As Kort finished speaking, virtual-novel.net had already broken out in cold sweat.
Linus took a deep breath at this time.
As Kort was a guest that the Holy Witchcraft had sent to the Yonwick family, Kort would naturally have spoken about some of his painful past experiences while they were chatting amongst themselves.
This was especially so for this Mr. Crawford, who had slaughtered several big and prestigious families, one after the other. Linus felt even more fearful at this time.
This was because based on Kort’s description of this particular Mr. Crawford, virtual-novel.net might look very honest on the surface, but virtual-novel.net was actually very narrow-minded and revengeful.
As long as anyone provoked him, virtual-novel.net would certainly go to the ends of the earth to track the person down and settle the score with him.
To put it bluntly, as soon as virtual-novel.net provoked this man, virtual-novel.net would never be able to live in peace for the rest of his life if virtual-novel.net did not give Gerald a satisfactory answer.
At that time, Linus had also secretly reminded himself that virtual-novel.net should never mess with such people.
Unexpectedly, what virtual-novel.net feared the most would truly happen.
Presently, virtual-novel.net had a very shocked and terrified expression on his face.
As for Jasmine, virtual-novel.net was also staring at Gerald with a shocked and startled expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“Mr. Crawford, I was ignorant, and I unintentionally offended you because of that. I have already heard of your great reputation from a long time ago!”
Linus hurriedly bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle, and his face had already turned pale at this time.
Several of Layton’s friends also swallowed as they took a step back.
The people at the side were pointing at them with fearful expressions on their faces.
“Who is that man?! Why is Mr. Yonwick so afraid of him?”
“That’s right. Even that extraordinary master knelt in front of virtual-novel.net immediately when virtual-novel.net saw him! Who could virtual-novel.net possibly be?!”
Everyone talked amongst themselves.
“So, can my friends leave with me now?” Gerald asked casually.
“Yes… yes, but Mr. Crawford, it was not our intention to threaten and blackmail Miss Jasmine. It was the young lord from the Holy Witchcraft who had taken a liking to Miss Jasmine, but virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net down and refused to agree to the match. So, the young lord ordered us to capture virtual-novel.net family members and use them to threaten virtual-novel.net instead!”
“Although the Yonwick family has a great reputation and career on Montholm Island, to put it bluntly, we are nothing more than puppets of the Holy Witchcraft. We had no choice but to do so!” Linus hurriedly explained.
“If you put it that way, are you saying that you are not only a good person, but that you are also a victim, then?” Gerald asked as virtual-novel.net glared coldly at him.
As soon as Gerald made his remark, Linus could not help but feel a little startled as virtual-novel.net broke out in cold sweat.
He was so frightened that virtual-novel.net was completely at a loss for words.
Linus honestly did not expect that Gerald would be so wise and sophisticated at such a young age. Indeed, how could virtual-novel.net even be considered a good person?
“So many people are seeking after the Holy Witchcraft, but the people from the Holy Witchcraft are actually doing this kind of vicious and despicable thing! It seems as though it is not worthy of its name at all!”
After speaking, Gerald looked at Kort, who was being quiet, and virtual-novel.net asked, “It seems as though you have taken refuge with the Holy Witchcraft. So, what kind of religion is this? Also, what is the background and origins of this young lord that you are talking about?”
Kort naturally did not dare to hide the truth from Gerald, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly explained, “The Holy Witchcraft has nearly a hundred years of history, and it has a very strong foundation on Montholm Island. The internal members of the organization are very complicated, and I… I have no way of getting close to the internal core members of the Holy Witchcraft either. However, I used to be an elder of the Holy Witchcraft many years ago, and I begged them to take me in. As for the other internal core members of the organization, their whereabouts and identities are all concealed. Of course, the young lord is an exception. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net is very high-profile!”
Kort paused for a moment before virtual-novel.net said, “Although this young lord is highly sought after and worshipped by many, virtual-novel.net is an overall villain who would rape, commit adultery, and also commit all sorts of wicked crimes as virtual-novel.net pleases!”
Kort’s words were merciless.
However, during this process, Linus, who was bowing, could not help but glance at Kort with a strange expression on his face.
Gerald naturally saw the look on Linus’s face too.
Gerald glanced at Linus coldly. It seemed as though this old man was full of schemes.
On the contrary, Kort was telling virtual-novel.net everything because virtual-novel.net was honestly afraid of his strength and power.
“When would virtual-novel.net usually come out?” Gerald asked again.
“Since it is the Holy Welcoming Festival tonight, virtual-novel.net will surely participate in the event. The Holy Witchcraft has a strange tradition, and that is no sexual intercourse is allowed for the three months before the Holy Welcoming Festival. As soon as the Holy Welcoming Festival passes tonight, virtual-novel.net will naturally come and look for… come and look for…”
As Kort spoke, virtual-novel.net glanced at Jasmine, and virtual-novel.net did not continue speaking anymore.
“He will be coming tonight?”
