Since there were so many people present earlier and she was already feeling so uncomfortable back then, Vincy had gotten off the electric tricycle in a hurry. She must’ve forgotten to take her bag along with her at that moment! “Oh no, how careless of you! Did you have a lot of cash in it?” asked Xyla. “Having my money stolen is the last thing I’m worried about! I just hope that Gerald eventually notices it! If it gets left behind, my cell phone, identity card, and bank cards will all be gone!” replied Vincy. “Hey! Why are you doing back here? Does this look like a car park to you?” At that moment, a commotion could be heard from the entrance. Upon closer inspection, a few security guards seemed to be trying to prevent a young man from entering the area. “My friend’s forgotten her bag! I just want to pass it to her!” The young man in question was none other than Gerald! “Have a good look at what kind of place this is! Do you think that anyone can just enter this place all
Vincy herself simply lowered her head without saying a word. Meanwhile, Xavion finally realized that Gerald was present and when he did, he became so excited that his lips began trembling. “M-Mr. Crawford! You’re here!” Assuming that Gerald hadn’t wanted to attend the party since he looked down on all the ordinary rich people who were attending, Xavion didn’t continue pestering him after that call. Yet here he was, standing before him right now! “Greetings, Mr. Crawford!” said Mr. Larson and his group, replying to Gerald’s earlier greeting as they took a step forward before bowing slightly before him. At that moment, silence enveloped the entire area. Many of the guests were so surprised that their jaws were now hanging wide. Why were all these wealthy and powerful figures bowing down to this young man who had arrived on an electric tricycle? What more, Chairman Gordon appeared to be trembling earlier as he spoke! Xyla’s breathing was growing heavier by the minute. Her
Hearing Chairman Gordon’s stern voice, Xyla could no longer bring herself to laugh out loud anymore. …Was… Was it really true? Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever she saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take him seriously. It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much? Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him? How could any of this truly be? As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others. The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now. As he left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see him off. Before he was able to leave, Elena whispered something into her father’s ear before sticking her tongue out. She wanted to leave tog
Ignoring Yael’s question for the moment, Yunus then asked, “Didn’t you secretly take several photos? Let me see who else was there!” After being handed the photos, Yunus individually scanned through them before slamming his hands on the table in anger. He had found the perpetrator! “D*mn it all! It really is Gerald! It’s that god d*mned Mr. Crawford again!” Not only had Yunus been repeatedly humiliated by Gerald on his birthday, he had also been grounded the moment he returned that day! All the prestige he had accumulated over the years was gone. Just like that. Yunus hated that person to the core. “He’s Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?” asked Yael who had obviously heard about Gerald before. Hearing Yael’s question, Yunus took the opportunity to detail all his grudges and grievances against Gerald to him. “Hahaha! No wonder everything seemed to be running so smoothly for Jasmine despite not even utilizing any of the men from the Fenderson family! She had such a powerful perso
Upon screeching to a halt right beside Queta, a few people slid the van door open and immediately tried dragging her in! “Queta!” shouted Aunt Fenderson who was already returning from the shop by the time she saw the suspicious van driving toward her daughter. She then began running toward the poor girl who was desperately struggling to escape from her captors. The captors themselves were still trying to drag her into the van. In her anxiety, she bit down hard on one of the masked men’s arms! Shouting in pain, the already strong man then roughly pushed Queta aside, sending her falling straight for the ground! As a result, the back of Queta’s head hit a bump on the side of the road and she immediately fainted from the hard impact. By the time Xara got to the group of men, they were already carrying the now unconscious Queta into the van. In her attempt to prevent them from taking her away, Xara immediately began wildly hitting the men. However, no matter how desperately she
Though the picture itself was quite blurry, Gerald was certain that the person in it was Yunus Long. After all, how couldn’t he recognize the person he had nearly fallen victim to? “That’s him alright. After a little investigating, we found that he first arrived at the Salford Province a few days ago. While I understand that he has his reasons to take his revenge on you, I don’t quite get why he’d follow you all the way here just to do that!” replied Drake as he frowned. Gerald’s immediate response, however, was to punch the wall beside him. Hard. “I don’t care about him or even his motives. All I know is that Queta was innocent in this incident yet she nearly lost her life because of me! Drake, Tyson, I believe that Yunus hasn’t left the Salford Province yet. I need both of you to track him down and capture him for me! Regardless of the methods you use, make sure he doesn’t leave the Salford Province scot-free!” said Gerald angrily as looked at the unconscious Queta through th
“Where are we now?” asked Yunus, his face pale as a sheet. “I’m not too sure either… While we’ve been able to escape from Gerald’s men when we bumped into them on the main road, we strayed too far off and it’s only barren land around us now!” replied the driver, his legs quivering in fear. While they had earlier assumed that they were going to escape just fine, they hadn’t expected Gerald’s men to intercept them out of the blue on the main road leading to Merry City! Thankfully, night was already approaching by then and since the driver was an expert, he managed to eventually shake them off. Though they had successfully evaded Gerald’s men for the moment, they were now also lost. “Why do I even pay you then?! B*stard!” shouted Yunus. They were already far from the city and the gloominess of the surrounding area only served to make Yunus even more depressed. It was around then when the sound of motor engines could be heard in the distance, the cold night breeze further sen
After talking on the phone for a while, the middle-aged man’s face suddenly turned deathly pale. “I-is that so…? I’ve deeply troubled you, Mr. Schuyler! I’ll send someone over immediately!” All the color seemed to have drained from his face as he hurriedly said, “According to the Schuyler family, Yunus has gone missing in the Salford Province!” “…Huh? W-what should we do then?!” “For now, I’m sending someone over there. Tell Second to immediately send someone there as well!” replied the man in an anxious voice. “Second? But he…” “First and I can’t leave. Our only option is to have a family member personally deal with the matter. For that reason, it should be fine for Second to represent the family there. I’ll tell Mr. Hobson to follow him as well!” Hearing that, the woman simply nodded. Meanwhile, Gerald finally arrived at the cliff on his helicopter. The cliff was deep and according to the report from his subordinates, they could hardly find complete pieces of the ca
