‘…Could… I have heard wrong…? There’s just no way, right…?’ Giya thought to herself as virtual-novel.net slowly looked around in disbelief, trying to find the source of that shout.
However, the second virtual-novel.net saw him, virtual-novel.net was so shocked that virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net was possibly still dreaming!
She wanted to say something, anything. But it felt like a lump in virtual-novel.net throat was preventing virtual-novel.net from saying a word…
As for Sia, virtual-novel.net turned to look at Gerald—who was already walking toward the stage—before shouting in surprise, “Huh? You… Know that woman, Gerald?”
“Hah! I guess that loser was so entranced by virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but walk over! From the looks of it, virtual-novel.net doesn’t seem like the kind of person who has the money to buy virtual-novel.net over through auctioning either!” scoffed Beau.
“Who exactly is he? How rude! If virtual-novel.net ends up offending Young Master Turnbull, he’ll definitely end up dead soon! With that said, let’s keep our distance from him!” muttered Yosef with a frown.
Though Sia wanted to at least try to stop the agitated Gerald, virtual-novel.net had already made it to the stage by that point.
While everyone was holding their breaths—unsure of what to even expect to happen—Giya was already in tears as virtual-novel.net muttered, “…G-Gerald… Is… Is that really you…?”
“It is me! I’m so sorry that I’m late! I’m so sorry…!” shouted Gerald as virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net tight, his grief insurmountable.
“What’s the meaning of this, Young Master Turnbull?”
“Yeah! If you want that woman so much then purchase virtual-novel.net first, you shabbily-dressed son of a b*tch! Actually, do you think he’s trying to snatch that beauty away?!”
Below stage, several of the rich young heirs were feeling extremely dissatisfied by Gerald’s actions.
“I must say, virtual-novel.net truly is courting death! Now that I think about it, how did virtual-novel.net even manage to board the main ship? Regardless, please remember not to admit to knowing virtual-novel.net should Young Master Turnbull decide to interrogate us later!” grumbled Fia as virtual-novel.net glared contemptuously at Gerald.
Amidst the chaos, Baelfire turned to look at Gerald before sneering, “Being a bit too impatient, aren’t we, sir? Just so you know, this chick’s starting price is seven million dollars! Please pay that amount first before you place your hands on her! Hahaha!”
Gerald, however, simply ignored him, opting instead to help Giya to virtual-novel.net feet as virtual-novel.net asked, “Are you the only one here? Where are the others?”
“They… your sisters and aunts… they were captured by those people… Following that, the Turnbulls contacted the group of villains and in the end, Baelfire purchased me! However, know that despite being repeatedly humiliated by him, I always tried to fight back the best that I could!” cried out Giya.
“I see… Not to worry, Giya. Everything’s fine now… Now let’s go!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net gently on virtual-novel.net shoulders.
Getting virtual-novel.net onto his back, virtual-novel.net was just about to leave when Baelfire—who had already been annoyed by the fact that Gerald had ignored his earlier statement— furiously shouted, “Hey, now! Where the hell did you even come from, you b*stard? Are you treating me like I don’t exist? Are you even aware of whose territory you’re currently in?!”
Turning to look at him, Gerald then casually replied, “Look, Young Master Turnbull, I’d like to send my friend home first for virtual-novel.net to properly recuperate. Worry not, once I’ve done that, I’ll be looking for you and your family next!”
The second Gerald’s sentence ended, a roar of laughter could be heard from almost everyone within the audience.
“Is that person a nutjob? Who does virtual-novel.net even think virtual-novel.net is?!”
Never imagining that a person would be dumb enough to look for trouble with the Turnbulls, everyone was already mocking Gerald with tears in their eyes as they laughed their lungs out.
Beau himself was flabbergasted as virtual-novel.net declared, “He’s truly lost it! You’re absolutely right, Fia! We can’t ever claim to know him!”
Moving back to Baelfire, virtual-novel.net laughed aloud before shouting, “I admit that you’re brave. However, do you really think that I’ll just stand here doing nothing while you escape with Giya?!”
As if on cue, seven men dressed in black garments then rushed onto the stage before swiftly surrounding Gerald!
“Since you refused to back down, you’ll just have to be beaten up before your corpse gets hacked into pieces!” growled Baelfire.
“With all due respect, Young Master Turnbull, my friend here is already weak enough as virtual-novel.net is! I really need to rush back first to have virtual-novel.net treated! Also, I’ve heard that your rich and powerful family has existed for dozens of generations in Yanam. With that said, I’ll give you half an hour to prepare yourself and let you have your final sense of ceremony. Again, worry not, for I’ll be back to deal with you in exactly thirty minutes!” replied Gerald with a frown.
“You…! You b*stard…! Who the hell do you think you are, spitting such nonsense here?! Also, what are all of you still standing there in a daze for? Beat virtual-novel.net into a pulp already!” roared the infuriated Baelfire.
