Chapter: Chapter 297
The great spirit of Cone Rock River began to descend towards Gerald, the proximity only making it obvious how tall she was in comparison to the human below her.Gerald was already above six feet tall in height. But before this water spirit, he felt truly small, and this feeling went far beyond the physical aspect. The aura that the great spirit exuded was overwhelmingly mighty.The great river spirit suddenly stopped her steady descent and shifted her stiff but somewhat soft gaze beyond the revolving boundary of the air bubble she had created for Gerald.She was particularly staring at the great serpent and Alice Thorn's spirit.“You two, enough arguing.”Both entities immediately moved closer to the boundary of the revolving water orb, not daring to enter without permission. Instead, they showed their respect from the edge.“Apologies, goddess. We didn't mean to be nuisances!”Both Alice Thorn and the huge snake spoke these words with great reverence in their tone and deep bows. The

Water has started filling up Gerald's lungs at this point and he could no longer hold onto Alice Thorn's corpse.The spirit of the last priestess of Cone Rock River covered her mouth with both hands, glaring briefly at the huge water snake.[Great River Protector, this is your fault! Mr. Arnold cannot die! He came down here, into the unknown, just to keep his promise to ensure that I'm buried next to my parents! Why did you have to make things hard for him? If he dies, I'm gonna haunt your sleep every single second you dare to slumber.]The huge serpent actually bared its fangs at the ghost of Alice Thorn.[How dare you threaten to haunt my dreams?! Little priestess, do you think I wanted to hold on to your corpse for so long?! Preserving it for centuries while waiting for the Great Spirit's command is the only reason I've not tossed or gobbled up your stupid corpse!]Gerald could still hear the two non-human entities arguing with one another as he lost consciousness. He didn't let g

Gerald watched on as the huge serpent and Alice Thorn's spirit argued back and forth like they were old buddies who couldn't stand each other. Also surprising was the little girl's total change in attitude when interacting with the huge snake.He was wondering how to make these two stop arguing when he suddenly felt his throat starting to seriously burn. Then he was reminded where he was and how he had got here in the first place - deep in the abyss of Cone Rock River, breathing in water thanks to the miraculous temporary gill-making fruit that Alice Thorn introduced him to.But there was also the fact that the time limit for the effect of this fruit was limited, of which he should have gotten Alice Thorn's intact corpse out of the gushing river by now. But meeting this great serpent protector of the great river spirit was an unexpected turn of events that took up a lot of time Now, he had run out of it. He needed to get to the surface within a minute. Otherwise, he would suffocate

Gerald was stunned as he stared up at the humongous snake coiled around him, staring down at him with red glowing eyes.[Wait! Y ..You can also …]There was a chuckling sound from the snake that made the surrounding dark water feel like it was vibrating.[You're wondering how I'm able to telepathically communicate with you? Child, I believe you've heard about me from the last priestess. So there's no way you don't know about me. Anything she can do, I, as the great protector of Cone Rock River, can do greater. Conversing with you through the mind is no problem, not when I was able to peek into your conversation with her and you couldn't even detect me.]Basically, the huge serpent was making it clear that it was far more powerful than Alice Thorn's spirit.[Um..Great serpent, how may I address you?]A heavily vibrating chuckling spread through the dark waters, illuminated by her glowing scales.[You've already given me a name, so why bother asking? Hypocritical humans, just get on wi

Gerald was still a bit stunned by everything. His journey to the outskirts of Sole Wood City has truly opened his eyes to a part of the world that was either never spoken seriously about enough or was indulged in terms of entertainment, faction, and not to be taken seriously at all.First, it was his telepathic power, which he still hasn't learned enough about. He was still dealing with the fact that he was able to do something like that, only to unexpectedly find himself in the middle of a tragic history where he could now talk to the lingering spirit of a little girl who tragically passed away centuries ago.And it was due to his telepathy. Somehow, Gerald was able to communicate with the dead, and with his deduction, he's been suspecting that telepathy might not be his only gift.Back to the present,Gerald reached out to carry the corpse of Priestess Alice Thorn in his arms, and he was ready to leave when he felt an immense rumble, the walls shaking and starting to… unravel?Gera

Gerald felt the pull, but it was much gentler this time. He felt himself sink deeper, closer to the dark bottom of the rushing river. Besides, there was also the social fruit he was introduced to back in that treasure cave by Alice Thorn herself. He had taken another bite from one of the sticks he had accumulated before exiting that colorful forest with the chests of antique treasures.Therefore, Gerald was able to breathe underwater, and his vision went blurry either. Seconds turned into minutes as he sank lower into what looked like an abyss.It was dark, silent, and seemingly still for a while. And then, Gerald found himself slowly tuning into the lives that had blended into the environment created in the dark depths of this river.Gerald thought to himself.[Honestly, I'm surprised at how this river feels like the ocean. The aquatic life in this water is surprisingly full, more than I would have ever imagined it to be.]To this, Alice Thorn replied.[This is all thanks to the gr

They rode the merry-go-round, roller coasters, and bumper cars with Mel's daughter, and they looked like the perfect family.They enjoyed the meals after the rides and took a lot of pictures and made a lot of memories; it was as if the day should not have ended because they had so much fun that they all fell asleep on each other while riding home.Noah's personal assistant could not help but laugh at how silly his boss was, and he was relieved that he had finally found someone who could make him happy, but his joy was short-lived when his phone rang and it was Kelly calling.The ringing tone from Noah's phone as a call from Kelly woke them up, and Noah was irritated to see that she was the one who called him and disrupted their sleep, but it was still good because they had arrived at Mel's house and he needed to help her carry her daughter to her bed, so he silenced his phone and assisted Mel i

Chapter: Chapter 555 : The Big Story : Unveiling Deep SecretsGavin received a call on his way to the brunch venue and was hesitant to answer it, but he decided to do so because it could be an urgent call, so he picked up the phone and was surprised to hear a familiar voice, Thomas's."Hello Gavin," Thomas said over the phone to Gavin, pleased to hear his voice after so long."It is me, Thomas, it has been a while; how are you?" Gavin responded to Thomas, pleased to hear a familiar voice after being away from him for so long."I am great, how are you?" Thomas responded to Gavin because he felt better after speaking with him, and he was also relieved to be alive because he knew how dangerous the underground network could be."Great, but I know you did not just call me to exchange pleasantries; what is going on?" Gavin asked Thomas because he was confident that he would not just reach out to him and risk both of their safety unless it was urgent."You know me so well but I have been keeping a secret from you but your father is the reason I have be

Finally, killing Gavin's father would have been a waste.The next task was to obtain Gavin's fingerprint and eye scan without making him suspicious.
