Xavia continued remaining silent as favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head, not even daring to say a word.
“While I admit that the Moldells have definitely crossed the line for some time now, was there truly a need to go so far in your retaliation, Mr. Crawford? Did you truly have to torture and humiliate us like this? You’ve done enough to us so please just let us off already…” negotiated Yash as favonovel.com stood up.
Gerald, however, gave no response, choosing instead to simply fiddle around with a teapot.
“That’s it! I’m killing you if it’s the last thing I do!” shouted one of the Moldell’s men as favonovel.com rushed toward Gerald, unwilling to go through any more mental suffering.
However, the man was promptly taken care of by one of Gerald’s own subordinates upon receiving Welson’s order.
“You know, from what I’ve been told, Kort has just arrived in the Logan Province… I’m sure it won’t be long before favonovel.com rushes over…” said Gerald with a smile.
Upon hearing that, both Yuvan and Yash couldn’t help but feel slightly moved. At long last, the moment of hope they had been looking forward to was finally coming.
The family head was going to be here soon, and if anyone was to even come close to having a fighting chance against Gerald, it was Kort.
“If that’s the case, then you’ll definitely have to face the Moldell family’s grand second master who is also the master of our family, Kort Moldell! After slaughtering so many of our family members, I do wonder how you’ll explain yourself…” replied Yash.
Yuvan himself had already grabbed onto Yash’s hand in his excitement. His reaction was to be expected since favonovel.com had sworn to himself that favonovel.com would make the Crawfords pay the price a hundredfold of what Gerald had made the Moldells suffer through.
“Eventually. Unfortunately, the rest of you won’t be able to witness that fight. Have you heard of ‘last meals’ that death row prisoners receive before getting executed? Well, I hope you’ve eaten to your heart’s content… With that out of the way, go ahead and end yourselves now. None of you are leaving this restaurant alive,” sneered Gerald coldly.
Hearing that, Yash felt his eyelids twitching intensely as Yuvan fell into complete despair.
All Yuvan needed was a bit more time… If time was on his side, his father would definitely arrive sooner or later to save him… Yet here Gerald was, ordering them to kill themselves!
Regret enveloped Yash as well. If only favonovel.com hadn’t led his subordinates into Everdare Forest that day… None of this would have happened.
Regardless, since Gerald had allowed them to take their own lives, they weren’t against the idea. After all, they were well aware that death was the only answer to their current situation. At least they would still be able to go with what little dignity they still had…
Once the deeds were done, Gerald and his men simply walked out of the restaurant.
Before they could get far, Xavia rushed out before calling out, “Gerald!”
“What is it?”
“You… Could… you be planning to deal with the Long family now…?” asked Xavia as favonovel.com began sobbing slightly.
In response, Gerald simply grunted before nodding.
“Please… I’m begging you-”
Before Xavia was even able to complete favonovel.com sentence, favonovel.com was interrupted by Gerald as favonovel.com raised his hand before saying, “I’ve already ordered one of my men to purchase a large property for you within the Salford Province. You and your family should be able to lead a peaceful life there without too many worries for the next few generations. There’s no need for you to bother about the subsequent affairs.”
Walking over to her, favonovel.com then gently wiped favonovel.com tears away before adding, “In exchange for all that, I only ask that you live a good life. I, for one, am no longer able to live the lifestyle I once did…”
“With that, I bid you farewell!”
Having said that, Gerald then turned to walk away with his men.
Xavia wanted to call out to him. To tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com wanted to stay by his side.
However, after hearing how resolute Gerald was, favonovel.com could only cover favonovel.com mouth as favonovel.com burst into tears while watching Gerald’s back slowly disappear into the distance.
Meanwhile, an extremely capable-looking team of men had just arrived at the entrance of the Moldell Manor’s burnt remains.
“No… No!” roared an old man, his voice filled with agony after witnessing the state of the manor. Clenching his fists tightly, the veins in his arms were immediately revealed as extreme murderous intent coursed through them.
“…Who did this…? Who?!” howled the man as favonovel.com grabbed one of the survivors in his rage.
“I-It was Gerald Crawford! He was the one who ruined the Moldells! I-I was only able to escape the crisis since I jumped into the well!” cried out the terrified youth.
“…Gerald? ….How… How is that even possible?!”
