The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 386 - Chapter 386 Chapter 385 The Curtain Falls

Chapter 386: Chapter 385: The Curtain Falls Chapter 386: Chapter 385: The Curtain Falls As the physical bodies of the two candidates were “vomited” onto the ground in good condition,

the audience on site also sighed in relief, the loss of such talents would be a huge blow to the entire organization.

Jin even secretly held the Blood Baby in her hand, ready to devote everything to slice open the Insomniac Galon’s abdomen if William did not make it out alive, ready to retrieve the complete corpse… she was even prepared to face death completely.

When she saw William, covered in slime and raising his hand in surrender, Jin quickly put the Blood Baby back and a smile crept beneath her mask, a smile so wide it was almost as if she would rip the corners of her mouth.

This was the “ending” she most hoped to see.

Jin never hoped for William to become the First Gentleman, as it would deepen the bonds between him and the organization, perhaps even leading to full restraint. She had always hoped that William would leave Zion with her and start a journey wandering the world.

With that,

the Skin Promotion concluded successfully, and aside from the death of Peeler Alex, the rest of the candidates survived.

The worst injured was Miss Jessica, but she had already repaired half of her body under the skin transplantation treatment of President Tailor Spacy and could make a full recovery with sufficient rest, leaving no sequela.

Spacy, far from resenting his apprentice’s injuries, looked at the Insomniac Galon in the field with great satisfaction:

“Having such a person become ‘First Gentleman’ could truly bring about a revolution for Zion… Claude, too, can leave with ease.”

Then, Spacy raised his voice and spread it throughout the entire church area using the vibration of the skin.

“The ceremony for the succession of the ‘First Gentleman’ will now commence, all those not being promoted must leave immediately.”

The First Gentleman Claude, bound in iron chains on the Altar, could no longer utter a word; he needed to conserve the last flicker of life inside of him to ensure the perfect execution of the ‘succession’.

In the center of the church,

Yi Chen pulled up the sleeping Mandy and, as if carrying a corpse, hoisted him over his shoulder and left with the others.

As they ascended the spiral staircase, a surge of violent killing intent assaulted them from behind.

Slap! The sound of a palm striking flesh resounded.

The newcomer was Prophet Yuri, whose unsealed right hand delivered a slap directly to Mandy’s buttocks, the killing intent in his palm piercing like a dagger straight into the spine.

Mandy instantly woke up, his body going rigid,

and the stress response from being poked in the coccyx sent him flying off like a human RPG resting on Yi Chen’s shoulder, headfirst into the wall of the corridor.

As the rubble fell,

Mandy, rubbing his eyes, pulled his head out of the wall, clueless about what had just happened.

At that moment, a blood-stained arm flew towards him at high speed.

Instinctively, Mandy swung his severed limb, perfectly connecting with the incoming arm, and his skin immediately fused together for a superfast repair, with the liquid skin acting as an adhesive to fully reconnect the nerves within seconds.

Yuri’s reprimanding voice followed, “Still asleep, Mandy? The promotion has already ended. You need to seriously work on this laziness, come to my room tonight.”

“Ah… my apologies!”

Mandy quickly got up, continuously apologizing.

“Though, your performance during the promotion wasn’t bad, but I believe you also saw the gap… Work hard when you get back, and you can put off making dummies for a while.”

“Understood.”

Mandy was very sensible, and with one quick step, he was beside Prophet Yuri, assisting with the wheelchair.

It wasn’t until Prophet Yuri was fully bandaged and re-entered into “Sealing status” that Mandy dared to turn his head and whisper to William at his side:

“Indeed, even if we both exerted our full strength, we still wouldn’t be able to handle such a monster. Sigh, don’t say I’m being negative. From the moment I saw that monster’s first competition, where it devoured half of Miss Jessica in a single bite, I basically anticipated this outcome.

Frankly, at the moment I was swallowed, I thought I was dead for sure. I didn’t expect to just fall asleep… This fellow really is as you said, even in combining with an unknown monster, he retains the dignity of a gentleman.

Perhaps his becoming the First Gentleman might indeed bring about significant changes for the organization.”

Yi Chen nodded in agreement. “Hmm, Galon is indeed a very fine gentleman… Only, the situation at the Skin Factory is still completely unknown. I hope his ascension proceeds smoothly.”

As everyone stepped out of the Divine Skin Mansion’s main gate,

the clergy once again sealed the mansion. Even the entirety of the residence was engulfed in a thick layer of skin-like fog, an environment of Full Restraint that would persist until the handover ceremony was completely over.

During this time, any matters pertaining to ‘Gentleman’s Skin’ will halt, and most gentlemen will also remain in Zion, ensuring the return of the First Gentleman.

As the group crossed over the Black Bridge outside the Divine Skin Mansion, the other end of the bridge was already crowded with a throng of gentlemen who came to personally witness the two people who put on a splendid performance yet were narrowly defeated in the final ascension,

Even if they only followed the competition deep in the mansion through text broadcasts,

the ‘Restriction Release’ demonstrated by Yi Chen and Mandy had been conceived in their minds, completely textbook level, especially the former, who was so young to have reached such an extent.

The name William Behrens was now known throughout the city.

“William, you’ve become quite famous now. From now on, you might need to disguise yourself well when you go out, or the streets where you are might be completely surrounded by crowds,” Principal Desline said teasingly.

“Haha…” Yi Chen could only respond with a chuckle.

“Having not become the First Gentleman, what are you planning to do next?”

“After staying with the organization for a while, I may leave Zion for an extended period to embark on a prolonged journey to the Old World.”

“You’re going to the Skin Factory?”

“Correct… since I can’t contact the Skin Factory in the capacity of the First Gentleman, I’ll have to make the trip myself.”

“It seems you have something very important and confidential that must be dealt with in person at the Skin Factory. I believe you’re prepared for it.

However, as the Principal, I still suggest you further improve your skills before heading there. The instability of the Old World is much greater than you imagine. At the very least, bring your Star Magic to the next level, so it can help you quickly escape the most perilous situations and avoid a lot of trouble.”

“Indeed… had it not been for the use of Star Magic, I probably would have lost early on and wouldn’t have been able to hold out to the end.

Can I visit your office today? How about we start intensive training tonight?”

“Don’t you ever tire?

You were also rushing back from outside just before the deadline for the Skin Promotion. Now that it’s finally over, you’re prepared to delve into Star Magic again at my place… but well~ I do quite like such a ‘diligent’ student.

As per our previously agreed ‘equivalent trade,’ you’ll need to provide enough ‘coins,’ and then I will offer the corresponding study guidance.”

“Rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you, Principal.”

Desline traced her finger across her cheek, a slight smile peeking from beneath the Crying Mask, anticipation growing within her.

To curb this inexplicable excitement, she quickly changed the subject. “What happened after you were pulled into Galon’s body? Based on how you looked when you were ejected, you seemed rather content, and you immediately forfeited.”

“I saw the essence of Galon. He was more in need and more suited to be the First Gentleman than I.”

“That’s settled then. Later, tell me about the Otherworld you saw while I massage your legs.”

“No problem.”
