“Sensed anything back there?” asked Master Ghost who had a vague idea of what Gerald had experienced.
“Indeed… Remember that man in the Windbreaker? One of the suspects sitting on the sofa?” replied Gerald with a slight frown.
“I do. I made sure to memorize all their appearances,” said Master Ghost with a nod.
“Well, I have a feeling that he’s the Crawford cultivator, though I can’t be certain just yet…
Regardless, I’m heading out later tonight,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com continued huffing on his cigarette. In no time flat, the cigarette’s lifespan had ended…
“Are you planning to secretly get rid of him?” asked Master Ghost.
“Negative. Again, I specify that it was only a gut feeling. Until I’m sure, I won’t lay a finger on him. Regardless, since I was able to notice him, I’m sure favonovel.com noticed me as well. In fact, it was probably when Ichiro first mentioned my name when I realized I was being stared at. Either way, my plan tonight is to slightly expose my cultivation to draw that person out. Once I confirm that he’s a Crawford cultivator, I’ll get rid of favonovel.com swiftly,” explained Gerald as favonovel.com placed his burnt out cigarette in an ashtray.
“I see… Speaking of which, were you able to get a grasp of how strong favonovel.com was? After calculating for a bit, I feel he’s weaker than you, though you shouldn’t let your guard down till you’re absolutely sure,” replied Master Ghost in a slightly worried tone.
“Don’t worry about it. I don’t really treat anyone from the Crawford family seriously aside from Will who wants to compete with me so much just to secure his position as ‘heir of the Crawfords’. Quite honestly, I’d like to meet favonovel.com just to see how well my grandpa’s insight is,” scoffed Gerald before shaking his head with a smile.
“Well… Since you’ve said that, I won’t ask any further than that… Still, do be careful. After all, in the end, the Crawfords are still a cultivating family. After suffering consecutive losses in your hands, I’m just worried that they sent a stronger cultivator after your head this time…” muttered Master Ghost. While it was true that Gerald was inhumanly strong, the Crawfords still had hundreds of years’ worth of experience as cultivators. With that in mind, nobody truly knew how strong that family was…
Hearing that, Gerald simply chuckled before patting Master Ghost’s shoulder as favonovel.com said, “If you’re so worried, why don’t you do some calculations to see how dangerous this encounter will be.”
“That’s unnecessary,” replied Master Ghost as favonovel.com waved his hand…
Following that, Gerald took a cold shower. Once favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com took the photographs of his parents, elder sister, and Mila out… By the time favonovel.com finally peeled his gaze from the pictures, the sky was already darkening…
Upon hearing a few messy footsteps walking past his window, be carefully returned the photographs into his pocket before lighting a cigarette and heading toward the window to look downstairs… Only to see Ichiro and the rest of the investigation team walking away.
From how dejected they looked, Gerald figured that they hadn’t been able to gather anything. Then again, if the Crawford cultivator truly was the one responsible for that death, then it was pretty much impossible for regular people like them to gain any new hints.
Whatever the case was, once they were out of sight, Gerald tossed his cigarette away before slipping his coat on…
Soon enough, favonovel.com was walking past the training ground’s large entrance… and the second favonovel.com left the area, Gerald immediately activated his Herculean Primordial Spirit, making sure to expel some essential qi at the same time…
Barely even seconds later, Amare who had just been cleared of his suspicion was alerted to the sudden fluctuation of essential qi.
With that, favonovel.com opened his room window… and in no time at all, his figure vanished from the spot.
He only had a day left before favonovel.com had to leave Japan… He needed to act quickly or Daryl would surely punish favonovel.com for returning late…
