As for Gerald, Wagner had called for favonovel.com so that both of them could head over to meet Master Ghost in Langvern Church—which was located in Langvern Mountain—as appointed by Wagner the day before.
In the past, Gerald hadn’t really believed in so-called ‘masters of fortune-telling’. He simply considered them to be people who were keen on deceiving others.
However, from the moment favonovel.com first found out about the remarkable old beggar in the mural, his views on fortune-telling began changing.
Aside from all the mystifying new experiences favonovel.com had gone through, Gerald also had another reason to believe that Master Ghost was the real deal. After all, Master Ghost had successfully predicted events that would befall Alice, Wagner, and even the Minshall family. Everything that favonovel.com had said eventually came true.
Since Master Ghost had been able to predict that both Wagner and Gerald would eventually meet, Gerald knew that there existed a chance that favonovel.com would be able to learn about Mila and his uncle’s whereabouts upon meeting Master Ghost.
With that in mind, Gerald was quite anticipated to meet the master.
Located on a mountain ridge north of Halimark City, Langvern Mountain itself was an area surrounded by cliffs and old pine trees. If one were to stand atop the mountain, they would be able to see the entirety of Halimark City. Since the city itself was pretty large, anyone looking at it from the mountain would see it stretching into the horizon, so much so, in fact, that the end of Halimark City sometimes looked like it was converging with the sky.
Staring down from above, even a space that could fit tens of thousands of people gave the impression that it was only the size of a matchbox. Anyone who saw such a scene would undoubtedly be reminded of how insignificant humans were.
One could normally find lots of people at the foot of the hill. After all, several people went to Langvern Mountain to pray, and many others headed there to pay formal visits to Master Ghost in hopes of getting their fates foretold.
As for Langvern Church, it was a simple but ancient-looking building that, from afar, gave the impression that it wasn’t overly spacious. While churches nowadays were usually refurbished quite exquisitely and luxuriously, from the day it was built—many, many years ago—the Langvern Church had retained its mottled, greyish-white walls as well as its reddish-brown bricks and tiles that could be found all around the building.
Despite many people constantly visiting Langvern Mountain, the mountain was still able to maintain its lightness and delicateness, making it quite a unique place.
Returning to Gerald and Wagner, by the time both of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, the path from the foot to the very top of the mountain was already crowded with people.
Looking around, Gerald ended up momentarily freezing. He wasn’t even sure if favonovel.com was just imagining things, but standing quite a distance away from him, was an extremely graceful-looking woman. Well, at least favonovel.com back was graceful-looking, from what Gerald could see.
Watching as the woman’s maids led favonovel.com into favonovel.com car, Gerald was unable to catch even the slightest glimpse of favonovel.com face due to one of the maids holding a parasol—that completely blocked his view of her—as favonovel.com entered the vehicle.
Eyes-widened as favonovel.com gulped, Gerald could only stare as favonovel.com watched the car drive off.
‘…She… She looked so similar…!’
If it wasn’t for the fact that favonovel.com knew his girlfriend was missing, Gerald would’ve easily have thought that the woman favonovel.com had just seen was Mila!
After all, the back of that woman’s fair neck looked incredibly similar to his girlfriend’s.
The sudden shock of the scene almost made his rational side crumble for second, thinking that it truly could be her. However, favonovel.com quickly gathered his thoughts again, deeming the situation as slightly odd.
He immediately reminded himself that not only had Mila gone missing for a long time now, but since favonovel.com had been captured by the Sun League, it was even less possible for favonovel.com to be roaming around like this!
Gerald simply shook his head, summing up the incident as being only an illusion of his. It was probably because favonovel.com was missing Mila too much.
Still, Gerald couldn’t help but gulp as favonovel.com watched the car continue to drive further away. He was now seriously considering catching up with that car to see if it truly was Mila or not. Even if favonovel.com wasn’t, favonovel.com could at least rest easy knowing that favonovel.com hadn’t missed a chance to finally find favonovel.com again.
At that moment, favonovel.com suddenly felt a tug on his arm before hearing a feminine voice call out, “Hey, Gerald! I’ve already called out to you several times! Can’t you hear me?”
Pulled from his train of thought and back to the present, Gerald turned to look at the owner of the voice. As it turned out, the woman who had tugged his arm was Yasmeen!
“Who are you even looking at…? The moment you saw that beauty, your eyes widened a lot you know? I really didn’t think that you were such a person, Gerald!” said Yasmeen.
“What do you want?” asked Gerald in a clearly annoyed tone. After all, Yasmeen had interrupted favonovel.com during an extremely crucial moment.
“Now what sort of tone even is that! I came over to greet you but this is how you treat me?” said Yasmeen who seemed rather adamant about continuing to talk to Gerald.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald turned to look at the car again. However, it was now completely out of sight.
After thinking about it for a brief moment, favonovel.com chalked it up as favonovel.com simply thinking too much about it.
Regardless, since Yasmeen had been so enthusiastic to talk to favonovel.com all of a sudden, favonovel.com was now finding it quite awkward that favonovel.com had treated favonovel.com that way just seconds ago.
“…I was just deep in thought earlier. Sorry,” replied Gerald casually.
Covering favonovel.com mouth to chuckle, Yasmeen then said, “Now that’s the Gerald I know! Haha!”
