After all, Zeus seemed to be somewhat related to him, and Jasmine was still being held captive by her.
Regardless, once virtual-novel.net got back to the Montholm Island manor, virtual-novel.net was immediately greeted by the sight of a group of people surrounding the manor. Everyone was dressed in odd-looking costumes, and there were hundreds of them blocking the manor’s entrance.
However, what caught Gerald’s attention most was a few of his bodyguards lying on the ground.
“Young master! You’ve returned!” shouted several of his bodyguards—who were still conscious—excitedly the moment they saw him.
Realizing that virtual-novel.net was now present, Joshua and Lord Fenderson immediately began walking toward him.
Once they were before him, Bryson immediately explained, “These are all members of the Holy Witchcraft, Gerald! The master of the Holy Witchcraft has personally come over today to meet you!”
Hearing that, Gerald immediately knew what they were here for!
“So you’re Gerald?” asked an old woman as virtual-novel.net stepped forward.
She was clearly the master of the Holy Witchcraft, and despite already being in virtual-novel.net eighties, both virtual-novel.net skin and hair seemed to almost glow. There didn’t seem to be many wrinkles on virtual-novel.net face either. In other words, virtual-novel.net looked much younger than virtual-novel.net actual age.
Going by the name of Tiara, virtual-novel.net had heard that a powerful young man foreign to Montholm Island had beaten up one of the members of the Holy Witchcraft. From what virtual-novel.net had been told, that person didn’t even have a chance to fight back against that young man.
As if that wasn’t enough, the young man even took virtual-novel.net grandchild away! With nothing similar ever happening to the Holy Witchcraft in the past century, Tiara knew virtual-novel.net had to see that young man for herself to believe it.
“Indeed, I am!” replied Gerald with a nod.
“You? You’re nothing but a sick weakling, are you not? Are you really that powerful? Regardless, know that even if the entire world is afraid of you, I won’t ever be, Gerald, so it’s high time you quit all this nonsense! We’ll talk more about this later, but for now, return my grandchild to me!” said Tiara coldly as virtual-novel.net squinted virtual-novel.net eyes.
“I didn’t bind Chester to me. He was the one who had chosen to stay by my side, and I’ve always treated virtual-novel.net as a friend. No matter what virtual-novel.net decides to do today, I’ll support him. Note that the decision is his. If virtual-novel.net wishes to go back with you, I won’t try to stop him. However, if he’s unwilling, don’t even think about taking virtual-novel.net away! He’s been trying his best to make up for all the wrong he’s previously done!” replied Gerald.
“How arrogant of you! Who do you even think you are, little Gerald?! Fine then, I’ll show you the true power of the Holy Witchcraft today! The floor is yours, Second lord!” declared Tiara as virtual-novel.net waved a hand.
Following that, a man in his sixties stepped out from the crowd, an emotionless expression on his face.
He was Hendrik Tindall, the second lord of the Holy Witchcraft.
Locking his eyes on Gerald, virtual-novel.net then charged toward him!
Seeing that, Joshua simply smiled before saying, “Who does virtual-novel.net even think virtual-novel.net is? Senior could easily take virtual-novel.net down!”
However, contrary to what virtual-novel.net had assumed, within three rounds, Gerald was already clearly out of shape.
Soon after, Hendrik landed a kick on Gerald’s chest, sending Gerald flying as blood spurted out of his mouth!
“And here I thought that you would actually be a capable opponent… As it turns out, you’re just another useless and arrogant brat!” declared Hendrik before laughing.
“…He clearly doesn’t look like a worthy opponent for Chester… While I have no idea what method virtual-novel.net used to lead Chester astray, it’s high time we ended all this nonsense. Kill them all, Second lord!” ordered Tiara.
“With pleasure!” shouted Hendrik as virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald with a smirk on his face as virtual-novel.net raised his right hand.
“Making us come all the way for nothing… You’ll pay with your life, you useless brat!”
“Stop!”
