Soon enough, the duo arrived at what appeared to be a suspended platform.
Looking up and pointing toward it, Gerald then shouted, “Up there!”
As Rey turned to look up, favonovel.com was surprised to see the hair of a woman hanging from the side of the platform!
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the woman lying up there was none other than the bank staff member they had previously saved from the ATM machine! To be captured again immediately after being released from the hospital… What an unfortunate woman…
At that moment, both of them noticed that a figure had been staring intently at them from some rockery formations nearby.
Seeing that, Gerald ordered, “…Go save that woman, Rey. I’m hunting that person down!”
Following that, Gerald bolted straight for the figure, believing that favonovel.com was definitely the culprit behind all this!
As favonovel.com swiftly gained on the now fleeing man, the frustrated Gerald couldn’t help but yell, “Stop running, you coward!”
To Gerald’s surprise, the man did as Gerald told.
After his abrupt halt, the man then slowly turned around to look at Gerald—who had stopped in his tracks as well—before saying in a sinister voice, “So, we finally meet, Mr. Crawford!”
“…Who the hell are you…” growled Gerald as favonovel.com glared daggers at the man.
“Hah! I’m just someone who’s about to die!” replied the man as favonovel.com slowly slid his hood off to reveal his face…
Only for the now stunned Gerald to realize that the person was faceless!
Blank, smooth, and white, the expressionless person would’ve terrified any ordinary person to the point of fainting! Thankfully, Gerald was no ordinary person.
“You… You’re not human, are you!” yelled Gerald as favonovel.com stared at the faceless man.
“That I’m not! Though the same applies to you too, no? Still, unlike you who’s only half ghost, I’m an actual dead person who died drowning!” sneered the strange man.
“…Alright, so… Why did you come looking for me then…?” asked Gerald who was now more confused than anything.
“Listen up! My name is Yorrek Gurland and I drowned in a river three years ago! The one who drowned me was none other than the chairman of the Ember Lord Group, the Ember Lord himself! Regardless, after finding out that you had killed the Ember Lord, I just couldn’t come to terms with it, which is why I came looking for you!” declared Yorrek.
Now understanding that this person had come looking for favonovel.com for killing the Ember Lord, Gerald then replied, “…Couldn’t come to terms? I’m not sure what your thought process is, but shouldn’t you be thanking me now? After all, I’ve technically avenged you by killing him!”
“Silence! He should have died by my hands! You ruined everything!” roared Yorrek almost hysterically.
Hearing that, Gerald could immediately tell how deep his hatred was toward the Ember Lord. To think that Yorrek would be so reluctant to let favonovel.com go, even after the Ember Lord’s death…
“…Well, whatever the case is, he’s already dead! What else do you want?” asked Gerald.
“Heh! While he’s dead, you’re still alive! Since you’re the one who killed him, I’m holding you responsible for all this! With that said, I’m killing you as his substitute!” retorted Yorrek in a frigid tone.
