking for me in the end! How do you plan on explaining yourself?” said Haven as she took a seat. “Haha… Guilty as charged!”
