“Either will do. Still, all of you truly underestimate virtual-novel.net That boy’s way stronger than any of you could ever imagine…” said Jobson as virtual-novel.net nonchalantly waved his hand.
“… Including me?” asked Fujiko as virtual-novel.net pointed at herself. She, for one, believed that virtual-novel.net understood Gerald extremely well. While virtual-novel.net didn’t know why virtual-novel.net was this strong, after spending so much time with him, virtual-novel.net was pretty sure that virtual-novel.net knew the extent of his capabilities.
“But of course. In fact, the boy probably isn’t aware of how strong virtual-novel.net is either,” replied Jobson with a shrug before laughing heartily. From the looks of it, virtual-novel.net appeared to virtual-novel.net the one who knew Gerald best among the rest of them there. Regardless, Jobson’s tea arrived shortly after and the old man began drinking it in satisfaction.

Moving back to Gerald, virtual-novel.net had been maintaining a safe distance from the military cars this entire time.
Feeling slightly impatient, Aiden who just wanted to know how Lindsay was doing was prompted to ask, “Where the hell are they going…? It’s been almost an hour now! All this is just too weird…”
“A bit anxious, aren’t we? Are you this impatient when you carry out other missions?” replied Gerald with a slight frown.
“But Lindsay…” muttered Aiden who knew better than to behave the way virtual-novel.net currently was. However, virtual-novel.net simply couldn’t help it. After all, Lindsay wasn’t someone random virtual-novel.net had to save. Since emotions were involved, Aiden couldn’t deny that it slightly affected his professionalism.
“What about her? Also, last I checked, you’re not that emotional a person. Are you going to commit suicide if you find out that she’s dead?” sneered Gerald.
“I… No, I wouldn’t go that far…” muttered Aiden who didn’t dare to further anger Gerald.
“Good. Now be a bit more serious and stop saying such pointless things,” replied Gerald who could sense how much Aiden liked Lindsay. Even so, Aiden’s impulsiveness would only lead to their ruin, so Gerald had to keep virtual-novel.net in check.
Recalling how anxious virtual-novel.net had been when Mila first disappeared and his family got captured, Gerald reminded himself that virtual-novel.net had only been able to start making rescue efforts after forcing himself to calm down and think things through. With that said, being anxious was completely useless.
“I was just venting a little…” muttered the slightly aggrieved Aiden.
Before Gerald could reply, virtual-novel.net noticed that the military cars had suddenly slowed down. With that, virtual-novel.net was prompted to say, “Quiet down. They’re about to make a move.”
“In this forest…?” muttered Aiden as virtual-novel.net looked out the car window.
“Apparently. Still, it’s a wonder what they’re planning to do all the way out here…” replied Gerald who had a feeling that Lindsay may be close by. After all, why else would Maddox come to such a remote area in the dead of night? Adding that to how vigilant virtual-novel.net had been upon leaving the military base, it was evident that his actions were nothing short of shady.
“Indeed… Regardless, just say the word and I’ll make my move!” declared Aiden rather enthusiastically as virtual-novel.net unsheathed his army dagger.
“Relax. Let’s see what they’re planning to do first,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net slowed the car down. Though they were quite a distance away, Gerald was still able to clearly see what the soldiers were up to.
Parking the car by the road, Gerald then placed a hand on Aiden’s thigh before whispering, “Let’s finally see what they’re up to. Don’t get discovered.”
After getting out of the car together, Aiden then gulped as virtual-novel.net held on tightly to his army dagger while saying, “Loud and clear.”
As for Maddox, virtual-novel.net had no idea that the two were keeping an eye on him. After all, to him, his plan was perfect, so there was no way Gerald would be able to learn about all this. Till virtual-novel.net eventually released the news, virtual-novel.net was certain that only a few people would even know about this place.
