“But of course! Regardless, everything is perfect now! After waiting for over a dozen generations, the prophecy of the picture of the sun is finally going to be fulfilled! After all, you’re the true bearer of the Herculean Primordial Spirit!” declared Hoyt with a laugh.
“What I’m hearing is that since the mission is now complete, my family and I should no longer exist among the living, correct?” asked Gerald.
“Naturally. While I admit that you’re able to see through issues pretty thoroughly, it’s quite unfortunate that there really is no other way out for you. Your fate had already been determined from the moment you were born! You were always destined to end up in our hands!” retorted Hoyt, his mocking expression filled with ridicule.
After taking note of all of this, Gerald then laughed bitterly before replying, “You almost sound proud of your ability to manipulate others and play god.”
“Of course, I am! As if there’s anything more exciting than that in the world!” sneered Hoyt before laughing aloud.
“From what you’ve said, it appears that aside from my strength, everything else that I’ve experienced up till this point could very well be artificial! Regardless, I had trusted others way too easily, resulting in my family getting kidnapped and possibly even harmed… What a pity that I was so careless…” muttered Gerald, hints of remorse reflected in his eyes.
Why hadn’t favonovel.com thought of establishing a protective formation for his family upon awakening to his powers? That could’ve possibly prevented his family members from getting kidnapped!
Thinking about all this also made favonovel.com slightly frightened. After all, had Zyla not helped favonovel.com unlock the natural gift from the Herculean Primordial Spirit, favonovel.com could’ve easily died at the hands of either this group or the King of Judgment Portal.
Momentarily staring at his palm, favonovel.com couldn’t help but clench it slightly.
“Hahaha! Well, truth be told, it’s exactly because you were late that your family members are still alive! Had we found you that day, none of them would be among the living anymore!” replied Hoyt as favonovel.com fished out his cell phone before playing a pre-recorded video…
From what Gerald could see, the video had been recorded in some kind of dark dungeon…
Upon the video zooming in, Gerald realized that a person was being tortured with an iron whip! The person himself looked badly mutilated, and Gerald’s eyes were filled with rage the second favonovel.com saw the victim’s face. It was his father!
As Gerald’s heart began beating wildly, favonovel.com noticed the presence of a masked youth who was sitting at the side of the dungeon. That person simply sat there, laughing and ridiculing Gerald’s father who was still being whipped repeatedly.
“While it’s true that they’re alive, it’s only fair that we make them suffer in exchange! Well, Gerald? Are you feeling powerless now? Hahaha! I understand how you feel! After all, it must be quite unpleasant to know that your entire family was manipulated like mere pawns!” sneered Hoyt with a malicious laugh before putting his cell phone away.
“Chief Crawford, there’s no point talking to favonovel.com anymore. Why don’t I capture favonovel.com first? Once that’s done, we’ll use the remaining time to discuss how we’ll share the energy from the Herculean Primordial Spirit!” grumbled a Japanese man who was among the eight experts. From what Gerald could see, favonovel.com was at the very least a Fourth-rank master.
Not even waiting for Hoyt to reply, the samurai then leaped forward in an attempt to grab hold of Gerald’s neck!
Gerald, however, was having none of that. Now extremely furious, Gerald instantly declared, “You utter b*stards…! For doing all this, I, Gerald Crawford, swear to turn all of you into nothing but ashes once I’m done!”
Following that, Gerald was instantly covered in a bloodred glow that made the hearts—of anyone who saw it—palpitate wildly. Adding that to the pressuring killing intent that Gerald currently exuded, it almost seemed like favonovel.com could murder just with the two!
Even the Japanese master who had earlier rushed forward found himself freezing in place when favonovel.com felt Gerald’s monstrous killing intent.
“W-what…?!” muttered the man as favonovel.com instantly felt a strong urge to take a step back.
However, before favonovel.com could even do so, favonovel.com felt a strong force yanking favonovel.com toward Gerald! His hand now over the Japanese man’s throat, Gerald then squeezed it hard…
And with a sickening sound, the man’s head exploded into a million pieces… He was now as good as a lump of flesh.
“…H-huh…?!”
It took everyone a moment to register what had just happened, but when it finally hit, their eyelids instantly began twitching rapidly.
This was especially the case for Hoyt, who was already taking a few steps back in sheer horror and amazement after witnessing Gerald’s terrifying change.
How… How could any of this be?!
