Though favonovel.com was dissatisfied, Mr. Lightburn wasn’t a fool. After listening to what his subordinate had to say, favonovel.com understood what was at stake if favonovel.com continued pushing on with the issue. Because of that, favonovel.com didn’t say anything more.
Gerald’s Royal Dragon Group itself had developed at an immense rate in the past few days. After all, it now had help from the five forces it had acquired in Talgo Town. What more, both Tyson and Drake—who had been beaten up terribly by Sven—were now back at Gerald’s side.
Though their main base was still in Talgo Town, they had recently begun developing in Heavenly City as well. Their efforts in doing so, of course, had been greatly aided by the Westley family.
“The Royal Dragon Group truly is a powerful dark horse!” muttered Specky—who had been standing next to Gerald this entire time—to himself.
“I wonder how they got so powerful so quickly…” asked a few girls who heard Specky’s comment.
“Well, from what I’ve heard, the Royal Dragon Group’s boss is extremely powerful! I’ve also heard that the bosses of the five forces surrendered themselves only after a single round! Because of that, nobody dares to block their path in the entire Heavenly City now! Well, except for Sven, probably… He still hasn’t returned though!” explained Specky who seemed extremely well-informed about the entire situation.
Regardless, Quinlan was now extremely smug and in high spirits. After all, now that the Royal Dragon Group had stepped forward, the incident favonovel.com was involved with was as good as solved.
Following that, favonovel.com then began heading to the chancellor’s office together with Marjorie and a few others to discuss some issues.
As they passed by Gerald, Marjorie took a glance at him. However, favonovel.com only shook favonovel.com head slightly and moved on without even greeting him.
From favonovel.com middle school days till favonovel.com was in university, Marjorie had always enjoyed favonovel.com status as a goddess admired by all. However, once favonovel.com graduated from university, favonovel.com knew it was high time for favonovel.com to get a boyfriend. Of course, not just anyone was going to be able to be favonovel.com boyfriend.
Upon meeting Gerald the first time, favonovel.com had truly admired him. After all, favonovel.com was a handsome young man who had a good disposition to boot! Quinlan, on the other hand, was lacking in every aspect that Gerald succeeded in, or at least that was what favonovel.com assumed based on favonovel.com first impression of them.
After getting to know them a bit more carefully, however, Marjorie realized that Quinlan was hands down the more suitable candidate to be favonovel.com boyfriend.
As for Gerald, favonovel.com was a nobody to favonovel.com now. Because of that, favonovel.com attitude toward favonovel.com completely changed as well.
Gerald himself could only smile bitterly in silence as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com ignore him.
While it was technically his Royal Dragon Group that had helped resolve this mess, Quinlan ended up snatching all the credits from him.
‘Humph!’
Even so, this wasn’t his first rodeo experiencing such injustice.
Recalling the multiple times similar incidents had taken place, Gerald remembered the time when favonovel.com had regretted not exposing himself. Back then, favonovel.com had been just as aggrieved as Alice was.
However, favonovel.com now felt nothing of the sort anymore.
With that, favonovel.com then returned to the office as the clock struck twelve. It was a little later when favonovel.com was just about to get off work when favonovel.com received a call. To his surprise, the number belonged to Tulip.
“I’m currently in a Starbucks in the city, Mr. Crawford. You’re off work now, right? Could you come over? I have something urgent to tell you!” said Tulip rather mysteriously.
“What is it? Could you be planning to treat me to some coffee to repay my kindness for saving you?” asked Gerald in return.
“Well, yes, but that’s not the only thing. Just come over now. We’ll talk more about it once you’re here,” replied Tulip before hanging up the phone.
Frowning slightly, Gerald knew favonovel.com still needed to go there in the end. After all, his main purpose was still to maintain a good relationship with her.
Upon arriving sometime later, favonovel.com saw that Tulip was seated at a table by the window, a cup of coffee placed before her.
However, Gerald was surprised when favonovel.com saw the woman—who looked to be around twenty-four, the exact same age favonovel.com was—sitting beside her.
