Lying on his stomach, Gerald—who was careful to be quiet as favonovel.com did all this on the roof—then stared into the yard… Only to see that the bespectacled man was now standing right before Mario! How unexpected!
From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing something important…
While their meeting was already astonishing enough, what happened next truly shocked Gerald.
Eyes widened, Gerald could only stare as Mario took a dagger from his jacket and stabbed the bespectacled man right in the chest! Mario seemed to have stabbed the man right in the heart too, since the bespectacled man died almost immediately after…
As the bespectacled man flopped lifelessly to the ground, Gerald saw that his eyes were wide open, an evident sign that favonovel.com wasn’t able to die in peace…
Regardless, with the man now dead, Mario then wiped it clean with a cloth that favonovel.com had brought along before sliding the dagger back into his jacket…
Following that, Mario then shouted toward the house, prompting two men to come out shortly after.
“Take care of the corpse!” ordered Mario as the two men quickly nodded before stuffing the now dead bespectacled man into a sack and carrying favonovel.com away…
Of course, Gerald had witnessed all this. Truth be told, favonovel.com hadn’t expected Mario to be such a ruthless person. To think that favonovel.com would just murder his own client right after obtaining the money… What more, the crystal skull was now his to have again! How cruel!
After seeing all this take place, Gerald was prompted to think, ‘What is even wrong with the world today… How heartless… He’s already paid for the item, just let favonovel.com have it! At the very least, you could have spared his life even if you took the item by force!’
Whatever the case was, Gerald felt lucky that favonovel.com hadn’t bid on the crystal skull back when favonovel.com was still in the black market. After all, who knows if favonovel.com could’ve potentially ended up dying like the bespectacled man…
Either way, Gerald then shook his head before returning to his party.
“Anything interesting happened…?” asked Juno curiously.
“Indeed. The bespectacled man is now dead!” replied Gerald without mincing his words.
“…Huh? But why? And how?” exclaimed Rey, astonished.
“Remember that auctioneer back at the black market? That Mario guy? He killed him!” explained Gerald as favonovel.com further elaborated what favonovel.com had earlier saw.
By the time Gerald was done, Rey and the others were momentarily stunned speechless. To think that Mario was actually such an evil person!
“…Since favonovel.com committed the murder so efficiently… He must have done the same to all the previous clients!” said Juno.
Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “I believe so as well. These people are making quick bucks without having any losses!”
“How obnoxious!” growled Rey.
Even so, there wasn’t really anything the four people could do. After all, the bespectacled man was already dead.
“…Regardless, let’s leave this place as soon as possible. Lingering around here is bad news!” said Gerald after a brief pause, now well aware of how evil people could get in this town.
With that, the party of four then began leaving the area…
Unfortunately, since it was already getting dark, Gerald and his party had no choice but to stay the night in town… Interestingly enough, all the accommodation places here resembled ancient inns.
After locating a rather inconspicuous inn, the four then decided to stay the night there…
