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

“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

“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

Seeing how intently Gerald was looking at him, Jace then replied, “Well, Master Nacol is currently giving lectures in Mayberry City. If you wish to meet him, I can surely introduce him to you. What more, he just so happens to be an old friend of Mr. Sawyer Wytt!” “Sounds great to me! I’ll be troubling you then, Dr. Mab!” said Gerald with a nod. As soon as his sentence ended, a subordinate suddenly ran into the room, reporting, “Mr. Lyle! Mr. Crawford! We’ve managed to excavate most of the mountain and we’ve located a colorful boulder in there!” “A colorful boulder?” replied Gerald, startled. At that moment, Gerald felt an extremely strong masculine aura pulsing continuously from within his body. “It’s the Zircobsite for sure!” shouted Gerald, feeling overjoyed. He had finally located the stone! “Zack, I need you to immediately instruct your men to block the surrounding areas around Mountain Top. Nobody is allowed to even get close to it!” ordered Gerald. “Right away, Mr.

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
