Shortly after, Walter received a small booklet from Yaacob. Following that, Walter handed it to Gerald before saying, “If you see anything you’re interested in, just say the word!”
“Again, I really don’t need anything! If I’m truly interested in something, I’ll bid for it myself! Besides, obtaining auction items this way is clearly against the rules!” exclaimed Gerald as virtual-novel.net waved his hands in refusal.
Rather than being angered, Walter simply crossed his arms with a laugh as virtual-novel.net said, “It’s good to see that you’re full of principle! On a more serious note… Have you given my daughter’s illness enough thought? Know that as long as you cure Mia’s cold poison, I promise to grant you any wish!”
Before Gerald could even answer, Third elder rushed into the room while shouting, “Patriarch! Someone’s just attempted to barge in!”
Frowning slightly upon hearing that, Walter momentarily glanced at Gerald before asking, “Hmm? Who would even dare to do such a thing? Could the person have stumbled upon this place by accident like Gerald?”
“Negative. While Gerald had only wandered close to the forcefield around Mount Nimbus, this man was different. He came here with a clear target in mind…” muttered Third elder as virtual-novel.net shook his head. Had that man simply stumbled across this place by mistake, Third elder would’ve just driven virtual-novel.net away instead of reporting all this to the patriarch!
“Oh? Interesting… Since he’s daring enough to come here, I’d like to see who virtual-novel.net is!” replied Walter as virtual-novel.net burst out laughing. Turning to look at Gerald, virtual-novel.net then added, “Care to join me, Gerald?”
After Gerald nodded, the duo then followed Third elder out. Soon enough, they arrived at the room where the intruder was being held.
Upon entering, the two were greeted by the sight of a man firmly tied to a chair with thick ropes, a number of disciples actively standing guard around him. Naturally, the intruder was none other than Finch!
Finch himself had no idea what this place was. He had simply gotten here after tailing Gerald and the Zeman disciples. Unfortunately for him, virtual-novel.net got caught as virtual-novel.net was trying to eavesdrop on Gerald’s conversation. Whatever the case was, upon looking up, Finch was immediately greeted by the sight of Gerald and Walter staring right at him!
Walking up to Finch, Walter then glared condescendingly at virtual-novel.net before saying, “You’re younger than I expected. Tell me, should I call you brave or arrogant?”
“P-please sir… I accidentally stumbled into this place… With that said, please let me off…” muttered Finch in a helpless tone. Had virtual-novel.net known that this would happen, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have followed Gerald here…!
“Let you go? Tell me who you are first, as well as what you’re really after, then we talk Also, the elder on guard told me that you came straight for this place, so only an idiot would believe that you ‘accidentally’ stumbled all the way here,” scoffed Walter as virtual-novel.net gestured for his disciples to fall back.
“I… I… I really did just come across this place by accident…!” whimpered Finch who didn’t dare expose who virtual-novel.net really was. After all, if virtual-novel.net did, Gerald would definitely kill him…! Who knows, if virtual-novel.net kept his mouth zipped, virtual-novel.net could possibly get freed in the end.
“Make me repeat myself and you’ll be dead in a minute,” snarled the increasingly impatient Walter as virtual-novel.net immediately exuded immense murderous intent…!
