Chapter 1023
“So I heard that you’ve successfully captured Gerald Crawford, Mr. Lovewell. On behalf of the Moldells, I really don’t know how to thank you enough,” said an elderly man—who was leading seven other members of the Moldell family—as he laughed out loud. “You’re being far too modest, Mr. Yaster. After all, the Lovewells and the Moldells may as well be considered to be one big family in the Logan Province by this point. Gerald himself is a mere outsider. Why would we ever favor an outsider to someone from our side?” replied Zander with a subtle smile. “Well I’ll be d*mned! That really is him! You have no idea how much effort we had to put in order to find him!” said Yaster, his voice overjoyed as he approached the unconscious Gerald. Yaster himself was a senior figure within the Moldell family in Logan. In fact, his job was to manage the entire family in the province. Therefore, successfully capturing Gerald would definitely be a great achievement on his part. He was already wonderin

However, his current opponents were from the Moldell family. Even so, he was ready to give it his all. After all, Gerald had saved his life during the decisive battle with Damian last night. His action alone had made Kaleb feel respected like never before. It truly touched Kaleb, and from that moment onward, the old man felt as though he no longer had to suffer through any more humiliation. As a result, Kaleb had pledged his loyalty and allegiance to Gerald back there and then. It was the reason why he was fighting so hard now for Gerald’s sake. Even after fighting for a while, it seemed as though the Moldell family’s subordinates weren’t really Kaleb’s opponents. Seeing that, Yaster shook his head with a bitter smile on his face as he said, “He truly is worthy of the title of a champion! I guess this guest of the Lovewells isn’t as simple as he looks!” “Well that’s probably because you haven’t made a move yet, Mr. Moldell. Who in the Logan Province doesn’t know that you’

“You call that a poison? I used it as a sort of medicine to supplement my health over half a year ago! Did you truly just try to use that to poison me?” After soaking his body so much in all sorts of medicinal herbs and other materials—that Finnley had provided him with—back then, Gerald was already immune to certain poisons. It was evident that the poison that they had tried to use on him was one of them. In all honesty, Gerald could already tell that the tea—that Haven had served him earlier—was poisoned, long before he sipped on it. After all, he was an expert when it came to pharmacology. He was also well aware back then that Haven would never try to harm him. With that in mind, he knew that it was definitely one of the Lovewells who wanted to harm him. But who? Wanting to find out, Gerald pretended to pass out so that he could wait for the true culprits to show themselves. “You brat! Have you any idea how hard the Moldells have been trying to find you this entire time? T

“P-please spare our lives, Mr. Crawford!” cried out Zander as he immediately knelt in fright. Seeing that, all the other Lovewells did the same. Taking in a deep breath, Gerald closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again. The rage in his eyes was no longer present. Since Gerald was still enraged earlier, Zayn had made the fatal mistake of touching him while he was still in an extremely hostile state. Now that he was much calmer, Gerald turned to face Zander and walked toward him before saying, “…Spare your lives? After you’ve gone against your promise to hand the Book of Beasts over to me? And don’t even get me started on the fact that you colluded with the Moldells to harm me…” Upon saying that, he gently grabbed onto the top of Zander’s head. Zander himself already had a face filled with tears and snot as he stared at the demon of a man standing before him. Just as Gerald was about to amplify the force of his grip, Haven suddenly rushed in while shouting, “

‘But… There’s just no way she would even know who Gerald is… Unless… Could he truly be in the Logan Province…? Hold on, she may not even be talking about the same Gerald!’ Xavia thought to herself. With so many questions swimming in her head, Xavia couldn’t hold herself back from chasing after Haven. She desperately needed answers. Fast forward to two days later, Gerald found himself in the hinterland of Everdare Forest which was located at the border of the Logan Province. With a heritage that spanned over thousands of years, the trees within Everdare Forest grew extremely densely atop the many mountains that also grew particularly close to each other. Aside from the immense variety of flora that could be found there, several species of predators were also known to lurk within the forest. “Careful when plugging the hole! We can’t let the beast escape again with how cunning it is!” said one of the many men standing in front of a hole that the holy fox had been cornered in. Wi

Despite that, Gerald wasn’t giving in that easily. Utilizing a skill that allowed him to tread extremely lightly, his feet almost never touched the ground as he sprinted after the fox. After running for quite some time, the holy fox came to realize that Gerald didn’t seem to be slowing down. Understanding that it wouldn’t be able to get rid of him easily by simply running around, the fox dived into a bush. The moment it entered the bush, Gerald lost track of it almost instantaneously! “D*mn it all! Did you really just escape again?!” said Gerald to himself as he stopped running, feeling slightly depressed. However, he hadn’t given up yet. Holding his breath to remain silent, he quickly and carefully scanned through the area around him. If he wasn’t careful to pay attention while he could, Gerald feared that the fox would end up entirely leaving the area. He was surprised, however, to suddenly hear voices shouting, “D-don’t kill us! Please don’t kill us!” Looking in the

Turning to his side, Gerald noticed that the one making the sounds was a puppy that was slowly limping toward him! Upon closer inspection, the puppy seemed to have a broken leg. What more, there were visible scars all over its body as well. When it finally reached Gerald’s side, it lay at his feet before promptly starting to lick the tip of his shoe. Gerald was more startled than anything. After all, he hadn’t expected to bump into this little one so deep inside the forest. In a way, it was a miracle that this puppy was still alive with so many predatory beasts lurking within the forest. “…Could you be asking me to save you?” asked Gerald. Barking twice in response, it then continued licking Gerald’s shoe. While Gerald’s first thought—upon seeing the puppy—was to extract its blood to make blood essence, after the puppy started licking his shoe, he realized two things. First of all, the puppy was simply too small to make a worthwhile blood essence extraction. Secondly, he re

With that, he laughed. While he was excited to find a source of blood, he was also genuinely surprised by the old man’s statement. “Indeed! You’ve been a huge waste of time and effort, you know? Regardless, since I managed to bump into you while looking for one final essential ingredient for my medicine, I believe that both of us were destined to meet here. While it was a pity that I wasn’t able to kill you back then in the Salford Province, it seems that you’re just itching to die since you brought yourself right to my doorstep this time! It’s high time we settled all our past grudges and grievances today, Mr. Crawford!” replied the old man, his gaze frigid. “Ah, yes, you were still working for the Schuylers back then in the Salford Province if I remember correctly. We didn’t even hate each other yet at the time. Sometime after that incident happened, however, I was surprised that you weren’t even present when I returned to the province around six months ago. So it turns out that
