Chapter 1346
The second Hiro got close enough to Gerald, however, Gerald simply raised his arm and slapped Hiro’s face with the back of his hand. While Gerald hadn’t really used that much force—simply making use of the inertia from raising his arm to hit Hiro— Hiro ended up spinning twice in the air before finally landing atop a coffee table that, in turn, smashed into pieces! With his cheek now extremely swollen as he spat out several broken teeth, by the time he realized what had just happened, Hiro was beyond shocked and dumbfounded. This person had been this strong this entire time?! Hiro couldn’t even resist that sudden and strenuous blow in the least! How was that even possible?! By this point, Titus was so shocked that he could only gulp in horror as he took a step back. Even Rosie found her eyelids twitching slightly. Gerald’s skill was now apparent, and it well-exceeded her expectations. “…D-do you have any idea who I am? I’m the boss of the Caffin Group!” yelled Titus as soon as
Chapter 1347
Nobody would’ve believed Gerald’s statement had they not heard him say it with their very own ears. Even so, while Rosie had undoubtedly heard his proposal very clearly this time—and was also aware that the special cheque was the real deal—she still had a nagging feeling that Gerald was simply bragging. While she had no idea how he had even managed to obtain that cheque, Rosie truly wondered if he would really be willing to just hand the money over if she wrote down five billion dollars on the cheque, an amount that Rosie couldn’t possibly even dare to raise any further! Titus himself was too dumbfounded to even close his mouth now! “It’s been two minutes. Have you already thought everything out? If you have, then go ahead and fill in whatever figures you like on the cheque,” added Gerald with a subtle smile. “…You’re the one who’s suggesting this, alright? I can truly write whatever amount I wish for on this cheque, correct? No take-backs?” grumbled Rosie in her annoyance.
Chapter 1348
What more, for a person to so casually hand a blank cheque to someone and tell them to just write however much they wanted… How wealthy was he even to be able to just say something like that?! Understanding that he had almost offended this powerful figure earlier, Titus now truly felt like dying. Regardless, though Gerald simply chose to ignore Titus as his hand grasped the doorknob, he suddenly heard another person—from behind him—calling out, “Brother!” It was Hiro, and the injured man—who had finally managed to struggle to his feet—flopped onto the sofa before adding, “I… I was using my full strength against you earlier, thinking that you’d never be able to withstand my blow… But you were simply too powerful just now…! Tell me, brother, how much strength did you actually use on me earlier…?” Turning back to casually look at Hiro, Gerald simply replied, “Strength…? I barely used any at all! Truth be told, it was just a simple wave of my hand!” “…What?!” exclaimed the stunn
Chapter 1349
“…Who is he…?” asked Yume, her eyes turning serious. From the moment she had first met him, Yume could already tell that Gerald was no ordinary person. While it was true that Gerald was the heir of the wealthiest and most influential family on the planet, her grandmother still wouldn’t have needed to devise so many tactics and traps just to capture him if he was merely a regular person. Hell, her grandmother even ended up colluding with the Judgment Portal just to deal with Gerald! All this begged a question. Though it was true that Gerald’s current training far exceeded that of his peers, Yreth could most probably deal with him easily. In other words, there really wasn’t a need for those from the Judgment Portal—who were even stronger compared to Yume’s family—to collude with the Gunters just to deal with Gerald. After all, what need was there to join forces if both parties were clearly capable enough to capture him on their own? With that in mind, it was no wonder why Yreth’s w

“…Is she really that important…? Even Gerald is still looking for her… Honestly, had you not misled him with the Dead Annies back then, he would’ve already succeeded in finding her by this point!” said Yume rather curiously. “Well of course he’s still looking for her! After all, this woman in white is one of Gerald’s women!” replied Yreth as she squinted her eyes. “…She’s… Gerald’s what? But… She’s already been in that coffin for at least tens of thousands of years, hasn’t she?” asked Yume, shaking her head in disbelief. “Well, to be more specific, her name is Zyla Lockland, and she was Gerald’s woman in his past life! Regardless, stop interrupting me and let me elaborate before you ask any more questions! You’ll understand everything once I’m done explaining!” replied Yreth as she rested her arms behind her back before starting to pace back and forth as she slowly told Yume the entire story… With her ears perked, Yume listened as Yreth said, “While I’m sure you already know th
Chapter 1351
With that in mind, Yume suddenly found herself growing extremely envious of the woman that Gerald had fallen for. Shaking the thought off, she then asked. “…So… You retrieved the woman in white just so Gerald would take the initiative to come look for us…?” “Indeed. After all, that is by far the safest way to lure Gerald to us! With any luck, we’ll eventually be able to capture him! Regardless, I truly hadn’t expected that he would actually manage to flee from us so many times! I was already prepared to receive good news from Felton ages ago, but to think that he was successful in escaping again!” “…Say, grandma… The Herculean Primordial Spirit… Is it hidden within his body…? Does that mean that once you capture him, you’ll have to harm or kill Gerald…?” asked Yume. Shaking her head slightly, Yreth then replied, “As you’ve said, we only require the Herculean Primordial Spirit. Whether we kill him or not depends entirely on him!” The second she heard that, Yume instantly knelt w

“With that in mind, I hope you now understand what I’ve constantly been worrying about! His rapid progression in strength is a clear warning that action must be taken!” added Yreth, a solemn expression on her face. Hearing that, Yume—whose mouth had been gaping wide for a while in her dumbfounded state—could only nod her head in agreement. After being granted all this knowledge, Yume truly felt like the door to a whole new world had just been opened to her. After a brief silence, she then asked, “Then… What are the origins of our family, grandma…? Aside from that, I’m also curious about the great masters that managed to escape the great civilization of antiquity… Where did they end up running off to…?” “Oh, they escaped all over the place! While some of those great masters remained here on earth, most of them chose to escape to someplace known as Jaellatra instead. After all, there are enough holy spirits there to relatively sufficiently sustain them!” “…Jaellatra? Where is it?
Chapter 1353
“Worry not, as long as you help me capture Gerald, I’ll definitely gain the ability to shuttle back and forth between earth and Jaellatra. With that, I’ll surely be able to turn your family into the most powerful force there without any issues! Besides, you already know about my background, don’t you? Hahaha! To think that Gerald would accidentally release me back then… This is surely god’s reward to me for remaining locked up for thousands of years!” Turning around, Yreth looked at the piece of jade—that had previously been placed upright near the incense stand—as a black glow emanated from it. Not long after, the black glow began momentarily swirling in the air before finally forming the silhouette of a phantom-like humanoid! Upon closer inspection, the phantom appeared to be a young man who had a hooked nose, and a pair of upward-slanting brows that laid above eyes that occasionally glinted evilly. Who would’ve imagined that this phantom-like humanoid—who had supposedly already
