โSoโฆ Any of you find anythingโฆ?โ asked the person in charge as he looked at them. โUnfortunately, even after all our investigation efforts, Mr. Komura seems to have vanished into thin air! We havenโt even been able to find a single clue!โ replied the leader of the small team. โNot one?!โ replied Komura as he slammed his fist onto the table in his frustration. โZero. Regardless, do you think Adler couldโve simply returned to Yanam last nightโฆ?โ asked another special forces soldier. โNegative. Even if he did receive an urgent mission and had to return to Yanam, the Yanam headquarters wouldโve surely informed us about it first. Him leaving without a word is highly improbable, especially since heโs someone working with the military. Besides, even if he did return to Yanam, why would he leave all his luggage behind?โ replied Mr. Komura. โThenโฆ Could those men from Weston really have killed himโฆ? After all, I remember Adler saying something along the lines of three major families i

Still, if Adler truly was murdered by the men from Westonโor any other special forces soldiers from other powerful countries, for that matterโ, the Japanese Military knew that they were going to be in hot waterโฆ While getting the soldiers to look for their own accommodations would make things slightly messier, at the very least, the Japanese Military would have to take less responsibility if a similar case took placeโฆ Gerald himself could guess why the Japanese military was doing this. With that, after hearing the news, he simply smiled before saying, โGuess the Japanese Military is getting worried.โ โIndeed, though I canโt blame them. After all, Iโm sure the Japanese Military has ever encountered a case like this before. Nobody wouldโve been able to foresee the disappearance of such an outstanding special force soldier,โ replied Master Ghost. โRegardless, letโs focus on finding ourselves a new place to stay first. I doubt safety will be an issue since aside from those from Yan

Nodding in response, Gerald then continued observing the woman who finally completed the check-in procedures shortly after. Following the woman into the elevator, Gerald kept a close eye on her all the way up to the twelfth floor where she eventually stepped out. While he didnโt follow her out, Gerald had a feeling that knowing which floor she was staying on was as good a start as any. After all, Gerald knew better than to converse with her straight off the bat. If he really did end up frightening her, she would surely be unwilling to talk about the Seadom tribe no matter how much he askedโฆ Whatever the case was, Gerald then returned to his roomโฆ Flopping onto the couch, Gerald then began smoking a cigarette as he pondered his next step. Seeing that, Aidenโwho hadnโt heard Gerald and Master Ghostโs conversation earlier since he was busy thinking about the conversationโwas prompted to ask, โWhere exactly did he-โ โJust leave him be for a while. We should focus on getting our
The Secretly Rich Manย ย ย Chapter 2052
โโฆHuh? If thatโs the case, what are we still waiting here for? Letโs go ask her about the Seadom tribe while we can! Whatโll we do if she suddenly runs off?โ asked Aiden in a slightly nervous tone. โCalm yourself,โ replied Gerald as he patted Aidenโs shoulder. He had already expected the boy to get anxious the second he heard about the newsโฆ โWhat do you mean, โcalm myselfโ? This may be our best shot of finding someone from the Seadom tribe! We canโt let her leave! If she does, what are we going to do? Extend our stay in Japan indefinitely?!โ grumbled Aiden as he flopped onto the couch. Watching as Aiden then lit one of his cigarettes and began puffing it, Gerald explained, โFirst off, since sheโs in special forces, itโs evident that sheโs here for the competition. With that in mind, she wonโt be leaving anytime soon. Besides, the hotel has a record of her registration. Regardless, if we head there all willy-nilly, what makes you think we wonโt end up scaring her? Forget calling

In the end, this wasnโt Weston, and he wasnโt some superhero obligated to save the world. With that in mind, Gerald reminded himself that he didnโt need to meddle in their business and land himself in unnecessary troubleโฆ Shortly after he had entered the supermarket, however, Gerald ended up freezing again. Thinking back, his Herculean Primordial Spirit would only react to dangerous fights between cultivators. With that in mind, this wasnโt a normal fight at allโฆ! Realizing that, Gerald then walked to the counter and said, โA pack of cigarettes. And make it snappy.โ After paying for his purchase, he then walked over to where the fight was happening. If there really were cultivators staying nearby, it would do him good to silently assess the situation, with emphasis on the โsilentlyโ. Until he knew who he was dealing with, Gerald preferred remaining hiddenโฆ Whatever the case was, Gerald stuck close to the wall as he made his way down the small, dark alley between the supermarket
The Secretly Rich Manย ย ย Chapter 2054
By this point, Gerald was a hundred percent sure that the woman was someone from the Seadom tribe. With that in mind, he needed to protect her at all costs. While she had no idea why Gerald wanted to help her in the first place, she simply agreed and remained close to his backโฆ โAnswer me! Why are you meddling in our affairs? Which family do you belong to? Are you even Japanese?โ growled the man who was understandably annoyed since he was so close to finishing Futaba Fujiko off just now. Continuing to ignore him, Gerald then turned to look at Fujiko before asking, โDo you want him dead?โ โDonโt kill himโฆ Just get him to leaveโฆโ whispered Fujiko. Nodding in response, Gerald then faced the man againโฆ and with lighting speed, he punched him right in the chest! Unable to even react in time, the man was instantly sent flying a good thirty feet from where he initially stood! After the cloud of dust finally settled, the man slowly got to his feet, clutching his injured chest as he

