Gerald was in awe of what he was seeing. This wasn't normal by any means. These older women were dancing in the dining river with only their lower halves in the water, and yet, they weren't drowning but were, in fact, walking beneath such a torrent

Meanwhile, the seven-year-old Alice was above the water, her eyes closed and her hands gracefully raised towards the sky.

Gerald was enthralled by the scene unfolding before his eyes. As the chants and dancing got louder, a wisp of energy filled the entire area, and it was like the world itself, composed of both living and nonliving entities, came to life that night.

The droplets of water in the air froze for a moment, as if time had stilled, and these droplets began to glow.

It was at that moment that chanting and dancing from the older women came to a still, then started with a slow rhythm. Now, it wasn't just their voices that Gerald could hear. He could hear other female voices around the river and even into the forest.

    Richard was about to walk over when Kevin grabbed his arms, whispering to him.“I don't think that's a good idea.”Richard raised an eyebrow, sending something.g s wrong from his partner's tone.“What's wrong?”Gerald walked over before Kevin could say something.“Because I don't think that's caked mud. I think we're actually looking at very still muddy waters.”Richard was momentarily confused as Kevin picked up a stone and actually threw it forward. There was a plop and a splash that confirmed exactly what was being said here. This mud was not something they could walk on. They would have to swim through it.But then, they suddenly heard something rumble beneath the muddy water, vans underneath the dim lighting, and they actually saw a huge body swimming across the surface of the muddy water, moving in a zigzag formation.And then, the largest mouth that they've ever seen rose from the bottom of the muddy water with its mouth wide open, snapping in the direction of the rock that Ke

    After resting up a bit, Gerald and his two subordinates had set up to check out the cave behind the waterfall. Before leaving though, they talked about how to carefully excavate that cave. Richard and Kevin had to show their young master the extent of their healing injuries, from when they were washed away in the river for so many hours.Although both Kevin and Richard had extraordinary physiques that were cultivated at the Arnold family's Prime Estate's barracks all their lives, joined through advanced supplements, experiments, and intense training, they were still mortals at the end of the day.Although, it should be noted that the outfit they have on was still in perfect condition, made at the labs of Warm-Glo Futures Tech to withstand my amount of wear and tear, subjected to the harshest conditions.Also, those outfits had healing properties brought in by the programmed nanotech booths placed inside a compartment of the special outfit they had on. Immediately, Kevin and Richard

    The second he felt the pairs of hands grab him by the shoulders and knees, he felt his body give into the darkness once again, and he passed out. By the time he woke up, it was now morning, and he got up into a sitting position to feel a slight headache. Looking around, he found that he was in a tent.Richard walked into the tent with a wide smile, relief escaping his mouth.“Finally, Young Master Gerald, you're awake! You really cared the shit out of us.”Outside the tent, they could hear footsteps rushing over.“The young master is awake?!”Kevin poked his head into the tent as well, smiling from ear to ear once he could see his young master looking well “Young Master, how are you feeling?!”Gerald noticed this tent was smaller than the one he had on before.“I feel much better, thank you.”Then his stomach growled suddenly, begging for food. He looked up at the two lead subordinates with a shy smile.“Please, tell me you guys managed to cook something?”Kevin and Richard glance

    Gerald allowed the silence and darkness to absorb him for a moment, acting as a safety cocoon where he could allow himself to digest what he had just witnessed. Alice suffered on the last day she lived on this earth. The people of this village suffered on the last day of their lives. The village was wiped out after that, the forests cleared, and the river owned by corporate standings, but they couldn't stay on the very land where the village had existed before.Gerald turned to Alice, finding that her bangs were now covering her eyes, shielding her emotions from his gaze.“Tell me, how are you feeling, Alice?”Alicia gasped lightly at this question before giggling.“You're being silly again. You're the one seeing what had happened to me and my village just now. I should be asking you how you're feeling, not the other way around.”Gerald did not miss a breath as he shook his head and faced her.“While it is true that there should be concerns for a first-time watcher like me, and that

    The little girl frowned slightly, shaking her head.“That's it?! You're just gonna jump straight to our deal without formally introducing yourself?”She folded her arms over her chest, with a pout and a cute frown.“That’s rude! You're rude!”Immediately, this little girl conveyed her dissatisfaction with Gerald not formally introducing himself, and the dark space that seemed to stretch endlessly into oblivion began shaking tremendously, as the dark world he's enveloped in was answering to the little girl's emotion.Gerald took a step back, hands raised as he glanced around the empty space.“Huh, little girl, are you doing this by any chance?”The little girl gave no reply, just harrumphing at Gerald while still folding her arms over her chest.Gerald realized that he still hadn't done what the little girl wanted. Therefore, he took a step back towards her and slowly placed out a hand towards her.“Hello, little miss. I'm Gerald Stark. It's nice to meet you…”The little girl immediat
