Karen and the others were beyond shocked when they heard the name being shouted out. What was going on? Why did they address Gerald as Mr. Crawford? Were those helicopters really here to pick Gerald up? All of them had pained expressions on their faces, and this was especially so for the girls in the group. The pain they felt was excruciating. After all, all three of them had constantly looked down on Gerald. They just couldnât believe that he was actually such a powerful person! âImpossible⊠How is any of this possible?!â said Lucille. Gerald didnât even bother looking at them. He was already prepared to leave. âGerald!â shouted Lucille, desperation in her voice. âYes?â replied Gerald as he turned to face her. âYou⊠These helicopters⊠They came to pick you up?â asked Lucille in a nervous tone. âYep!â said Gerald while nodding slightly. He then glanced at Sherry and Karen but he didnât say anything else. Slipping his hands into his pockets, he finally walked toward th
âWoah!â While Melissa had been afraid at first, she was shocked out of her fear when she saw the helicopters flying in the sky. Looking at everyoneâs expressions, the Long family seemed to have finally managed to save themselves some face. This made Jerry smile happily. However, much to everyoneâs disappointment, before the helicopters could properly display the words on the red satin rolls, all of them landed immediately instead. âHuh? Whatâs happening?â asked someone, shocked. âThe hell? Quick! Go check out whatâs wrong!â shouted another person from the side. It was at that moment when a shocking sight could be seen from afar. A speck of black seemed to have formed in the sky, and it was slowly getting bigger as it swiftly approached Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. That speck in question was actually Geraldâs thirty-six helicopters! While none of the helicopters looked as grand as the ones owned by the Long family, in the end, thirty-six helicopters were still much gran
While the Owens hadnât said a thing from the very beginning, Rosalie had been glaring at Gerald with eyes filled with hostility from the moment he appeared. If the Crawfords wanted to cause trouble now, the Owens couldnât really do much about it. âI believe that some of you may have already heard about the misunderstanding between me and the Owens, and Iâm sure that everyone wants to know what exactly happened. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the truth!â said Gerald with a laugh. The moment he said that, Geraldâs men took that as their cue to start playing a video. It was projected on the big screen located in front of the venue. In the video, a car could be seen parked on a bridge. It was night time and both Yunus Long and Melissa Wayham were present. Moments later, a car drove toward them and out stepped the director of Mayberry News. âLissa, Iâll leave the matter regarding Rosalie to you. Your job is just to get her and Gerald together in a room. As for you, Mr. L
Xavia hadnât expected things to go this way. She had only wanted to use this opportunity to widen her social circle with the attendees. If Gerald hadnât attended the event, her plan wouldâve gone smoothly. Nobody could have ever anticipated that the event would end up in such a tense situation. âHumph! Youâre such a disgrace to the Long Family, Yunus Long! I canât believe you would do such a thing!â said Xavia in disgust as she spat at him. Her response was an immediate slap to the face from Yunus. Yunusâs eyes were bloodshot as Xavia, overwhelmed by the force of his slap, fell atop one of the tables. âYou f*cking b*tch! Keep your mouth shut! All you do is ramble on and on! Iâm sick of all that! Who do you even think you are to lecture me like that? Iâm only saying this once. Youâre my sister-in-law merely because I acknowledged you as part of our family! If I hadnât brought you in, youâd just be another stray b*tch trying to claw your way in!â âYou⊠You dare hit me?â s
Geraldâs main purpose of attending the event was just to intimidate them. He wanted the Longs to know that they were messing with the wrong person, and that they should re-evaluate their decision of pursuing their revenge against him. Now that he had completed what he had set out to do, Gerald was ready to leave. Sometime after getting into his car, he noticed that someone was tailing him. Looking into his rear-view mirror, he realized who was in the car, so he simply paid the vehicle no further attention. Once he arrived at the hotelâs entrance, Gerald was just about to enter when a girlâs voice called out to him. âAre you planning to just ignore me forever, Gerald?!â Of course, the person in the car earlier was Giya. âThereâs no reason for us to maintain our relationship anymore. Yunus should no longer pester you either, so isnât that good enough?â replied Gerald. âCanât we even just be friends anymore?â replied Giya. She was discontent with the way Gerald was cu
To Giya, her request was fairly simple. She understood that she wasnât perfect, but was she so bad that Gerald didnât even want to look at her for one final time? Still, it made her feel a little better since he was still willing to consider her favor. From her point of view as a girl, though fulfilling the request wouldnât entirely grant her contentment, it was the only way for her to completely end her relationship with Gerald. She wasnât really trying to conspire anything bad at all. Giya simply wanted Gerald to do something for her. To prove that he still cared for her. With any luck, she hoped that that would finally be able to satisfy her. That was the gist of why she had made that request. However, Gerald was visibly hesitant about agreeing to it. While he had pretended to be other peoplesâ boyfriends before in the past, those favors werenât too hard for him to handle. It was the least he could do to help out his friends. However, faking a marriage was a comple
