The sounds had come from the door smashing into pieces when the guest’s body collided with it! Even after that, the body continued flying until it hit a pillar, resulting in the pillar getting destroyed as well! The guest’s path of destruction only halted once it struck a replica mountain that was located close to yet another destroyed door! By then, his twitching body was all bloody. “…W-what?” muttered everyone in unison. Though they were all smiling earlier, all their expressions were now stiffened. To think that the young man had such ungodly strength! After witnessing that, all the other Minshall family apprentices—who had earlier roared to have Gerald beaten up—took turns retreating to the side. “…M-masters! Combine your forces and get him!” ordered Zoey, her slight fear evident in her voice. She hadn’t anticipated for any of this to happen! Hearing that, the Minshall family’s distinguished guests—who were all sitting at the end of the table—exchanged glances with each

“I-I’ll hand it over…!” shouted the old master, his immense grief evident. However, he really didn’t have much of a choice but to obey. “…Men! Retrieve the map for him!” ordered the old man as he gestured for a few subordinates to do so. Soon enough, they returned with the map, handing it over to Gerald. “Speaking of which, I’ll also be taking the herbs I gave you tonight,” added Gerald. “R-right away…!” replied the old master extremely bitterly. They had only blackmailed three hundred million dollars and the herbs from him… To think that he would retaliate by snatching away everything that the Minshall family owned! While all the other Minshalls were definitely brimming with anger and resentment as well, none of them dared to say a word, choosing instead to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves. Once he obtained the herbs as well, Gerald turned around to leave. However, he had only taken a few steps when a young Minshall apprentice jumped out while shouting, “You b

In a way, her face—at least to Gerald—was a textbook example of an oriental beauty. Shaking the thoughts off, Gerald quickly ran over to her and checked her pulse while asking, “Are you alright?” Getting no response, Gerald deduced that she had fainted from losing too much blood. ‘This wound would’ve been fatal if I hadn’t found you any sooner!’ Gerald thought to himself as he immediately rushed her over to the Yarne family manor. It was early the next morning when Yume Gunter slowly opened her eyes to the lingering scent of medicine. Looking around, she saw that she was in some sort of luxurious room. The moment she tried to sit up, however, she immediately let out a yelp. Someone had dressed her up in pajamas! Her immediate response was warranted since it was natural for women to be particularly sensitive toward being changed by strangers. This was especially so for Yume who was quite traditional-minded. However, she did notice that the person had also bandaged the in

As for Gerald, Wagner had called for him so that both of them could head over to meet Master Ghost in Langvern Church—which was located in Langvern Mountain—as appointed by Wagner the day before. In the past, Gerald hadn’t really believed in so-called ‘masters of fortune-telling’. He simply considered them to be people who were keen on deceiving others. However, from the moment he first found out about the remarkable old beggar in the mural, his views on fortune-telling began changing. Aside from all the mystifying new experiences he had gone through, Gerald also had another reason to believe that Master Ghost was the real deal. After all, Master Ghost had successfully predicted events that would befall Alice, Wagner, and even the Minshall family. Everything that he had said eventually came true. Since Master Ghost had been able to predict that both Wagner and Gerald would eventually meet, Gerald knew that there existed a chance that he would be able to learn about Mila and his

“So tell me, Gerald, why did you come all the way out here? Could it be that you’re hoping to meet Master Ghost to have your love fortune read? They say his predictions are extremely accurate, you know!” said Yasmeen. At that, Gerald simply shook his head. He didn’t really have much to talk to her about, and through his attitude, Gerald hoped that Yasmeen would eventually get the hint and understand that he really didn’t want to continue chatting with her. “I see… Well I certainly did! I hope he predicts nice things about my love life!” replied Yasmeen with a smile. “Come again? Don’t you already have a husband?” said Gerald. Though he didn’t show it, Gerald already knew why Yasmeen was treating him so differently compared to before. After all, he was no longer a ‘poor student’ in her eyes after displaying how rich he was back at the auction. “And who told you that I’m married? Whoever you’re thinking of, that man definitely isn’t my husband! Regardless, since we’ve known e

Out stepped a young man draped in black robes. When the visitors saw him, all of them fell silent. As for the apprentices, they immediately bowed respectfully before shouting in unison, “Senior!” “The distinguished guest that master’s been waiting for has arrived…” said the man as he scanned through the crowd with a smile. “May I know who among you goes by the name of Mr. Gerald Crawford? From Northbay?” added the man. “That would be me!” replied Gerald as he frowned slightly. To think that the mysterious Master Ghost had even predicted that he would come over today to pay him a visit! “Greetings, Mr. Crawford. The master has been waiting for you for the longest time, and he’s already prepared some tea for you. Please, follow me,” said the young priest as he bowed. Astonished, Gerald then replied, “…The longest time? From when exactly had he predicted my arrival…? As far as I know, Wagner only told him yesterday that I was coming over today to pay him a visit! Does Master G

As the copper coins in the nine dragons’ mouths dropped to the floor, they seemed to form a particular shape. Once all of them had fallen, Master Ghost walked over to have a look. After studying their formation for quite a while, he nodded slightly to himself. Seeing that, Gerald then asked, “How is it?” If he was going to be entirely honest, Gerald still couldn’t bring himself to fully believe in the old man’s capabilities. However, if Master Ghost truly was able to locate both Mila and his uncle, then, and only then, would all his doubts would be cleared. “…Well, the reading shows that you have a predestined relationship… As long as you’re able to find this relationship, then you’ll definitely be able to finally locate the people you’ve been looking for! With that in mind, that means that the people you’re hoping to find are still alive!” replied the old man with a smile. Frowning slightly, Gerald then asked, “Then do you know where they currently

“A stone tablet?” “Indeed. An ancient event of some sort had been painted onto it. Even after studying the stone tablet for quite some time, however, Xyion was only able to tell that it had something to do with a burial scene. He wasn’t able to understand the wording on the table at all, and after many years passed, he eventually lost interest in it. As a result, the tablet is now kept as an ancient art piece within my private room!” explained Master Ghost. Another mural…? Whenever Gerald heard about murals now, it always prompted his mind to recall what he had seen inside the ancient tomb. As one would expect, ancient murals were usually filled with historic tales that reflected the people of the time’s social, political, economic, literary, artistic, and technological capabilities. Such murals could end up being vastly different according to the artists’ beliefs, customs, and also their aesthetic concepts. These murals—that were usually drawn as long as rivers—were viewed
