“But it’s true, uncle! I’m not pulling your leg at all! Just take a look if you don’t believe me! I’m telling you this charming little lady’s eyes resemble yours a lot!” persisted the woman.
As favonovel.com watched favonovel.com signal for favonovel.com to take the photograph from favonovel.com already outstretched hand, the old man simply looked at favonovel.com for a while before giving in and taking it from her.
The second favonovel.com got a clearer look at the person in the photograph, favonovel.com seemed to momentarily freeze in place. He was so shocked that favonovel.com couldn’t even hold onto the photograph properly, resulting in it falling to the floor.
If it wasn’t obvious enough, the girl in the photo was Queta.
Seeing favonovel.com trembling like that was a first for the woman. Adding that to the fact that his expression had changed so much upon looking at the photo, the woman couldn’t help but ask in a worried tone, “…Uncle? Is something the matter…?”
Quickly picking the photograph up again, favonovel.com then replied, “…I’m fine. Everything’s fine… Speaking of which, I’m done bandaging Gerald and I need to head out for a bit. Take care of favonovel.com in the meantime!”
With that said, favonovel.com then hastily turned around before leaving.
“…He’s acting rather strange…” muttered the woman to herself as favonovel.com scratched the back of favonovel.com head.
Though favonovel.com was mischievous in nature, favonovel.com always obeyed that man’s words. With that, favonovel.com then sat by the bed with favonovel.com eyes closed, both hands over favonovel.com cheeks.
Opening an eye to look at the resting youth, favonovel.com was instantly caught by surprise. Since the middle-aged man had wiped the blood off Gerald’s face earlier, favonovel.com now saw that Gerald was, in fact, quite handsome.
Stretching favonovel.com hand out, favonovel.com gently pinched his face before saying, “You look quite handsome, you know? Still, the more I look at you, the more I feel that your eyes resemble uncle’s slightly… I wonder why…”
In truth, the woman had always secretly admired that middle-aged man. After all, though favonovel.com was ugly, that man’s demeanor was always graceful and his behavior was nothing short of gentlemanly. What more, favonovel.com was also extremely mysterious.
Whenever favonovel.com asked favonovel.com about how favonovel.com had gotten all those wounds on his face, favonovel.com always replied with the same thing, stating that favonovel.com was simply burned badly. As for photographs of favonovel.com in the past, there were none to even speak of.
That fact alone saddened the woman greatly. After all, favonovel.com was extremely interested in knowing how favonovel.com looked in the past.
After staring at Gerald for some time, favonovel.com ears twitched as favonovel.com turned to look at the door. There, the man sat as favonovel.com smoked quietly.
‘…He really is acting extremely strangely today!’ the woman thought to herself.
The man himself was looking at Queta’s photo again as favonovel.com continued smoking. If one were to pay closer attention to favonovel.com under the light of the moon, they would be able to see his body trembling slightly as tears slowly began welling in his eyes, his gaze at the photograph filled with adoration.
After being in a daze for quite a while, favonovel.com eventually kept the photograph carefully. Looking up at the night sky, his initial tears were no longer there. Instead, it was replaced with a look of resoluteness and ruthlessness.
“The incident will be settled sooner or later… It isn’t far from now!” declared the man coldly as favonovel.com glared daggers at a large and remote mountain in the distance…
…
Meanwhile, the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal were currently assembled at the Gunter family manor’s brightly lit hall within Ancient City.
At that moment, Yreth—the old lady of the Gunter family—was sitting at the seat of honor as favonovel.com exclaimed in shock, “…What? Hogan’s been defeated? But how is that even possible! Gerald’s merely a weak, small fry compared to Hogan! How was favonovel.com actually able to escape?!”
Hogan was an exceptional man who had already achieved the middle stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. With that kind of strength, favonovel.com was a frightening man who could do pretty much whatever favonovel.com pleased.
The Gunters themselves were well aware of how terrifying favonovel.com was, since before they had formed an alliance with Judgement Portal, they had attempted to fight that beast of a man. Despite how exceptional the Gunter family members were, none of them were any match for Hogan, and they all ended up getting utterly defeated. That alone painted the image of how strong that man truly was.
Since the Judgement Portal had sent Hogan over to capture Gerald this time around, the Gunters had assumed that everything was already in the bag. They were so sure, in fact, that they even had Gerald’s jail cell prepared!
Shockingly enough, not only was Gerald able to escape, but Hogan also ended up getting terribly injured!
Hogan himself was currently lying on a chair, his expression extremely ruthless as members of the Judgement Portal continued bandaging his wounds.