The second the thought crossed his mind, Gerald quickly ran to the washroom to splash his face with water. While he didnโt really want to undress her, this was a life-or-death situation. It had taken forever for him to find a member of the Seadom tribe, and since she had that special pendant, Gerald had a feeling that she had quite the status in her family as well. With that in mind, if she ended up dying, Gerald knew that the chances of him finding another member of the Seadom tribeโwith her rankโwould surely be close to zeroโฆ After thinking about it, Gerald sighed as he tried to calm himself. This wasnโt the time to be thinking of such earthly desires. With that, he walked out of the bathroom and carefully began undressing herโฆ It was around two hours later when Gerald completely healed her internal injuries with his Herculean Primordial Spirit. With that done, he quickly draped her with a blanket before taking a cold shower to calm himself. Thankfully, it seemed to work. N

โSpeaking of whichโฆ you said that the person who attacked you was an enemy of your family?โ asked Gerald, refusing to turn around in case she hadnโt fully dressed herself yet. โIndeedโฆ His family has consistently been hostile toward mine. I donโt even know how he managed to find out I was staying here, but he did and he immediately attempted to assassinate meโฆโ replied Fujiko as she shook her head. Her family was clearly not expecting the attack either since they hadnโt warned her in advanceโฆ Whatever the case was, upon realizing that Gerald was still facing away, she couldnโt help but laugh before saying, โIโm dressed now, so you can turn aroundโฆโ Hearing that, Gerald gave a sigh of relief as he finally turned to face her againโฆ โSoโฆ you came here to settle some affairs, you saidโฆ Pardon my assumption, but based on what I saw earlier, you seemed to be much stronger than that man who tried to kill me. With that in mind, could you be representing Weston for the competitionโฆ?โ as

Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, โW-what powerโฆ!โ As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, โAttackโฆ!โ And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyโฆ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylโs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! โNoโฆ!โ howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnateโฆ yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing upโฆ Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as everโฆ โDarling, itโs your brotherโs wedding day todayโฆ Shouldnโt we head over earlier? Youโve been dolling yourself up for ages!โ โFine, dadโฆ Though, isnโt Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherโs gone through so many hardsh

โDarylโs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherโs body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!โ โIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordโs efforts, theyโve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?โ explained Finnley. โโฆSo thatโs the truthโฆ Then, howโs Mila?โ asked Gerald. โSheโs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!โ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hearโฆ Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenโt villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the

His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didnโt take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerโฆ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectโs master scoffed, โI know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit wonโt save you this time!โ Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, โโฆWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?โ Laughing in response, the master then said, โOh, youโll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supremeโฆ!โ Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnโt help but frown even more.

โโฆThis formation. It feelsโฆ familiar,โ muttered Sanchez. โSame thought here. I think itโs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!โ replied Gerald. โAh, no wonder it felt so familiarโฆ Though, wasnโt this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?โ asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sectโs other mysterious and bizarre formationsโฆ Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the futureโฆ Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, โI read about it somewhere. Ho

Upon hearing Geraldโs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locatingโฆ and it wasnโt long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witchesโฆ In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, โโฆTheseโฆโ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, โโฆI take it that the herbalist theyโre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?โ โโฆWell, itโs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnโt rightโฆ Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?โ muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. โI really canโt sayโฆ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!โ replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. โโฆIs that the truth?โ โI swear on my life!โ exc

โFlaxen, you bloody traitorโฆ!โ roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, โWhoโฆ Who the hell are you peopleโฆ?!โโYou donโt need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,โ scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.โโฆWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iโll comply so easily?โ growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his handโฆ and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor manโs arms!โIf you want your other limbs intact, donโt make me repeat the question,โ growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,

From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zemanโs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, โSo, they want to ambush some herb ladyโฆ Is she the one weโre looking for?โ Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, โI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!โ Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnโt help but scoff,

There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Darylโs hideoutโฆ Hopefully the Yinblood pelletโthat was now in his handsโwould aid with that effortโฆ As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlโs instructions. After all, heโd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldโs cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underpreparedโฆ Re

Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldnโt help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyโd never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, โYouโre really something else, Geraldโฆ! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the generalโs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!โ โOh, donโt you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iโm sure youโll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youโre already thinking about killing me t
