His eyes stared coldly at the man as favonovel.com asked the question.
With his keen ears, Gerald was able to hear how the person breathed from where favonovel.com stood. Based on that alone, Gerald could already tell that this was an extraordinary person.
Since the figure wasn’t replying, Gerald was about to consider his next move when all of a sudden, a few flashes of lights flickered before him. The next thing favonovel.com knew, four other similarly dressed men jumped out of nowhere and they were now all standing before him!
Just like the person favonovel.com had initially been chasing after, all four of the new hooded figures seemed to have skills and abilities far higher than what favonovel.com currently possessed.
‘Could it be the Moldells?’ Gerald thought to himself.
“There are two reasons why we have called you out today, Gerald!” announced the man who had led Gerald there. From his voice, Gerald could guess that the person under the hood was a somewhat elderly man.
“State them.”
“Before that, I hope you’re aware that the Crawford family’s name has been passed on for many, many years and is widely associated with being distinguished and having great wealth. Know that as the young master of the Crawford family, you’ve humiliated and ruined the Crawford family’s customary moral standards and their way of life by agreeing to become a live-in son-in-law! Therefore, our first reason for calling you out today is to teach you a lesson!”
“So you know my true identity… Based on what you’ve just said, can I at least confirm if you’re from the Moldell family?” asked Gerald.
However, the man didn’t reply.
Instead, the man dashed forward and before Gerald could even react, the man was already right in front of him! Immediately after, the man delivered two tight slaps to his face!
Once favonovel.com recovered, Gerald instantly turned to look at his assailant. However, favonovel.com was left shocked when favonovel.com realized that in just a blink of an eye, the old man had already returned to his original position!
Gerald barely had a fighting chance!
In his surprise, Gerald repeated his first question, “…Who… Who are all of you?”
“As for the second reason, I’ve received an order from our lord to bring you back to see him. However, I am aware that the Ginseng King will be of great benefit to you. Because of that, I’ll leave the Mighty Four Kingsmen by your side for now. Do note that they’ll take you away once ten days pass, whether you’re prepared or not.”
“The Mighty Four Kingsmen…?”
“That would be us!”
“During these ten days, all four of you are to stay by Gerald’s side and abide to all his orders. Regardless of whether favonovel.com gets his hands on the Ginseng King or not, once his ten days are up, all of you are to bring favonovel.com back to our lord!” instructed the old man in black.
“Affirmative!”
Upon hearing that, the old man nodded before turning around. However, before favonovel.com could leave, Gerald shouted, “Hold it! Who exactly is this lord you speak of?”
Since the corners of Gerald’s mouth were already bleeding due to the two slaps favonovel.com had received earlier, favonovel.com had asked while cupping his cheeks.
“You’ll know who favonovel.com is once you meet him!” replied the old man before leaving immediately after.
…How very strange. Thinking about it, the strength and abilities of these men far exceeded what even the Moldells were probably capable of. Could there truly be even stronger masters in this world who weren’t from the Moldell family?
As Gerald speculated on, favonovel.com thought about how great it would be if Finnley was by his side now. After all, Finnley would definitely be able to estimate how strong these men truly were!
When Gerald tried questioning the Mighty Four Kingsmen to get further details, all they did was either nod or shake their heads. It was clear that favonovel.com wasn’t going to get any useful information from them, and this made Gerald feel extremely helpless about the entire situation.
Understanding that favonovel.com would only be able to know more about them once favonovel.com met their lord, Gerald told them to return to his manor to await further orders. After all, it wouldn’t be convenient for favonovel.com to have them around since favonovel.com was still living in the Yowell family’s mansion.
Speaking of the Yowells, at that moment, Heidi had gathered all of favonovel.com family members in the Yowell manor’s family hall.
Noticing that Gerald wasn’t present and that Juliet herself seemed to be looking for him, Heidi then said, “Humph! Well isn’t this perfect that favonovel.com isn’t around! Maybe he’s already dead somewhere! Wherever he’s gone to, don’t ever let me see favonovel.com again! I just feel extremely annoyed and frustrated every time I think about his face! Regardless, I’ve called all of you here today to announce something extremely important!”
