A little while later, Gerald was about to board the helicopter when favonovel.com saw Welson slowly limping toward him.
“…Welson?” said Gerald.
It was evident that something was wrong with the old man. Even from afar, everyone present could see how dull and gloomy Welson’s eyes were, and favonovel.com was also walking somewhat zombie-like. It was odd, to say the least.
While Gerald frowned, favonovel.com decided not to make a move for now.
Since Dylan was from the same generation as Welson, favonovel.com called out, “Perfect timing, Welson… Since Gerald’s about to head on a long voyage, I’ll call favonovel.com over to bid you farewell.”
However, Welson didn’t seem to have heard what Dylan said, and favonovel.com simply continued limping slowly toward them.
“…Welson…?” said Dylan.
“Back off, Dylan!” shouted Daryl out of the blue, his gaze appearing extremely vigilant.
“Welson, are you alright? Did something happen?” asked Daryl, still staring at the old man.
The rest of the Crawfords began peeking at Welson as well, curious as to what was happening.
Without warning, Welson suddenly began vomiting blood! Following that, blood began gushing out from both his eyes, and nose as well!
It wasn’t long before his entire face became a dark-purplish shade and the old man finally collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that, both Daryl and Gerald simultaneously shouted, “Welson!”
Repeatedly shouting Welson’s name as Gerald ran over to the old man, by the time Gerald got there, Welson was no longer among the living.
“…Welson has immense strength so few people in the world are able to defeat him… There’s a threat on this island!” growled Daryl coldly as his eyes turned fierce.
“…H-huh? Who’s that?” asked Dylan who instantly became nervous.
“With such high vigilance, you truly are the same Daryl from back then… It’s been thirty years since we last parted ways… Long time no see, Daryl!” shouted an old man—who looked to be in his declining days—as favonovel.com walked over to them.
Despite how frail favonovel.com looked, his steps were light and his voice was extraordinarily loud and clear. Knowing how unnatural that was for someone his age, the rest of the Crawfords began growing nervous as well.
“Who are you? Are you Welson’s murderer?” asked Gerald, his voice filled with hatred.
While Gerald had only known Welson for half a year, after how well Welson had treated favonovel.com for so long, Gerald already saw the old man as his own grandfather.
Gerald had also heard from Daryl that Welson’s family had been servants to the Crawford family for many generations now, and each generation of servants was extremely loyal to his family.
With all that in mind, how couldn’t Gerald be furious about what had just happened?
“Retreat, Gerald! That person is none other than the Moldell family’s Christopher!” said Daryl as favonovel.com took a step forward, maintaining an extraordinarily calm composure.
“As expected of your grandson, Daryl… Gerald truly is as talented as Kort said… Quite honestly, I didn’t believe it when Kort told me that Gerald had managed to enter the realm of legends. After all, who on this planet would be able to change the laws of nature and train up a young great master? With doubt in mind, I came over to have a look myself. To think that what Kort had said was all true!” said Christopher as favonovel.com nodded several times.
“Actually, I take it back a little. From what I can see, you’re only somewhat of a semi-great master… Such a pity… If things had gone a bit more smoothly, you would’ve definitely achieved the title of the second young great master in the history of legends! Pity, pity, pity…” added Christopher.
“And why exactly are you pitying him, Christopher? Surely you couldn’t have come all the way here just to congratulate my grandson, correct? Also, I couldn’t help but notice that you’ve lost your right arm. How did that happen, I wonder…” replied Daryl.
“I’d rather not talk about my missing arm. And no, of course not. I simply came over to take Gerald away! Well, I won’t deny that I initially thought of killing favonovel.com as soon as I got here. If I had gone with that, then after taking part in the pledge of the holy water, the Moldell family would remain and be able to take control of the dragon veins of the entire world! Haha! However, after seeing Gerald, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it! Instead, I’ve now decided to take favonovel.com away, just to see how he’ll even end up becoming a great master!” said Christopher.
“You’re speaking so seriously and confidently, Christopher. I don’t suppose you’ve forgotten our fight thirty years ago, have you? Do you not recall how difficult it was for you to stand against me, even with both your arms intact back then? While it’s true that both of us arrived at the realm of legends at around the same time ten years ago, you now only have your left arm left! It won’t be easy for you to take my grandson away from me, you know?” replied Daryl who had already begun channeling his inner strength into his hands.
“As they say, change is the only constant. I’d like to know as well whether I’ll be defeated again this time!” said Christopher with a faint smile.
