Albert had a hint of contempt in his tone as favonovel.com asked the question while looking at Gerald.
The butler’s disdain was warranted since unlike favonovel.com and the other upper-class people at the ceremony, Gerald stood out like a sore thumb in his commoner clothing.
“No, I do not. Regardless, I’m from Mayberry, and I’ve come here today to meet the young lady of the Smith family and hand favonovel.com an invitation card.”
“An invitation card? From whom?”
“I apologize, but I can’t tell you the details!” replied Gerald.
Gerald was only saying this according to how Riley had instructed favonovel.com to. Even so, Gerald truly didn’t know who the owner of the invitation card was. After all, not only was it unnecessary for favonovel.com to pry, but favonovel.com wasn’t interested in finding out in the first place.
At that moment, Riley ran out before saying, “Let favonovel.com in, Albert! As he’s said, he’s come all the way from Mayberry so favonovel.com must be here on a mission!”
Riley leading Gerald into the place was also naturally part of the plan.
“…Oh? Well, since you’re a friend of the Smith family, I suppose it’s fine. Let favonovel.com in!” ordered Albert who naturally needed to show respect due to the relationship between Cundrie and the young master.
With that said, Riley walked over to Gerald—making sure to make a face at favonovel.com while sticking favonovel.com tongue out—before dragging favonovel.com in.
Not long after, the scene slowly returned to its initial atmosphere.
Even so, Abner found himself looking at Gerald before grumbling, “Are we just supposed to let favonovel.com off that lightly? I find that difficult to bear!”
“Don’t be impatient! Worry not, for I’ve just made a call with some simple preparations in mind. Now that he’s entered this place, I guarantee that favonovel.com won’t be able to leave this hall alive!” replied Xyon, his ruthlessness reflected in his eyes.
Hearing that, both Abner and the woman exchanged glances before looking at Xyon once more in admiration. After all, both of them were well aware of how strategic favonovel.com was.
True to Abner’s words, just as Mr. Snyder took in a deep breath—ready to begin the event—he was interrupted by a group of over twenty people rushing into the hall from outside as they shouted, “Let us in! We must capture that thief!”
While the group appeared to only consist of mere vendors, all of them had indignant expressions on their faces.
“What is the meaning of this!” shouted the bodyguards who were still trying to push the group back after failing to deny them entry.
“What are you b*stards up to!” roared Mr. Snyder as his expression stiffened. His anger was warranted since something like this was happening while several international big shots were present!
“We wish to meet Mr. Snyder! We want favonovel.com to seek justice for us!” shouted the vendors as they continued trying to barge further inside.
Upon hearing that, Mr. Snyder signaled for his subordinates to allow them in before sliding one hand in his pocket and asking, “Justice? What sort of justice are you seeking? What’s the full story behind this ruckus?”
“You see, Mr. Snyder, we were just doing our businesses as usual when this person suddenly stopped by to steal our things! As if that wasn’t enough, favonovel.com even seriously hurt a few students from the kindergarten! After finding out that favonovel.com came all the way here to hide, we’d like to ask why you took such a thief in, Mr. Snyder!” replied one of the vendors as all of the others—who had come with him—instantly began pointing angrily at Gerald.
Several of the big shots were now exchanging glances with each other after hearing all that.
“To think that a thief actually managed to get into this place… Why are the Snyders even doing?”
“Yeah! Also, hurting kindergarten kids? How brutal and inhumane!”
Whispers discussing the situation soon filled the place as the crowd slowly grew more and more dissatisfied.
There was no need to doubt how genuine their claims were either. After all, over twenty people had rushed into this place just to capture a single person! Everyone was now keen on finding out what Mr. Snyder—who was infamous for having a bad temper—would do.
Knowing that his next action would make others judge his morality, Mr. Snyder was well aware that favonovel.com needed to perform well. With that in mind, favonovel.com then glared daggers at Gerald before saying, “To think that you came over to my family’s ceremony to hide after committing so many sins… Coming here after causing such a scene, I’ll have you know that you’re definitely courting death!”
“He wasn’t the one who did it!” persuaded Riley who truly hadn’t expected the situation to get so fired up.
After so many people had stepped forward—claiming that Gerald was the perpetrator—Mr. Snyder’s slowly growing murderous intent was only making favonovel.com initial plans go more and more off course!
Gerald himself was now casually looking at the people who had called favonovel.com out. Though they were all dressed up in common clothes, all of them were a little too energetic to be simple vendors.
It was evident that all of them were proficient in martial arts. Taking a look at the father and son of the Gross family—who were standing at the side—Gerald easily put two and two together.
