Momentarily stunned to hear that, Fayth quickly snapped out of it before saying, “…Elaborate.” “As she was heading to Heavenstar Town to get medicinal herbs, she was assaulted by a few men from the Whitehaar Abbey! Had I not stepped in to save her, your sect would’ve surely received a major loss in the form of your chief disciple!” explained Gerald. Eyes widened, Fayth then turned to look at Zianne before asking, “Does he speak the truth?” “He does! The assailants were Johnny and four of his Whitehaar Abbey friends! If you need proof, just have a look at the wounds they inflicted on me! Regardless, it was I who invited Warrior Crawford over to show my appreciation for saving me! Even so, I know I’ve done wrong, so do punish me if you feel the need to!” replied Zianne. Hearing that, Fayth immediately calmed down before walking over to Zianne and helping her up… Turning their backs to Gerald, Fayth then slid Zianne’s clothes off—up till her shoulders—before realizing that there

With the trio now gone, Gerald then walked up to the thin man and helped him up. “T-thank you for saving me, brother…! I, Yale Zachrey, am indebted to you!” said the man. “Don’t worry about it. I just happened to see you getting bullied while passing by, and there was no way I was going to leave without helping! Regardless, if you feel indebted, why don’t you just treat me to breakfast and we’ll call it even?” replied Gerald with a smile as he patted Yale on the back. Though he was momentarily surprised by that simple request, Yale quickly snapped out of it before nodding as he said, “Sure thing! Speaking of which, what should I call you, brother?” “You can just call me Gerald!” “Got it! I’ll be calling you brother Gerald then! Also… You don’t seem to be a local… Where do you hail from, brother Gerald…?” asked Yale who could already tell that Gerald was no ordinary person. After all, aside from his immense strength, Gerald looked rather different from the others in town as we

Hearing that, the scarred man then signaled his subordinates to grab hold of the duo. However, before they were even able to get close to him, Gerald took the initiative to attack! Within seconds, all of them were lying on the ground, unable to even get up! Upon seeing that, the scarred man found himself stunned. To think that Gerald was this powerful! Following that, Gerald glared at the scarred man, prompting him to immediately gulp before moving to the side. He wasn’t about to stop them from leaving after witnessing all that! With that, the two successfully left the casino… Eventually stopping by a riverside, Gerald then grabbed a handful of holy stones before handing them to Yale. “As promised, I’m returning the holy stone I’ve lent! Consider the other stones as a form of appreciation for putting up with me till now!” said Gerald. Staring wide-eyed at all the holy stones Gerald was giving him, Yale quickly knelt before excitedly yelling, “B-brother Gerald! Please allo

It didn’t take long for the scarred man to locate the inn that Gerald and Yale were staying in. Thankfully, upon hearing quite a racket outside their inn, Yale popped his head out of their room’s window… and immediately recognized the scarred man! His face now fully pale in fear, Yale quickly turned to look at Gerald—who was lying on the bed—before whispering, “B-brother Gerald…! It’s the gang from the casino…! They’re here looking for us…! What should we do…?!” Hearing that, Gerald headed to the window to have a look… and he was just in time to see the scarred man rushing into the inn with his men! Frowning slightly, Gerald then turned to look at Yale while ordering, “Come quick!” Just as Yale was wondering what Gerald meant, his eyes went wide when Gerald began climbing out the window! Though Gerald then easily leaped onto the roof—from the windowsill—, Yale was far weaker than him. With that in mind, though Yale eventually managed to get to the windowsill, he simply coul

Gerald himself didn’t move an inch, and simply sipped on his tea. By this point, scenes like this were completely normal to him… Whatever the case was, there appeared to be over a dozen men in black, and all of them looked fully prepared to attack the bodyguards. From what Gerald could tell, the men in black looked quite strong and skilled. With that in mind, he doubted that the bodyguards would be able to take them on… and after a while, it was made apparent that Gerald’s guess was right. With most of the bodyguards either heavily injured or already dead, one of the middle-aged ones turned to glare at the men in black before growling, “Who are you people?! I’ll have you know that I’m Tanner Junas! The head of the Juans’ Bodyguard Institute in Shontell! Daring to even attack the bodyguards of Shontell… Do all of you have a death wish or something?!” “Cut the cr*p and just hand us the holy stones if you want to live!” scoffed what appeared to be the leader of the men in black.
