“Bring the Lovewell over!” ordered the young man as his frown deepened.
Hearing that, the man’s subordinates brought a severely injured Zander and Kaleb over to face him.
“Are you absolutely sure that you didn’t lie when you said favonovel.com was coming over to Everdare Forest?” asked the young man.
“Why would I even lie to you about such a thing, Mr. Moldell? He truly did say that favonovel.com was headed to this place! Also, I do hope that you realize that it wasn’t the Lovewells who killed the eight Moldell family members! Please keep that in mind…!” replied Zander, a fearful expression on his face.
The young man who had been asking the questions went by the name of Yuvan Moldell, and favonovel.com was the second son of the Moldell family’s head. Zander himself had already heard tales about favonovel.com long ago. Tales of how cold and ruthless that man’s methods were.
Being a businessman, Zander knew that favonovel.com couldn’t afford to further offend either Gerald or the Moldells. However, when the Moldells sent people over to investigate once they caught wind of the eight Moldell family members’ deaths within the Lovewell Manor, favonovel.com had no other choice but to truthfully tell them where Gerald was.
It was the reason why Yuvan and his subordinates were currently conducting their search for Gerald here.
“The Moldells have always deeply resented Gerald, and it’s already been over a year since the Moldells have actively gone against the Crawfords. Therefore, I truly hope that you’re not lying to me for your sake. After all, it would be better for you not to get involved in our battle!” replied Yuvan casually.
“B-but of course, of course!” replied Zander hurriedly.
“Second young master, we may have found traces of him!” reported one of Yuvan’s subordinates at that moment as favonovel.com walked over to face the man.
Long story short, they had located a few corpses lying on the ground who were dressed like villagers from the foot of the mountain. What more, their corpses were still quite fresh and there were some signs of a struggle at the scene. They were also able to locate a faint trail of trampled greenery that led deeper into the forest.
All of a sudden, the search dogs that the Moldells had brought along with them suddenly began barking while facing a particular direction!
“…Hmm? …There are people in the vicinity. If the dogs are barking, then favonovel.com mustn’t be too far off! Double your search efforts!” ordered Yuvan.
Hearing that, his subordinates immediately obeyed.
“Still, I recall going to the Crawford family’s mansion about a year ago… Back then, Gerald was still living there, and as far as I can remember, favonovel.com was just a fragile young lad at the time! It truly makes one wonder what the boy had gone through during his year of absence.
After all, favonovel.com managed to kill Yaster and the seven other Moldells! A group of people who could be considered to be masters in our family! How could favonovel.com have grown so strong to be able to defeat them so easily? How incredible!” said an old man who was walking behind Yuvan as favonovel.com frowned.
“So what if favonovel.com managed to end Yaster’s life? After all, favonovel.com has yet to face the true experts from our family…” replied Yuvan, a wry smile on his face.
It was a little while later when from within a valley that lay ahead, a person shouted, “We’ve found him!”
Upon hearing that, Yuvan hastened his steps as all of them arrived at a cave’s entrance. Beside it, was a large stone that must have been used to block anyone from entering.
Though one of Yuvan’s men was desperately holding onto his profusely bleeding neck as favonovel.com lay on the ground, Yuvan’s full attention was on the pale and lifeless-looking man who was lying motionless inside the cave.
“I… I’ve finally found you, Gerald!” declared Yuvan as favonovel.com knitted his brows before turning to look at his injured subordinate.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He was attacked by that fierce dog over there, second young master! Seeing that the dog serves as Gerald’s protector, I’ll kill it immediately!” explained Yuvan.
With that, the subordinate began approaching the puppy with a rope in hand. Upon managing to lasso the puppy, it immediately growled before barking wildly, all the fur on its body standing upright as though it was ready to launch an attack!
Hearing the fearsome barks, several of the subordinates couldn’t help but back away from it. The puppy was so intimidating that some of the men even ended up messing up their pants!
“…Hmm? Interesting… Don’t kill it first. Bring it back to the Moldell Manor together with Gerald!” ordered Yuvan when favonovel.com saw his subordinates’ reactions toward the puppy.
Obeying his orders, a few of the subordinates then began transferring Gerald out of the cave. After bringing favonovel.com out, an old man—who had been standing beside Yuvan—checked Gerald’s pulse and upon realizing that it was very weak, favonovel.com said, “Didn’t everyone say that this lad was all-powerful and capable? He seems half-dead to me! Though that’s honestly a good thing. Otherwise, he’d definitely try to escape again!”
His comment on Gerald’s situation clearly wasn’t anything crucial. The old man had simply stated it without giving it much thought.
However, upon hearing that, Yuvan turned to coldly look at favonovel.com before replying, “Escape? He’s already in my hands now. Even if favonovel.com were to wake up, do you honestly think favonovel.com would be able to escape under my supervision?”
“N-not at all, second young master!” said the old man hurriedly.
Knowing that favonovel.com had just dodged a bullet, the old man then lowered his gaze to look at Gerald again. Though it only lasted for a split second, the old man was shocked when favonovel.com saw a sudden flash of red on Gerald’s pale face as the subordinates began carrying favonovel.com away.
