“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

Rushing to the door, the second Seth opened it, he was instantly greeted by the tip of a pistol being pointed at his forehead! Upon recovering from his shock, he slowly backed off as several guards—dressed in suits—quickly began exiting the house together with Suri as well as Seth’s grandfather, both of them held at gunpoint. “Nobody moves or I’ll shoot!” yelled a middle-aged man—who seemed to be the leader of the group—as over a dozen more armed bodyguards rushed out from the woodshed behind the house. Currently, everyone—who wasn’t a guard—had at least a few guns aimed at them, though Gerald was by far the one being targeted the most. Following that, the middle-aged man excitedly said, “For you to predict that Gerald would be here, you truly have incredible foresight, eldest young lady! We’ve truly made a great achievement this time!” At that moment, a young woman and man—who looked rather handsome—walked out and stood side by side, smiling coldly as they looked at the scen

“…How… is any of this even possible…?” muttered the flabbergasted Fernando under his breath. “I’ve already told you that those guns were nothing but toys to me. As for your guards, they only have as much presence as rag dolls! You truly shouldn’t have acted that rashly you know? Hurting my friend… You truly are courting death, aren’t you?” replied Gerald with a subtle smile. “…I… I don’t believe that you’re that almighty! Men! Let’s kill him together!” ordered Fernando while gritting his teeth in resentment. ‘We’re of the same age… How could he be so much more powerful than me…?!’ By that point, all of the guards were already greatly aware of how dangerous their current situation was. What they were currently feeling was akin to them falling into a frigid cave with no way out. With nerve-wracking chills running down their spines, the guards knew that death could greet them at any second. However, they weren’t willing to just go out like this! Wanting to live to see another da

‘Back then, Gerald could hardly withstand a single blow from me… It isn’t even a stretch to say that he was nothing more than a puppet to me just a few days ago! Even so, to think that he’s become such an exceptional person in his short absence… I hate to admit it, but at his current strength, he isn’t too far off from what I’m capable of… No wonder he’s been so confident…!’ Queena thought to herself. ‘While it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to defeat him at his current strength, capturing and controlling him will be near-impossible now! After all, from what I can tell, he can easily evade me now, and extremely easily too!’ Watching as Queena continued pondering the situation, Gerald simply glared at her before saying, “While I’m incapable of killing you at the moment, I’ll have you know that capturing me won’t be an easy feat!” “…You… What did you say…? You wish to kill me…?” replied Queena in disbelief. ‘I’ve loved you for tens of thousands of years…! Tell me, are there an

“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a seductive smile. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at her with a faint smile. Naturally, he wasn’t about to tell her that he was going to save the woman in white at midnight. However, he was also well aware that if he wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his efforts while he was summoning the woman in white’s soul… It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly remember where the snake cave is…?” The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along since Gerald invited her to—and Gerald himself. “Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still need to gather my bearings a bit bette
