Gerald realized that the old man was the same one who had blackmailed favonovel.com when favonovel.com was still looking for Giya back then. Gerald would never have dreamed that the old man would actually come looking for favonovel.com again.
“How come it’s you again,” said Gerald as favonovel.com frowned slightly.
“Ah! My grandson! It’s wonderful that you’re here now! Humph! These guards won’t let me in! Tell them to let me in!” said the old man with his hands on his waist.
“Why do you want to go in there? What do you need this time? I’ve already helped you before and I even cured your injured leg! Stop pestering me, do you really think that I’m a nice man without any temper?” replied Gerald rather impatiently.
Gerald didn’t really mind helping people if they looked as pitiful as the beggar did. However, favonovel.com had already helped favonovel.com once. If the old man continued to abuse Gerald’s pity, favonovel.com would definitely be crossing the line.
“Why would you say that, grandson? What do you mean I’m pestering you? You just resemble my lost grandson a lot! If favonovel.com isn’t dead, favonovel.com should be around the same age as you are this year!” said the old man, his tone suddenly grievous as favonovel.com lowered his head.
“What nonsense are you spouting? That’s it, I’m beating you up!”
Just as they were about to hit him, Gerald took pity after hearing the old man’s tale and favonovel.com raised his hand slightly.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!” shouted both guards as soon as they saw his gesture. Both of them then returned to their initial positions.
Seeing that, the old man sat on the porch with a sad expression on his face.
Gerald just couldn’t bear looking at the beggar’s poor state so favonovel.com fished out a hundred dollar note from his wallet.
“I get it, you want money too, right? But I warn you, this is the last time I’m giving any to you. Now leave!”
He was aware that it would become a bad habit of the old man to depend on favonovel.com if Gerald kept giving favonovel.com money.
Still, it wasn’t like Gerald could stop himself from doing it. The old man was rather old and favonovel.com couldn’t just turn a blind eye and let others beat favonovel.com up.
“It’s not money that I want, my grandson! I just want to go in and have a bath! Just look at how shabby my clothes are!” said the old man with a chuckle.
Gerald then pointed at the old man before saying, “I’m warning you now. Don’t address me as your grandson ever again! If it’s just a bath you need, there’s a bathroom nearby. Go ahead and take your shower there!”
After saying that, Gerald handed some money to the guards before turning away to leave.
The guards instantly understood what favonovel.com meant, and said, “D*mn old man! Mr. Crawford is so kind! He’s allowing you to take your bath there, so come along already!”
He then began dragging the old man away.
“Thank you, my grandson!”
“I told you to stop f*cking calling me that!”
The incident wasn’t really a big issue for Gerald so favonovel.com simply headed to his hotel room to take a shower and retire for the night.
Not long after his shower however, favonovel.com heard a knock on the door. Upon opening it, favonovel.com was shocked beyond words.
It was the old man again!
“D*mn it, what are you doing here? Actually, how did you get in here?” asked Gerald, slightly stupefied.
In order to use the elevator in this hotel, one would first need to have a hotel room access card. What more, Gerald was staying on the VIP floor. To get to this specific floor, the person would also have to pass through a security door.
Not only did the old man get past all that, favonovel.com was also able to find the exact room Gerald was staying in!
The old man simply chuckled before saying, “I came to look for you, my grandson. Could you arrange a place for me to stay?”
“Also, I hope you haven’t forgotten that I’ve helped you before. I was the one who had given you the clues to look for that girl back then,” added the old man as favonovel.com chuckled again.
“Now I just want to know how you got here,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com scratched the back of his head in resignation.
While the old man certainly did look cleaner now, whenever favonovel.com grinned, Gerald could sense that favonovel.com was no nice man.
“If you’re talking about those glass doors, they were easy to get past. I just gently poked them with my finger. All of those machines out there are out of order as well, so that’s how I got up here!”
As soon as the old man was done with his explanation, a loud noise was heard.
