Whatever the case was, it was only seconds later when both Gerald and Christos’s expressions turned grave. Both of them had sensed an immense murderous intent rapidly approaching them from the outside! “…It seems that you’ve been followed, kid! You got a lot of enemies or something?” grumbled Christos. Since Christos had been laying low in here for decades, there was no way the enemy was coming for him. With that in mind, Gerald understood that it only made sense for the murderous people to be after him… Still, to think that news about him arriving in Rico would spread so quickly… Gerald, for one, hadn’t expected others to be coming after him so soon! Had his enemies been observing him this entire time…? Regardless, Gerald could only lower his head in embarrassment as he said, “I apologize for the trouble, senior Christos…! Allow me to deal with them first!” Following that, he walked out the grocery store and stood by the door… By this point, night had already fallen and

As the duo made their way to Mount Kenloux, a man dressed fully in black could be seen kneeling in the middle of a room located on the far end of Dragonott. The man himself was kneeling before another robed man who had a scepter of sorts in hand… Shortly after, the kneeling man then quickly reported, “From what we’ve heard, Gerald has already left Rico and is now back in Dragonott, chief! Apparently, he’s already well on his way to Mount Kenloux!” Upon hearing that, the robed man then asked in a frigid tone, “…Mount Kenloux? Why on earth is he headed there?” “We can’t say for sure yet, but we do have something else that’s noteworthy! There’s an extremely powerful man with Gerald now, and all our men—who were sent out to attack Gerald—were killed in a single attack by that person!” said the kneeling man while shaking his head. Hearing that, the robed man then snorted before scoffing, “What are you up to this time, Gerald… No matter. Get me a car now! I’m heading to Mount Kenlo

To think that his first impression—upon entering the Autremonde Realm—would be how lovely this place’s near-pristine nature appeared… While he would’ve certainly liked to enjoy the view for a bit longer, Gerald knew he had more important things to do. With that in mind, he left the stream and began walking till he eventually came across a town of sorts… Just as he was about to enter the town, however, the familiar glint of a blade’s reflection caught his eye. Realizing that it had come from the nearby jungle, Gerald raised a slight brow before sneaking over to investigate… Shortly after, he was greeted by the sight of a woman—wearing purple clothes—getting attacked by five men who were dressed wholly in white. Naturally, this made Gerald incredibly angry. After all, how could so many men go up against a single woman! Had they no dignity?! Whatever the case was, though the woman—who had a longsword in hand—was clearly outnumbered, Gerald was honestly surprised that she was

Upon seeing that, Johnny’s face immediately went pale. To think that Gerald was this powerful… How unexpected! “…Who the hell are you?! State your name!” growled Johnny as he glared daggers at Gerald. “As if you even have a right to know my name!” retorted Gerald, a wry smile on his face. As if he’d reveal his identity so easily when he wasn’t even from this world! Hearing that, Johnny couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Still, he knew that he and his men were no match against Gerald. Johnny, for one, was well acquainted with the saying, ‘A wise man never continues fighting when the odds are clearly against him.’ With that in mind, Johnny then yelled, “Men! Retreat!” Hearing that, the four men obeyed and quickly fled the scene with Johnny… Once they were out of sight, Gerald walked toward Zianne, helping her up as he asked in a concerned tone, “Are you alright…?” Now that he was standing so close to her, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that she looked absolutely beautiful…

Not even waiting for Ziane to reply, the other disciple quickly added, “Have you already forgotten the rules of our sect? Master has told us time and again that we can’t bring outsiders into our abbey, especially men! With that in mind, what you’re currently doing is clearly against the rules, Eldest sister! You’ll definitely be punished if you bring him in!” As the chief disciple of the Purplefog Abbey, Zianne had a rather high reputation in the sect. What more, she was also an idol to many of the sect’s disciples. With that in mind, the two girls were simply stepping in out of concern. Understanding that they only meant well, Zianne then calmly explained, “He’s no outsider… He’s my savior! Just so you two know, without his help, I would’ve surely perished earlier!” Upon hearing that, the two girls were instantly caught in a dilemma… Seeing that, Zianne then added, “Don’t worry, you two! I’ll explain all this to master, and if anything happens, I’ll be sure to take full respon
