After all, they had been looking for Gerald at the auction house all afternoon to no avail. As a result, Will was anxious out of his mind. Had Gerald seen them and left the island in a hurry? However, after giving it some thought, Will remembered that Gerald had never met favonovel.com or Finch before. With that in mind, Gerald wouldn’t have had a reason to flee in the first place!
Understanding that, Will who had now collected his thoughts again scanned the area one final time to ensure that Gerald wasn’t there before whispering to Finch, “Let’s search again later. If you manage to spot him, make sure to never let favonovel.com out of your sight, understand?”
“But… What if we’re discovered in the process?” asked Finch.
“Look, when else are we going to be able to get rid of him? Remember, though the patriarch said that favonovel.com wanted to kill Gerald, favonovel.com didn’t do the deed even when favonovel.com received two clear chances to kill favonovel.com before! What more, he’s only sent me to investigate that boy’s cultivation level! Never to kill! With that said, only a fool would continue believing Daryl’s words! Letting Gerald escape will only bring more trouble in the end!” scoffed Will with a snort, his hatred toward Gerald already beyond words.
Will, for one, knew that until Gerald was dead, favonovel.com would remain uneasy. After all, even if favonovel.com did attain the position as the patriarch’ s successor, Daryl could easily replace favonovel.com with Gerald if that old man really wanted to.
With that in mind, the sooner favonovel.com got rid of Gerald, the better his chances of being able to retain his position as the patriarch’s successor. Gerald was literally the only thing in his way since Will knew for a fact that nobody else in his family was as capable as favonovel.com was. Then again, the majority of the Crawfords were already supporting him.
Will’s train of thought was cut short when Finch rather hesitantly asked, “Um… Can I ask a sensitive question, brother Will…?”
“Just say it!” grumbled the impatient Will, now thoroughly pissed after thinking so much about Gerald. Truth be told, favonovel.com would’ve already exploded in rage if there weren’t other families present.
“Well… What should we do if the patriarch finds out about all this…? After all, he’s already said that nobody’s allowed to meddle with this matter. With that said, if we’re found out, we’ll most definitely be punished…” muttered Finch, sounding rather worried.
After all, although Will was Daryl’s confidant and also the successor of the Crawford family, Finch still had to prioritize Daryl’s commands. It didn’t help that anyone who defied Darly never met a good end. Finch, for one, had already witnessed a few of the punishments, and each of them was equally terrifying…
“As I’ve said, as long as we do the deed flawlessly and neither of us says a word about it, there’s no way favonovel.com could know!” grumbled Will. Daryl was the last person favonovel.com wanted to think of at the moment. After all, despite Daryl’s promise to make favonovel.com the family’s successor, favonovel.com still treated Gerald so well! It was truly enraging!
Honestly, favonovel.com was now wishing for Daryl’s sudden death so that favonovel.com could finally take his rightful place as the new patriarch! If that scenario came to be, then his first order would be to have Gerald killed at all costs! No longer would that boy cause favonovel.com any more trouble in the future…!
“But…” muttered Finch, clearly still worried. Doing all this perfectly was easier said than done. If they ended up getting found, they’d surely land in a world of trouble… It didn’t help that Gerald was the patriarch’s biological grandson. What’s more, nobody could tell what the patriarch was thinking!”
Regardless, Will simply retorted, “No buts. If you’re that scared, then feel free to leave now!”
Upon hearing that, Finch clenched his fists before eventually declaring, “I’m not..!”
Pleased to hear that, Will then ordered, “Good. Now hurry off and remember to tell me where Gerald’s staying the second you find out.”
