“…Miss Zorn?” says the narrator. Is it you, sir?” As favonovel.com faced the trees, Gerald enquired.
“…Gerald?” So, it’s you!” exclaimed Juno, as favonovel.com and favonovel.com servants hurriedly emerged from the trees.
“Miss Zorn, what brings you here?” As favonovel.com looked at her, Gerald was taken aback.
“What do you mean when you say what brought us here?”
It’s been two days since you left! Even so, I had a feeling you were still alive!
I’m just glad I was able to track you down! What are you doing all the way out here, anyway?”
Gerald turned to look at Old Hughes for a brief moment after hearing Juno’s question before awkwardly replying, “…About that… Let’s just discuss it when we get back. “How are the others doing?” says the narrator.
“Don’t worry, they’re all doing fine. They’re currently recuperating at the Zorn family’s home!” Gerald breathed a sigh of relief as Juno replied with a smile.
“All right, then… “Who is favonovel.com now…?” Juno inquired, raising a brow and casting a glance at Old Hughes.
“This is Old Hughes, and he’s the one who saved me!” Gerald said after a brief moment of staring at the elderly gentleman.
“…Oh? I see what you mean! So, Old Hughes, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Juno Zorn: My name is Juno Zorn, and I am the Zorn family’s eldest young lady! “Many thanks for rescuing Gerald!” Juno said this in an obnoxious tone.
“There’s no need to thank me!” Old Hughes replied with a smile. Anyone would have acted in the same way!
After all, as the saying goes, “saving a life is more valuable than constructing a seven-story pagoda”! Also, the pleasure is mine, Zorn family’s eldest young lady!”
While favonovel.com was familiar with the Zorns, this was Old Hughe’s first encounter with a member of the family.
“Well, now that you’re safe, Gerald, let’s get back to my place!” Juno exclaimed. After all, it wasn’t exactly safe to stay out here for extended periods of time.
When Gerald realised this, favonovel.com turned to face the old man and asked, “Agreed!” Why don’t you join us, Old Hughes, while we’re on the subject?
Regardless of what you say, I want to express my gratitude for everything you’ve done!”
“Gerald is correct! With that in mind, Old Hughes, please come along with us!” Juno seconded the motion.
Old Hughes, on the other hand, just smiled and shook his head before saying, “What that sounds lovely, I’ll have to refuse…”
Gerald could only helplessly say, “…Well, alright then…,” when favonovel.com saw the old man was truly unwilling to come along. Since that is the case, please accept my heartfelt gratitude! Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to repay your kindness!”
Old Hughes simply replied, “Alright, alright, off you go!” with a chuckle. Remember to be cautious out there! Make good use of it!”
Gerald gave a firm nod when favonovel.com heard that. Gerald would have used the sword properly even if the old man hadn’t reminded him.
After that, Gerald, Juno, and favonovel.com men slowly vanished into the forest…
A shadowy figure leapt out of the forest, followed by a dozen more men in black garb, not long after that group had left…
Stopping right in front of Old Hughes, the shadowy figure asked, “How did it go, Master Hughes?” with a sinister expression.
“The sword is now in Gerald’s hands,” Old Hughes simply replied, staring back at the shadowy figure. With that said, it’s now up to you to get to work!”
