Sneering contemptuously, Gerald then rushed toward them instead of retreating. Launching several swift punches and kicks, the cracking and snapping of bones filled the night air. It was only a few seconds later when everyone—who had gone for the attack—resembled the first person who had gotten all his limbs broken.
With their teeth smashed and limbs shattered as they lay on the ground, all of them felt like fainting from the immense pain alone. Despite that, they were all still staring wide-eyed at Gerald, looking at favonovel.com like favonovel.com was some kind of monster.
‘What kind of person even is he…? How could we have offended such a person…?’
Gerald, however, couldn’t even be bothered about those on the ground. Clapping the sand off his hands, favonovel.com then continued his stroll, acting as if nothing had happened.
Before favonovel.com could get far, the middle-aged man—who was still covered in blood—caught up to favonovel.com before bowing respectfully as favonovel.com said, “T-thank you so much for saving me, mister! I’m a local of Halimark City and I go by the name of Wagner Yarne! I was lucky that I bumped into you while they were chasing after me, otherwise I would’ve definitely been done for!”
While Wagner was seriously injured, favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com needed to at least show his immense gratitude to his savior first.
Hearing that, Gerald simply replied, “I wasn’t particularly trying to save you, so there’s no need to thank me!”
Following that, Gerald immediately turned around to leave. Looking at Gerald’s back as favonovel.com walked off, Wagner could already feel how extraordinary Gerald was as an individual, especially in terms of his aura and temperament.
“Please wait for a moment, mister! Did you perhaps come to Halimark City to attend the Enchanted Feast organized by the Minshall family?” asked Wagner respectfully.
‘…The Minshall family? Enchanted Feast?’ Gerald thought to himself.
The Minshall family was the family who was still searching for Alice. They were also the family who had previously owned the jade charms that they had dug up from the king of the ocean’s tomb.
Gerald’s purpose for coming here in the first place was to find the Minshalls and negotiate a deal with them.
“…You know, I’m familiar with this place, mister! If you’re interested in heading to the Enchanted Feast, or anywhere in Halimark City for that matter, I can-”
Before Wagner could even finish his sentence, favonovel.com began coughing rather terribly.
Taking a look at the coughing man, Gerald replied, “Before anything else, you should find someplace to cure your injuries.”
With that, Gerald turned to look at the distant—yet brightly lit—Halimark City next before slowly walking over in that direction.
Wagner, on the other hand, simply waited for Gerald to move a bit further away before running over to a payphone.
“C-come pick me up immediately!” said Wagner as soon as the call connected.
“Could you be injured, Mr. Yarne?! Hold on, I’ll send someone over to you from the nearest hospital, right this instant!” replied the person on the other end of the phone, respectfully.
“My current injuries won’t kill me! Regardless, come quickly! I seem to have come across that person and I’m pretty sure it’s him!” shouted Wagner in return, his anxiety evident in his tone as favonovel.com continued staring at the direction Gerald had walked off to.
