“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…!” pleased the man as favonovel.com crawled back up and turned around before kneeling in front of Gerald, trembling in utter fear.
To think that Gerald now felt like an entirely different person after only a three-day gap since they last met! He was simply too strong!
Regardless, the man was wise and favonovel.com knew better than to continue fighting when the odds were clearly against him. Escape was the only option if favonovel.com wanted to make it out alive!
“I-if you spare my life, I’ll share a big secret with you, Mr. Crawford!” said the man rather tentatively as favonovel.com took in a deep breath.
Gerald, however, simply raised his foot and stepped on the man’s head.
Gulping, the man then added, “I-I’ll tell you everything I know as long as you promise to spare my life…!”
Just as the man was about to attempt to retrieve a hidden weapon from his sleeve, Gerald simply replied, “Sorry, not interested.”
Following that, favonovel.com suddenly amplified the force of his foot, causing a disgusting ‘splat’ to be heard as the man’s head exploded into pieces!
With that out of the way, Gerald turned to look at Tiara.
Her limbs all broken, the old woman could only stare at favonovel.com with fear as favonovel.com immediately attempted to crawl away and escape!
“Leave favonovel.com to me, Mr. Crawford!” said Chester as favonovel.com walked up to Gerald.
As Gerald nodded in agreement, Tiara’s eyes grew red as favonovel.com roared, “You ungrateful child! You dare kill me? Aren’t you afraid of getting retribution?!”
“Oh, but you’re wrong, Tiara. No matter how heartless and cruel you were to me, I’d never turn into something as inhumane as you are. Though I won’t personally be killing you, I told Mr. Crawford to leave you to me since I have a question for you before you die, and it’s a question that’s been swimming in my mind for years. Tell me, Tiara. Does family affection or kinship even exist in your eyes?” asked Chester coldly as favonovel.com stood before Tiara.
“Familial affection? Kinship? Hah! Not one bit! Anyone who dares stand in my way dies, no matter who they are!” roared Tiara in rage.
Watching as Chester clenched his fists as soon as favonovel.com reply ended, Tiara took that opportunity to gather all the inner strength left in favonovel.com body to launch a surprise attack at Chester!
Before favonovel.com could make favonovel.com move, however, Tiara heard a whistling sound as an extremely fine ray of light went through favonovel.com neck.
It took favonovel.com a second to understand what had just happened, but the second favonovel.com realized that there was now a hole—the size of a fist—in favonovel.com neck now, favonovel.com eyes widened as favonovel.com flopped lifelessly to the ground. Tiara was no more.
Retracting the Dawnbreaker with his mind, Gerald then walked up to Chester before saying, “Did you honestly expect favonovel.com to do any sort of kind deeds before favonovel.com died? When favonovel.com barely had any traces of humanity left in her? Regardless, I know you’ve always been brooding and feeling troubled due to the matter regarding Lola and your father… However, it’s all finally over now!”
Hearing that, Chester clenched his fists tightly with a heavy nod.
Feeling Gerald pat favonovel.com on the shoulder, Chester then asked, “…What should we do next, Mr. Crawford?”
“Well, Since Dr. Mabb knows Master Nacol who—in turn—knows about the history of the Gunter Family, I’d like to pay favonovel.com a visit. The Gunters are an extremely mysterious family and they seem to know quite a bit about the woman in white. Before Yume disappeared, I know favonovel.com was attempting to look for the woman in white as well. Regardless, though the king of the ocean’s palace has been destroyed, I find it odd that none of my men have been able to locate Yume’s corpse, even after so long. Do you get where I’m getting at?” said Gerald.
“I do, Mr. Crawford. You’re suspecting that there’s a high likelihood that the Celestial Lady has been taken away to the Gunter Manor, correct?” replied Chester with a nod.
“Bingo. Also, you should focus on resting to heal your injuries in the next few days!” said Gerald as favonovel.com took in a deep breath. Seconds later, his hair started returning to its normal color and the purple mist surrounding favonovel.com began dissipating as well. Being able to freely control all this was proof that Gerald had gained a fundamental improvement in his inner strength after undergoing the baptism of heaven!
Fast forward to the next day, Master Nacol could be found giving a lecture on charitable donations in a large auditorium within Mayberry City. Since Master Nacol was an extremely famous person in Weston, everyone was brimming with excitement from his presence alone.
Several young people were also within the crowd since they had grown up following the guidance and advice of Master Nacol.
While Jace had initially planned for Master Nacol to personally come over to meet Gerald, Gerald had turned the proposal down. After all, favonovel.com didn’t want Master Nacol to have to change his schedule because of him. What more, quite a lot of people had been preparing for this donation for a long time. With that in mind, there was no way Gerald was going to use his influence to coerce Master Nacol into canceling his lecture just because of him. Waiting an hour or two was nothing to Gerald.
Due to that decision, Gerald planned to wait in the auditorium for Master Nacol to be done with his lecture.
As favonovel.com was walking into the building, favonovel.com felt someone tap favonovel.com on the shoulder before hearing them say, “Gerald?”
