The second his sentence ended, Gerald increased the pressure of his foot without warning! A split second later, a sickening sound was heard as Luther’s head exploded like a watermelon!
Seeing that Luther had been reduced to such a state before favonovel.com could even scream, some of the remaining Crawfords instantly yelled, “H-hurry! Run for it and tell the chief about this…!”
With that, the hundred over terrified people began scattering in all four directions, hoping to escape with their lives intact!
“Oh? Are all of you seriously trying to escape now?” said Gerald with a faint smile before closing his eyes…
As soon as favonovel.com did, a golden eye suddenly appeared on his forehead! Almost instantaneously, a strong light was then ejected from the eye! The light itself easily homed in on everyone Gerald deemed as an enemy, and whenever the light pierced through someone, their bodies would end up exploding in gory sounds!
While all this was taking place, those standing behind Gerald could only scream in terror. After all, all this was simply too cruel for them!
Once everyone was taken out, Gerald closed his divine eye before turning to look at the old priest while asking, “Are you sure that Master Ghost is currently in Hoyt’s hands?”
“Y-yes, Master Crawford!” replied the shocked old priest.
Though favonovel.com had experienced a great deal throughout his lifetime, this was the first favonovel.com had witnessed such a bloody scene… It made favonovel.com fear Gerald since the young man was actually willing to resort to such vicious methods…
“Very well, then. Regardless, I’ll have to trouble you to lead my friends down the mountain and settle down there for a bit. For your own safety, please don’t re-ascend the mountain till I get down!” instructed Gerald.
Before anyone could even say a thing about that, Gerald’s figure had already dissipated into thin air…
Regardless, Gerald’s words seemed to be imbued with some sort of magic. After all, though some of them were initially hesitant, everyone eventually hurried down the mountain in retreat.
A little while later, two rows of people could be seen sitting on both sides of a secret chamber located on Sacrasolis Mountain. Sitting at the highest point in the chamber, was a middle-aged man with a square jaw.
Lying right in the middle of this group, was an oil cauldron, and right beside it was an old man who was being held captive.
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember you promising us that you’d give us the answers we wanted after a month of purification. We trusted in you, but it’s now well over a month. Since you attempted to deceive us, I’m now reminding you that there isn’t a way out for you. Look, either you fulfill your promise and cooperate with us, or my men will dunk you into that boiling hot oil cauldron!” sneered the middle-aged man—who was clearly the leader of the group—as favonovel.com took a sip of his wine.
“Oh? Did I promise such a thing? I’m sorry, my memory hasn’t been the best! Do tell me what exactly I promised at the start!” replied the old and extremely thin man sitting by the oil cauldron.
As expected, the man was none other than Master Ghost, though favonovel.com now looked rather haggard after being tortured for so long. Even so, his eyes were still brimming with vigor.
“Firstly, I want you to tell me where Gerald is. You, of all people, should know how much we’ve gone through throughout the years just to locate him. Secondly, I need you to tell me where the Astrigite is. Even so, aren’t you just playing a fool, Master Ghost? Do you think any of us here buy your confused act?” growled Hoyt.
“Hahaha! I’ve already told you, haven’t I? Gerald’s coming over to find you sooner or later! However, you got impatient and captured his family members! Regardless, as for the second request… Let’s discuss that once you meet up with Gerald. That is, if you’re still alive by then!” replied Master Ghost before laughing aloud.
This prompted a fat middle-aged man—who had a katana sheathed under his Japanese garments—to slam his fist onto the table before shouting, “You old b*stard! Who do you even think Gerald is? Killing favonovel.com would probably be easier than killing an ant for me!”
“Look, if you know what’s good for you, just tell us where Gerald is right now! Otherwise, you’ll be facing so much misery that you’ll be wishing that we allowed you to die!” grumbled another impatient person.
At that moment, everyone heard slow, but distinct, footsteps approaching the room…
“…Hmm? Who could that be?”
