Willie had always thought that Gerald was nothing more than a mere acquaintance. He had never thought that Gerald would ever make it this far. Due to that, he had always looked down upon him. In the past, Willie had even tried his best to avoid him, just to prevent Gerald from asking him for help. Now however, all these famous figures were calling him Mr. Crawford. The mysterious Mr. Crawford of Mayberry turned out to be Gerald this entire time! This fact was… Willie gulped hard. His mind was blank and the realization of the situation was akin to a massive slap to his face. He was so shocked that the corner of his mouth was even twitching. Leila herself was covering her mouth with both her hands, equally as shocked as her father. It wasn’t any different for the Winters who all looked shocked to their cores. However, it was Waxham’s two daughters who had it the worst. It had never occurred to them that Gerald would ever be the actual Mr. Crawford. No wonder he was so rich

Willie knew that Gerald had purposely made him wait for that long. After all, he had made Gerald go through a similarly long wait in the past. While this was happening, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding down the roads of Yanken. It seemed to be heading toward Mayberry. Sitting at the back of the car was a stylish and young, rich woman. To be frank, ‘woman’ would be an overstatement since she looked more like a young lady who had freshly graduated from university. “Are we there yet?” asked the lady as she opened her eyes slowly. She was focused on the scenery outside the car’s window. “We’re almost in Mayberry City, miss!” replied the chauffeur. “Tell the cars behind us to catch up!” ordered the lady after hearing that. The chauffeur then did as she ordered by relaying the order through a walkie-talkie. Behind the Phantom, around twenty Maybach cars followed closely. Any other cars on the road had to make way for this group of expensive-looking cars. “Mayberry City and it

By then, Gerald had already returned to the dormitory. When Harper and Benjamin saw him, they immediately rushed over to give him a big hug. “Welcome back, Gerald!” He was very pleased to see them as well. In no time at all, the three of them started chatting and catching up with one another. Gerald had returned to the campus first just to see Harper and Benjamin. He would later still have to head to his company. As the trio continued chatting with one another, the dormitory door suddenly creaked open. Gerald was startled when he saw an unfamiliar girl standing at the door. “Brother!” shouted the girl happily as she looked at Harper. “Hello, Benjamin! And you must be Gerald, right?” “That I am. Nice to meet you! Are you Harper’s younger sister?” asked Gerald. “I am! My name’s Roseanne! You’re so handsome, Gerald!” replied Roseanne with a smile. “Speaking of which, my brother told me that he’s bringing me out for lunch with my new roommates later. Are you coming al

“W-what? Where is he now?” replied Roseanne as she trembled in shock. “Follow me!” The group of girls then ran after her immediately. When they arrived at the scene, Roseanne saw both Harper and Benjamin bleeding profusely on the ground. “Brother!” “Roseanne! I’m fine but those people… They were ruthless!” Though Harper was used to fighting, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear as he replayed the scene from earlier in his mind. When the group of men started beating them up, the duo had naturally tried to fight back. However, Dante was able to lift them with just one hand. After receiving a swift kick from Dante, Harper felt his world turn black. The same went for Benjamin. Neither of them ever stood a fighting chance, and both of them ended up being beaten up badly. “Who’s responsible for this? I’m calling the police right now!” cried out Roseanne. Before she could do so, Harper grabbed her hand first. “Call Gerald, I think those people were after him instead!”

“We’ve already approached them about the matter. However, they refused to admit to having any part of this!” replied Zack. Whatever the case was, Gerald knew that the top priority now was for him to personally meet up with Xavia so that they could talk things over clearly. “Take good care of them and keep an eye on my two buddies as well. I’ll handle the rest immediately!” replied Gerald. Since all this was happening because of him, he needed to deal with it personally. He wasn’t really afraid of the Long family. To be honest, if the matter was truly urgent, he could just mobilize and use his family’s biggest weapon. Even if the Long family from Yanken was very powerful, Gerald would be able to take them down indiscriminately. However, no matter what the case was, Gerald had already summarized that Xavia only became this heartless and distorted since he had treated her the same way in the past. There was no use crying over spilled milk. In order to proceed, he would first
