Honestly, if Finch had chosen to return earlier, Will would’ve tried to kill virtual-novel.net one way or another. After all, what good was a man who couldn’t even follow simple commands? What’s more, Finch already knew too much. If virtual-novel.net didn’t get rid of virtual-novel.net quickly, it could cause virtual-novel.net problems later down the line.
Either way, after Finch left, Will heaved a deep sigh. He really needed to kill Gerald this time. No longer would that b*stard continue threatening his position…!
***
Fast forward to evening, a few Zeman clansmen went looking for Gerald again. Upon seeing virtual-novel.net sitting alone in the living room, they were prompted to say, “Ah, there you are, Mr. Gerald. Our patriarch has invited you over for dinner.”
After nodding in response, Gerald got to his feet before following them out. Just as virtual-novel.net was leaving his room, however, virtual-novel.net bumped into Lucian and Aiden. After telling them virtual-novel.net was heading out for a bit, Gerald then followed the Zemans downstairs.
Watching as Gerald walked off, Lucian was prompted to mutter, “I wonder if virtual-novel.net knows any other people here…”
“I wonder as well. It’s been quite a while since I’ve last met him, so I’m not too sure of what connections virtual-novel.net now has…” replied Aiden with a shrug.
“Whatever the case is, let’s just have a simple dinner. I’m sure chaos will ensue the second it gets dark enough outside…” muttered Lucian as virtual-novel.net closed the door and windows, remembering that it was around this time when the two families had gotten into their fight the day before.
Regardless, just as Gerald was leaving the building with the Zeman disciples, virtual-novel.net was seen by Finch who just so happened to be passing by on his way to dinner.
Finch himself had been searching all afternoon for Gerald to no avail. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net was understandably tired, and virtual-novel.net was planning to head straight to bed after his meal. Naturally, virtual-novel.net immediately did a double take when virtual-novel.net saw Gerald. Once virtual-novel.net confirmed that it really was the boy, Finch quickly gave Will a call before reporting, “B-brother Will! I saw Gerald leaving a wooden building! He’s currently heading north with two other men!”
“Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry and catch up to him! If you lose virtual-novel.net this time, don’t you even dare think about returning to Yearning Island!” growled Will, prompting Finch to helplessly hang up before starting to tail the trio.
Naturally, Gerald had no idea that virtual-novel.net was being followed. After all, virtual-novel.net was busy wondering what Walter would say to virtual-novel.net tonight, and what virtual-novel.net should do if Walter continued pursuing the matter regarding his daughter.
To Gerald’s surprise, however, the second Walter who was sitting alone in the room saw him, the middle-aged man instantly greeted, “Gerald! My good friend! Come, sit!”
Though Gerald knew that Walter was only being this friendly because virtual-novel.net needed Gerald’s help, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel slightly embarrassed. After all, the middle-aged man sounded so genuine. Regardless, Gerald quickly replied, “Um… I really shouldn’t be eating here all the time…”
“Why shouldn’t you? You’re our family’s savior! Honestly, feel free to stay here if you so wish! ” declared Walter with a hearty laugh.
“That… isn’t necessary…” muttered Gerald in a slightly helpless tone. The way Walter said it, it was almost as though Gerald had already agreed to help Mia expel virtual-novel.net cold poison… Then again, there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do about it. After all, Walter’s cultivation was much higher than his. With that in mind, If Gerald straight out refused, then there was a chance that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t even be able to leave this place.
Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when Walter patted his thigh before adding, “Speaking of which, if there are any auction items you want, just tell me! I’ll give it to you as a gift!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly exclaimed, “There really is no need for that…!”
If virtual-novel.net accepted it, then virtual-novel.net would have no way to back out of this…!
Despite Gerald’s refusal, Walter simply ignored the boy as virtual-novel.net turned to look at the door before shouting, “Yaacob! Go get the auction item list for Gerald to have a look!”
