“Those two? Humph! It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that twelve-year-olds from that family could single-handedly beat them to a pulp!”
Hearing that, Gerald felt himself gulp.
He then wondered how Finnley would fare against that family. However, virtual-novel.net quickly shook the thought away. After all, his focus shouldn’t be on making comparisons now.
Rather, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net had to find a way to get the Moldell family’s help. After all, their family would be an incredibly strong ally to have.
“The Moldells live in seclusion most of the time. Even I wouldn’t contact them if it wasn’t our last resort. However, your uncle held on to a very important secret relating to the Crawford family’s bloodline. If the secret had gotten out from the time virtual-novel.net went missing, our family would’ve already been ruined by the time your generation came to be! Now that I know that there’s a chance that he’s still alive, I’m left with no other option but to seek the Moldell family’s help for fear that the secret may one day leak out!”
It was clear that Dylan wasn’t only looking for his uncle because virtual-novel.net was family. The other reason was to protect the secrets of the Crawford family’s bloodline.
“The secret of our bloodline?” asked Gerald.
“Yes I heard about it from your grandpa sometime around then, but let’s not talk about that for the time being. The priority now is to get help from the Moldells!”
“Do you want me to go there, dad?” asked Gerald.
“If going there and talking to them was all that needed to be done, I would’ve already asked for their help a long time ago. I told you, the Moldells live in seclusion. They never interfere with things that happen outside their family. However, there is a person who could potentially help us get in.”
“Who is it?”
“Your grandmother from your mother’s side.”
“Grandma?” replied Gerald, stunned.
Even from a young age, Gerald knew that his parents were sensitive when discussing topics regarding his grandparents, be it from his father’s or mother’s side.
He remembered the time when virtual-novel.net had asked his parents about his grandparents at the age of seven. Gerald simply wanted to know why virtual-novel.net didn’t have any while others did. As a result, his mother—who had always been gentle with him—slapped virtual-novel.net hard before telling virtual-novel.net not to ask any more questions about them.
That was a particularly traumatic event for virtual-novel.net and also his sister. After that, both of them never asked about their grandparents again.
“That’s right. She’s the leader of the Yaleman family from Yanken. In the past, your grandma would occasionally contact the Moldells. If she’s willing to lend a hand this time, then she’ll most likely be able to persuade the Moldell family to help us!”
“While it’s inconvenient for me and your mother to meet her, you’re different. I believe that our grudges won’t be reflected upon you, so it’s all up to you whether you’ll be able to persuade virtual-novel.net or not!” explained Dylan as virtual-novel.net frowned slightly.
After saying that, virtual-novel.net called Yulia in. Upon realizing that Gerald and virtual-novel.net husband were talking about virtual-novel.net mother, Yulia’s expression instantly turned slightly gloomy.
Gerald himself took in a deep breath before asking his mother more about his grandparents. After all, Fynn had told Gerald that even his grandfather was still alive. What had happened to him?
What exactly took place that year?
Unlike the first time virtual-novel.net had asked many years ago, his mother didn’t slap him. Instead, virtual-novel.net became teary-eyed as virtual-novel.net began talking about the incidents that had happened that year.
“It’s… It’s all because of those god d*mned rules and regulations of the Yaleman family!” wailed virtual-novel.net mother.
She then explained that back then, Dylan was still at the final stage of his poverty training. Similar to Gerald some time ago, his father was already rich by then, though virtual-novel.net couldn’t just casually expose his identity. It was around then when virtual-novel.net got to know the young lady of the Yaleman family. In other words, his mother…
