“Could it be that… you like our master?” added Lucy as favonovel.com cupped favonovel.com mouth while laughing.
“Quit spouting nonsense, Lucy… I… I don’t have any other relatives to speak of! However, I will admit that I felt a sense of security the first time I laid eyes on master… It was the reason why I chose to stay. Also, regarding the liking part, how could someone like me ever be qualified to fall for someone like master?!” replied Yukie as favonovel.com blushed.
“Speaking of which, Lucy… I distinctly remembered that you wanted to return to your hometown even more than I did! Why didn’t you leave back then?” added Yukie.
“Well, I simply felt that master was a good person who wouldn’t abuse us like our previous ones… Adding that to the fact that favonovel.com respected us so much, I just felt obligated to stay and work for him! I do have a second reason for staying, however… Remember Tyson? He told me that favonovel.com would come pick me up in a little under a month back then! I didn’t want favonovel.com to have to hunt around for me so I simply stayed put here! That way, favonovel.com would be able to pick me up easily when the time came! However, since favonovel.com isn’t here yet, I’m assuming that he’s still undergoing his mission to save his brother. Once he’s done that, favonovel.com told me that he’d take me away before finally marrying me!” explained Lucy with a smile on favonovel.com face.
“I see… Still, do you truly believe everything that favonovel.com said? I mean yes, Tyson did save us before… However, I’ll be frank and say that I don’t think he’ll actually come over to take you away! Have you prepared yourself for that possibility…?” said Yukie as favonovel.com attempted to lower Lucy’s expectations so that favonovel.com wouldn’t end up getting too hurt if Tyson never came.
“Don’t worry, I get where you’re coming from… However, I’ve chosen to have faith in Tyson. He’ll definitely come looking for me once favonovel.com saves his brother! After all, we’ve already gotten engaged! Be it within this month, a year, or a lifetime, I’ll still be waiting patiently for him!” declared Lucy as favonovel.com cupped favonovel.com blushing cheeks.
“Alright then! Still, it’s pretty rare to see you being this devoted! Also, I’m already done with the mushrooms so come along and let’s make some soup for sir!”
With that, both of the girls exited their room, chatting and laughing happily as they left for the kitchen.
A little while later, a group of men could be seen making their way through the jungle atop a huge mountain located north of the Royal Dragon Group.
The group itself consisted of over a hundred men who had been divided into five teams. Whistler and his four brothers were each given a team to be in charge of.
While the men trained on, Yukie and Lucy made their own way toward their master who was sitting on a lounge chair as favonovel.com drank his tea while two bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood attentively on either side of his chair. One of the guards had his arms behind his back while the other held on to an umbrella, keeping Gerald constantly under the shade.
“We’ve made some bird’s nest for you, sir! Do try some!” said Yukie as favonovel.com handed favonovel.com the thermos which favonovel.com had been carrying along with her.
“You didn’t have to go through all that trouble! Thank you!” said Gerald with a smile as favonovel.com lowered his tea and took the thermos.
Yukie herself couldn’t help but smile sweetly in response.
As favonovel.com continued looking at him, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel that Gerald’s body and physique seemed to change constantly!
After all, favonovel.com distinctly remembered that the muscles on Gerald’s body weren’t that huge sometime ago… However, they seemed to have suddenly gained a lot of mass out of the blue in the past few days!
This was the second time Yukie was witnessing such a scenario…
Before favonovel.com could wonder any further about his physicality, rapid footsteps could be heard approaching them.
Turning around, all of them then saw Whistler running toward Gerald together with his team. From what they could see, a few of his men at the back were carrying a man’s body.
“Sir! We found this unconscious man while we were up in the mountains earlier! He has serious injuries all over his body and favonovel.com seems to have fainted for at least a few days by now! He’s slowly dying as we speak! What should we do, sir?” announced Whistler as his subordinates slowly lowered the injured man to the ground.
Frowning, Gerald turned to look at the injured man… However, the moment favonovel.com saw the man’s face, his heart instantly began beating rapidly.
Lucy, on the other hand, was now quivering so much that the tray favonovel.com was holding onto soon clattered on the floor.
“Tyson?!” shouted both of them in unison.
While Gerald immediately stood up from his shock, Lucy was already crying as favonovel.com crouched beside the injured man.
The dying man wasn’t just any other Tyson. He was the Tyson from the Drake & Tyson duo.
Shaking his shock off, Gerald found himself running over to Tyson’s side as well.
