Chapter 974
Though Gerald was considerably excited, he quickly calmed himself down. While Gerald knew that his family had finally gained some respite after his disappearance so long ago, he was also well aware that he couldn’t just rush reconciling with the Crawfords just yet. His thought process was that once news about the matter got out to the public, then all his effort and hard work in the past few months would go to waste. The foundation that he had so painstakingly established would easily be wiped out by the Moldells once that happened! Understanding that, he knew that he absolutely couldn’t reconcile with his family yet! After glancing at Bea and Lyra one final time, he turned around and instantly left the scene. “You’ve finally arrived, Lyra! I’ve been waiting for you to arrive!” said Heidi excitedly. “You must’ve waited for a long time!” replied Lyra with a subtle smile on her face. Now that Lyra was standing before them, Juliet herself was starting to feel overshadowed up

Gerald himself was well aware of why Heidi hosted the open auction in the first place. Putting it simply, she had made sure to invite as many large and powerful forces that she could in hopes that they would eventually fight each other to the death. That way, once everyone else was battered at the end of the day, the Yowells would be the only ones left standing. In other words, not only would they get lots of money, but they would also be placed at an extremely advantageous position! Of course, Lyra and Bea had no idea about all this and simply assumed that it was an over the top auction. Surprisingly, they had become easy targets for Heidi to drag into this mess due to how mysterious both of them were. “Just why the hell did both of you have to get involved in something so complicated…?” grumbled Gerald. Naturally, he was the one who had been spying on them this entire time. As Gerald looked at the two fresh corpses at his feet, he couldn’t help but worry even more for t

“…You’re not dreaming… I really am here!” replied Gerald with a smile as he wiped the tears off Bea’s face. “Where have you been in the past six months, cousin…? You seem to be much stronger and tanner now… If this really isn’t a dream, then I… I… I don’t know, I’m just so happy to finally be able to see you again!” sobbed Bea. “It’s a long story… I’ll tell you all about it in the future. For now, you just need to know that I’m still perfectly fine!” replied Gerald as he felt his eyes going slightly red. “Speaking of which, how are my parents doing…?” added Gerald. “Well, it isn’t uncommon for aunt to cry all day long these days… Uncle himself seems to look much older than he used to before your disappearance… Both of them simply spend most of their time worrying about you…!” “…I see. And what about my sister?” “She’s… grown to have a very short fuse now… While she used to be very kind to her subordinates, from the day you went missing, she’d occasionally beat them up over

Under the moonlight, Gerald could see the man running faster and faster on the grassy and leaf-covered ground, leaving a trail of rustling noises behind him. The gentle rustling signified how light the man’s steps were, and he honestly looked like he was almost gliding across the grass rather than running over it. While Gerald had to admit that the man in black’s skill was top-notch, there was still a big gap between that man’s and his. ‘You’re still trying to escape…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he let out a tiny sneer. Gerald then kicked a branch off the ground with the tip of his shoe and, with extreme precision, he flicked it with his finger, sending it flying toward the running man as though Gerald had just fired an arrow! It wasn’t long before the branch connected with the man’s back, creating a loud ‘thud’! The impact of the branch was so great that the man in black found himself rolling on the ground several times till he eventually rolled down the mountain slope!
Chapter 978
The girls themselves were sitting beside Juliet as they continued staring at Gerald who hadn’t moved from his corner. “That’s right! Sure, you broke up with that previous guy and that’s honestly fine! However, you really don’t need to make yourself suffer by being with this one! I mean, just look at all the powerful and reputable figures who are here today! You know, I’ve also noticed that several of the handsome men here have already taken interest in you!” “Yeah! So why not take the opportunity to finally get rid of him today so that you can start seeking out your true happiness again!” Listening to her friends trying to persuade her, Juliet herself began thinking about it. Honestly, if her friends had persuaded her on any other day, Juliet knew that her decision to continue on with the fake marriage wouldn’t falter in the least. After all, as the name suggested, the marriage was only for show and Juliet was well aware of that. However, things were different today. After a

“Well, from what I’ve heard, Miss Marjorie seemed to be very interested in Mr. Gerald when Mr. Quinlan and him first came to the university. However, Miss Marjorie instantly had a lot of interest in Mr. Quinlan next, the moment she found out about his background! As a result, she’s been treating Mr. Gerald like a complete stranger since then!” explained Nicole. “Hah! What an evil woman! What’s so good about her anyway?” grumbled Tulip, dissatisfied, Marjorie and Quinlan themselves walked past the group—hand in hand—without greeting Tulip and the others. After all, they were here as guests today instead of being their lecturers. As they continued walking on, Marjorie noticed Gerald who was still sitting in the same corner. When she first found out that Gerald had gotten married to the eldest young lady of the Yowell family some time ago, Marjorie had felt extremely anxious about it. However, she soon calmed herself when she realized that he was only a live-in son-in-law. Shaki

“Could that person be a practitioner of sorcery? Isn’t that a little too evil?” As the people in the crowd continued discussing the situation, the young man simply glanced at everyone below stage as he said, “So, what does everyone else think about my proposal? After all, the best things in the world should naturally belong to the strongest, right?” After all that had happened, several of the big bosses were now too frightened to speak up. While the bosses momentarily remained silent, someone from the crowd said, “…That young man goes by the name of Marco Thunder! He’s from Thunderous Dragon Inc. and just as the rumors had stated, Mr. Thunder truly is an extraordinary person! It’s really no wonder at this point how Thunderous Dragon Inc. managed to dominate so many strong underground forces! How evil!” “…He’s right! Victory should always belong to the strongest! I agree!” shouted one of the bosses after a long silence. One by one, the bosses took turns agreeing to Mr. Thunder

“It turns out to be a master from the Takena family! Perfect! I have been waiting to compete against you on this trip!” Mr. Thunder said as he smiled lightly while standing on stage.As for Ito, he had already walked up onto the stage, and he was bowing slightly in front of Mr. Thunder.A big battle was about to begin.The people in the audience did not make any more noise, and all of them were simply staring quietly at the stage.“Although this Japanese warrior is very powerful, I don’t think that he will be Mr. Thunder’s opponent at all because Mr. Thunder is simply too evil!”“That’s right. But I believe that he will be able to fight at least three rounds against Mr. Thunder. After all, he looks pretty strong and powerful too!”There was a lot of discussion going on amongst the people below the stage.“You can start. Let me see whether the Takena family really has this kind of strength and power, or whether it is merely for show!” Mr. Thunder laughed as he said this, crossing