However, due to his old age and muddle-headedness, it would be quite a bit of trouble if Gerald was to follow him around. Gerald wasnât trying to be rude, but he just couldnât bear the thought of letting him suffer! Early the next morning, Gerald received a call from Tammy. She had of course, called to discuss the fake marriage. To keep the marriage a secret from the public, Gerald had told neither Zack nor Michael about it. Gerald understood the reasoning behind Giyaâs request. The main purpose of the fake marriage was to let the Longs and Owens know that they were engaged. âIâll be picking you up, Gerald! Wait downstairs!â said Tammy. âAlright, alright, Iâll be down in a minute!â replied Gerald as he smiled bitterly. The entire plan was quite simple. They were just going to have a banquet in a hotel so that Giyaâs family could finally settle down. By the time he got downstairs, Tammy was already there waiting for him. They were ready to depart. As they were about to l
Xavia had already planned everything out. She knew that the moment Gerald found out that she was in danger, he would definitely come running over to save her. Xavia had no doubts about it given how well she knew his personality in the past. Once he arrived, she would begin crying and throwing tantrums before threatening to commit suicide. After seeing that, he would definitely be saddened and try to console her! After that, she would finally have her chance to be together with Gerald again. While Xavia seemed like she utterly hated Gerald at first glance, her main and only aim was to make Gerald regret leaving her. Though she had managed to corner Gerald up in the bar that day, she had never planned to order her subordinates to beat him up. The most she had wanted to do back then was to mock him slightly before asking him how it felt to have fallen right into her hands. She wanted Gerald to be filled with grief. To her surprise, Gerald hadnât even bothered checking in on
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, âW-what powerâŠ!â As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, âAttackâŠ!â And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyâŠ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylâs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! âNoâŠ!â howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate⊠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 up⊠Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever⊠âDarling, itâs your brotherâs wedding day today⊠Shouldnât we head over earlier? Youâve been dolling yourself up for ages!â âFine, dad⊠Though, isnât Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherâs gone through so many hardsh
âDarylâs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherâs 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!â âIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordâs efforts, theyâve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?â explained Finnley. ââŠSo thatâs the truth⊠Then, howâs Mila?â asked Gerald. âSheâs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!â replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear⊠Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenât 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 didnât take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerâŠ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectâs master scoffed, âI 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 wonât save you this time!â Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, ââŠWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?â Laughing in response, the master then said, âOh, youâll 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 supremeâŠ!â Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown even more.
ââŠThis formation. It feels⊠familiar,â muttered Sanchez. âSame thought here. I think itâs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!â replied Gerald. âAh, no wonder it felt so familiar⊠Though, wasnât this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?â 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 sectâs other mysterious and bizarre formations⊠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 future⊠Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, âI read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating⊠and it wasnât long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches⊠In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, ââŠTheseâŠâ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, ââŠI take it that the herbalist theyâre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?â ââŠWell, itâs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnât right⊠Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?â muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. âI really canât sayâŠ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!â replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. ââŠIs that the truth?â âI swear on my life!â exc
âFlaxen, you bloody traitorâŠ!â 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, âWho⊠Who the hell are you peopleâŠ?!ââYou donât need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,â scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.ââŠWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iâll comply so easily?â growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand⊠and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor manâs arms!âIf you want your other limbs intact, donât make me repeat the question,â 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 Zemanâs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, âSo, they want to ambush some herb lady⊠Is she the one weâre looking for?â 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, âI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!â Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnât 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 Darylâs hideout⊠Hopefully the Yinblood pelletâthat was now in his handsâwould aid with that effort⊠As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlâs instructions. After all, heâd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldâs 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 underprepared⊠Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldnât help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyâd 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, âYouâre really something else, GeraldâŠ! 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 generalâs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!â âOh, donât you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iâm sure youâll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youâre already thinking about killing me t
