Nobody could have imagined that someone who used to be a pauper would turn out to be the actual Mr. Crawford, the man with the greatest reputation on the planet! Hell, even Chairman Zack knelt before him!
Watching as Gerald left the area, all of them had horrified expressions on their faces, knowing that there was zero chance that they would ever be able to get into Gerald’s good books anymore.
Fast forward to inside the study room, Zack was the first to break the silence.
His eyes now teary and reddened, Zack said, “To think that you were fine, Mr. Crawford… What great news…! We previously thought that you had… Well…”
“You thought something had happened to me too, right? Zack, what exactly happened throughout this period? Are you guys transferring the company’s assets?”
“That’s right, Mr. Crawford! You should have a look at this first!” replied Zack with a heavy nod before opening his briefcase and carefully retrieving something wrapped in yellow cloth…
Before Zack was even able to open it, Gerald took it for himself, his eyelids now twitching slightly.
It was a token of the holy water! The same one that was issued to those worthy of obtaining it by a mysterious organization who could possibly be the Sun League…!
From what Gerald could tell, this was the token that his grandfather had received…
After what the Mackusion had shown him, Gerald hadn’t been sure whether his grandfather was still even among the living anymore. Now that his token of the holy water was here, Gerald could instantly feel his heart clench in anxiety.
“…What exactly happened here, Zack…?” asked Gerald.
“I’ll now be explaining everything in detail, Mr. Crawford! You see, it all happened a few days ago…”
As it turned out, Chairman Bea Yaleman—the chairman of the Weston Economic Area—suddenly received an order from the Crawford family to head over to Northbay. Due to that, favonovel.com job was temporarily handed over to Zack and Winson.
Though business proceeded as usual for a while, after a few days, Zack suddenly received a phone call. The call was from the young mistress, Lyra, and from favonovel.com tone alone, Zack could already sense that favonovel.com was slightly anxious and worried. Regardless, after giving favonovel.com some instructions, favonovel.com instantly hung up without even bothering to explain anything.
According to her, something big was going to happen to the Crawford family. Following that, favonovel.com then urgently told Zack to use favonovel.com name to transfer all of the Crawford’s assets to his name. She also told Zack to begin working on all of the other economic areas around the globe as well!
‘Remember, you must act fast!’ emphasized the young mistress before finally hanging up.
While Zack was undoubtedly confused, favonovel.com didn’t dare to delay the transferring process since Lyra had sounded really anxious when favonovel.com gave favonovel.com the order. All favonovel.com knew was that something serious must have happened. Whatever the case was, favonovel.com immediately got to work. At the very least, working would help favonovel.com get his mind off things.
It was also around then when Wes first found out that both of them were secretly planning on transferring the assets.
Regardless, it wasn’t long after when Zack received a text message from the young mistress.
‘Zack, the Crawford family is done for, and I’m going to be in danger at any second now. While I don’t know if Gerald’s still doing fine, I’ll be sending something over to you and you’ll have to keep it safe. Please make sure to secretly find Gerald after that, and once you do, hand the item over to him! All the clues are inside!’
Not knowing how to even respond to that, Zack simply went to bed when favonovel.com realized that no other messages were coming his way. When favonovel.com awoke again later that night, however, favonovel.com found that the token had mysteriously appeared by the head of his bed!
With how quickly and silently the token had been delivered, Zack began feeling extremely nervous. He hadn’t the slightest idea where Gerald even was at that moment!
It was when Zack was pondering how to even proceed with things when favonovel.com suddenly received a phone call from Gerald. Naturally, Zack was both surprised and overjoyed, leading favonovel.com to immediately begin rushing over to hand the item to Gerald.
“…What? You said that Lyra told you that favonovel.com could be facing danger at any second? What else did favonovel.com say?” asked Gerald with a frown.
“That’s all favonovel.com said! That favonovel.com would face danger at any moment…” replied Zack.
