Whatever the case was, it was only seconds later when both Gerald and Christos’s expressions turned grave.
Both of them had sensed an immense murderous intent rapidly approaching them from the outside!
“…It seems that you’ve been followed, kid! You got a lot of enemies or something?” grumbled Christos.
Since Christos had been laying low in here for decades, there was no way the enemy was coming for him. With that in mind, Gerald understood that it only made sense for the murderous people to be after him…
Still, to think that news about favonovel.com arriving in Rico would spread so quickly… Gerald, for one, hadn’t expected others to be coming after favonovel.com so soon! Had his enemies been observing favonovel.com this entire time…?
Regardless, Gerald could only lower his head in embarrassment as favonovel.com said, “I apologize for the trouble, senior Christos…! Allow me to deal with them first!”
Following that, favonovel.com walked out the grocery store and stood by the door…
By this point, night had already fallen and it was quite dark. Adding that to the fact that not a single soul could be seen walking the streets, the scene was undoubtedly creepy…
It almost felt like danger lurked in every corner…
A split second after Gerald had that thought, several knives began flying toward him!
While Gerald was able to dodge all of them—resulting in the knives getting embedded into the door behind him—, it was too dark to see his assailants.
However, it didn’t take long before a few murderous-looking men—all of them donning black suits—emerged from the shadows!
All of them had longswords in hand, and they quickly surrounded the youth…
