Adding that to what favonovel.com had earlier said, Jasmine instantly began trembling all over as favonovel.com asked, “…Could… Could it be that you’re my aunt’s missing husband…? The uncle me and Gerald share…?”
Chuckling as favonovel.com smiled, the man then replied, “You truly are as smart as your aunt, Jasmine…”
“…So, it’s really true…?!” exclaimed Jasmine as favonovel.com covered favonovel.com mouth in shock.
“…Sir- No, uncle… Haven’t you gone missing for ages…? Why are you only showing yourself now….? Also, how did your appearance turn out this way…?”
Based on what favonovel.com aunt had once told her, Peter Crawford—her uncle—was quite a handsome and elegant man. With that in mind, his current hideous expression would shock just about anyone!
“Let’s just say that I needed to end up this way in order to escape! Still, this appearance isn’t all that bad since it allows me to hide my true identity. In fact, it’s thanks to how I look that I’ve been able to easily investigate a few incidents!” replied Peter, his eyes returning to their former tranquillity.
“Then… I’m assuming that Gerald still has no idea who you are, right? That you’re the uncle he’s been searching for this entire time…?” asked Jasmine.
“Of course favonovel.com doesn’t. After all, I haven’t concluded on whether a certain someone is good or wicked yet… Anyway, it’s just better if I don’t reveal who I truly am to Gerald yet. Besides, I can still help favonovel.com in secret!” said Peter with a smile.
“Who exactly are you trying to find out is good or wicked…?” asked Jasmine.
“Sadly, I can’t elaborate on that. Just know for now that all my efforts will go to waste if that incident is accidentally exposed. Speaking of which, I wasn’t even supposed to reveal my true identity to you today, Jasmine! With that in mind, please promise that you’ll keep my identity a secret in the meantime!” said Peter.
Peter had always been a calm person, and for the sake of his investigation, favonovel.com had constantly suppressed his desire to meet up with his family this entire time, regardless of how much favonovel.com missed them.
Unfortunately, the second favonovel.com found out—from Gerald—that Jasmine had been captured by Queena, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com wasn’t going to be able to continue keeping that desire suppressed.
With that in mind, favonovel.com had secretly begun his search for Jasmine ever since that day. Upon eventually finding her, favonovel.com took the chance to go on a rescue mission.
While favonovel.com had simply planned to rescue favonovel.com without revealing who favonovel.com really was at first, Jasmine was simply too similar-looking to favonovel.com aunt for Peter’s mind to not be bombarded with a series of thoughts. In the end, favonovel.com gave in and ended up revealing his true identity Jasmine.
“But of course, uncle! Still… Where are we headed to now…?” asked Jasmine.
“What, don’t you wish to meet Gerald? I’m guessing that he’s returned for some time now, so I’ll be bringing you over to reunite with him!” said Peter.
After seeing Jasmine nod, Peter then began leading favonovel.com back…
However, it was only a few steps later when favonovel.com stopped dead in his tracks. His once tranquil eyes now slightly widened as favonovel.com felt a chill run down his back, Peter found himself carefully scanning his surroundings before saying, “…I’m afraid that we’ll have to delay our return for about an hour, Jasmine…!”
“…Huh? Why…?”
“Because I don’t want those stalkers to follow me all the way back. Once they know where I live, they’ll surely ruin that place! With that in mind, I’ll be spending some time getting rid of them first!” replied Peter with a brief smile.
“But… There’s nobody here but us, right uncle…?” said Jasmine as favonovel.com looked around. No matter how hard favonovel.com scanned the area, there just didn’t seem to be any traces of humans nearby!
“Don’t bother looking for them. They’re about fifty miles away, and they’re divided into four main groups that are headed in the four cardinal directions. There are currently about a dozen of them heading in our direction now!” replied Peter as his eyes momentarily flashed a dark green.
Hearing that, the simultaneously frightened and surprised Jasmine then asked, “…You… You’re able to clearly see up to fifty miles away, uncle…?”
“Haha! Fifty miles is nothing to me! I can see even further away…” replied Peter with a bitter smile.
