As the two glints came closer, it was slowly revealed that they were the eyes of a huge white bear!Since Gerald and the others were currently fast asleep, none of them knew how dangerous their current situation was! Regardless, after looking at the five people who had dozed off at the cave’s entrance, the bear seemed particularly interested in Ray. The fact that Ray was snoring only attracted the bear’s attention even more! Slowly moving toward Ray, the bear quickly began licking his face! “…Five more minutes… What is it Gerald…? Has the snow stopped…?” mumbled the sleepy Ray as he began patting the bear’s face… The second he felt how unnaturally furry ‘Gerald’ was, Ray instantly froze. This… This wasn’t Gerald, was it. By the time he opened his eyes, Gerald and the others were already staring vigilantly at the bear. To think that such a dangerous creature would be living in this cave! With how close the bear was, all of them could smell it and even feel the warmth its body

Juno trusted Gerald a lot, which was why she wasn’t against Gerald’s dare-devilish suggestion. What more, if they leaped together, they’d at least die together… Though needless to say, surviving together was definitely still Juno’s main goal. Regardless, after readying themselves, Gerald then looked at Juno before asking, “Ready?” Watching as she nodded firmly, Gerald then hugged her tight… before both of them plunged deep into the valley! Falling faster, and faster, it was only a few seconds later when both of them fell into a body of running water with a massive splash! As they had guessed, there really was a river at the bottom, and thank god they were right. The river saved their lives… Whatever the case was, now that they were still alive, Gerald—who hadn’t let go of Juno this entire time—quickly swam Juno to the river bank… Now soaking wet and freezing—since the river water consisted of freshly melted snow from the mountains—Juno couldn’t help but find herself shive

A few vampires stared closely at Gerald and Juno, making sounds with their mouths incessantly. The two of them had been entirely targeted by the few vampires. During the next second, the few vampires launched an attack at the two of them one after another. They rushed at the two of them by baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Gerald decisively drew out his Astrabyss Sword and made a slash swiftly. Soon a vampire who rushed up to them first was slashed in two by the Astrabyss Sword in Gerald’s hand directly. Blood gushed out everywhere. Witnessing that scene, the other three vampires retreated one after another, not daring to step forward. As their companion was slashed in half, they certainly knew how powerful that Astrabyss Sword in Gerald’s hand was. “Come on! Come at me if you’re not afraid of death!” Gerald stared at the remaining three vampires in front of him and said coldly. The three vampires seemed to understand Gerald’s words. They immediately tur

Realizing that it was only Old Flint, Gerald and Rey breathed a sigh of relief. Old Flint, on the hand, couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he puzzledly asked, “…It’s you two? What are you doing here? And how did you get in?” The chief inspector had already ordered him not to have any contact with Gerald anymore. What more, he had also been told that Gerald wasn’t allowed to help them in the investigation any longer. With that in mind, Old Flint could only obey his superiors. “We’re here looking for clues!” replied Gerald. “Look, I’m sorry, but you two aren’t allowed to get involved with this case anymore. With that in mind, please leave! If you return here again our only option will be to take you back with us!” warned Old Flint. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. Not wanting to make things difficult for the old man, Gerald then replied, “Copy that!” Just as he was about to leave with Rey, however, he heard Old Flint yelling, “Hold on a minute! Did you find any clu

There was no way in hell that those two facts could be coincidences. With that in mind, that could only mean that the Ember Lord was hiding there. However, since the Ember Lord had left that hint for them, it was possible that instead of finding him there, they would instead find the location of his next victim. After thinking about it for a while, Old Flint then started the car and immediately stepped on the gas! They needed to head to Yamilet Fae’s home right now! “Are you really sure that the Ember Lord will be hiding there, Gerald…?” asked Rey on their way there. Shaking his head, Gerald then replied with a serious expression, “To be quite honest, I’m not too sure. After all, the Ember Lord is a meticulous person who never plays by the rules. My guess is that the numbers will lead us to the next victim, but in finding that victim, we’ll surely get one step closer to where the Ember Lord is hiding!” Hearing that, Rey then nodded in understanding… After about forty minute
