Chapter 1261
Even if any of them had personal opinions on the matter, none of them dared to speak a word. After all, while it was true that they would receive no shortage of awards and recognition should they succeed in saving the children, failure to save them would surely result in them being painted as a villain. There was simply no way that any of them were going to willingly become a scapegoat. “…Does nobody have anything to say at all…?” asked Zane, his tone rightfully urgent as he scanned through all the present doctors. Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever he turned to look at any of them. Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to end soon… However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “I have a few ideas.” Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the room immediately t

Jace quickly attempted to persuade the others to calm down before things escalated too quickly. To be quite honest, even he had been surprised to hear Gerald say that someone had drained the babies of their oxyblood. It was a statement he hadn’t heard of before. Even so, he had witnessed Gerald’s skills and abilities before, so Jace trusted that Gerald knew what he was doing. “Hah! See, Dr. Mabb? I already told you that his feat earlier was just a coincidence! He’s not really capable at all! Being so young, what would he know? You’d think he was here to act in some movie after hearing his explanation!” muttered Walbridge unhappily. Though he hadn’t said that in a particularly loud voice, everyone in the conference room could hear what he had just said. It was obvious that Walbridge was jealous of Gerald. After all, he had seen the way Breanna—his long-time crush who was also his junior—looked at Gerald earlier. That was certainly the last straw for him! Infuriated by him, W

“Hah! What do you even mean by that? Fine then. If you successfully cure the illness, then I’ll do anything you order me to!” scoffed Walbridge. From how casually he had made that decision, it was evident that he thought that it was going to be impossible for Gerald to save all those babies who were already near death. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded before heading off to the isolation room together with Jace and the dean. Only three people were allowed to enter this time, and Gerald had a change of clothes before setting foot into the isolation room with the duo from before. By then, all the babies had already stopped crying, and the room was eerily silent. From a glance, Gerald could see that not only were their complexions dark, but their bodies all looked swollen. Even the babies’ lips appeared cracked. Seeing those symptoms and how close those babies were to death, Gerald confirmed that it truly was the effects of the Soul Eater technique! From what he could guess fro

Even Jace found himself tearing up in joy. Their sheer delight had stemmed from the fact that all of the babies were most probably making it out alive now! After carefully examining the babies—just for good measure—both men found themselves clasping their hands together while heaving huge sighs of relief to calm their excitement. How absolutely unbelievable! “Mr. Crawford truly can bring the dead back to life!” cheered both men in immense admiration. Gerald himself simply smiled weakly at their statement. Compliments and admiration didn’t really mean much to him. As long as the babies were healed, that meant that he had managed to successfully achieve his goal. Now that he was done with this issue, his mind immediately wandered to the next concern. Who was the person in charge of committing all these atrocities in Mayberry City? And was that person stronger or weaker than him? Regardless, if he didn’t find them soon, that person could definitely begin harming others! He nee

All it took was a single glance for him to know who she was! Getting out of his car before casually looking at her, Gerald shouted out, “It appears that it truly is inevitable for enemies to cross paths!” The second his sentence ended, however, his expression instantly turned cold as he glared at her while saying, “Regardless, were you the one who used the Soul Eater technique on all those babies?” “What, did you think you were the only one capable of using that technique? Still, it’s a pity that you arrived so early… Otherwise, I could have continued draining more oxyblood from babies tonight in order to bring my training to the next level!” replied the old lady as she slowly got up now that she was done burning what seemed to be paper money! Turning to look at Gerald, there was a firm and determined look in her eyes as she added, “I admit that you truly are powerful, Gerald… Had I not underestimated you at the time, you wouldn’t have been able to take the lives of so many mem

“L-let him go…!” shouted the three kidnapped—and frightened—Smiths before Tiara could land another blow on the now bloodied Gerald. Rita, in particular, was shouting even louder than Mila’s parents. “…Hah! Trash like him isn’t worth my energy to kill! With that in mind… Hey, Chester! That’s your beloved brother, right? Go ahead and kill that brat who doesn’t know what’s best for himself! Worry not about the magnificent lord, for I’ll take full responsibility for everything that's happened here!” ordered Tiara. It was evident by this point that the Smiths’ pleas for mercy did little to impress Tiara. Instead, they seemed to further enrage her! Regardless, the way Tiara had ordered her grandson almost made it seem like she was just talking to some random member of the Holy Witchcraft instead of her actual grandson… On second thought, ‘dog’ would be a better term to describe Chester’s relationship with Tiara now. A very obedient and vicious dog… He barely had any resemblance to the

The light itself was rivaled only by the brightness of an intense spotlight, and it instantly lit the entire area with a blinding flash! Chester himself was hit point-blank by the golden light, and the second it connected with him, Chester suddenly began screaming in pain! Gerald watched wide-eyed as a black glow began seeping out of Chester’s body! Slowly but surely, Chester began losing his strength and power. His vitality rapidly diminished as well, and by the time he stopped screaming, Chester was so weak that from just a single push from Gerald, he ended up falling to the ground, instantly going unconscious! “…Chester…?” called out Gerald as he held onto his still-bleeding wound. No matter how much he called out, however, Chester truly was out cold. At that moment, the pendant suddenly switched the golden light out for flashes of all seven colors of the rainbow! Gerald was naturally surprised by all these changes. The jade pendant was acting really strange today! “…I rea

“Mr. Crawford! You’re finally awake!” shouted Jace who seemed to have been sitting beside him this entire time. Realizing that his wounds had been bandaged, Gerald now knew that Jace had been the one who had stabilized his condition. “I am… Thank you, Dr. Mabb…” replied Gerald as he held onto his wounds. Recalling that he had almost been killed by Tiara and those eight men, Gerald turned to look at the Smiths as he asked, “Aunt Helen… Uncle Smith… Were you the ones who had rescued and brought me here…?” As he awaited their reply, Gerald faintly remembered himself desperately pleading the jade pendant to help him back then. He also recalled the sudden burst of energy that emitted from his body before eventually passing out. Naturally, he had no idea what happened after going unconscious. “That’s right, Gerald… You almost frightened us to death earlier, you know? You sent all nine of them flying into the air in all directions! Sensing the opportunity to escape, we then quickly b
