Chapter 1416
After saying that, Gerald began walking toward the entrance as well. By the time he got there, the other Mr. Crawford—who had been taking in deep breaths in preparation of greeting Mr. Lyle—quickly ran over to face Zack before excitedly saying, “Good day, Uncle Lyle! I’m Mateo’s classmate, Jerome, and I wonder if you still remember me?” “M-Mr. Crawford…!” shouted Zack, his voice brimming with admiration as he looked upfront. “Y-you’re being too courteous, Uncle Lyle!” stuttered the nervous Jerome, unsure of what to even say. Westlyn found herself biting her lower lip as well. For Chairman Lyle to refer to Jerome as Mr. Crawford… Wasn’t Mr. Lyle giving him a bit too much respect? Whatever the case was, Jerome now looked extremely cool to the other girls. As for Mr. Zealey, even he was rather surprised by Chairman Lyle’s behavior. Regardless, he now knew that he truly couldn’t afford to offend Mr. Crawford. After all, even Chairman Lyle was referring to him as Mr. Crawford!
Chapter 1417
Nobody could have imagined that someone who used to be a pauper would turn out to be the actual Mr. Crawford, the man with the greatest reputation on the planet! Hell, even Chairman Zack knelt before him! Watching as Gerald left the area, all of them had horrified expressions on their faces, knowing that there was zero chance that they would ever be able to get into Gerald’s good books anymore. Fast forward to inside the study room, Zack was the first to break the silence. His eyes now teary and reddened, Zack said, “To think that you were fine, Mr. Crawford… What great news…! We previously thought that you had… Well…” “You thought something had happened to me too, right? Zack, what exactly happened throughout this period? Are you guys transferring the company’s assets?” “That’s right, Mr. Crawford! You should have a look at this first!” replied Zack with a heavy nod before opening his briefcase and carefully retrieving something wrapped in yellow cloth… Before Zack was eve
Chapter 1418
According to Wes, he had witnessed the murderer assaulting and capturing those from the Crawford Manor. However, when looking at the time the text message had been sent over, Gerald realized that Lyra had sent it in the afternoon. In other words, the time when his family should’ve by right been completely dealt with. With that in mind, Lyra could’ve only sent that message by avoiding the initial capture! Maybe she could’ve momentarily escaped. Or perhaps she was outside and hadn’t returned when the catastrophe happened. Whatever the case was, Lyra must have only given Zack those instructions due to having a premonition that she would soon be in danger. ‘What exactly happened…? And what’s that person’s motive…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he held on tightly onto the token of the holy water. Peter had told him that the one responsible for all this was a person who had been stalking him this entire time… What was that person even after…? Looking at Gerald’s puzzled expressio
Chapter 1419
While Gerald could already tell that Peter was trying to hint something to him, he just couldn’t get what it was. Of course he’d be overjoyed if his grandfather was still alive! Was there even a need to ask such a thing? The fact that his grandfather’s token of the holy water suddenly made its appearance here only made him feel even more certain that something had happened to him. In relation to that, he hoped even more now that his grandfather was still among the living. All this made Gerald wonder whether his stalker had relations with the pledge of the holy water this entire time. From what the Mackusion had shown them, could it be that the mysterious person had attended the pledge of the holy water first before killing off everyone else there? Following that, he must have headed to the underground palace in the desert before killing off the giant anaconda and taking Liemis’s body away. With that done, the stalker then dealt with the rest of Gerald’s family not too long befo
Chapter 1420
Doing as he was told, Gerald then began focusing on allowing the Mackusion to guide his body. Essentially, in order for the process to work, Gerald’s body had to first be completely broken down and once that was achieved, the Mackusion would begin putting him back together again. With that in mind, it was only natural for Gerald to have to endure a considerable amount of pain. With a sudden explosive sound, night seemed to change to day as a sudden bolt of blue light shot upward, seemingly tearing the sky apart! Following that, a thunderous sound could be heard as lightning began striking all around the circle that Gerald was standing inside! Though the immense force continued destroying more and more furniture in the room, Zyla retained a relatively calm expression. Peter, on the other hand, had grown so nervous that his back was already drenched in cold sweat by this point. “Is everything truly going to be alright, Angelica? I really don’t know how much longer I can continue wa
Chapter 1421
Since Gerald had successfully made it back to the past, it essentially meant that there were two of him in the current time and space, and Zyla had emphasized time and again and both of them should never meet face to face. With that in mind, Gerald knew that he had to first locate his past self and temporarily hide him in a quiet place. Once that was done, he would act as his substitute for the coming week. Whatever the case was, he now needed to put on a simple disguise first… Meanwhile, a loud ‘thud’ could be heard within the university campus as a male student was kicked down by another much taller and burlier student. Locking arms with the tall student, was a beautifully dressed girl who simply watched as her lover pointed at Gerald before cursing, “You’re a real embarrassment, Gerald, you know that? How dare you almost bump into my girlfriend while picking up trash? I guess you’re as embarrassing as you are blind!” After watching him kick Gerald again, his girlfriend then
Chapter 1422
What a truly amazing feeling… “…E-even if you beat me up, please let me go once you’re done…!” pleaded the past Gerald. Since his beloved Xavia had now broken up with him, it truly seemed like he had nothing more to lose… And even if others were going to scold or beat him up, it’s not like he was going to have the ability to fight back or defend himself anyway! “By god!” muttered the future Gerald, unable to believe his past self. With one fluid movement, Gerald then poked his past self’s acupuncture point to shut him up. Sure enough, his past self instantly went unconscious after that! “You’re going to undergo a complete change of fate soon, buddy… I hope you won’t continue being a useless wimp like I had been right after my transformation! You’re a man, aren’t you? Start acting like one!” muttered Gerald to himself as he lifted his past self up, a wry smile on his face. The plan was for him to hide his past self well, and once he did, he’d erase the past Gerald’s memories
Chapter 1423
Upon turning around, Gerald instantly saw a few tall, graceful, and well-dressed girls standing before him. However, it was the girl standing right in front of the group who caused Gerald’s eyes to instantly well up with tears. It was Mila! As he immediately began breathing rapidly, Gerald recalled how he had been extremely worried and depressed just an hour ago. While it was true that he really wanted to meet up with Mila, he wasn’t even sure what kinds of emotions to present when he finally stood before her. Since he hadn’t really figured how to deal with his emotions yet, now that Mila was suddenly before him, he instantly found his mind going completely blank. Though he was now staring blankly at her, his mind was still able to register how beautiful, adorable, lovely, and kind-hearted she was! While he was filled with adoration for her, Mila herself couldn’t help but feel slightly frightened when she saw how Gerald was staring at her. While fear was her initial reacti
