The sounds had come from the door smashing into pieces when the guest’s body collided with it! Even after that, the body continued flying until it hit a pillar, resulting in the pillar getting destroyed as well! The guest’s path of destruction only halted once it struck a replica mountain that was located close to yet another destroyed door! By then, his twitching body was all bloody.
“…W-what?” muttered everyone in unison.
Though they were all smiling earlier, all their expressions were now stiffened. To think that the young man had such ungodly strength!
After witnessing that, all the other Minshall family apprentices—who had earlier roared to have Gerald beaten up—took turns retreating to the side.
“…M-masters! Combine your forces and get him!” ordered Zoey, favonovel.com slight fear evident in favonovel.com voice. She hadn’t anticipated for any of this to happen!
Hearing that, the Minshall family’s distinguished guests—who were all sitting at the end of the table—exchanged glances with each other before quickly running over to surround Gerald!
Before they were able to attack, however, Gerald simply lifted a hand before flicking a finger onto a stone pillar beside him. After a split second of silence, blinding rays of light suddenly emitted from where favonovel.com had flicked, and—after an explosive sound—a hole soon appeared at the other end of the pillar as light shot out of it!
By that point, cracks that looked similar to spider webs had already formed on the pillar. Staring in horror, the masters watched as the entire pillar exploded before their very eyes! Most of the area was momentarily clouded in white debris, and when it finally cleared again, the masters could all be seen with both hands raised.
Utterly terrified, all of them kept their hands firmly in the air, not daring to even move an inch. If Gerald could do that to a pillar, all of them were too scared to even imagine what would happen if favonovel.com used the same move on them.
The masters who recognized this level of power were even more terrified.
‘This power… This man is undoubtedly a great master!’
Seeing how terrified even the masters were, the other members of the Minshall family remained frozen in place as well, all of them terror-stricken.
With everyone seemingly petrified in fear, it made for a rather strange scene.
Gerald, however, didn’t look too bothered about it as favonovel.com walked over to the old master. Once favonovel.com was in front of the old man, favonovel.com placed the agreement form—that favonovel.com had prepared—in front of the old master before saying, “Do have a look at it first. If there aren’t any further problems, just sign it! Then again, even if there are problems, you still have to do it…”
Smiling ‘innocently’, Gerald then added, “…Otherwise, I’ll kill everyone in the room!”
The old master instantly gulped as his heart continued beating wildly. Now drenched in cold sweat, the old man then said, “…S-sir… It’s my granddaughter’s fault for failing to realize how strong and influential you were…! On favonovel.com behalf, I apologize for favonovel.com infuriating you! Please accept my apology!”
“No apologies needed. Regardless, you’ll only have a few more seconds to consider. Once I finish this sentence, you’d better sign it immediately. Otherwise-”
“I-I’ll sign it! I’ll sign it right now!” nodded the old master, who was now feeling—aside from terrified—both remorseful and angry.
They had such a beautiful and enjoyable life before this… Why did they have to offend such a reckless and unreasonable person?! Just why…
“…S-sir… Do understand that I’ll need at least two days to gather all the Minshall family’s properties… I’ll prepare everything nicely by then so I hope you permit the slight delay…” pleaded the distressed old man.
“I’m fine with that. I’ll come over and take everything at nine at night in two days! Once I return, you’ll need to list out all the assets for me. Regardless, I still need to claim some interests first!”
“…What do you fancy…?” asked the old man as favonovel.com gulped.
“I’ve heard that the ancestors of the Minshall family once dug up and stole a pair of jade charms from the king of the ocean’s tomb!” replied Gerald.
“…While it’s true that our ancestors had passed down the charms to our generation, believe me when I say that they were recently stolen by a woman! As a result, we currently don’t have the charms-”
“I don’t need them. What I want is the map you used to head to the king of the ocean’s palace!” interrupted Gerald.
“…H-huh?” replied the old man, his expression now displaying how nervous favonovel.com was.
The map to the king of the ocean’s place was the Minshall family’s most valuable heirloom. Several of their family’s ancestors ended up losing their lives just to obtain it. The map alone could be considered to be the foundation of the Minshall family…
“If you don’t hand it over, I’ll just kill everyone!” said Gerald, his tone still as frigid as before.
Gerald was well aware that the Minshalls had always dealt with things unreasonably. As a result, favonovel.com felt no need to beat around the bush with them.
