“I-I don’t know where virtual-novel.net is! She only came to the school to visit me once. Other than that, we’ve only communicated through the phone!” cried out Natasha.
“Call virtual-novel.net then!” ordered Gerald.
He had to meet up and deal with Xavia as soon as virtual-novel.net could. Gerald couldn’t have virtual-novel.net troubling virtual-novel.net all the time.
‘If I’ve done anything wrong to you, take your revenge on me! Your mistake was hurting those close to me,’ Gerald thought to himself. He just couldn’t stand people like that.
As Natasha reached for virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net kept signaling to virtual-novel.net subordinates—using virtual-novel.net eyes—to take down Gerald and the duo. However, none of the guards even dared to move. They all knew how strong Gerald’s people were so they didn’t do anything. Only people like Scorpion would be able to deal with Tyson and Drake.
Understanding that they weren’t going to act, Natasha could only hand over virtual-novel.net phone to Gerald in defeat.
Gerald quickly found Xavia’s number and called her. He soon found out, however, that Xavia’s phone had been turned off.
“Why is virtual-novel.net phone turned off?”
“H-how should I know?”
“If you aren’t going to be honest with me, maybe this will make you more willing to comply. Tyson!”
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!” He then pulled out another silver needle and brought it close to virtual-novel.net neck.
“W-wait!” At that moment, Natasha began crying before virtual-novel.net said, “I-I’m telling the truth! That really is my sister’s number!” replied Natasha between wails.
No matter how much Tyson threatened to bring the needle closer to her, virtual-novel.net kept repeating the same thing.
Tyson looked at Gerald. Gerald frowned before waving his hand. Tyson then immediately let go of virtual-novel.net after seeing the gesture.
Gerald was just trying to scare virtual-novel.net into telling the truth, but apparently virtual-novel.net hadn’t lied in the first place. Even if virtual-novel.net really wanted to beat Natasha up, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could never bring himself to actually do it.
After all, virtual-novel.net was the reason why Xavia dropped out. It was the only reason why virtual-novel.net had taken the slap earlier. He saw it as returning a favor to Xavia.
Knowing that it was no use staying here, Gerald continued to frown as virtual-novel.net walked out of the room.
“Mr. Crawford, what should we do with these people?” asked Drake as virtual-novel.net pointed at the bodies lying on the ground.
Gerald simply nodded before leaving.
A second later, horrible shrieks could be heard coming from inside the room. Those guards had no right to be begging for their lives.
Walking over to the bar, Gerald ordered a beer. He was deep in thought, wondering how virtual-novel.net should deal with Xavia.
When Gerald turned to look to his side, virtual-novel.net was surprised. Sitting beside virtual-novel.net was a girl, sipping on virtual-novel.net champagne.
He considered talking to her, but eventually chose not to.
However, his curiosity got the better of virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net ended up looking at virtual-novel.net again, just to check if virtual-novel.net was really the person virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was. Much to virtual-novel.net annoyance, the girl noticed his second glance and turned to look at virtual-novel.net as well.
This resulted in both of them staring at each other in shock.
“….Gerald?”
“Maia?”
At that moment, both of them simultaneously called out each other’s names.
“Why are you here?” asked Maia.
“I just came for a drink. What a coincidence!” replied Gerald, still feeling surprised.
Maia was Gerald’s acquaintance from high school. However, the two of them never shared the same class, so how did they end up getting to know each other?
Well, since Gerald’s grades had always been extraordinary during his high school days, virtual-novel.net had often gone for competitions with a team representing the school.
Back then, Gerald was always happy when virtual-novel.net got a chance to participate in competitions since virtual-novel.net would be able to somewhat gain a sense of honor. Aside from that, virtual-novel.net would also be able to eat good food and stay in fancy places.
The team consisted of 24 people, with twelve being male and the other twelve female. Maia was on the team as well, and virtual-novel.net main role was the team captain.
