âBut of course! Please, follow me!â replied the staff as he led Gerald and Nori into another hall.
Upon entering, a multitude of talismans could be seen hung dazzlingly on the walls. With all of them seeming to have varying levels of quality, Gerald quickly began browsing to see which ones he needed.
Thankfully, the ones inside this hall were much affordable, ranging only from prices between a few thousand to several million dollars.
It took him about an hour, but by the time Gerald was finally done, he had bought a few hundred middle and high-quality talismans. He got himself a few dozen rare quality ones as well.
In total, the final sum amounted to a whopping hundred and thirty million dollars! Naturally, Gerald had used his own money to cover the extra costs. Still, Gerald now knew how pricey these talismans could get!
Even so, they were a necessary purchase. After all, he wanted to have them ready for self-defense and also in case of emergencies. The best thing about talismans was that not only did they have varying functionalities and powers, but they were also easily carried around and used.
Regardless, now that he was done shopping for talismans, both Nori and Gerald left the Talisman Hall.
Now that they were out, Nori turned to look at Gerald before asking, âSo⦠What do you intend to do next?â
Not seeing the need to hide anything, Gerald then replied, âIâm heading to Sunniva City on earth!â
âOh? Why?â asked Nori in a curious tone.
âWell, there are still a few Quartermains I havenât taken out yet⦠More specifically, I havenât exterminated those from the second clan of the Quartermains, the Quantocks of Sunniva City!â
explained Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Nori understood what Gerald had earlier meant when he said he still had business to attend to. Sure enough, if he didnât take care of the Quantocks as soon as possible, they would surely cause him future troubles.
ââ¦I see! Well, please be careful, alright? And if you need any help, you can just contact me and Iâll try my best to lend you my aid!â replied Nori.
âIâll keep that in mind!â said Gerald with a smile before rapidly leaping awayâ¦
Staring at his quickly disappearing back, Nori wondered whether he would one day accept herâ¦
Meanwhile, Johnie had finally managed to limp all the way home in his wretched state. With his hair messy and his usual temperamentâas the young master of the Lager familyâcompletely gone, Johnie now looked more like a beggar than anythingâ¦
Upon noticing Johnieâs return, a manâwho honestly looked quite similar to Johnieâfound himself surprised as he asked, âJohnie? What happened to you? How did you end up like this?â
âI⦠I was beaten up by someone, brotherâ¦!â replied Johnie as he looked at Jonas Lager with a defeated expression.
Jonas was Johnieâs eldest brother, and he had entered the First-soul-rank of the Sage Realm.
With such great strength, Jonas was also a member of the Fury Squad, one of the more well-hidden underground forces in Jaellatra. The Fury Squadâs members consisted of a group of assassins as well as strong cultivators. Together, their job was to accomplish missions given to them.
âWhat? To think that someone would actually dare to beat you up! Tell me who that man is so that I can avenge you!â roared Jonas.
âI⦠I donât know him very well⦠I only know that he seems to be Noriâs boyfriend!â replied Johnie in a bitter tone, feeling both angered and pained every time he thought about Gerald.
After all, for the young master of the Lager family to be beaten up by some brat⦠It truly was a disgrace to the Lagers!
âSo, the Zahns are involved! It appears that theyâre getting more and more arrogant as time goes onâ¦!
How dare they go against our familyâ¦!â
