You…! Listen here, your sister’s still in my grasp! Don’t you even dare consider playing any tricks, you hear?!” retorted Henrick as favonovel.com angrily grabbed Jessica by favonovel.com neck.
“You old b*stard! One wrong move on my sister and your son will be dead! If you think I’m just joking around, then try me!” roared Gerald as favonovel.com instantly lifted Yesirn by his neck as well.
When Henrick saw that his son’s eyes were already rolling back on his reddened face, the master of the Quartermain family knew that his threats meant nothing to Gerald.
Rather reluctantly, Henrick then released Jessica’s neck before replying, “…Fine! Let’s exchange our hostages at the same time then!”
Hearing that, Gerald knew that favonovel.com had to play along. Releasing Yesirn’s neck as well, both Gerald and Henrick began slowly walking toward each other, making sure to have a firm grasp on their hostages’ backs.
Once they were close enough, the two men released their grasps at the same time, allowing Yesirn and Jessica to begin walking toward the other party…
However, the second the two passed each other, Henrick made a dash toward Jessica! Since his palm was already charged with essential qi, it was obvious that Henrick had planned to do this from the very beginning!
However, Gerald had naturally read Henrick’s mind long before this exchange. With that in mind, Gerald was able to instantaneously respond by dragging Jessica over and launching his own palm attack!
What followed was an explosive sound that shook the entire Featherlight Pavilion!
With dust and debris flying all over the place, Gerald used that chance to successfully flee the pavilion together with his sister!
By the time the dust had settled, Henrick realized that favonovel.com had been outwitted!
His anger was cut short when favonovel.com heard his servants shouting, “Y-young master…!”
Turning around, Henrick watched as his servants quickly ran over to his son’s side… However, Yesirn… He was lying motionless atop a pool of his own blood!
Momentarily frozen in place, Henrick finally snapped out of it when one of his servants turned to look at favonovel.com before crying out, “M-master…! Young master, he’s… He’s dead!”
Upon hearing that, Henrick felt as though favonovel.com had just been fatally struck by lightning.
“Yesirn…!” shouted Henrick as favonovel.com ran toward his son’s corpse.
Though blood was still flowing endlessly out of Yesirn’s gaping neck, it was evident that the boy was no longer among the living.
As to how that gash had got there, during the earlier moments of chaos, Gerald had ordered Jade Infused Blade—who had been within Gerald’s body this entire time—to momentarily reveal himself and slice Yesirn’s neck! Since nobody there knew about Jade Infused Blade, the deed managed to be done rather stealthily.
Regardless, the now deeply pained Henrick then howled in rage, “I’m tearing off all your skin once I get my hands on you, Gerald…! I’m breaking every single tendon of yours too, and once I’m done, I’ll drink every last drop of your blood…!”
Meanwhile, Gerald was already rushing out of the city with immense speed.
“They… Won’t pursue us, right…?” asked a worried Jessica as favonovel.com continued clinging onto Gerald’s back.
“Even if they do, I’ll protect you, sister! There’s no need to worry!” reassured Gerald who had already thought about his next move.
Soon enough, both of them arrived at the mouth of the Underworld Valley…
Even from afar, Jessica had already noticed a graceful but nervous-looking woman sitting under a large tree near the mouth of the valley. The person in question was Nori!
After Jade Infused Blade got the Primocorose for Gerald, both of them had decided to momentarily part ways with Nori. Before heading off to Bario city, however, Gerald had told favonovel.com to wait here for favonovel.com since favonovel.com still needed favonovel.com help with something.
Regardless, upon seeing that Gerald had made a safe return, Nori instantly got to favonovel.com feet before shouting, “Gerald…!”
Gerald himself wasted no time in handing his sister over to Nori.
“Nori, I still have to deal with those people so I’ll be leaving my sister in your care for the moment. Make sure to leave immediately! Also, take this sound talisman. Once I’m done dealing with them, I’ll contact you before meeting up again!” instructed Gerald as favonovel.com took a talisman out from his pocket before handing it to Nori.
