As Gerald looked curiously at Yule—who had just knelt before him—Yule then explained, “Not only are you both my sister and I’s benefactor, but you also have such remarkable capabilities! With that said, I’m begging you to protect, and be the guest of honor for the Quantock family!”
Though the Quantocks were a cryptic family, they didn’t have a patron back then, which was honestly the reason why they were driven out of Jenna City in the first place.
Regardless, Yule recalled hearing that there existed a small group of people that had surpassed the level of champions, and after witnessing Gerald’s skill, favonovel.com was sure that his master was one of them.
If his family had such a strong person on their side, the Quantock’s strength would definitely progress rapidly. With any luck, Gerald’s agreement would surely bring great and positive changes to the future of his family.
Hearing that, Gerald found himself frowning slightly as favonovel.com asked, “A guest of honor…?”
“Well, essentially, what I’m hoping for is that you’ll agree to take the Quantocks under your wing. Once you do, my family will respect you over the generations!” begged Yule.
Though Yule had said that, Gerald knew what favonovel.com was really after. He recalled how favonovel.com had initially assumed that Julian was suffering injustice since favonovel.com was working for the Duns back then. However, Julian later told favonovel.com that favonovel.com was the one who had taken the Duns under his wing!
‘I’ve completely ruined the Duns though,’ Gerald thought to himself.
Whatever the case was, it was obvious that Yule wanted favonovel.com to protect the Quantocks from future danger.
While Gerald had no interest in such things, favonovel.com did require a family that was able to get an admission ticket for him. Thinking about it, not only would taking them under his wing not hinder favonovel.com by much, but favonovel.com would also obtain a rather good disguise. In other words, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.
With all that in mind, Gerald nodded in agreement before saying, “…I accept!”
Truth be told, Gerald had only considered doing this in the first place since favonovel.com was slightly moved when favonovel.com saw how gallant that young man had been when favonovel.com protected his younger sister earlier.
Regardless, Yule instantly called his family in excitement after hearing Gerald’s reply.
While waiting for his family to arrive, Yule began sharing how all this had come to be.
Essentially, favonovel.com had brought his younger sister along to negotiate about some things. However, on their way there, those eight killers ambushed them! While Yule wasn’t completely sure of who had sent them over, favonovel.com had a pretty good hunch that they were here under the orders of the Waddys, the current ruling family of Jenna City!
It was about twenty years ago when the Waddys had driven the Quantocks out of Jenna City. That incident made it evident that the Waddys weren’t a family that people could afford to infuriate.
Regardless, it wasn’t long before over ten cars arrived at the scene, and in them, were people from the Quantock family.
Since Julian had left with Perla—under Gerald’s orders—and Gerald didn’t really have anything to do if favonovel.com headed back now anyway, favonovel.com had agreed to follow Yule back to the Quantock family’s temporary manor. He was also incentivized to head there since favonovel.com had agreed to take the Quantocks under his wing. With that in mind, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had to treat them much more seriously now.
With that, it didn’t take long before they arrived at the manor.
As soon as the car stopped, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of a middle-aged woman hurriedly running toward them while saying, “Yule? Meghan? Are both of you alright?”
The woman in question turned out to be Yule’s mother, Madam Quantock.
Looking at the door, Gerald also saw a middle-aged man standing there, his face brimming with worry and concern. Behind him, stood several other old and middle-aged men as well as disciples, quite evidently members of the Quantock family.
“We’re fine, mom! Dad! Had it not been for Master Crawford saving us, I wouldn’t have been able to rush back to meet you!” replied Yule excitedly.
“Oh? Where is he?” asked the middle-aged man as favonovel.com and a few of the older men looked toward the car. When they finally saw what Gerald looked like, all of them found themselves feeling astonished.
