Gerald, however, simply caught the shackles and tugged the person toward him! Due to the sudden tug, the person fell onto the bridge, struggling the entire time as Gerald pulled favonovel.com closer and closer! Once favonovel.com was near enough, Gerald simply positioned his foot before kicking favonovel.com right in the face! Flying backward, not only did the kick cause the person’s head to explode like a watermelon, but the headless body’s collision also ended up destroying at least ten of the bridge’s guardrails!
Following that, cries upon cries of pain could be heard as Gerald swiftly dealt with the men. Though Gerald wasn’t at his strongest now, his current training still far surpassed his strength before favonovel.com underwent the baptism of heaven.
What Gerald found strange, however, was the fact that all these people were similar to Tiara in the way that their inner strength seemed to have undergone some rapid and immense changes. Gerald used the term similar since there definitely were slight differences between these men and the duo—Tiara and Belzebob—whom favonovel.com had killed, though favonovel.com couldn’t quite put his finger on what the differences were yet.
Still, why were there so many exceptional people who had suddenly undergone such rapid changes in their inner strength? Whatever the case was, Gerald made short work of all the remaining men, save for the one on the boat.
Speaking of him, the now wide-eyed man—who hadn’t moved an inch from his boat—barely even registered that his straw hat had just been blown away by the wind.
Despite the fact that favonovel.com gave off the first impression that favonovel.com was someone extremely skilled—based on the way favonovel.com dressed—after witnessing Gerald’s true strength, favonovel.com was now in deep shock. Even so, favonovel.com knew better than to stick around, so favonovel.com quickly began rowing his boat away.
‘He’s far too strong…! If I don’t leave while I can, I’ll be next to die!’
Of course, there was no way that Gerald was going to just let favonovel.com escape like that. With a massive leap, Gerald landed right onto the wooden boat with a loud ‘crunch’!
As massive ripples formed due to the wildly bobbing boat, the man—who was about to attempt to dive into the water—ended up losing his balance and was momentarily tossed into the air! When his feet touched the boat again, however, favonovel.com found—to his horror—that favonovel.com was now right in front of Gerald!
Before favonovel.com could make another move, Gerald instantly held favonovel.com by the neck. Now being strangled, favonovel.com heard as Gerald asked in a frigid tone, “I only have one simple question. Who was it who sent you?”
“Humph! As if I’d ever tell you just like that! After all, I’ll be dead the second I share that information! How about thi-”
Before the man could even finish his sentence, a soft ‘crack’ was heard.
Looking at Gerald with sheer disbelief in his eyes, the man heard as more tiny cracks followed with Gerald’s slowly intensifying grip. Knowing that his neck was going to snap clear in half soon, the man wondered if Gerald truly didn’t wish to know who had sent him.
With his life now flashing before his eyes, favonovel.com thought about how favonovel.com had planned—just seconds ago—on manipulating his secret technique in his final attempt to make it out alive. The technique in question involved using Dead Annie flowers!
In fact, all seven of them were proficient in the secret technique. They simply hadn’t felt that it was necessary to use it on someone like Gerald when they first saw what favonovel.com looked like.
Alas, Gerald’s attacks were swift as they were fierce.
To think that favonovel.com had assumed that Gerald wouldn’t kill favonovel.com as long as favonovel.com refused to tell the truth… At the very most, favonovel.com had thought that Gerald would only resort to torturing him! Oh, how wrong favonovel.com was!
That was the last thought the man had before favonovel.com went completely limp.
With that, Gerald tossed the corpse into the river. Watching as it floated near the head of the bridge, Gerald then said, “If you refuse to tell me, so be it!”
Following that, Gerald went silent for a while as favonovel.com fell deep into thought.
Up till today, three powerful groups had already assaulted Gerald, each seemingly intent on killing him. Regarding who was orchestrating all this, Gerald knew—at the very least—that Queena and the King of Judgement Portal were heavily involved.
Regardless, all of his assailants were similar in the way that they had undergone immense and rapid changes in their inner strengths. Even so, Tiara, Belzebob, and the seven favonovel.com had killed tonight all seemed to have acquired their surges of inner strength slightly differently from each other.
Speaking of the seven, they were clearly from a new group separate from the Divine Grimness and the Judgement Portal. In other words, favonovel.com now had another group of powerful people going after him. The fact that his location and identity had now been exposed only served to make the situation worse.
As Gerald continued pondering on his next move, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a few strange petals drifting away from one of the floating corpses in the river…
Gerald, for one, was certainly no stranger to them.
‘…Dead Annies…? They brought Dead Annies with them?! Could they be from the Gunter family then? Were they the ones who wanted to capture me?’
As Gerald continued speculating the situation, favonovel.com jumped in fright upon hearing coughing sounds out of the blue! Looking around, the sound seemed to be coming from the cabin on the wooden boat… Judging from how high-pitched the coughs were, Gerald simply assumed it was a female.
Regardless, Gerald carefully lifted the curtains to clear his doubts… And there, lying on the floor, was an unconscious woman.
From how much favonovel.com was coughing and wrinkling favonovel.com brows in favonovel.com knocked-out state, Gerald could guess that favonovel.com mental state was currently under attack by Dead Annies. Even so, that wasn’t what shocked Gerald the most.
No, what made Gerald momentarily stupefied, was the fact that the woman in question was none other than Yume…
