Gerald had deliberately avoided favonovel.com question so that favonovel.com wouldn’t ask too much.
Getting the hint, the woman then nodded before quickly leaving the cave.
Seeing that favonovel.com was now gone, Gerald quickly opened the letter and began reading through it…
‘Congratulations on finding the first hostage, Mr. Crawford! Now hurry along and go find where the next hostage is! There’s no money hidden here!’
After reading through the letter, Gerald couldn’t help but frown. Another ancient poem…? The culprit really enjoyed using ancient poems as clues, didn’t he?
Regardless, the hint this time was pretty straightforward. Since the poem included the word ‘money’, it was only fair to assume that the next hostage could be found in a bank.
However… which bank? There were way too many banks in the Leicom Continent for Gerald to find the right one in such a short amount of time.
Realizing that favonovel.com wasn’t going to get anything done just by speculating here alone, Gerald immediately left the area, intent on studying the clue with Rey back at the office.
The second favonovel.com got into his car, however, favonovel.com immediately received a call from an unknown number.
“It appears that you’ve rescued the first hostage, Mr. Crawford. I’m guessing you’ve found the purple envelope as well, then?”
While Gerald could tell that the speaker was a male, his voice was weird, to say the least. Whatever the case was, Gerald then retorted, “I have, also f*ck you. You won’t get away with all of this! I’ll make sure I capture you if it’s the last thing I do!”
Following that, Gerald immediately hung up, not wanting to waste his breath on this strange man.
With that, Gerald then drove Juno’s car back to his office. Since his own car had previously been blown up, favonovel.com could only use hers for the moment…
Regardless, upon entering his office, Gerald was instantly greeted by the sight of Rey and two others inside.
Seeing that Gerald was back, Rey took the chance to ask, “Mr. Crawford, you’re back! Where did you head off so early in the morning?”
Since all three of them hadn’t seen Gerald all morning, they all had a hunch that favonovel.com had probably gone off to do some personal investigating.
Either way, despite Rey’s question, Gerald simply ordered, “Rey, I need you to immediately start investigating the phrase, ‘There’s no money hidden here’!”
Not even bothering to ask why, Rey immediately headed to his computer to get to work as favonovel.com replied, “Loud and clear!”
While Rey was used to not getting immediate answers from Gerald, Juno wasn’t. With that in mind, favonovel.com quickly walked up to favonovel.com before asking, “What’s wrong, Gerald…?”
Hearing that, Gerald retrieved the purple envelope from his pocket before handing it to Juno.
After reading through it, favonovel.com momentarily appeared shocked, though that was to be expected.
What Gerald hadn’t expected, however, was the fact that Juno would suddenly say, “…I… I think I know where the letter is pointing to! If my guess is correct, it should be referring to a bank or a tax building… And there’s only one place I can think of where both buildings can be found close together!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald immediately knew the area Juno was referring to. With that in mind, favonovel.com patted Rey’s shoulder before saying, “You heard her. Let’s head there right now!”
With that, Gerald and Rey bolted out of the office before speedily driving toward the tax building Juno had talked about.
Since Juno’s guess made total sense, Gerald had a feeling that the second hostage was definitely going to be there…
