Whatever the case was, Yaakov believed in his daughter’s insight and perception. With that said, favonovel.com was certain that favonovel.com definitely wouldn’t end up falling for a man like Gerald.
“I see… Well, that’s fine for now. Regardless, while I promise to always be by your side no matter what, I hope that you understand that you’ll eventually end up getting married to Stetson… After all, his future looks extremely promising! With that said, I hope you mentally prepare yourself for that…” said Yaakov.
Since Xyrielle didn’t look like favonovel.com was particularly against the idea, Yaakov left favonovel.com room with ease in his heart.
As for Xyrielle, after watching favonovel.com father leave, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart palpitate as favonovel.com muttered, “…Gerald…”
So, favonovel.com father had come over just to tell favonovel.com all that… As a sense of loss filled favonovel.com while muttering his name, favonovel.com could almost see his figure in his mind…
Fast forward to two days later, the underground festival was launched as scheduled.
On the day itself, no shortage of prestigious and influential families from all over the place could be seen gathered at the venue. Of course, there were even more guests who were secretly attending after receiving special invitation cards.
They were all here since according to how the previous underground festivals had gone, the champion of the festival would gain a rank similar to the most powerful person in the world of martial arts. Aside from that, they would also obtain the right to distribute a few mysterious items…
Regardless, it was also noteworthy that many families who had participated in the underground festival found themselves rising up the ranks extremely quickly! In fact, it wasn’t a stretch to claim that many of the world’s most powerful and major families today had relied on the underground festival to get to where they currently were! With that in mind, any families looking to improve themselves would surely value the festival.
Of course, there were also quite a number of families who were foolishly attracted by the secrets of the attending underground forces. Such families either ended up being cheated or forced to get money through thievery if they didn’t have enough on hand.
Either way, while most of the ordinary people only attended the festival to enjoy the hustle and bustle, the insiders all knew that the festival’s true purpose was to have deity-like people brawl against each other.
Despite how big the fights were, nobody ever dared to record a thing, which was why no relevant information had yet to be leaked. After all, should information accidentally leak out, the family who had taken the recording would most certainly be exterminated…
Moving on to the actual venue, while the festival was still being held within Heartstone Manor, it was now separated into two main areas, that being aboveground and underground.
Comparing the two, the area aboveground was similar to the size of a kindergarten when placed side by side with the university-sized underground area.
While the former was a place where regular bosses could entertain themselves, the latter was an area where people dueled against each other in authentic battles!
Regardless, Gerald himself had just arrived with the Quantock family’s executives, alongside Julian and a few other people from the Sherwin family.
Just as they were about to enter, however, a smiling woman—who had been chatting with favonovel.com friends while walking toward the main door—suddenly froze before calling out, “…Gerald? What are you doing here?”
Hearing that, Gerald turned around to see who the owner of the feminine voice was… and was instantly shocked when favonovel.com realized who favonovel.com was!
“Oh? Fancy meeting you here!” replied Gerald with a slightly helpless smile as favonovel.com looked at the woman.
“Why wouldn’t I be here? Still, it hasn’t been that long since we’ve last met! Why are you treating me as though I’m a stranger? Regardless, weren’t you unable to obtain an admission ticket? How did you manage to enter this place then? Either way, now that we’ve bumped into each other, I’d like to ask you to do me a favor!” said the woman with a chuckle.
The woman in question was none other than Xaverie. As for the other girls in favonovel.com group, they were naturally also friends of Xyrielle’s. Xyrielle herself wasn’t present, though it was completely understandable. After all, favonovel.com was one of the function’s main characters, so there was no way favonovel.com was going to be able to stay by favonovel.com friends’ sides like how favonovel.com usually did.
Whatever the case was, Xaverie couldn’t deny that favonovel.com was curious about all the people accompanying Gerald here today… Still, favonovel.com wasn’t too afraid since favonovel.com ended up subconsciously thinking about Gerald’s true identity.
With that, favonovel.com then grabbed onto his arm, making it extremely evident that favonovel.com wanted to lead favonovel.com someplace no matter what favonovel.com said.
Seeing that, Yule looked like favonovel.com wanted to say something before whispering, “Master…”
While the Quantocks no longer controlled or managed Jenny City, they were still a family that owned extraordinary strength. If someone was disrespecting their master, they’d surely have to teach that person a lesson!
Understanding what Yule was getting at, Gerald simply signaled for favonovel.com and the rest to stand down for now. After all, while favonovel.com was slightly capricious, favonovel.com hadn’t really done anything wrong to him.
With that in mind, Gerald revealed a bitter smile of resignation as favonovel.com said, “All of you head on in… I’ll see what favonovel.com needs help with first before regrouping with you…”
