For some reason, Gerald felt strange as favonovel.com looked at that old man, and under that pressure, favonovel.com even felt embarrassed and looked down.
“Hahaha!” The old man laughed loudly. “It seems like my grandson does indeed understand what favonovel.com did wrong!”
“Grandson?”
Gerald was stunned. “You’re…”
“You’ve not greeted me ever since you stepped in here. I’m your grandfather, Daryl, you silly boy!” He laughed as favonovel.com sat on a marble chair.
“You’re my grandfather?! I… I thought you went missing?”
Gerald had never heard anything about his grandparents ever since young, and his father had only told favonovel.com that his grandfather had been missing for more than a decade.
They had looked for him, but there had been no news of him, and Gerald had always thought that his grandfather had already passed away. Never did favonovel.com expect that his grandfather was alive, and favonovel.com was actually the owner of Colonel Island’s Soul Palace!
“You seem surprised?” Daryl looked at favonovel.com happily.
“Yes, I am! I’m very surprised, Grandfather!”
Gerald finally understood why favonovel.com had felt so strange earlier on.
“Have you always been on Colonel Island and established the Soul Palace?” Gerald asked in shock.
“Yes. I left the Crawfords, and I left everything to young Dylan back then. It has been 35 years!”
“Come, Gerald. Sit next to me and let me tell you some stories!” Daryl smiled.
Gerald sat on the marble chair.
“How many things do you know about your grandfather?” Daryl asked.
“I only know that you left my father 35 years ago after you both had a big fight. You gave up the position as the family’s grandmaster and never came back. I tried asking my father about you, but favonovel.com didn’t say much!”
“It seems like Dylan did not tell you anything about the picture of the sun!”
“The picture of the sun?”
“Yes. It is a confidential picture that is passed down from our ancestors, and the content of it contains great knowledge. The Crawfords have always been so powerful and wealthy because we possess the guidance of the picture of the sun. But then, I realized that the picture of the sun predicted that within 50 years, the Crawfords would be gone forever, and the picture of the sun has never lied!” Daryl said.
“I’ve heard about that from my father, and favonovel.com said that within these few years, the Crawfords might end up bankrupt or dead!” Gerald recalled what his father had told him.
“Yes, that was what I told favonovel.com too. I’ve always been searching for an answer, and hopefully one day, I might understand what the picture of the sun was trying to say. Until 35 years ago, I finally found a new answer, and I even got a method of survival that is hundred years old, even before the Crawfords existed. Before your father, every generation of the Crawfords knew a thing or two about martial arts. Your dad broke the chain, and that is why I’ve never liked him!” Daryl said.
“Is that why you established the Soul Palace?” Gerald finally knew more secrets about what had happened.
“Yes. I’ve been doing my research, and I found this isolated location to build my reputation. I even gathered some powers to protect my family from being banished!”
“Gerald, you’re very lucky to have people helping you train your skills. That is why I was very happy when my people reported back to me!”
“Does that mean that you knew my master, Finnley? Is favonovel.com one of your people too?” Gerald asked.
Daryl shook his head. “I don’t know him. However, I did some research on his background, and I found something that surprised me. My informants are all around the world, and there is nothing that I wouldn’t know about, but your master, Finnley Quick, gave me a hard time. I believe Finnley Quick is not even his real name! One thing for sure is that favonovel.com is a great and powerful master, his skills are far more excellent than mine!”
