Almost instantly after, the sounds of wine glasses and plates clattering against each other could be heard.
When everyone turned to look at who was causing the racket, they saw that Berk, Noah, and Yael were all holding on to the table as they shivered tremendously in horror!
They had reason to be this terrified. After all, all three of them were aware of how mighty the Moldells were. Yet Gerald had just taken four of them out, right before their very eyes!
As Gerald took a step forward, Berk immediately fell to the ground, shouting, “P-please don’t kill me, Gerald! Spare me, please!”
The over two hundred pound, brawny man was currently so terrified that mucous was dripping all the way down to his chin.
“Spare you? It was six months ago when I fled to the Salford Province you know? I had over thirty brothers and now none of them are alive because of your men. They were all my friends from Mayberry! Why didn’t you spare them then?” said Gerald terrifyingly calmly as favonovel.com patted Berk’s head.
“I-it was wrong of me to do so! It was all my fault! Gerald, pleas-”
Before his sentence could even end, Gerald smacked favonovel.com hard on the back of his head. It was as though nothing Berk had said even mattered to Gerald. The next thing everyone knew, Berk’s eyes were bleeding as favonovel.com flopped lifelessly to the ground with one final grunt.
As screams filled the air, all color drained from the Schuyler father and son. Both of them immediately found themselves retreating to a corner of the room. The person before them was no longer human… It was as though they were staring at the devil himself!
His attention now on the two quivering men, Gerald took a seat as favonovel.com poured himself a glass of wine.
After biting into an abalone, favonovel.com swallowed before saying, “So, I heard that both of you have been looking for me all over the Salford Province. You spent no small amount to hunt me down as well, as I recall. Well, here I am now. What do you need from me?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com stared at them in the eye.
“T-there’s nothing we need… Really! There’s nothing important that we want!” stuttered Noah in fear.
‘Nothing? Come now, you already spent all that cash looking for me. And here I was thinking that it must’ve been something extremely important! That was honestly the only reason why both of you are still alive today!’ sneered Gerald in response as favonovel.com finished the abalone and downed the glass of wine till there was nothing left.
Patting his thighs, Gerald then got up and began walking toward the two Schuylers. With every step that favonovel.com took, the roars of thunder outside only seemed to grow louder and louder…
Until finally, the clashes stopped and so did the rain.
It was sometime later when bright lights were shone upon the Schuyler family mansion. The lights were so jarring that anyone from the inside could’ve easily assumed that it was noontime.
Silently, a caped figure grabbed a bag of things before leaving the Schuyler family house, undetected, and disappearing into the night.
When morning finally came, the weather was crisp due to the rain that had fallen the night before.
Inside a large storeroom, over ten mattresses could be seen laid out all over the place, and sleeping on them, were Jasmine and favonovel.com group from the night before.
Upon hearing slowly fading footsteps, Jasmine’s eyelids fluttered. It only took a split second for the girl to jolt awake and sit at attention. Looking around, favonovel.com saw that Maia and the others were still sleeping comfortably.
Since daylight was already peeking through the windows yet nobody appeared to be outside the storeroom, Jasmine became curious, prompting favonovel.com to shout, “Hey, wake up! Wake up, everyone!”
“What’s the matter, Jasmine…? I’m still sleepy…!” mumbled Maia as favonovel.com yawned.
“Look around! There’s nobody left here but us!” said Jasmine.
Hearing that, everyone soon realized how odd that was.
“Indeed… I wonder where they went off to? There were quite a few others with us here last night but we didn’t even hear them leaving!”
