Even if that was the case, however, everything they owned still belonged to Gerald now.
“You’d better sign the contract once I’ve retrieved the stone, you got that?” said Gerald as favonovel.com tossed Zelda to the ground before all the other Minshalls.
Upon leaving, the old master immediately burst into tears as favonovel.com shouted, “That… That b*stard…! How dare favonovel.com take everything away from us…!”
He truly didn’t know how favonovel.com was still alive after yesterday’s events. To think that they used to have such a happy and wonderful life… Now, however, it was all gone, and Gerald’s constant mockery only made it worse.
If only his naïve granddaughter hadn’t provoked that man, then everything would’ve been fine. Who would’ve thought that this man would be so unreasonable? He was a much bigger thief than all the Minshalls combined! He simply stole everything that favonovel.com saw!
For many years now, the Minshalls had been a well-known and almost noble-like family within Halimark City. Never had they felt this lowly before throughout their time here!
“The water repellent stone is our family’s last treasure, grandpa! Even our ancestors have said though we can live without money and power, we’ll definitely crumble for good once we lose the stone!”
“Indeed! All will be lost if favonovel.com gets his hands on the stone!”
All the younger generations of the Minshall family were currently shouting their thoughts as they gathered around Zelda.
Of course, what they had all said was undoubtedly true. As long as they still had the water repellent stone, then their family would definitely still have a chance of prospering again, even if Gerald had taken away everything else. Zelda probably wouldn’t have to die so soon either if that were the case. However, once again, Gerald was changing their fortune.
Thinking about it, Zelda’s expression suddenly turned fierce as favonovel.com smiled before saying, “…What are all of you even worried about? Do you even think it’ll be that easy for favonovel.com to obtain the water repellent stone? Quite honestly, I’d be overjoyed if favonovel.com actually made it into the ancestral mines! Now that would truly be a blessing from our ancestors!”
“…What? Why would you say that, grandpa?” asked Zoey.
“You’ve been the smartest all this while, Zoey! How could you be such an idiot now? Have you already forgotten that we still have a trump card in our hands?”
“A trump card?” asked the other Minshalls as their faces lit up.
“I’m talking about the thousand years of poison, of course!” replied Zelda while gnashing his teeth fiercely.
Upon hearing that, all the Minshalls immediately began exchanging glances in their surprise.
The thousand years of poison was one of the Minshall family’s most ancient treasures. While many of the family’s grandchildren only thought that it was a myth, hearing that their grandfather mention it made them realize that the poison was real.
If the rumors were true, it was said that even a single sniff of the poison was enough to cause the person’s internal organs to fester, regardless of how strong the person was.
“While it’s true that none of us here are even close to being worthy opponents to him, I’d like to see how well he’ll be able to fare against the thousand years of poison! Hahaha!” declared Zelda in a ferocious manner.
Standing up, favonovel.com then shouted, “Issac! Zoey!”
“Present!” shouted both of them simultaneously.
“Remember what Master Ghost had advised us back then? He had told us that a family with no morality such as ours would always end up badly. He had also told us back then that we’d face a massive problem this year that would cost us our entire family! Now that all of this has happened, I want both of you to head over to favonovel.com and ask favonovel.com to read our family’s fortune again! More specifically, ask Master Ghost whether our family will be able to successfully get over this problem, and if we will, ask when we’ll be able to regain our glory as well!” ordered Zelda.
Following that, the old master got all the other Minshall family leaders to gather in the meeting room that was located in their backyard. They were going to have an urgent meeting…
