“Yes… If possible, I’d like you to pass on this message—along with my business card—on my behalf to those from the Royal Dragon Group… ‘The Takena family would love to have the opportunity to meet up and have a meal with Crawford-san from the Royal Dragon Group. Do you accept?’ I do hope that you’ll convey this message to them for me!” explained Meiko as she bowed once more while holding out her business card. After taking it from her, Gerald looked at her card while thinking about how remarkable and well-educated this demure lady was. However, Gerald was well aware that this probably had to do with how strict Japanese culture was. Regardless, he still believed that as an individual, Meiko was no simple person. The fact that he didn’t know what kind of family the Takenas were only served to increase his suspicions. After thinking about it for a moment, Gerald nodded before replying, “Alright, I’ll pass the message to them for you, Miss Meiko. Enjoy your stay!” With that, Gera

Gerald himself was well aware of why Heidi hosted the open auction in the first place. Putting it simply, she had made sure to invite as many large and powerful forces that she could in hopes that they would eventually fight each other to the death. That way, once everyone else was battered at the end of the day, the Yowells would be the only ones left standing. In other words, not only would they get lots of money, but they would also be placed at an extremely advantageous position! Of course, Lyra and Bea had no idea about all this and simply assumed that it was an over the top auction. Surprisingly, they had become easy targets for Heidi to drag into this mess due to how mysterious both of them were. “Just why the hell did both of you have to get involved in something so complicated…?” grumbled Gerald. Naturally, he was the one who had been spying on them this entire time. As Gerald looked at the two fresh corpses at his feet, he couldn’t help but worry even more for t

Under the moonlight, Gerald could see the man running faster and faster on the grassy and leaf-covered ground, leaving a trail of rustling noises behind him. The gentle rustling signified how light the man’s steps were, and he honestly looked like he was almost gliding across the grass rather than running over it. While Gerald had to admit that the man in black’s skill was top-notch, there was still a big gap between that man’s and his. ‘You’re still trying to escape…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he let out a tiny sneer. Gerald then kicked a branch off the ground with the tip of his shoe and, with extreme precision, he flicked it with his finger, sending it flying toward the running man as though Gerald had just fired an arrow! It wasn’t long before the branch connected with the man’s back, creating a loud ‘thud’! The impact of the branch was so great that the man in black found himself rolling on the ground several times till he eventually rolled down the mountain slope!

“Well, from what I’ve heard, Miss Marjorie seemed to be very interested in Mr. Gerald when Mr. Quinlan and him first came to the university. However, Miss Marjorie instantly had a lot of interest in Mr. Quinlan next, the moment she found out about his background! As a result, she’s been treating Mr. Gerald like a complete stranger since then!” explained Nicole. “Hah! What an evil woman! What’s so good about her anyway?” grumbled Tulip, dissatisfied, Marjorie and Quinlan themselves walked past the group—hand in hand—without greeting Tulip and the others. After all, they were here as guests today instead of being their lecturers. As they continued walking on, Marjorie noticed Gerald who was still sitting in the same corner. When she first found out that Gerald had gotten married to the eldest young lady of the Yowell family some time ago, Marjorie had felt extremely anxious about it. However, she soon calmed herself when she realized that he was only a live-in son-in-law. Shaki

“It turns out to be a master from the Takena family! Perfect! I have been waiting to compete against you on this trip!” Mr. Thunder said as he smiled lightly while standing on stage.As for Ito, he had already walked up onto the stage, and he was bowing slightly in front of Mr. Thunder.A big battle was about to begin.The people in the audience did not make any more noise, and all of them were simply staring quietly at the stage.“Although this Japanese warrior is very powerful, I don’t think that he will be Mr. Thunder’s opponent at all because Mr. Thunder is simply too evil!”“That’s right. But I believe that he will be able to fight at least three rounds against Mr. Thunder. After all, he looks pretty strong and powerful too!”There was a lot of discussion going on amongst the people below the stage.“You can start. Let me see whether the Takena family really has this kind of strength and power, or whether it is merely for show!” Mr. Thunder laughed as he said this, crossing
