After saying that, virtual-novel.net immediately looked at Naomi. Her action was clear enough for the staff member to instantly catch on to what virtual-novel.net was trying to imply.
“Kind ladies and gentleman, could you please present your registration number to me?” asked the staff member as virtual-novel.net walked over to Gerald’s group.
“We… We don’t have one…” said Naomi as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head in embarrassment.
“Ah, then do head over there to pay for one,” said the staff member as his gaze grew slightly colder.
“We… Don’t have the money for that…” said Naomi as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lower lip.
“What? Did they actually sneak into this place?”
“Hey now, take a look around you! Why would you even come here if you don’t have any money?”
“That’s right! Such a beautiful girl too… Too bad virtual-novel.net behaves this way!”
Several of the businessmen in the lobby were now shaking their heads with disapproving smiles on their faces.
“G-Gerald, Naomi… Why don’t we just leave for now?” said Naomi’s mother as virtual-novel.net tugged on virtual-novel.net daughter’s sleeve. After all, virtual-novel.net was well aware that virtual-novel.net was just making things difficult for both Gerald and virtual-novel.net daughter.
“There’s no need for that, Madam. Just leave it to me,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned to face the staff member before glaring back with his own cold gaze.
“I’m sure you’re new here, so I’ll let it slide. Ask for Joshua Jenkinson to come out! Tell virtual-novel.net that a young man with the surname of Crawford is looking for him!”
“Wha- Y-you… How dare you address the master by his name?! What do you mean by Crawford? You… You rude person, you!” replied the staff member in his shock.
The other businessmen in the room shared the same feeling as well, and they were all looking at Gerald now with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
“F*ck! Just look at this guy! If Master Jenkinson ends up being infuriated by his rudeness, then nobody is going to be able to meet virtual-novel.net today!” said Mollie aloud. She seemed to be enjoying fueling the flames.
Hearing that, the others in the room immediately grew angry.
“She’s right! Where did this guy even come from? How utterly rude!”
Even the aloof woman and old man from earlier were now looking at Gerald.
“He truly is asking for it, isn’t he!” said Quest as virtual-novel.net sneered before walking over to Gerald.
While the old man and the woman clearly knew that Quest was looking for trouble, they didn’t stop him. Perhaps they subconsciously felt that the fearless Gerald needed to be put in his place.
“Hey, you’re the b*stard who was riding the electric tricycle, weren’t you? If you’re penniless, then just get lost already! Stop disturbing those who want to meet the master to get diagnosed!” shouted Quest as virtual-novel.net pressed his hand down hard on Gerald’s shoulder.
As Gerald looked at the hand on his shoulder, virtual-novel.net said, “Move your hand away if you don’t want to regret it.”
Upon saying that, his calm aura was immediately replaced with a frigid coldness.
“Regret? Haha! I’m afraid you don’t know what I do for a living!” sneered Quest as virtual-novel.net began intensifying the force of his palm.
To his surprise, virtual-novel.net was only able to realize that Gerald had tilted his shoulder slightly before a sickening crack could be heard.
The sound that followed was the anguished cries of pain from Quest.
He immediately retreated from where virtual-novel.net once stood as virtual-novel.net held on to his pulsing hand while shouting, “M-my hand!”
Quest appeared to be in great pain as cold sweat dripped down his forehead. When virtual-novel.net finally took a look at the condition of his hand, virtual-novel.net could see that all his veins were bulging so much that they almost looked like earthworms.
“I… I’ll break your limbs!” roared Quest, feeling that virtual-novel.net had just been greatly humiliated.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to pounce on Gerald, the ill old man shouted, “Quest! Stop, right this instant!”
Though Quest hadn’t realized it, the old man had already caught a glimpse of the back of his pulsing hand. Upon seeing the damage that had been done, the old man was filled with a mighty fear.
After all, virtual-novel.net knew how strong Quest was. He was also well aware that Quest was proficient in fighting alone. Even if three specially trained soldiers were to face him, they’d surely be the ones losing terribly.
Despite all that, all it had taken for Gerald was a slight tilt of his shoulder for Quest to get hurt so badly. If that was the only thing Gerald needed to do to inflict so much damage, then the old man didn’t even want to imagine how strong Gerald truly was.
“Step down I said!” ordered the old man again.
Even the aloof beauty who had been staring at Gerald for a while now had a slight frown on virtual-novel.net face.
“I apologize, sir… My grandson was truly rude earlier…” said the old man.
As soon as his sentence ended, however, virtual-novel.net instantly began coughing terribly.
