Upon seeing Gerald being dragged off, the old man immediately stopped in his tracks. While favonovel.com was pretty sure that the intruder’s savior was an old woman, favonovel.com aura felt oddly familiar.
“Was that the young mistress…?” muttered the old man to himself. Knowing how quirky the girl was, the man eventually decided to turn back, withdrawng his essential qi in the process.
His thought process was to first contact the young mistress’s family to confirm whether that was truly her. If it wasn’t, then he’d just resume hunting the boy down. While favonovel.com wasn’t able to get a good look at Gerald’s face, nobody escaped his grasps!
Moving back to Gerald, it wasn’t long before favonovel.com found himself back at the building favonovel.com was staying in. Once inside, favonovel.com quickly straightened his clothes before placing his palm and fist together as favonovel.com respectfully said, “Thank you for saving me, senior!”
Had favonovel.com not stepped in at the last moment, Gerald knew that favonovel.com would’ve entered a world of trouble. Hell, even if favonovel.com had managed to escape, favonovel.com was pretty sure that favonovel.com would’ve somehow ended up offending the auction’s organizer… And with the power they possessed, killing favonovel.com would probably be as easy as squashing an ant.
“I told you not to wander about, didn’t I? Still, while I had expected you to end up offending a few people, I never would’ve imagined that you’d dare to head to that mountain!” muttered the old woman who had hardly broken a sweat as favonovel.com sat on favonovel.com folding stool again.
“I just got a bit curious… After all, I hadn’t been able to see the mountain till I was at least a kilometer from it! I never expected to get into trouble just for that…” muttered Gerald as favonovel.com quivered slightly.
“Just go back to sleep. I’m pretty sure that old man wasn’t able to see your face, so you’re good. Besides, you’re not the first to wander into that area by mistake, so you don’t have to worry about your safety,” replied the old woman as favonovel.com waved favonovel.com hand.
“I will… Still, why did you save me earlier? After all, we’ve only met once and I even went against your advice!” muttered Gerald with a smile as favonovel.com squatted before the woman. The fact that favonovel.com wasn’t able to sense any murderous intent from favonovel.com only served to increase his curiosity.
“I was just free at the time,” replied the old woman, prompting Gerald’s eyes to immediately widen, clearly not expecting that answer.
“Either way, it’s getting late, so go get some rest first And remember not to wander about the island anymore. I’m not saving you a second time,” said the old woman as favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head.
“… Very well. Again, I appreciate your help,” replied Gerald with a bow before heading upstairs, knowing that favonovel.com wasn’t going to get any more information out of her.
Regardless, it was about ten minutes later when the old woman got to favonovel.com feet before leaving the building. The place favonovel.com was headed to was near the coast, and not too far from the huge mountain. Upon arriving, favonovel.com was greeted by the sight of a row of houses and several young men donning black uniforms similar to what the men at the port and the shore had been wearing standing guard before the doors of each building.
After entering one of the houses and into favonovel.com room, the old woman slipped favonovel.com clothes off… revealing a set of modem clothes underneath them. Following that, favonovel.com hunchback was quickly straightened and favonovel.com figure turned slender as well. By the time favonovel.com transformation was done, the fair skinned girl looked like favonovel.com was merely in favonovel.com twenties.
The second favonovel.com slipped into a jacket, a knock could be heard at the door, followed by a hoarse voice asking, “Was that you earlier, young mistress?”
“Please enter, Third elder,” replied the woman in an almost ethereal voice.
“Right away,” replied the voice as the door to favonovel.com room opened… Revealing the man who had earlier been chasing Gerald! However, instead of looking sinister, the old man, after taking his hat off had a kind expression on his face.
“Answering your question, yes, that was me. Either way, if favonovel.com still wanders the island after this, just drive favonovel.com away. He must not be hurt,” ordered the young mistress as favonovel.com sat cross-legged on a chair, favonovel.com eyes clear, just like what Gerald had first seen.
“But… This island hides our family’s secrets, young mistress! Just so you know, that kid wasn’t exactly weak, and I’m certain favonovel.com would have eventually been able to get past the essential qi barrier and enter Mount Nimbus had I not stopped favonovel.com earlier!” said the man in gray, a worried expression on his face.
