Things aren't going as smoothly as he wants, Gerald hasn't been too worried. Worst-case scenario, Gerald must fight to get into the festival. Even with that in mind, Gerald still had little confidence that everything would work out in the end.
When thinking about the next step, Gerald— who was sitting in the back seat with eyes closed— suddenly opened his eyes before ordering, “....Perla, stop the car!”
"…Huh? What's up, Mister?” ask Perla, dumbfounded.
While watching his surroundings, Gerald then replied, “...We're being targeted by someone... And it seems like that person is not too far away from us!”
"What's? Could it be that Yaakov sent people to kill us? What the fuck! ” growled Perla.
"I doubt that. After all, the person trailing us has a very powerful aura. I have made sure to observe every extraordinary person I have met in the Waddys house before, and as far as I know, as far as I know, I am pretty sure that no one there is extraordinary enough to bear such a powerful aura, ” explained Gerald, still focused on the surroundings.
"Then allow me to stay behind and help you, Master!" Julian.
“No need for that. Just go with Perla. I want to see who this guy is first, ”gerald replied.
Before one of them could even answer, the two watched Gerald's body disappear from the car!
The night was dark and Gerald ran all the way to the riverbank which doubles as Jenna City's moat. Surrounded by a dense forest, Gerald listened carefully to the gentle rustling of leaves on many trees.
Despite knowing that and being able to see a little depression leaves when they are stepped on, Gerald cannot see the real person at all. Not even their shadow.
Suddenly, two different sounds rang out, and Gerald found himself tilted just in time to avoid the leaves and branches appearing out of nowhere!
Both of them moved so fast and with such great power that they actually felt like laser beams. The exact strength of the attack became apparent when the two projectiles completely destroyed a huge tree — thick enough to be hugged by three — adult men to pieces upon colliding!
Before he could ponder any further, Gerald was greeted by the sound of a terrifying demonic laughter.
“Stop laughing and show yourself..I'm here, right?” gerald replied casually.
Since the person deliberately let go of his sacred senses early, Gerald already had a premonition that he deliberately wanted to bring Gerald there. With that in mind, Gerald wanted to see who that person was and what his motives were.
After waiting patiently for a while, the strange laughter resumed. Simultaneously, a series of whirlwinds suddenly formed around Gerald out of nowhere! What a powerful aura!
Seeing that the attacker did not want to retaliate, Gerald who was now a little annoyed added, "Are you done?"
Following another laughter roar—which would make someone creep—from the darkness, a voice finally replied, “You're a young man, right? Be patient a little more!”
After feeling enough with the man's play, Gerald furrowed his brows before rushing in the direction he felt the man was entering …
And before long, he saw a white-haired old man—wearing a black robe— standing at the end of the tree.
Seeing that Gerald had noticed him, the man then jumped up before slowly descending—like a big bat—to the other end of the tree closer to the young man.
Once he was there, the old man tilted his head back before laughing out loud again, a terrifying voice echoed throughout the forest …
