Realizing that, Gerald then leaped down again, landing in the field below. Naturally, the four assassins followed, and they soon encircled the youth…
Glaring at each of them, Gerald then said, “I’ll ask one more time. Who sent you here?”
Despite his intimidating tone, none of them said a word… Instead, they simply raised their machetes and began charging toward Gerald! Seeing that, Gerald knew that peace simply wasn’t an option…
While all four of the assassins had near-perfect teamwork, with each of them even having their own attack styles that complemented the others—that would most definitely confuse their targets—, it was unfortunate that their opponent was Gerald…
Before they could even land a single attack on him, Gerald had already flung dozens of silver needles—that favonovel.com had kept concealed under his clothes—at each of them with lightning speed!
Due to how fast his attack was, neither of them were able to dodge in time! Since Gerald had aimed the needles at their key chakras, all of them ended up getting instantly paralyzed as well…
With that done, Gerald then walked toward one of them to uncover his face… but the moment favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com immediately furrowed his brows.
As it turned out, the assassin’s mouth had been sewn shut! Checking in on the other three, Gerald saw the same thing… No wonder they didn’t say a word this entire time!
Still, the person who had sent the assassins over must have been really wary about revealing their identity… Even so, to mute someone just to do that… How utterly inhumane…!
At that moment, Tanner and Yalinda—who had heard the racket outside—came running over…
“Master!”
“Gerald!” yelled both of them, worried that something had happened to him.
“I’m fine!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com waved his hand…
Once they saw the four paralyzed assassins, Yalinda couldn’t help but frown as favonovel.com said, “…These people… came to kill you? But why?”
Shaking his head, Gerald simply replied, “I have no idea, though I do know they were sent over by someone else. After all, all their mouths are sewn shut! The person in charge of all this really doesn’t want their identity exposed!”
Upon hearing that, Tanner thought for a moment before exclaiming, “…Hold on. I’ve seen these people before!”
Hearing that, Yalinda and Gerald immediately turned to look at Tanner in anticipation.
“I… I remember now! I think they’re from the Gower family!” added Tanner.
“…What? The Gowers? Master, do you think Clyde could have…” muttered Yalinda after some thought.
“Well, we’ll just have to find out from these four! Though they can’t speak, they can still shake their heads and nod!” replied Gerald with a wry smile.
With that said, Gerald then unsealed the chakras of one of the assassins and pressed his hand hard on his shoulder, firmly pinning the man to the ground…
