Upon being shaken, Gerald finally snapped out of it as favonovel.com turned to look at Xaverie.
The truth was, favonovel.com had entered such a state since the five disks in his body had reappeared a little earlier. With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t keep himself calm enough to continue watching the fights at full concentration.
While Gerald was still pretty much aware of the incidents happening around him, his mind was more preoccupied on the disks, which explained his lack of action.
“What are you looking at me for? Look down there! Your friend’s about to die!” said Xaverie, feeling speechless.
“She’s not really my friend… She’s merely my disciple!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile, finding favonovel.com over anxiousness slightly amusing.
“…Disciple? Are you still half asleep?!” grumbled Xaverie in resignation as favonovel.com friends turned to look at favonovel.com with odd gazes.
“Not really, no. Regardless, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but I appreciate your kindness earlier, Xaverie! Now then, I’m heading off to aid my disciple!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com stood up, finally ready to leave the sidelines.
Seeing how much trouble Perla was currently in, Gerald knew favonovel.com had to step in quickly before something bad happened to her.
Before favonovel.com could even make a move, however, favonovel.com felt Xaverie tugging his sleeve while saying, “The hell are you doing, Gerald? You can’t just move around so casually! They’ll kill you!”
Chuckling in response, Gerald simply replied in an indifferent tone, “I’ll be fine, don’t worry!”
With that, favonovel.com slowly began making his way toward the platformed area…
At that exact moment, Carlos—who was done waiting—was just about to draw both Perla and Xyrielle over to favonovel.com when favonovel.com suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out, “I do hope you’re doing well, Laughing Master!”
He recognized that voice anywhere, and Carlos’s legs instantly began trembling frantically as though they had just been struck by lightning.
Slowly turning around to see if the owner of the voice was truly him, Carlos’s eyes widened when favonovel.com realized that his worst nightmare had come true… Gerald was now slowly walking toward the platform!
“…Hmm? Wait… it’s you again!” exclaimed Yaakov in bewilderment when favonovel.com saw Gerald slowly walking past him.
‘He’s the one who’s endlessly pestered my daughter before this… Still, the way favonovel.com called Carlos earlier… Is favonovel.com acquainted with that old man or something?’ Yaakov thought to himself rather doubtfully.
“…Gerald…?” muttered the shocked Xyrielle who had also noticed Gerald’s presence by this point.
Xaverie and favonovel.com friends were equally as flabbergasted as they watched the calm Gerald—who had slid his hands into his pockets—finally walk up the platform.
Now that Gerald was a little too close for comfort, Carlos found himself gulping as favonovel.com took a few steps back, his eyes squinting in Gerald’s direction as favonovel.com muttered, “…What… What are you doing here…?”
Noticing Carlos’s sudden change in demeanor, Ghose narrowed his eyes slightly as favonovel.com stared at Gerald before asking in a cold tone, “…Who is this person, Carlos? And why are you so afraid of him? Don’t tell me he’s the one who inflicted all those wounds on you…”
Finding it hard to even speak without stuttering, Carlos quickly replied, “…That’s favonovel.com alright…!”
“I see. How interesting… I feel that this is my first time meeting such a young exceptional person… Regardless, if favonovel.com truly is as strong as you’ve said, Carlos, I don’t mind helping you kill favonovel.com today! Though favonovel.com may have been able to inflict terrible wounds on you, I believe that with our powers conjoined, we’ll be able to take out at least half of those who’ve entered the training realm!” sneered Ghose.
“No!” replied Carlos almost instantaneously as favonovel.com shook his head rapidly.
“What? Why not? Don’t tell me you’re too afraid to even make a move!” replied Ghose, feeling slightly surprised.
“Me? Afraid? Ghose, I’m Carlos! The man who’s been able to enter the training realm with barely any hindrance! Do you think I know what fear is? Under normal circumstances, even if I bump into much stronger opponents, I’d still make a gamble and go all out on them despite understanding that I could very easily be the one left dead in the end! Note, however, that every time I do something reckless—like trying to drain the essential qi of my opponents or fighting exceptional people—it’s always because I know that winning will either enhance my strength or fame!” explained Carlos while shivering.
“…What do you mean by that?” asked Ghose with a slight frown.
“What I mean is clear and simple. I know I’ll die if I face him, and I don’t want to just perish so meaninglessly!” replied the old man as his legs trembled one final time before his knees touched the ground with a soft ‘thud’.
“Please spare my life, Great master…!”
