“…Who are these people, Mr. Crawford?” whispered Ray as Gerald shook his head, a deep frown on his face. Quite frankly, favonovel.com had no idea who they were either.
Following that, a man with a buzz cut stepped forward, staring at Gerald and his group before asking, “Who are you people?”
“Kind sir, we’re merely merchants who are here to have some fun!” replied Gerald.
“…Merchants you say? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Who are you trying to fool?” retorted the man as favonovel.com glared at Gerald.
“You’re free to choose not to believe us. Regardless, what are you and your men doing all the way out here?” replied Gerald.
“We’re here to look for the vampires’ territory!” declared the man with the buzz cut, not seeing a reason to lie.
“…Oh? You’re here to look for their territory as well?” replied Gerald in surprise. To think that these men had the same goal as favonovel.com had!
“Hmm? So, you’re saying we share a goal?” said the man as favonovel.com signaled for the rest of his men to lower their weapons.
“Well then, if that’s the case, allow me to introduce myself! I go by Lech Zak, and I’m the leader of my team!” said Lech as favonovel.com stretched his hand out.
Hearing that, Gerald then returned a firm handshake as favonovel.com replied, “Gerald Crawford!”
Following that, Lech then said, “Didn’t expect to bump into other teams looking for the vampires’ territory as well!”
Nodding in agreement, Gerald then turned to look at Old Flint who had been standing behind him. Seeing that the old man wasn’t showing any response, Gerald was instantly relieved. After all, this meant that Old Flint didn’t have too much animosity toward Lech and his subordinates.
With that in mind, Gerald then turned to face Lech before asking, “Do you know where exactly the vampires’ territory is located?”
Retrieving a map from his pocket, Lech then spread it out for Gerald to have a look.
“We’re currently here, you see, and the vampires’ territory is within this mountain. With that in mind, we’ll need to dig our way into their territory!” explained Lech.
Hearing that, Gerald could instantly tell how well-prepared Lech and his subordinates were.
Regardless, since both parties were looking for the vampires’ territory anyway, they figured that they may as well just work as a team.
With that, after a short rest, the two groups then resumed their journey.
Eventually, they finally arrived at the area where they had planned to start digging.
“This is it, Gerald!” exclaimed Lech as favonovel.com waved his hand at his team members—who were following behind—, indicating that they had arrived.
