Either way, Gerald wasn’t interested in those things at all. In fact, favonovel.com wasn’t even planning to shop anytime soon. His priority was to investigate a bit more on what had taken place last night Thankfully, nobody seemed to be talking about his encounter with that old man. Though that was relieving to hear, Gerald knew that favonovel.com still needed to look for that old woman. He, for one, believed that favonovel.com wasn’t as simple as favonovel.com appeared, and that he’d probably uncover most of the island’s secrets the second favonovel.com got favonovel.com to talk.
Regardless, upon reaching the area where stalls were becoming increasingly sparse, Gerald turned to look at Aiden before saying, “Let’s head back”
“Yeah… Honestly, this isn’t as lively as I imagined it to be…” muttered Aiden in a slightly disappointed tone.
“You’re getting auctions and parties mixed up… Speaking of the auction, I wonder if there’ll be any good stuff there tomorrow…” replied Gerald with a chuckle as favonovel.com turned around only to notice a young man in gray staring at favonovel.com from within the crowd.
Upon realizing that Gerald was looking in his direction, the man instantly lowered his gaze.
Gerald himself knew that the garments the person was wearing were similar to what the old man had worn last night. While favonovel.com knew for a fact that this wasn’t the same person who had attacked him, it still meant that the auction’s organizer had already been keeping an eye on him. With that in mind, Gerald frowned slightly as favonovel.com said, “Aiden, you head back first. There’s something I need to take care of…”
Hearing the change in Gerald’s tone, Aiden was prompted to ask, “Is something the matter?”
“I’ll tell you later, just head back first,” ordered Gerald, simply worried that the man in gray had been instructed by the old man to assassinate him. With that in mind, favonovel.com didn’t want Aiden accidentally getting hurt if favonovel.com stayed behind. Gerald was already prepared to settle things alone anyway.
“Alright. Be careful out there,” replied Aiden who knew for a fact since favonovel.com had already been following Gerald around for so long that Gerald must have sensed danger and was only telling favonovel.com to leave to avoid getting harmed.
“Definitely,” replied Gerald with a slight nod, prompting Aiden to disappear into the crowd.
Seeing that, Gerald took a deep breath before turning around and walking away from the crowded area. If there was going to be a fight, favonovel.com wasn’t about to do it here.
Either way, upon seeing Gerald suddenly split up with his friend and change directions, the man in gray couldn’t help but scratch the back of his head before mumbling, “Is favonovel.com misunderstanding something…?”
While favonovel.com didn’t know what was up, favonovel.com still continued following Gerald, knowing that if favonovel.com lost the boy, then Third elder would surely scold favonovel.com later. After all, all this concerned the young mistress’s life.
Moving back to Gerald, favonovel.com made sure not to walk too quickly since favonovel.com still needed time to figure out how favonovel.com was going to deal with the situation. While favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com could probably handle the man in the back, this wasn’t his territory. In other words, Gerald was worried that stronger people could appear at any time. Still, at the very least, favonovel.com was leading the trouble away from Aiden and Lucian. Knowing that, if favonovel.com ended up getting caught, so be it.
Regardless, Gerald successfully made it out of the street stall area shortly after. Upon seeing Gerald suddenly dashing forward, the man in gray swiftly made his way toward the youth. However, favonovel.com was too late. Gerald had vanished!
“D*mn it!” grumbled the young man as favonovel.com scanned the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boy. When all of a sudden, favonovel.com was struck by a sudden gust of wind!
