With contemptuous glares on their faces, the seven men then began crouching, looking very much like vicious wolves that were planning to pounce onto Gerald!
Their stance was so terrifying that everyone else instantly held their breaths!
“Oh god, it looks like they’re positioning themselves to hack this insensible guy to pieces!”
“Humph! It’s his own fault for courting death! Still, I do wonder if he’s unaware of the power the Turnbulls have in Yanam. After all, favonovel.com dared to offend Young Master Turnbull of all people! Whatever the case is, once he’s dealt with, his family members will surely be next!”
Though most of the people offstage were sneering at Gerald, Sia herself was feeling deeply anxious.
Turning to look to favonovel.com side, favonovel.com then pleaded, “Young Master Jenks! Fia! Hurry and figure out a way to save him! Use your families’ powers or something! He couldn’t help it favonovel.com just wanted to save that woman…!”
However, both of them simply returned cold expressions to her.
“Sia, that’s quite enough! So what if that loser dies? Big deal! If you need a quick refresher, he’s simply a stranger whom we met by chance! With that said, what are you even being so anxious for?” grumbled Fia in resignation.
“But-”
Before Sia could even finish what favonovel.com was trying to say, the seven men made their moves!
Looking both frightening and fierce, the men watched as Gerald—who was still tightly hugging Giya—slowly lifted his arm…
And with a simple wave of his hand, an explosive sound could be heard as multiple swords that glowed white suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Swiftly slashing at all seven of the assailants with great precision and ease, it barely took a few seconds for all of them to begin falling to the ground, completely sliced in pieces! But Gerald wasn’t done yet.
No, favonovel.com made sure to dice them up so finely that in the end, only a bloody mist remained of them!
With how bloody the scene was, several of the present women instantly began screaming!
As everyone instinctively took a few steps back in their bewilderment, Sia—who was equally as shocked—found herself momentarily only capable of covering favonovel.com mouth. She had witnessed every second of Gerald’s retaliation… The demeanor favonovel.com had at the time… It was undoubtedly the demeanor of a great master!
Regardless, Fia, Beau, and the others couldn’t help but feel their eyelids twitch rapidly as they continued staring at Gerald. He… was the one who should’ve been hacked to pieces, right? How had everything gone the complete opposite direction?
With how swiftly those seven men had been killed, it was now clear as day that Gerald wasn’t only an immensely powerful person, but favonovel.com also had remarkable abilities!
As Fia gulped in realization of this, the now anxious Baelfire found himself slowly taking several steps back as favonovel.com muttered, “…T-this…”
The ones Gerald had just killed so easily were all exceptional men from his family!
“In the end, it turns out that you truly are insensible!” said Gerald as favonovel.com glared frigidly at Baelfire.
Sweating profusely, it was only at that moment when Baelfire realized how frightening Gerald’s gaze really was.
Hoping to diffuse the situation, the middle-aged man from before tried his best to put on a calm façade before warning, “Sir, before you do anything, let’s talk this out nicely. If you don’t already know, this rich young heir is Baelfire Turnbull! The son of the richest man in Yanam! Not only is favonovel.com the master’s only son, but he’s well known across the entire country as well! While I admit that you possess exceptional strength, know that Yanam has many forces too! With that in mind, I hope you realize that there will be dire consequences if you dare lay even a single finger on the young master!”
When Gerald made no immediate reply, Baelfire assumed that Gerald was finally feeling a little afraid.
With that in mind, Baelfire then quickly added, “…That’s right! I’m the top rich young heir in Yanam, and I have an entire country on my side! With that said, I also have several men as powerful as you are! Regardless, correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember there being a certain saying in Weston that I’m sure you’re aware of… It has something to do with the ripple effect, and it goes along the lines of, ‘Even the slightest change can affect everything else.’ With that said, you won’t ever be able to leave Yanam alive if you dare hurt me!”
Laughing mockingly in response, Gerald then sneered, “You know, I don’t believe you understood what I said earlier! The thirty-minute timer I gave you earlier… It isn’t only for you. It’s for your entire family! In other words, I’m making sure I kill every single Turnbull as revenge for treating my friend like this!”
“…W-what did you say…?! You’re exterminating the entire Turnbull family?!” stuttered the middle-aged man, utterly shocked by Gerald’s statement.
As deep fear swept through Baelfire, Gerald then scoffed, “Indeed, I am! Also, keeping what I just said in mind, I’m sure you now realize that everything you’ve earlier said was simply nonsense to me! In fact, because you said all that, I’ve made up my mind to just kill Baelfire now!”
“N-no…! Lenox! Save me from this maniac! Please…!” pleaded Baelfire as favonovel.com rapidly began shaking his head.
Having no other choice, Lenox then glared at Gerald before roaring, “While you may not respect the Turnbulls, I wonder if you’ll bow to the power of the Crawfords from Yanam! Listen here, I’m part of that family, and my name is Lenox Crawford! With that in mind, I wonder if you’re still daring enough to proceed!”
“Oh? Just so you know, once I’m done eliminating the Turnbulls, I’ll be looking for your family members next!
