Looking at the same direction Gerald was, Quest saw that a team of similar-looking cars had just parked at the foot of Yorknorth Mountain. Upon squinting his eyes, favonovel.com realized that Gerald was looking at two women who had just gotten out of one of the cars.
Seeing how stunned Gerald looked, Quest placed a finger under his chin as favonovel.com said with a hint of interest in his tone, “Humph! You’re a grown-up, aren’t you Mr. Crawford? Are you going to tell me now that you’ve never seen beauties before? Though I have to admit that those two women are particularly stunning.”
“Hush!” replied Gerald, his gaze stern as favonovel.com continued looking at the two women.
Gerald really hadn’t expected to bump into the two girls here of all places. The two beauties were in fact his old acquaintances, Jasmine and Mindy.
He hadn’t met the two girls from the time favonovel.com had bid farewell with them about half a year ago in the Salford Province.
After all, after the incident at the Fenderson family mansion, his father had told favonovel.com that favonovel.com was contractually bound to have a marriage with Jasmine. Upon finding out that his grandfather had been the one to sign the contract, Gerald could only feel helpless back then.
However, favonovel.com understood his grandfather’s motive. It was the trend back then to have strong alliances, after all.
Snapping out of it, Gerald then told Quest to stop the engine.
His intent wasn’t to continue spying on them, nor was it for favonovel.com to greet and catch up with them. The truth was, Gerald had noticed two figures seemingly stalking both Jasmine and Mindy from a distance. The stalkers were simply too suspicious for Gerald to ignore.
“Are you done looking at them yet, Mr. Crawford? They’re already ascending the mountain,” said Quest.
“I’m waiting for them to go a bit higher. Just wait here in the meantime.”
After making sure that the two girls had ascended quite a distance, Gerald silently got out of the car and began inching toward the two sneaky people.
“F*cking hell! Is favonovel.com actually planning to catch up with the two beauties to have a chat with them?” said Quest in resignation.
He then looked at Naomi before saying, “…Wait here, I’ll go over there to see what he’s up to.”
With that, favonovel.com walked up to Gerald.
Noticing that Quest was coming his way, Gerald waved at favonovel.com before saying, “You came at the right time. See those two over there? They seem to be proficient in martial arts. I need you to taunt them. Once they start going after you, lead them to that corridor over there.”
“What exactly are you hoping to achieve?”
“Just do it! Quickly!” ordered Gerald as favonovel.com pushed Quest forward.
Seeing that favonovel.com didn’t really have a choice, Quest stood before the two men, shouting all sorts of profanities to get their attention. Gerald himself quickly got into position.
While it was true that favonovel.com was now meddling in the affairs of both Jasmine and Mindy to a certain degree, Gerald wasn’t doing it for the sake of it. He wasn’t doing it because of the marriage contract his grandfather had signed either.
Rather, favonovel.com was only doing this for his aunt and Queta’s safety. After all, they too were members of the Fenderson family.
Since those from the Fenderson family could now be considered to be relatives and in-laws to the Crawfords, Gerald doubted that the Schuylers—the Fenderson family’s former enemies—would even dare do anything bad to them. Knowing that made favonovel.com even more curious to find out who the stalkers were working for.
As was expected, Quest was the prime candidate when it came to taunting. It didn’t take long for the two stalkers to begin chasing after him.
Upon running into the corridor, however, one of them immediately sensed that something was wrong and shouted, “Hold it! We’re being lured into a trap!”
Just as both men turned around to retreat, a dark figure flashed past them.
Before either of them could even react, the figure launched an extremely fluid motion. It took a second for them to realize the searing sensation on their chests. The pain was so great that it didn’t take long for both men to start screaming in agony as they fell to the ground.
“Y-you… Who are you…? Do you even know who you’re dealing with…?” warned one of the men as favonovel.com held onto his chest while trying to get up.
In the end, however, both of them weren’t even able to sit upright, let alone stand.
“I have no idea who you are, but know this. If you don’t answer my questions honestly, you won’t make it out alive,” said Gerald coldly as favonovel.com slipped a hand into his pocket before squatting down to take a closer look at the two stalkers.
Hearing that, both of them felt immense chills running down their spines.
