As Gerald listened to what his bodyguards had to say, favonovel.com was simultaneously also thinking about something else.
The fact that favonovel.com had gone unconscious for a full month and a half meant that the Dead Annies had been much more potent than what favonovel.com had initially anticipated.
Completely different from the attacks from powerful people like Christopher, Dead Annies were used as a medium to bring great mental harm to others.
It made favonovel.com realize that despite training his physique to such a powerful state, his mental power was still far from catching up to his body’s capabilities. To think that favonovel.com had almost died due to all the injuries favonovel.com had suffered from the Dead Annies….
Regardless, Gerald distinctly remembered witnessing something seconds before favonovel.com had fainted back when favonovel.com was still in the king of the ocean’s palace.
As favonovel.com was clinging onto the eternal coffin back then, the lid of that large, black coffin had slid open and following that, a black light shot out of it….
Whatever the case was, favonovel.com was sure that favonovel.com had brought the eternal coffin back with him. But why were his guards still behaving like something was amiss?
Getting up from the bed, Gerald then headed to the room in the backyard that was currently being heavily guarded by bodyguards.
The moment favonovel.com opened the door, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of the eternal coffin right in the middle of the room.
Moving toward it, Gerald slowly slid the lid open… Only to find out that it was empty! The woman in white was missing!
Seeing that Gerald had now realized what the ‘problem’ was, the same guard from earlier walked up to favonovel.com before saying, “You see, Mr. Crawford, after successfully getting both you and the eternal coffin out of the water, we brought both of you back here. At the time, we were all pretty sure that the contents of the coffin remained inside. And we were right. However, it was about a week ago when… an incident took place. Even though favonovel.com was still in the coffin the previous night, the next thing we knew, favonovel.com had disappeared, leaving only the coffin behind!”
“Despite how unimaginable it sounds, it’s the truth!” chimed in Lord Fenderson.
There was a reason why Lord Fenderson was still here. After returning to Halimark City, everything had gone fairly well. However, just as favonovel.com was about to return to the Salford Province, Gerald’s bodyguards suddenly asked for Joshua, stating that Mr. Crawford was injured and was currently in a comatose state!
Since they were still there anyway, they agreed to head to Montholm Island to visit the unconscious man.
Regardless, despite the fact that Lord Fenderson was almost a hundred years old by now, everything that was happening was still pretty hard for favonovel.com to believe.
Gerald himself was equally as surprised. Could the description of the person who had taken part in the funeral procession back then really be true…? Was it truly possible for the woman in white to return to life?
As Gerald carefully scanned through the eternal coffin, a Dead Annie placed right in the middle of the coffin instantly caught his attention. The moment favonovel.com saw that dreaded flower, favonovel.com couldn’t help but take a step back.
Due to how much pain it had caused him, his body had now instinctively learned to fear it.
Quickly regaining his composure, Gerald realized that the flower had been placed quite neatly within the coffin, almost as though someone had left it there the moment the woman in white left.
Seeing that Gerald had noticed the flower, the bodyguard added in a shameful tone, “Unfortunately, Mr. Crawford, that nameless flower was the only thing that remained in the coffin!”
Stunned, Gerald then turned to look at the guard before saying, “You… You know of this flower?”
The flower was extremely rare, and Gerald had only managed to encounter it the first time back when favonovel.com was on his grandfather’s island. Despite its beauty, Gerald had only regarded it as a simple flower back then, so favonovel.com hadn’t really paid it much attention.
Nevertheless, Gerald was this surprised now since a random bodyguard from his family—who didn’t even belong to the Soul Palace—actually knew about the flower.
“Oh! Well, Lord Fenderson was the one who gave me the details!”
“Hmm? Then I’m assuming you’ve seen this flower before, Lord Fenderson?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com turned to look at Bryson.
“But of course I do! When I was much younger at around the age of twenty, I had a pretty good relationship with your grandfather… That year, your grandfather and I were still comrades-in-arms… Either way, favonovel.com showed me this breed of flower back then and claimed that it was owned solely by your family! When I asked favonovel.com what its name was, however, favonovel.com simply said that it was a nameless flower. He then added that it was a weird and mysterious flower that was once a totem flower that belonged to some mysterious country within the Western Regions,” explained Bryson.
“So what you’re saying is that not only did my grandpa have this breed of flower with favonovel.com all the way back then, but favonovel.com also knew that it was mysterious?” asked Gerald, feeling shocked by the sudden revelation.
