Following that, Gerald swiftly headed off to save Lord Fenderson and the others. They had been captured as well since Hendrik had planned to torture them if Gerald still refused to surrender the ancient witchcraft techniques after a while.
Thankfully, Hendrik hadn’t personally done too much to them.
However, though Lord Fenderson’s illness had been cured, all the fatigue, fear, and torture the ninety-year-old man had to go through had taken a clear toll on him. By the time they were all freed, Gerald found that Lord Fenderson had already been comatose for a while.
As all of them began leaving the manor, a tired and exhausted Joshua couldn’t help but ask, “…Speaking of which, senior… Are you leaving again after this…? If you are, where are you headed to next…?”
“I’ll be seeking out Master Ghost. I simply cannot continue staying on Montholm Island anymore! Worry not, I’ll make sure to order a few of my family’s guards to safely escort all of you back to the Salford Province,” replied Gerald as a hint of helplessness and bitterness was reflected in his eyes.
Queena was still too strong for favonovel.com to take on right now. If favonovel.com didn’t make a quick escape while favonovel.com could, favonovel.com could easily trap favonovel.com for all of eternity. Should favonovel.com allow that to happen, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wouldn’t ever get the chance to continue searching for Mila and his second uncle ever again.
To avoid that, Gerald needed to get out of this place immediately…
“…Senior, I…”
While Joshua was tempted to tell Gerald that favonovel.com wanted to come along, after giving it some thought, favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com would only end up becoming a burden to Gerald, which was why favonovel.com refrained from completing his sentence.
Patting Joshua on the shoulder, Gerald then said, “I know what you wanted to say, but you have an important job too, you know? Lord Fenderson and Mindy are in dire need of your treatment, after all. As for Jasmine… I’ll find a way to free favonovel.com sooner or later. Regardless, all of you need to leave first. If I’m able to make it past this tragedy in one piece, I’ll definitely be sure to make some time to come over and cure Mindy and Lord Fenderson with you!”
Hearing that, Joshua simply nodded before saying, “…Alright then. You take care in everything that you do too, senior!”
“I will! This is goodbye for now then! Take care!” replied Gerald before turning around and swiftly heading into the jungle. In a blink of an eye, Gerald had already disappeared from Joshua’s sight.
Meanwhile, Jasmine was pouring a cup of ginseng tea back at the Yonwick Manor. Once favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com placed it on a table in the living room before turning to look at the bed. Sitting on it, was a calmly meditating Queena who had both favonovel.com eyes closed.
While Queena truly had planned to kill Jasmine in the beginning, after spending some time with favonovel.com and listening to what Jasmine had to say, Queena was now starting to grow fond of the girl.
Though favonovel.com didn’t say much, Queena truly hoped that Jasmine would remain by favonovel.com side in the long run. Simply being able to chat with Jasmine when Queena was down or when favonovel.com was facing a difficult period was enough for her.
As for Jasmine, favonovel.com simply couldn’t help but feel sympathetic toward Queena. While favonovel.com was well aware that Queena wasn’t a good person, with both of them being women, Jasmine could completely understand the pain of loving someone yet not being able to be together with said person.
After all, favonovel.com felt the same way with Gerald.
If anyone were to understand how terrible it felt not to be able to be with their loved one, it would be these two.
As Jasmine was thinking about this, Queena—who had been sitting cross-legged the entire time—suddenly opened favonovel.com eyes before standing up abruptly while shouting, “…No! He’s escaped!”
“…Come again? Who’s escaped?” asked Jasmine.
“Who else? I’m talking about Gerald, of course!” replied Queena as a confused expression showed on favonovel.com face.
She had already sealed off all his meridians… How was favonovel.com able to get rid of the Holy Witchcraft without his inner strength? Thinking about it now, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had seriously underestimated him.
‘While you keep denying that you aren’t him, your cunningness is on par with his!’ Queena thought to herself.
Upon hearing that, Jasmine immediately felt like a heavy burden had just been lifted off favonovel.com heart.
Seeing that, Queena turned to look at Jasmine with a triumphant smile before saying, “It’s best that you don’t get too happy yet! He’s not slipping out of my fingers that easily! Not this time! I’m holding onto favonovel.com firmly by my side till the day favonovel.com finally becomes my man!”
After saying that, favonovel.com immediately stepped out of the room, and just like that, favonovel.com was gone.
Gerald himself—who was proficient in making escapes underwater—was already leaving the island with the help of the water repellent stone.
