Chapter 1056
However, upon seeing how seriously Gerald was already studying the image of the sun, Lyra leaned toward Gerald’s side and held on to her beautiful chin before observing the picture as well. In general, once people placed their other thoughts aside, they would be able to concentrate much better. That applied to Lyra as well. As she continued looking at it, Lyra paused for a brief moment before a frown began forming on her face. “…Hmm?” Squinting her eyes, Lyra’s eyes slowly widened, fear reflected in them as she sat upright before shouting, “No… No!” Everyone instantly became terrified as they watched Lyra—who had placed her hands on the side of her head—scream hysterically. “Lyra? Lyra, are you alright?” asked Gerald. “What’s wrong, Lyra?” asked Daryl next as he stood up and walked toward her. With a quivering finger, Lyra then pointed at the picture of the sun. In a terrified voice, she then muttered, “I… I saw it…” She was simply too frightened to even say anything

“Alright Lyra, listen to me. I want you to take in a deep breath and focus on the picture again. I need to know whether you see the same scene again,” said Daryl hurriedly. Hearing that, Lyra nodded before reluctantly turning to look at the picture of the sun once more. After furrowing her brows for a while, she eventually covered her mouth before replying with a nod, “…It’s exactly the same… Upon closer inspection, the five people were even making threatening gestures… I… I can’t bear to look at the picture anymore… Grandpa, please! You have to save Gerald!” Watching Lyra cry out to his father, Dylan himself said, “Is there a possibility that the sun picture could have prophesied wrongly, dad…? After all, Gerald is much stronger than before. There’s no way such a scenario could take place, right?” Shaking his head, Daryl then replied, “As I’ve said, the picture of the sun never lies. If it predicted that Gerald would die being torn apart, it’ll surely happen sooner or later. S

Daryl then added, “With great masters already existing so few and far between, you may wonder why such a powerful force would and could summon so many of them from all across the globe. Well, you see, nobody would know about the truth behind the event if they didn’t partake in the pledge of the holy water in the first place! Regardless, I told you to stay since there’s a very important clue to all this that I wanted to tell you.” “What is it?” “Well, I know that you’ve constantly been investigating the Sun League. There was a picture that was etched on the stone tablet that was dug up, and I find it to be quite similar to the place that was described on the token of the holy water. I want to study it together with you. Call it a gut feeling, but I feel that it’s closely linked with the pledge of the holy water.” “From what you’ve said, it truly does seem relevant. If one manages to participate in the pledge of the holy water, there’s a chance that the secrets of the Sun League—wh

As both of them continued pondering in the secret room, Dylan suddenly shouted from outside, “Dad!” “What is it, Dylan?” “One of the servants found an ancient-looking box in the manor earlier… Attached to it was a letter with Gerald’s name on it!” said Dylan as he entered the room with the bo. Just as Dylan had said, a letter addressed to Gerald had been placed atop the square box. “Is there any indication of the sender?” asked Daryl. “None that I know of. According to the servant, he found it by accident. Even after enquiring Welson about it, none of his security systems were able to capture any clues!” replied Dylan, his tone slightly anxious. He had reason to feel so. After all, his father belonged to the Soul Palace, and everyone who was part of that secret society was the best among the best! Since someone was actually able to infiltrate their manor—even after Welson and his men had taken charge of the Crawford family’s security—of course he would feel nervous! “…How

When the bright sky erodes the moon? Why would there even be a moon in the middle of a bright day? And why on earth would water flow in the opposite direction? While Gerald found the first two sentences to be extremely peculiar, the last one was relatively easier to grasp. It signified that someone was going to die once the golden flower fell to the ground. “…Could that be referring to me…?” muttered Gerald to himself. “It seems that even the sender’s level of training is difficult to pinpoint. Whoever it is, they seem to thoroughly understand everything… Could there really exist such a powerful person in the world?” added Daryl in disbelief. “…Regardless, what about Gerald, dad? Since this mysterious yet powerful person sent such a note to Gerald, doesn’t that signify that the prophecy of the sun picture is most likely going to come true? What could all of this even mean?” asked Dylan anxiously. “Hmm… Well, aside from the scroll we received, we don’t really have any other
Chapter 1061
A little while later, Gerald was about to board the helicopter when he saw Welson slowly limping toward him. “…Welson?” said Gerald. It was evident that something was wrong with the old man. Even from afar, everyone present could see how dull and gloomy Welson’s eyes were, and he was also walking somewhat zombie-like. It was odd, to say the least. While Gerald frowned, he decided not to make a move for now. Since Dylan was from the same generation as Welson, he called out, “Perfect timing, Welson… Since Gerald’s about to head on a long voyage, I’ll call him over to bid you farewell.” However, Welson didn’t seem to have heard what Dylan said, and he simply continued limping slowly toward them. “…Welson…?” said Dylan. “Back off, Dylan!” shouted Daryl out of the blue, his gaze appearing extremely vigilant. “Welson, are you alright? Did something happen?” asked Daryl, still staring at the old man. The rest of the Crawfords began peeking at Welson as well, curious as to wh

Upon ending his sentence, a gust of wind blew past the old man’s body, sending his plain clothes fluttering in the breeze. “Very well. Just so you know, I’ve long known that you’d leave your seclusion sooner or later. I’ve been looking forward to this match for a long time myself!” replied Daryl with a loud laugh. The others then watched as the two of them slowly began approaching each other… Before leaping into the air! Standing by the side, Gerald watched as both of them displayed equal amounts of strength and skill as they exchanged blows. So this was a fight between great masters… Powerful. Truly powerful…! However, what surprised Gerald even more was the fact that though Christopher only had one arm, he didn’t seem to be fighting at a disadvantage. In fact, even after exchanging over a hundred blows in the blink of an eye, neither of the two old men had gained any sort of advantage over each other. “It would appear that you’ve been suffering in silence throughout the

“The blessings of the dragon?” muttered Christopher as he immediately took a few steps back, his eyelids twitching rapidly. Seeing that the old man was momentarily stunned, Daryl shouted, “Gerald! Leave now!” The pilot himself took the cue to immediately start up the helicopter. While Gerald was extremely reluctant to leave, he was also well aware that his grandfather had used all his strength for his sake. If he remained here any longer, his grandfather’s efforts would all be for naught. With that in mind, he rushed into the helicopter. The moment Christopher attempted to pursue the youth, Daryl immediately clung on tightly to him, preventing the old man from proceeding any further. “You called me cruel earlier, but aren’t you even more so? To think that you’d actually use your blessings of the dragon to take the blow of my mysterious mirror’s power! While I know that I can’t kill you, you’ll still be terribly injured! There are still three more months till the pledge of t
