Their current goal was to get the thief to head to South Street. Once favonovel.com was there, they would force favonovel.com into the trap and capture favonovel.com as soon as possible.
With that in mind, Aiden quickly drove there and within five minutes, they arrived at the street.
Upon arriving at the scene, Gerald saw that they were only five personnel waiting for the thief on South Street. Aiden truly wasn’t kidding when favonovel.com said that their manpower was scarce.
“How’s the situation?” asked Aiden the second favonovel.com came close enough to the group that was already there.
“As stated earlier, we’ve already locked onto Maverick and he’s going to be arriving at South Street any second now. We’ll be trying to stop favonovel.com from advancing any further here. Speaking of which, why are there only three of you? Didn’t you say that you managed to get more capable hands?” asked the leader of the other team who was a rather tall woman.
Hearing that, Gerald instantly stepped out of the car. He had remained seated inside earlier since favonovel.com was busy observing the surrounding terrain. After all, if favonovel.com was going to stop the rapist, then favonovel.com first needed to check the area for any possible escape routes that the criminal could use.
While Gerald already had excellent skills, abilities, and confidence, favonovel.com was being extra careful since Aiden had already mentioned that the criminal was an extremely cunning person.
Adding that to the fact that favonovel.com was also doing this to help a close friend, Gerald wanted to be as careful and meticulous as favonovel.com possibly could. Another reason favonovel.com was being this careful because Gerald was well aware that favonovel.com couldn’t use his inner strength yet. If only favonovel.com could, then favonovel.com would’ve easily subdued the rapist without much issue, even if the criminal had managed to run a few kilometers away!
Regardless, favonovel.com had finished scanning the area anyway, which was why Gerald wasn’t hesitant about stepping out now.
However, the moment favonovel.com revealed himself, the woman—who was standing beside Aiden—instantly said in a surprised tone, “…Gerald? What are you doing here?”
Upon hearing that name, another young man from favonovel.com team came running toward favonovel.com side, a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
‘…Maia and Warren…? What are the odds?’ Gerald thought to himself, a bitter smile on his face. It truly was a small world.
From what favonovel.com could remember, the last favonovel.com had met both of them was about a year and a half ago when favonovel.com was still pretending to be Sanderson in order to take down the Schuylers. At the time, Maia and Warren had been there to investigate all the crimes the Schuylers had done throughout the years.
While favonovel.com had burned down the manor after saving them, Gerald had made sure to leave behind several pieces of evidence detailing the family’s crimes for Maia. As a result, Maia took full credit for solving the incident. He was even kind enough to leave a personal note for Maia, stating that favonovel.com was simply offering a helping hand to his old classmate.
Regardless, after going their separate ways, Gerald hadn’t kept tabs with how Maia was doing up till this very day. To think that favonovel.com had already returned to Mayberry for some time. What more, from the looks of it, favonovel.com seemed to have been promoted as well!
Of course, that naturally meant that the man with jealousy in his eyes was none other than Warren.
Both of them were well aware of who Gerald was, and Warren in particular felt like favonovel.com had just received a tight slap across his face just from seeing Gerald again. In a way, for Warren, seeing Gerald simply caused favonovel.com to feel like a child who was being exposed to something traumatic.
“It’s truly been a long time since I’ve last met you, Gerald. I only heard about what happened to you upon returning to Mayberry City. From what I was told, you broke off from your family and went missing shortly after! Color me surprised to see you in one piece now!” said Maia as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com in surprise.
However, favonovel.com quickly returned to favonovel.com snobbish attitude. After all, favonovel.com was no longer shocked about the fact that Gerald was actually rich now. With that in mind, favonovel.com then asked in a tone that suggested that favonovel.com was superior, “So, what are you working on now?”
“I’m not working. I simply returned since I have something to do. I’m also here to help Aiden!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
“…Help?” said Maia and Warren simultaneously, this time truly caught off guard.
With both of them simultaneously turning to look at Aiden, Maia then asked, “He… He’s the help that you invited over…?”
