Gerald, who had attempted to escape was blocked from all sides.
After that, the car door was opened.
A group of bodyguards dressed in black walked out of the car.
Their leader was none other than Joel.
He was the father of the three young masters of the Long family.
“Hahaha! Why if it isn’t Mr. Crawford? Why the hurry? You going somewhere?”
A vicious look flashed across Joel’s face.
“I heard that you’ve announced your self-imposed exile from the Crawford family today. I couldn’t believe it at first but looking at you right now, Mr. Crawford, it seems like the rumors are true!” Joel said.
“You’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time now, aren’t you Joel? Instead of blabbering on and on about this, why don’t you take me away, as you’ve always wanted to!”
Gerald replied with a frown.
“Mr. Crawford, if it weren’t for the fact that I had been given strict orders not to take any action against you, I would have started hacking away the moment our eyes met. I would have cut off your flesh piece by piece so that it can serve as a tribute to Yunus!”
Joel roared with a grim expression on his face and his eyes, bloodshot.
“Men, come! Take favonovel.com away!”
Joel commanded as favonovel.com waved his hand.
His subordinates approached Gerald immediately.
“Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!”
Out of nowhere came the roaring sound of a mighty engine.
A modified off-road vehicle suddenly rushed towards them from the side of the road.
It was heading straight for Gerald, who had been surrounded.
Krash!
The off-road vehicle crushed all of the cars in its way as it rushed directly towards Gerald. After that, a pair of hands reached out and pulled Gerald into the passenger compartment.
“After them! Don’t let them escape!” Joel roared.
The attack came and went as quick as lightning.
The headlights of the vehicle caught them completely off-guard, blinding Joel’s men as Gerald was rescued.
“Mr. Crawford, are you okay? Sorry, we’re late!”
At this moment, the brothers, Drake and Tyson spoke up.
“I’m fine. Thank God, the both of you came in time!” Gerald nodded.
“By the way, why are you here? Did my elder sister tell you to come here?” Gerald asked.
“Yeah, Miss Crawford knew that somebody would spring an attack on you as soon as you left Northbay. She sent us over to pick you up!”
“Mr. Crawford, what are your plans for the future?” Drake asked.
There were no other alternatives. If it was possible, the two brothers would be more than willing to continue helping Gerald. They were glad to remain by Gerald’s side to protect him.
But there were many eyes keeping tabs on the Crawford family right now.
They could not allow Kort to have anything to use against them.
So, it was okay for them to help Gerald once. But helping favonovel.com for the rest of his life was not going to happen.
“I am no longer Mr. Crawford. The both of you can just call me Gerald. I don’t know what is going to happen in the future but I’m going to Salford Province. I’d like to look for someone there!” Gerald replied after a brief moment of deliberation.
A specific someone had come up in his memories.
“Okay then, Mr. Crawford! We will escort you to Salford Province!”
Drake and Tyson replied.
“Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!”
Then came the sound of engines roaring.
Several modified off-road vehicles came rushing straight towards Drake and Tyson’s vehicle.
It was evident that these vehicles were being handled by the most skilled drivers around.
“F*ck!”
Drake hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel.
But it was too little too late. Simultaneously, these vehicles slammed into Drake’s vehicle, shaking the passengers up as if they were in a tin can
