After realizing that his father’s corpse wasn’t among the other dead bodies, Peter was finally able to see the bigger picture.
However, something still puzzled him. Why was his father being this cruel? What had prompted favonovel.com to do all that?
“Well? I wonder what you’re feeling now that you finally know what kind of person your father is actually like! Though from your expression, I’m assuming that you had already felt that something was amiss some time ago, correct? Hahaha!” said Yreth with a laugh.
“…I admit that I was aware that something was amiss. Even so, there’s something else I don’t quite get. The Gunters themselves have plotted many schemes. What were all those for? Also, let’s not forget that several innocents have ended up dying as your grand scheme played out! How could you have just played around with and manipulated the lives of so many people?” retorted Peter with strong indignation. After all, he, too, was one of the grand scheme’s victims.
“Besides, about the part where you said that you didn’t know about the secrets within Gerald too well… I wonder how true that statement is… After all, I heard from Miss Lockland that you’re quite aware that Gerald seems to be a reincarnation of some kind of powerful deity!” added Peter.
Shaking favonovel.com head, Yreth then replied, “While Zyla and the King of Judgment Portal may have said that Gerald is a reincarnation of a powerful deity, both of them only know about that through a rumor from Jaellatra. From what the King of Judgment Portal told me, the rumor definitely attracted no shortage of people. Even so, nobody—the King of Judgment Portal included—has been able to confirm the authenticity of that rumor. Whatever the case is, deity or not, Gerald still possesses a frightening amount of power, and whoever manages to get their hands on it will surely be able to rule the three divisions of the world! Many from Jaellatra call the power the Herculean Primordial Spirit, and you know even they find it powerful since they’ve attached such a wonderful rumor to it!”
“Regardless, since nobody knows what secrets lie within Gerald’s body yet, many forces have already begun targeting the Crawford family in recent years. From the looks of it, Daryl already knew about the secret for quite some time. After all, favonovel.com had already taken action long before all this! Knowing that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to deal with so many forces alone, favonovel.com had made sure to remain in hiding for all those years, only daring to finally show his face again quite recently!” explained Yreth.
“…I see. You know, my father once told me that our family would be annihilated according to the picture of the sun’s prophecy… Could that have been referring to these incidents?” asked Peter, feeling enlightened.
“Right, you are. You Crawfords need to repay for all the things you’ve done, and it’s a massive price to pay! All of you are to be exterminated without question! Even so, I’m sure that your cunning old Daryl already knows about this. After all, he’s extremely competent when it comes to planning ahead. You know, in order to divert our attention, favonovel.com actually established two Crawford families! If you’re wondering how, he’s conceived many, many children at the same time by sleeping with countless women! If you’re still feeling doubtful then let me ask you this. If the Crawfords truly are such a grand family that hands down its properties from one generation to the next, tell me, have you ever met your second or third uncle? Have you even heard about your grandpa before? In fact, I’m pretty sure that you’ve never even met your mother before, right? I’ll say it right now that though the Crawford family has a large family tree, most of them are adopted children who were taken in by your father! Only your family is his direct descendant!”
After hearing all that, Peter felt like favonovel.com had just been struck by lightning!
‘…There… There are two Crawford families…? But how could that be…?! Though, favonovel.com does have a point… I’ve never met my mother before… Hell, I’ve never even heard anything about favonovel.com up till this point…! Even so, that’s the least of my worries now… If what she’s saying is true, then are there currently two halves of our family currently existing…?’
“Regardless, I do have to say that Daryl is exceedingly capable… After all, we only managed to find out about the other Crawford family a few years ago. His diversion truly was a success… You know, while everyone was busy paying attention to Gerald and your half of the Crawford family, the other Crawfords have long developed. Upon finding out about that, the Gunters were utterly devastated! Had the King of Judgment Portal not decided to step in, my family would have ceased to exist long ago!” said Yreth, a hint of fear on favonovel.com face.
“With that said, not only are we trying to get hold of Gerald to acquire all the secrets of his body, but we’re also trying to ruin Daryl’s plans. After all, the Gunters will truly end up losing the ability to protect ourselves should this incident continue to develop… He’s such a terrifying man that we have a feeling that Daryl had already established communication with the forces of Jaellatra, long before anyone else had!”
