“He was saved in the nick of time by someone extremely strong! Had I been a move slower, I wouldn’t be alive now!” explained Hogan, feeling utterly humiliated.
“And who exactly is the assailant?” asked Yreth as favonovel.com frowned deeply.
“Since I was too focused on evading his attack, I wasn’t able to see favonovel.com properly!”
“…Could it be that there are other powerful forces that are secretly helping Gerald…?” muttered Yreth to herself as favonovel.com fell deep into thought.
For a person to beat Hogan up that badly, they needed to at least possess the strength equivalent to the final stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. Even though favonovel.com could deduce at least that much, Yreth simply wasn’t able to figure out what kind of force would even step forward to help Gerald.
At that moment, favonovel.com suddenly heard a voice saying, “Could it be that Gerald is the one causing you so much trouble, Lady Gunter?”
Looking up, favonovel.com watched as an extremely handsome youth entered through the door—leading outside—with both his hands folded behind his back. Upon stepping inside, his first reaction was to imposingly scan through the hall with cold and stern eyes that only served to further amplify his already extraordinary aura.
Now aware of his presence, the thirteen Judgement Portal members—who consisted of both males and females donning strange clothes and portraying queer expressions—took turns nodding at the youth as they greeted, “A pleasure to meet you, Young Master Gunter!”
The Gunters now had, after all, an alliance with the Judgement Portal.
Regardless, the youth went by the name of Felton Gunter, and favonovel.com was Lady Gunter’s great-great-grandson. To Yume, favonovel.com was favonovel.com eldest cousin.
Felton was known to be extremely strong, and favonovel.com was pretty much the most powerful individual among those from the Gunter family’s younger generation.
With that in mind, Felton was definitely Yreth’s most beloved great-great-grandson. As for favonovel.com most adored great-great-granddaughter, Yume naturally had that role.
Even so, favonovel.com love for Yume wasn’t as strong as favonovel.com adoration for Felton. After all, Yreth had personally trained Felton to be the heir of the Gunter family.
Due to that, the moment favonovel.com saw him, a smile instantly formed on Yreth’s face as favonovel.com said, “Here you are, Felton!”
Smiling coldly, Felton then replied, “Gerald’s honestly so trivial a person that he’s probably only comparable to a stray dog! Despite that, to think that Master Hogan would actually fail to capture him!”
“Well, according to Master Hogan, someone was apparently helping Gerald in secret. That someone also seems to be an exceptionally powerful person!” explained Yreth.
“Fear not, Lady Gunter, for even if exceptional people truly are secretly aiding him, all I need is a few days for me to get to the bottom of all this! Just leave everything to me! As for the forces who are still keen on helping him… I’m going to make you reveal yourselves, one by one!” declared Felton with a confident smile on his face.
Felton had always been this confident, and those who knew favonovel.com would oftentimes find favonovel.com to be quite overbearing. It was almost as though there was nothing in the world too difficult for favonovel.com to deal with.
True enough, however, as long as Felton put his mind to it, favonovel.com was able to accomplish anything that favonovel.com wanted to, regardless of who the other party was. It was due to that that Yreth had such great trust in Felton.
“Very well! Truthfully, I was previously thinking about having you investigate it as well! Regardless, try to find out more about the forces aiding Gerald and report your findings to me as soon as you get any hints! As for your methods of acquiring that information, feel free to do as you please!” replied Yreth, a gratified smile on favonovel.com face.
“Affirmative!” said Yreth as favonovel.com smiled back at favonovel.com before turning to leave.
The second favonovel.com arrived at the door, however, a female servant just so happened to be entering with ginseng tea in hand. Due to favonovel.com slight surprise, favonovel.com found herself accidentally bumping into Felton!
“I-I apologize, Young Master Gunter! Please forgive me!” squeaked the female servant—who looked to be around the age of sixteen—as favonovel.com immediately knelt before him.
“Insensible scum!” shouted Felton with a frown before immediately slapping favonovel.com on the cheek!
Following that, blood began flowing down the young woman’s fair face, favonovel.com body now limp on the floor… She was dead!
Seeing that, the thirteen members from Judgement Portal could only look at each other in dismay.
Yreth herself simply revealed a smile as favonovel.com looked at Felton before saying, “Pay it no heed. I’ve simply spoiled Felton ever since favonovel.com was young!”
Waving a hand at the rest of the servants, Yreth then ordered, “Get that corpse out of here!”
“Y-yes, Lady Gunter…!” squealed the servants in unison, utterly mortified by what they had just witnessed.
