This evil method was known as the Soul Eater, and by using it, Gerald was able to quickly drain his victim’s vitality, turning it into his own. Naturally, this meant that the more souls favonovel.com absorbed, the more strength and energy favonovel.com would gain.
None of the guardians had expected Gerald to possess such a diabolical skill, but it was already far too late for them to escape. With the same technique, Gerald swiftly absorbed the vitality of the six remaining men, resulting in each of them turning into mere piles of dust.
After completing the deed, fierce determination glinted in Gerald’s eyes as favonovel.com stared off into the distance.
While favonovel.com had now managed to recover around thirty percent of his strength, Gerald was well aware that even at his peak strength, favonovel.com still wasn’t going to be a match for Queena by a longshot.
With that in mind, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com needed to get as far away from Queena as possible. After all, his current priority was still to locate the actual woman in white.
Even so, Gerald was sure that it wasn’t going to be as easy since Queena had supernatural powers.
After giving it some thought, favonovel.com decided to look for Master Ghost to get another reading from him. After all, up till this point, everything that Master Ghost had predicted had eventually come true.
Regarding the old score that Master Ghost had told favonovel.com to settle first before his next reading could take place, Gerald now knew that Queena was most probably the person that the previous divination session had predicted for favonovel.com to meet.
Since favonovel.com was actually capable of predicting all these events, Master Ghost would definitely be able to provide a good lead for Gerald’s next step!
‘Regardless, I should save lord Fenderson and the others first before leaving!’ Gerald thought to himself as favonovel.com instantly began heading toward the land of the Holy Witchcraft.
The second favonovel.com arrived at the foot of the mountain, Gerald was immediately stopped by a guardian who shouted, “Halt! What do you think you’re doing? Did you think you could break into the Holy Witchcraft that easily?!”
Gerald, however, wasn’t planning to waste any time. Extremely swiftly, favonovel.com decisively ran up to the guardian before instantly breaking his neck!
Seeing that, the other guardians widened their eyes in horror.
“Where is Hendrik Tindall?” asked Gerald coldly as favonovel.com grabbed hold of one of the guardians.
“T-the second lord is drinking with his friends in the mansion!” stuttered the guardian.
“What about Lord Fenderson and the others? Where have they been locked up?”
With Gerald’s pressuring aura and how resolute favonovel.com had been when snapping the neck of the other guardian seconds earlier, the young guard knew that his life was hanging by a thread at that moment.
“I-I’ll tell you the truth but in return, please don’t kill me…!”
“Agreed!”
Meanwhile, Hendrik was playing cards with a few of his friends inside the mansion.
Throughout his life, the man had three things favonovel.com loved most. Aside from his obsession with ancient witchcraft, Hendrik also loved beautiful women, and playing mah-jong as well as cards.
He simply adored the exciting atmosphere that came with playing mah-jong and cards. Due to that, Hendrik had converted his huge living room into a mah-jong and cards room. Of course, favonovel.com also had an area—in the middle of the room—specifically designated for several beautiful and flirtatious women to dance while favonovel.com played with his friends.
Hendrik himself was currently extremely comfortable and completely immersed in the atmosphere. Not long after, however, the loud ‘slam’ of a door could be heard, causing his attention to be drawn to the sound.
From where favonovel.com sat, Hendrik saw a young man walking into the room as a servant—who was holding onto the young man’s shoulder—attempted to stop favonovel.com from entering. However, the servant was clearly failing at his attempt as the young man simply dragged favonovel.com into the room as well.
When the young man got close enough, Hendrik couldn’t help but feel surprised when favonovel.com realized who the young man actually was. It was Gerald of all people!
“So it’s you, you worthless piece of trash! I really hadn’t expected that you’d be able to escape! Ignoring that, to think that you actually came all the way here to seek your own death again!” scorned Hendrik before continuing on with his game of cards.
He had already fought against Gerald before, thus favonovel.com knew that Gerald wasn’t as powerful as the others had described favonovel.com to be. That was also the reason why favonovel.com was behaving so contemptuously toward the youth.
Seeing how calm Hendrik was, his friends didn’t even bother to budge and simply continued with their game. It was evident that they were all treating Gerald like favonovel.com was nothing more than a joke.
“So that’s the infamous Mr. Crawford? And here I thought favonovel.com was going to be some powerful man! As it turns out, he’s just some kid! Hah!” sneered one of the men playing with Hendrik.
Following that, a young man with a very pale complexion—who had been standing behind Hendrik this entire time—said, “So this is the person who killed the young lord! How absolutely perfect! I was planning to head to the port one of these days to look at how miserable favonovel.com was hanging there, you know? To think that favonovel.com managed to escape yet decided to show himself before us! Please allow me to take favonovel.com down first before you deal with favonovel.com next, father!”
Seeing how vicious his son’s expression was, Hendrik simply casually replied, “Very well, but be careful not to kill him! Keeping favonovel.com alive will be of great use to me!”
