Gerald found himself subconsciously taking a step back from the immobile person who was sitting at the corner of the cave. After a brief moment, however, Gerald realized that the person didn’t seem like he was going to make a move at all. Upon closer inspection, Gerald found himself heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that the person’s eyes were peacefully closed. Anyone would’ve been shocked to see a living man seated within a mountain all by himself! Carefully approaching the figure—who had his legs crossed—Gerald saw that it was a white-haired old man who had a robe on. His eyes closed and his complexion ruddy, the old man gave off the impression that he was a monk that was concentrating on his mediation. Heading closer to check whether the old man was breathing, he quickly realized that that wasn’t the case! With that knowledge in mind, Gerald then continued getting closer to the old man to further inspect the body. However, the second he got within arms-reach of the perso
Due to Gerald having such a powerful weapon on him, the nine people had momentarily fled for fear that Gerald would end up killing them instead. It was only after they made their escape that they recalled that Gerald wasn’t able to properly control the jade pendant’s power yet. As all nine of them slowly recovered their strength, they each thought about thieving the pendant off Gerald before taking him away. With their mind made up, all of them began making their way toward Mountain Top the moment their strength fully recovered. However, both parties truly hadn’t expected to bump into each other on their way there. Being enemies, they naturally fought and bickered the entire way there. “How unlucky we are to meet you again! Regardless, we’ll certainly be the ones who’ll end up getting our hands on both Gerald and that jade pendant!” After continuing to bicker for quite a while, all nine of them swiftly made it past the restricted area on Mountain Top. Several of the bodygua
Whatever the case was, Chester didn’t care anymore. As his last resort, he raised his arm to attempt to counterattack Tiara’s finishing blow! “You’re overestimating your abilities too much, boy!” sneered Tiara as she instantly began doubling the power of her blow! She was determined to cut off all the meridians in Chester’s body once and for all! As both their fists met, an explosive sound was heard! While Chester barely moved an inch from the impact, it was a whole other story for Tiara. The old woman instantly found herself flying backward, breaking dozens of thick-trunked trees as her body collided into them! It was as though she had just been struck by a powerful tornado, and the impact of all those collisions made her body feel like it was falling apart! After leaving a trail of blood on the ground—that she spurted from all the damage she had sustained—she finally lost enough momentum for a tree to stop her from going any further! By that point, all four of her limbs w
“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…!” pleased the man as he crawled back up and turned around before kneeling in front of Gerald, trembling in utter fear. To think that Gerald now felt like an entirely different person after only a three-day gap since they last met! He was simply too strong! Regardless, the man was wise and he knew better than to continue fighting when the odds were clearly against him. Escape was the only option if he wanted to make it out alive! “I-if you spare my life, I’ll share a big secret with you, Mr. Crawford!” said the man rather tentatively as he took in a deep breath. Gerald, however, simply raised his foot and stepped on the man’s head. Gulping, the man then added, “I-I’ll tell you everything I know as long as you promise to spare my life…!” Just as the man was about to attempt to retrieve a hidden weapon from his sleeve, Gerald simply replied, “Sorry, not interested.” Following that, he suddenly amplified the force of his foot, causing a
Turning around to see who it was, Gerald was surprised to see Naomi there. Thinking back, he hadn’t seen her in days. “What are you doing here, Naomi?” asked Gerald. “Well, Master Nacol is giving a lecture today and I’m responsible for leading the most outstanding students in our grade to participate in it! And what about you? Could it be that you’re interested in such lectures as well?” replied Naomi as she looked at Gerald with a smile. Meeting Gerald was always a pleasant surprise for Naomi. In fact, whenever she had sleepless nights, Naomi always felt like calling Gerald up to see what he was up to and ask how he had been doing lately. She wasn’t really all that up-to-date with him. After all, Naomi had been actively trying to avoid him since she didn’t want to end up falling for Gerald. Gerald himself was aware of Naomi’s feelings for him. Despite knowing that, Naomi was also well aware that Gerald was completely loyal to Mila. Nothing could get in his way of finding her
“I-I didn’t mean to…!” replied the male student who was still feeling the sting of the slap. Naturally, the loud woman had gathered the attention of several people, and the student immediately felt extremely humiliated with so many people now staring at him. The student was smart enough to tell that he couldn’t afford to provoke them either. After all, both of them looked extremely wealthy. With that in mind, he could only continue stuttering in embarrassment. “‘You didn’t mean to’?! Well of course you didn’t, but my wife is still drenched in wine, isn’t she?! Unless you’re telling me that you planned for all this!” roared the woman’s husband as he instantly kicked the boy in the stomach! Even from a glance, everyone could tell that her husband wasn’t someone that they should ever provoke. With that in mind, everyone could only look at the boy sorrowfully as he burst into tears after being kicked quite a distance away. “Humph! I’ll have you know that this dress cost over ten
“You…!” Xeila was now so enraged that she felt as though she could explode in anger at any second! What an unreasonable person! Making sure to give warning glares at both Gerald and Naomi, she then hurried over to the middle-aged man’s side while shouting, “Husband! Husband, are you alright?!” Though his mouth was all bloodied, Zadie was still conscious since Gerald hadn’t really used that much strength to slap him. Regardless, the man was now seething in rage as he viciously roared, “Call Chairman Harell over, right this instant! And don’t let that kid escape! I’m killing him if it’s the last thing I do!” Hearing that, Xeila instantly began making a phone call. As she did that, those from the crowd were already whispering among themselves. “Say, the one who got beaten up… He’s Mr. Lavington, right? Mr. Lavington from Dakota Real Estate Inc.?” “Indeed. Everyone knows how ruthless Mr. Lavington is. Not only does he engage in real estate development, but he’s also Chairman Ha
Huxley was now crying even harder than ever, utterly terrified about his and his family’s fate. His family wasn’t all that well-to-do in the first place, and he knew for a fact that it wasn’t easy for his parents to work hard and support the family. Yet here Chairman Harell was! Ordering for his parents to come over and kneel before Mr. Lavington! The boy could only tremble in fear as feelings of powerlessness swept through him. “Leave? You honestly think you can leave that easily? I’ll have you know that the conference is about to begin soon, so you’d best not continue wasting my time. Also, you have to call all the leaders from your school as well as all your family members over immediately. Daring to hurt my cousin… You’re giving me a proper explanation for all this if you ever hope to leave!” sneered Dixon who was extremely thorough when it came to things like these. The other students were so frightened that none of them even dared to breathe too loudly. This has turned into a
