Zyla finally escaped as Peter covered up for her.
However, just as Peter had predicted, virtual-novel.net was a step too late. He could not escape even if virtual-novel.net wanted to.
The King of the Judgement Portal and Yreth from the Gunter family gathered around and surrounded Peter in an instant.
The Gunter family and the King of the Judgement Portal had not given up on the search for them over the past few days.
After all, Gerald had already officially started a feud with them.
This was not merely something that could be expressed with just interest or relationship anymore!
Peter had no way to counterattack in front of these two masters, especially so because there was the King of the Judgement Portal there to suppress him.
So, virtual-novel.net surrendered to the Gunter family without any resistance at all. “Where is Zyla Lockland?”
The King of the Judgement Portal asked coldly as virtual-novel.net turned into the shape of a figure.
“Isn’t it obvious that virtual-novel.net has already escaped before you even arrived? Moreover, it will be very difficult for you to catch her!” Peter said as virtual-novel.net sneered.
“What about Gerald, then?!” Yreth’s eyes were filled with anger and hatred as virtual-novel.net asked angrily at this moment.
“Hahaha! Gerald is no longer here either. Even though both of you are so powerful, it seems as though you always end up empty-handed. You cannot even find the person that you want to find at all!” Peter said as virtual-novel.net looked at them with a satirical expression on his face.
“You b*stard!”
The King of the Judgement Portal was furious and enraged.
“You seem to believe that all of the people that we are looking for have already managed to make their escape. You seem to be very steadfast in your beliefs when you are in fact wrong. In comparison, you are actually a very important chess piece!”
The King of the Judgement Portal said as virtual-novel.net looked at Peter.
“Me?”
“That’s right. As long as you are in our hands, we will not need to worry that Gerald will not come to look for you, then! After all, no matter what it is, you are still his second uncle!” The King of the Judgement Portal roared.
“Still, I am just afraid that you guys will not be Gerald’s opponents at all when virtual-novel.net comes eventually!” Peter said as virtual-novel.net sneered.
Regardless, the King of the Judgement Portal obviously did not have any desire to continue talking to Peter anymore, and virtual-novel.net wanted to chase after Zyla immediately.
“Yreth, I am going to leave everything here to you for the time being. The Gunter family should try to take control of Crawford Manor as soon as possible. When the time comes, Gerald will certainly make an appearance and easily reveal himself!” The King of the Judgement Portal instructed.
“Yes, your highness!” Yreth replied.
When virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net head again, the King of the Judgement Portal was no longer in virtual-novel.net sight.
“It would certainly be very difficult for Gerald to escape again if virtual-novel.net were to come this time!” Yreth said as virtual-novel.net looked at Peter coldly.
“Moreover, the few people who have escaped from Qerton City have also fallen into my hands! So, Gerald will certainly come here!”
“That’s right. I am also very certain that Gerald will certainly come here!”
Peter never expected that the reason why Jasmine and the others had not come back in time even though it had already been so many days was because they had already fallen into the King of the Judgement Portal and Yreth’s hands.
In fact, Peter had already had a foreboding feeling that something might have happened to them.
However, virtual-novel.net truly would not have thought that it would be because of the King of the Judgement Portal and the Gunter family.
Moreover, it was just as Angelica had said.
When it reached a certain point, many things and many people would end up becoming bystanders. The only person who would truly be able to stand up to them was Gerald!
Now… everything depends entirely on you, Gerald!
…
Five days later.
On the island.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were strong waves on the sea.
A seagull that was looking for food flew over the island.
