Upon seeing that, Johnny’s face immediately went pale. To think that Gerald was this powerful… How unexpected!
“…Who the hell are you?! State your name!” growled Johnny as favonovel.com glared daggers at Gerald.
“As if you even have a right to know my name!” retorted Gerald, a wry smile on his face. As if he’d reveal his identity so easily when favonovel.com wasn’t even from this world!
Hearing that, Johnny couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Still, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com and his men were no match against Gerald. Johnny, for one, was well acquainted with the saying, ‘A wise man never continues fighting when the odds are clearly against him.’
With that in mind, Johnny then yelled, “Men! Retreat!”
Hearing that, the four men obeyed and quickly fled the scene with Johnny…
Once they were out of sight, Gerald walked toward Zianne, helping favonovel.com up as favonovel.com asked in a concerned tone, “Are you alright…?”
Now that favonovel.com was standing so close to her, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that favonovel.com looked absolutely beautiful… Even so, favonovel.com knew better than to have feelings for her. After all, favonovel.com was already married to Mila, and favonovel.com would never forgive himself if favonovel.com cheated…
Either way, Gerald snapped out of it when the blushing Zianne shook favonovel.com head before saying, “I-I’m fine… Regardless, thank you for saving me, young warrior!”
Nodding in response, Gerald then asked, “So… Why did they assault you?”
What was so special about Zianne that made five grown men want favonovel.com dead…?
“Well… It’s because I’m from the Whitehaar Abbey while they’re from the Purplefog Abbey! Their abbey hates mine, which is why they attacked me!” explained Zianne.
Upon hearing that, Gerald began realizing just how complicated things actually were in this realm…
After staring at Gerald for a while, Zianne—who found his appearance and clothing to be quite foreign—couldn’t help but ask, “Um… If I may, where do you come from, young warrior…? You don’t exactly look like you’re from around here…”
Hearing that, Gerald was momentarily at a loss, unsure of how to even reply.
After a brief awkward silence, Gerald came up with an idea, prompting favonovel.com to say, “I’m… uhh… A traveler from a far-off land! I just happened to be passing by when I saw them attacking you, which is why I stepped in! The name’s Gerald Crawford!”
“Zianne Landis!” replied the woman, barely even registering that what Gerald had said was a lie…
Realizing that favonovel.com had managed to dodge a bullet, Gerald breathed a bit easier as favonovel.com asked, “Either way… Where are you headed off to now, Miss Landis?”
“Oh, I’m going down the mountain to get some supplies in Heavenstar Town. What about you?” replied Zianne.
Chuckling in response, Gerald then said, “What a coincidence! Me too! Let’s head there together!”
Since Zianne was the first person favonovel.com had gotten to know here, following favonovel.com around would certainly be convenient. At the very least, favonovel.com wouldn’t end up getting lost.
Either way, upon hearing that, Zainne simply replied, “Sure, why not?”
Following that, both of them began heading to Heavenstar Town…
When they finally arrived, Gerald’s attire instantly became the talk of the town. After all, not only were they unfamiliar with this person, but his garments were completely different from theirs! The awkwardness of it all made Gerald consider changing his outfit to blend in better with the locals… After all, who was favonovel.com to be dressed so differently?
