Chapter 1029
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

Whatever the case was, Julian now finally understood why Gerald had been so happy to see him rather than being frightened. So Gerald was already this strong… Not only that, his moves were also highly unpredictable and his body was near invincible! It was evident that Gerald already knew that Julian was never a match against him from the very beginning. Thinking back, Gerald had even thanked him for presenting himself! Regret was now coursing through Julian as he wondered if things could’ve gone differently if he hadn’t decided to chase after Gerald earlier. If he had just gone home after murdering those few people, then he could’ve brewed the elixir and possibly gained the opportunity to enter the mysterious realm of inner strength. However, it was much too late for regrets now. “What… What are you planning to do with me…?” said Julian in between pants, already on his last legs. “I’ll be drawing your blood now. Worry not, for I’ll keep your body intact just as I’ve promised

“Bring the Lovewell over!” ordered the young man as his frown deepened. Hearing that, the man’s subordinates brought a severely injured Zander and Kaleb over to face him. “Are you absolutely sure that you didn’t lie when you said he was coming over to Everdare Forest?” asked the young man. “Why would I even lie to you about such a thing, Mr. Moldell? He truly did say that he was headed to this place! Also, I do hope that you realize that it wasn’t the Lovewells who killed the eight Moldell family members! Please keep that in mind…!” replied Zander, a fearful expression on his face. The young man who had been asking the questions went by the name of Yuvan Moldell, and he was the second son of the Moldell family’s head. Zander himself had already heard tales about him long ago. Tales of how cold and ruthless that man’s methods were. Being a businessman, Zander knew that he couldn’t afford to further offend either Gerald or the Moldells. However, when the Moldells sent people ov

‘…Was that my imagination?’ Thought the old man to himself, feeling slightly suspicious. While he wanted to warn Yuvan about it, the old man knew how arrogant he was. What more, Yuvan had already given him an angry glare of dissatisfaction earlier. If he were to say anything else, Yuvan’s anger would most definitely grow. ‘…I must’ve just seen wrongly!’ Regardless, the Moldells had finally been able to capture Gerald after an entire year of searching for him. In other words, they now had the ultimate bargaining chip to use against the Crawfords of Northbay. With that in mind, it was natural for all the Moldells of the Logan Province to feel extremely excited. “That kid really knows how to hide! We had to burn through so many financial resources and use endless connections but it all paid off. We’ve finally captured him today!” “Hahaha! The Moldells of Logan will finally be able to rule over the region now! Since Gerald is the only heir to the Crawford family and he’s also D

Due to that reasoning, wasn’t it a good thing that he was dying now? “…If you truly wish to see him for one final time, I may have a solution for you, miss…” “What’s your plan?!” replied Xavia immediately upon hearing that. However, she quickly realized her gaffe and said, “…W-who the hell would even want to see him? Actually, hold on, I’d really love to see the miserable state he’s currently in before he dies! Hahaha!” “…I see. Regardless, the key to the dungeon has always been in the hands of the Moldell family’s butler. Since I’m acquainted with the butler’s chance, there exists a chance that he may help us!” replied the bodyguard. “Please help me contact him then!” said Xavia. A little while later, the duo stood before the butler’s son that Xavia’s guard had mentioned. The lad himself had a crooked back and he immediately began shaking his head rapidly upon hearing Xavia’s request. “Now hold on! Do remember that Gerald is currently the most wanted person by the Moldel

Seeing him in such a state made Xavia feel extremely uncomfortable. After all, her feelings toward him were still quite vague. However, she knew for a fact that though she hated him, she still loved him even more. “Please… Please wake up now…!” wept the distressed girl as she slowly slumped to the floor to sit beside Gerald. This person had once given her the most beautiful thing in the world… He had given her selfless love. A love that meant that he didn’t mind losing everything just for her, and Xavia was well aware of that this entire time. “Gerald… I know you hate me… After all, I, of all people, ended up bullying you like the others back then… I… I just couldn’t help it at the time… I didn’t want to continue living a life where I had to constantly be despised and belittled… You know, even as a child, my biggest fear had always been others looking down on me! I… I just want others to envy and adore me…! But none of that matters anymore because regardless of how much fame I ga

“Second young master, I’ve no idea what’s wrong with your dogs today! They simply refuse to eat! As if that wasn’t odd enough, they keep biting onto their chains with panicked expressions on their faces! Could they possibly have encountered something when we brought them into the mountains three days ago?” said a housekeeper to Yuvan as the others were still enjoying their lunch. “Encountered something? Nothing comes to mind. They could be ill, so call a vet in to have a look at them!” sneered Yuvan. The moment his sentence ended, however, a servant came stumbling in next before saying, “S-second young master! Bad news! Two of your dogs have just died! I don’t even know what happened! One moment they suddenly started acting all crazy and the next, both of them were already foaming at their mouths!” Since the servant was well aware of how much the second young master loved raising dogs, he had immediately told Yuvan about the discovery to avoid getting into any unnecessary trouble
