‘S-she’s so strong…!’ Gerald thought to himself. He only needed to experience her inner force once to know that her current force was already immensely different compared to the other forces he had previously come into contact with. If he had to make a comparison between his force and hers, it was like comparing dirty water in a stagnant pool to pure and distilled water. With a difference that large, there was absolutely no doubt who held more power here. Gerald watched as Jasmine’s face flushed as Queena slowly intensified the grip of her force. Jasmine was going to die any second now if Queena truly wanted to end her! “Stop!” shouted Gerald as he quickly began running toward her again. “Worry not, I won’t kill her like this… After all, I can see that you care for her a lot! Anyway, I’ll be taking her with me until I get your answer!” replied Queena as she gently touched Jasmine’s body… The moment she did so, Jasmine instantly blacked out! As Queena exited the manor, bot
Up till that point, nobody had ever seen Queena behaving like that. However, due to how commanding her tone was, everyone couldn’t help but obey her every word. Her imposingness was simply too powerful! Regardless, after being told that they had arrived, Queena simply stepped out of the car and began walking into the manor. Inside the manor itself, a minor familial commotion seemed to be taking place... Aside from the fact that several Yonwicks were currently standing together, Freya herself was currently walking to and fro, looking quite anxious. The issue stemmed from the fact that she had initially planned to rush to the airport to pick a friend up. However, she soon realized that Queena had taken all the family’s cars out together with her! ‘D*mn it all!’ Freya cursed in her mind. Queena was just her third uncle’s daughter, which meant that she didn’t have a high status! To think that she would actually be daring enough to take the team of cars out, even though Freya wa
“…You… don’t know what love is…? …So that’s why you go to such extremes when dealing with things! …Look, I’ll have you know that fame and wealth are only able to give people the illusion of happiness… No matter how much of them you gain, you won’t ever truly be happy without knowing what love is! After all, with an empty heart, you won’t be able to hold on to anything dear… No amount of fame or wealth can fill that gap, and you’ll just continue suffering till the day you die unless you come to understand that!” explained Jasmine. While she didn’t know who the woman in front of her was yet, that wasn’t really the crucial thing now. The important thing was that though the woman was extremely powerful, she had a fatal weakness. She appeared to have been deeply hurt by love. Queena herself couldn’t help but stare at Jasmine in amazement after hearing all that. While Queena had initially planned to kill Jasmine after inflicting immense fear into the girl—to the point of forming an utt
“...Could… you be Chloe…?” asked Gerald in a careful tone. After hearing how she had lost everything and completely changed after being betrayed by her friends and family, Jasmine now felt that Queena was more pitiful than anything. “...That’s not important. Regardless, know that I won’t stop until I get my hands on him, and I will get what I want!” declared Queena as she clenched her fists tightly. “...But… What does all this have to do with Gerald…?” asked Jasmine rather curiously. “You wouldn’t understand even if I explained everything to you… Do know that I’m only telling you a summarized version of this story. After all, I’m well aware that you’re a smart girl! I’m not going to tell you everything in detail just so you can find my weaknesses!” sneered Queena.“...Are you always this defensive with everyone around you…? Were you like this with him as well…?” asked Jasmine. “Indeed, I was! It… It was the reason why he began distancing himself from me in the first place! H
“I have no reason to lie to you! All that I’ve said is true! I’m truly not the person you’ve been looking for!” said Gerald, looking at her straight in the eye. Based on her reaction, he no longer had any doubts about what was going on. The person he had saved was definitely not the woman in white. As for the real woman in white, she could very possibly still be within the king of the ocean’s palace. With these new revelations, Gerald felt it would be wiser not to mention where Zeus’s whereabouts was. He would keep that a secret until he found the real woman in white. “I don’t care! I’m never going to believe you! Regardless, I’ve told you that we’re getting married tomorrow! Do you already have your answer?” asked Queena as her gaze momentarily softened as she looked at him. “Marriage isn’t a game, and it’s not like there’s any love between us in the first place… With that in mind, how could we get married?” replied Gerald with a bitter smile. “It’s definitely no game, I agr
After all, Zeus seemed to be somewhat related to him, and Jasmine was still being held captive by her. Regardless, once he got back to the Montholm Island manor, he was immediately greeted by the sight of a group of people surrounding the manor. Everyone was dressed in odd-looking costumes, and there were hundreds of them blocking the manor’s entrance. However, what caught Gerald’s attention most was a few of his bodyguards lying on the ground. “Young master! You’ve returned!” shouted several of his bodyguards—who were still conscious—excitedly the moment they saw him. Realizing that he was now present, Joshua and Lord Fenderson immediately began walking toward him. Once they were before him, Bryson immediately explained, “These are all members of the Holy Witchcraft, Gerald! The master of the Holy Witchcraft has personally come over today to meet you!” Hearing that, Gerald immediately knew what they were here for! “So you’re Gerald?” asked an old woman as she stepped for
Seconds before Hendrik was able to land his skull-crushing punch on Gerald—who was already prepared to die at this point—a shout made him stop his attack half-way. Of course, the person who had shouted was none other than Chester. “Grandma, Second Lord! Please don’t kill master! This has nothing to do with him!” said Chester as he fell to his knees. “You’re calling him master? How absolutely ridiculous! You’re the master of the Holy Witchcraft! Why on earth would you call this wealthy spoilt brat your master? If news gets out about this, then our clan’s prestigious name will surely be destroyed by you!” replied Tiara as the corner of her lips twitched. She, for one, was a person who cared a lot about prestige. To her, a man dying was nothing special if it was to maintain the Holy Witchcraft’s status! “It was my personal decision to be by master’s side! I’ve never wanted to be the young master of the Holy Witchcraft in the first place! All I’ve ever wanted was to live normal
The roar had come from Gerald whose eyes were now bloodshot as he stared at all the blood currently gushing out of Chester’s mouth. As Joshua and Lord Fenderson immediately rushed over, the trembling Chester stuttered, “M-master… it… it hurts…!” Covering the injured parts of Chester’s head with his hand, Gerald attempted to force his powers out to save him while shouting, “You’ll be fine! Stay with me!” “I-it’s… too late… Y-you know, master… I… I think I can finally see Lola…! After so many years, she still looks like an eight-year-old child… And… her smile… her laughter… they’re as pretty as ever…!” replied Chester, his voice slowly weakening as more blood spilled out from his mouth. “I… can see it now… She’s rowing a boat… She’s telling me that we’re going… to see the sunset together… We… We’re finally going to be reunited again… How great…!” added the dying Chester, his trembling slowly getting weaker and weaker… “I… miss you so much… Lola…” That was the last thing Chest
