As Gerald had guessed, Harold was calling to have a mystery solved…
However, knowing that the dangerous Tye was probably already somewhere within the city, Gerald wasn’t about to prioritize anything else. Besides, it wasn’t as if favonovel.com needed to help Harold every time favonovel.com was asked to solve a mystery.
With that in mind, Gerald simply replied, “Unfortunately, Mr. Lee, I’m currently not available… There are some things I still need to take care of…”
“I see… But hear me out first, Mr. Crawford! There’s been a murder at the Sun Group building and the victim, a security guard of the company, ended up being sucked dry! This description may be a bit poetic, but it almost seems like his soul had been sucked out!” explained Harold.
“Come again? The Sun Group? A dried-up corpse?!” exclaimed Gerald, instantly recalling that Tye now had the power to drain human souls and energy. To top it all off, the murder had happened in the Sun Group building! The culprit was definitely Tye!
“Indeed, Mr. Crawford! So please, could you-”
“I’m coming over!” replied Gerald before Harold could even finish his sentence.
Immediately hanging up before Harold could say anything else, Gerald then turned to face Master Snyder while saying, “I’ll be leave-”
However, Master Snyder was no longer there! Then again, it wasn’t as though Gerald hadn’t expected that. The man simply enjoyed disappearing and reappearing whenever favonovel.com liked…
Whatever the case was, Gerald then bowed slightly before respectfully declaring, “Thank you for the advice, Master Snyder! I’ll be taking my leave now!”
The second Gerald’s sentence ended, the door slowly creaked open, signifying that Master Snyder had heard the comment.
Nodding in response, Gerald then left the house before speeding off…
It was only when Gerald began driving off when Master Snyder reappeared at his bedroom window. Staring at the car as it quickly disappeared in the distance, Master Snyder then sighed heavily as favonovel.com muttered, “This is all part of the process for you to become an outstanding cultivator, Gerald…!”
With that said, Master Snyder then vanished again…
Fast forward to ten minutes later, Gerald’s car came to a screeching halt before the Sun Group building. It was honestly his first time coming here, and favonovel.com hadn’t anticipated the building to be so large up-close.
Regardless, favonovel.com quickly snapped out of his awe and began walking past all the cars—owned by the Great Council’s members—before going over the cordon tape that surrounded the building…
After entering and asking a few inspectors where Harold was, favonovel.com was directed to the sixteenth floor, the floor where Tye’s office was.
With that in mind, Gerald quickly made his way there…
Upon entering the office, Gerald saw that Harold and his subordinates were already busy investigating the area while also discussing what they had found.
“Mr. Lee!” called out Gerald as favonovel.com began walking toward the man.
The second favonovel.com saw Gerald, Harold looked like favonovel.com had just come across his savior. After all, when it came to the supernatural, Harold knew that favonovel.com could rely on Gerald…
