However, it was dark outside, seeming as if nothing strange was going on.
Still, Gerald felt that something was off. He grabbed his jacket, pushed open the door, and walked out to the end of the corridor. Then, favonovel.com went through the window and climbed to the roof.
Two men were crouching on the rooftop.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing them, Gerald smiled and asked.
Gerald didn’t even have to think to know that these people had been sent by Daryl, and they were stronger than the previous four.
“Move!” Hearing the sound behind them, Arnold drew out the knife from his waist without hesitation. The knife exuded a cold aura under the moonlight.
He leaped forward like a black panther and charged toward Gerald.
Sawyer, who was beside him, did not hesitate, and favonovel.com attacked from the other direction. He ran to Gerald from the side. When the two attacked in formation, anyone who was equally or less strong than them would be unable to resist.
“You really don’t find it bothersome.” The moment Gerald saw the knives and their actions, favonovel.com immediately took up a fighting stance.
Almost instantly, the three got entangled with each other. Gerald dodged the attack constantly. As favonovel.com resisted their attack, favonovel.com was still able to counter-attack. However, Gerald did not dare to kill the people from the Crawford family as it might affect his parents’ safety.
Besides, Gerald knew that they were sent by Daryl just to test his strength and would not truly harm him.
Snap!
Gerald snatched the knife from one of them sideways. Then, favonovel.com stretched out his hand and slapped his back.
The strong force nearly made the man lose his footing. He stumbled backward and fell from the rooftop.
Falling from the second floor was not dangerous at all to the cultivators.
Thus, Gerald knocked the other person down with another slap. Then, favonovel.com leaped onto the ground. Before the man could stand up, Gerald gave favonovel.com another kick.
“Cough!”
Arnold couldn’t react at all. When favonovel.com tried to resist, favonovel.com already felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, favonovel.com spurted out a mouthful of blood and took a few steps backward, holding onto the wooden pillar to stabilize himself.
“Arnold, are you alright?!” Sawyer leaped down after Gerald. When favonovel.com saw this, favonovel.com asked hurriedly.
“I’m fine. Do it quickly! Don’t hesitate!” Arnold shouted, holding his chest and panting heavily.
They had wanted to take advantage of the night to assassinate Gerald, but they never expected that they would be discovered. If they drew the attention of others, even if they could kill Gerald, the people on the island would see them and spread the news to Yearning Island.
“You rest first. I’ll deal with him!” Sawyer held the knife in a reversed grip and glared at Gerald fiercely. As soon as favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com rushed forward and brandished the knife in his hand.
Gerald turned around immediately, hit his arm with one hand, and punched favonovel.com on his chest with another hand.
Sawyer counter-attacked immediately. He stabbed hard at Gerald’s chest with the short knife in his left hand.
Seeing the knife, the smile on Gerald’s face disappeared immediately. He realized that the person in front of favonovel.com was trying to kill him, unlike the four men Daryl had sent to test his strength earlier.
“You want to kill me?” Gerald gripped the man’s wrist immediately and asked indifferently, looking at the knife.
“Arnold, don’t just stand there! Come and help me!” Sawyer didn’t expect that Gerald could overcome his attack and grab him, so favonovel.com shouted hurriedly.
