While the men had been ridiculing favonovel.com just seconds ago—as they watched the willow leaf hover in mid-air—they now found themselves feeling astonished beyond words as the leaf suddenly began emitting a golden light!
Not only that, but it was also slowly increasing in size! Soon enough, an explosive sound was heard and for some ungodly reason, the willow leaf had turned into a gigantic leaf blade!
“…W-what?!” shouted the eight people as they stared at the blade that was somehow emitting a murderous aura.
Though their immediate response was to book it, it was far too late for any of them.
With a single swift swipe, the blade sliced through all eight of their necks… and the next thing the wide-eyed men knew, their heads were already on the ground!
Now utterly frightened, Yule found himself screaming in horror at the eight freshly decapitated heads!
However, favonovel.com quickly stopped himself before gulping down hard. Despite being the best of the best, the eight men had been decapitated in such a short amount of time… Had favonovel.com not witnessed the scene for himself, Yule would’ve never believed such a statement… This truly was a tactic only a master could pull off…
Though favonovel.com was still brimming with fear, Yule quickly got to his feet before bowing deeply to Gerald, filled with gratitude as favonovel.com declared, “T-thank you for saving our lives, master!”
Choosing not to say much, Gerald simply casually replied, “I’m curing your sister’s wounds now. Turn around and don’t look back!”
Realizing that Gerald didn’t even seem to care about the eight masters favonovel.com had just killed, Yule immediately did as Gerald instructed. What a terrifying person!
While favonovel.com had no idea how the master was going to cure his sister, favonovel.com knew for a fact that it was better for favonovel.com not to question the master’s capabilities.
Once favonovel.com was sure that Yule wasn’t looking, Gerald opened his divine eye and immediately began healing Meghan’s wounds.
Naturally, it was a success, and after a short interlude, Gerald got up to leave. Now that favonovel.com had saved the duo, favonovel.com wasn’t too keen on staying here for any longer than favonovel.com needed to.
Before favonovel.com got far, however, Yule quickly ran after Gerald. Bowing before him, favonovel.com then said, “Please wait for a moment, master! May I ask for your name? As a member of the Quantock family, I’d love to repay your kindness in the future!”
‘He’s simply too powerful…! I need to get to know favonovel.com better!’ Yule thought to himself as favonovel.com said that. Only a fool would give up the chance to make acquaintances with such a powerful individual, and Yule was certainly no fool. While Yule had initially thought that such powerful people could only exist in legends, with Gerald currently standing before him, favonovel.com now knew that that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“There’s no need to know my name and you don’t need to reward me. Regardless, since you’re a champion too, I’m assuming that the Quantocks are a secret society as well? Are you perhaps here to join the underground festival?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com shook his head, figuring that that was the only plausible answer.
Returning a firm nod, Yule then said, “That’s right, master! My family’s actually a cryptic family, and during the earlier years, the Quantocks had been the ones in charge of managing and controlling the underground forces within Jenna City. Unfortunately, things went south a little later and we ended up getting driven out of the city! Despite the fact that my family specializes in organizing events—such as the underground festival in the past—, to think that all it took was a little under twenty years for us to actually require an admission ticket just to join the festival!”
Following that, Yule turned to look at Gerald before asking, “Have you come to join the festival as well, master? If it isn’t too rude, may I know whether you’re a guest of any of the participating families?”
“I’m not a guest of any family. While I did come over to join the festival, it’s unfortunate that I haven’t even been able to get my hands on an admission ticket up till this point!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
“…Huh? Not even with your remarkable abilities…?” asked Yule in disbelief.
He, for one, trusted that any family who had personally witnessed Gerald’s immense skill and power would instantly yearn for such an exceptional man to be their guest. Hell, it wouldn’t be a stretch to claim that the families would rack their brains just to find a way to become a subservient family to that powerful man!
After all, should they manage to do so, the family Gerald chose would definitely gain all sorts of treasures as favonovel.com participated in the many activities. By the end of it, the family would surely be able to manage and control several properties, allowing that family to further expand their power and influence.
What more, with Gerald’s capabilities, most of those probabilities were pretty much already in the bag.
However, the biggest plus to having Gerald on their side was the fact that that family would undoubtedly become an absolute family. A family that would be able to remain at the top from one generation to the next, never wavering in status and power…
With that in mind, Yule had thought that there were already a number of subservient families under his master since favonovel.com was such a powerful man. To think that his master actually had none!
After considering it for a short while, Yule then said, “…Please allow me to make a presumptions request, master!”
