“Surround them at once!” As William barked his order and waved his hand, ten bodyguards immediately rushed toward them. Gerald and the four others had been encircled. Behind William, stood a sturdy-looking man. He looked to be almost thirty and wore a pair of sunglasses as well. Up till this point, he hadn’t said a word. His arms were crossed and almost half of his face seemed to have suffered severe burn scars. He looked rather hideous to be honest, and he appeared to be William’s personal bodyguard. “Humph! Enemies are always bound to meet again! It’s just been a few days so I’m sure you never saw this coming!” Liara shouted as she clung on to William’s arm and slowly began walking toward them. Her eyes were filled with fury and if one could kill a person with cold glares alone, Gerald would definitely be dead by now. Liara, for one, wanted that to be true. She wanted to torture and kill Gerald with her own hands. From a young age, she had been spoilt rotten by everyone a
It took less than ten seconds for the twins to completely bring down the ten guards. How was that even possible? “So you’ve decided to mess with the Crawfords. You lack common sense, kid. Let’s beat some sense into you!” said the twins in unison as they walked toward William slowly, cold smiles on their faces. “D*mn it! Carl! Get them! Make sure they can’t even stand after you’re done with them!” William was in shock. Initially, he had thought that getting revenge for his woman was going to be an easy task. All he needed to do was to have his guards cripple Gerald. He had never anticipated that Gerald would have two expert bodyguards with him. He was now forced to order his trump card to make a move. Carl was the bodyguard who had been standing behind William all this time. Though he looked intimidating with all the severe burn scars on his face, he began to tremble when he saw Drake and Tyson approaching. It wasn’t out of fear, but an odd emotion in his heart which he ju
With Liara now being held captive, Gerald began driving to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Upon arriving at the villa, Gerald called out to the bodyguards who had opened the gates for the limousine to enter. They were told to bring Liara to a vacant room and keep a constant eye on her. “Wow, little driver! I didn’t expect you to have so much power over the guards here! They’re listening to all your commands!” said Dorothy as she laughed. “Mr. Crawford, you’re here!” Zack and Michael saw Gerald entering the building and they hurried over to greet him. They greeted Mr. Kendall respectfully as well. While Zack and Michael usually appeared assertive in Mayberry City, in front of Jessica and Mr. Kendall, they instead gave the impression of just being regular minions. However, that wasn’t what caught the four new people’s attention. Mr. Kendall, Drake, Tyson, and Dorothy were all stunned when they heard how the two addressed Gerald. “Mr. Crawford?” “You’re Mr. Crawford?” Mr.
Not only did the so-called Military Emergency Base host a section for its armed forces, but it also boasted one of the most efficient medical teams as well as intelligence gathering departments. It was just like how it was in action movies. Gerald had personally never been in contact with any of those departments before. Being granted access to the Military Emergency Base meant that he would be in charge of all of this in the future. It only further affirmed Gerald that he was going to be the future leader. It was already late when he was thinking about this, and Gerald himself was ready to retire for the night. Before that, however, he suddenly remembered that he still had some unfinished business! Gerald sneered as he walked toward the room. “Oh, behave yourself won’t you? Otherwise, I may really end up killing you! Did you really just try to bite me? Are you some kind of dog?” Even from quite a distance away, Gerald could already hear his bodyguard cursing from behin
Gerald really couldn’t be bothered about Zack’s methods of dealing with the matter. He rested early that night. Though it was raining heavily when he awoke, Gerald rushed to school anyway. After all, his homework review was important as well. As per usual, his driver dropped him off at the school gates and Gerald walked into the school with an umbrella in hand. All of a sudden, Gerald heard a loud scream. When he turned to look at the source of the sound, he saw a girl in a white dress who seemed to have sprained her ankle. She held an umbrella in one hand while her other held onto her ankle. Gerald deduced that she must have sprained her ankle while she was opening her umbrella. Since she could hardly walk properly at that moment, it seemed that the sprain was a severe one.Gerald found himself walking toward her under his umbrella. “Are you alright?” “It hurts!” cried the girl as she raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were all teary. Gerald was slightly taken ab
“Giya! Are you alright? How could you be so careless?” At that moment, the infirmary’s door was pushed open. Four girls who all looked well-mannered walked into the infirmary. Somehow, each of them bore beauty comparable to car showgirls on the internet! They seemed to be Giya’s roommates. They were here because Giya had sent them a text message earlier, telling them that she was going to the infirmary. “I sprained my ankle but I was lucky to bump into Gerald! He carried me all the way here on his back!” explained Giya with a smile as she looked at Gerald. “Oh my god! You’re telling us that a hero saved our beauty? Hahaha! Then we’ll really have to thank the handsome guy who saved our Giya then!” The girls continued chatting among themselves before turning to look at Gerald. It was reflected clearly in their eyes that they felt a slight disappointment after looking at him for a while. The clothes he wore were a little tasteless and to be frank, at first glance, Gerald
“Don’t worry Yacob, I’m fine,” replied Giya in an indifferent tone. The boy was dressed presentably in a suit and looked rather handsome. Though Giya gave a slightly cold impression toward him, Yacob wasn’t angry at all. “Oh, Giya! Your bracelet’s broken!” exclaimed Tammy. She had looked at the floor to see what had caused the shattering sound earlier and found that it was the bracelet. “Gerald, how could you be so careless? Is it because you’re unhappy that Yacob’s here to be concerned about Giya?” asked another girl. Her words caught Yacob’s attention. Though the boy liked Giya to the point of infatuation, Giya wasn’t interested in Yacob at all. Despite him having a very good family background, she still didn’t have any feelings for him. She knew what she liked, and she didn’t like him that way at all. Naturally, it was impossible for her to have feelings for Gerald just because he saved her once. Giya’s roommates knew this and they were simply just playing around w
Gerald didn’t care. Picking the bracelet up, he carefully observed it before saying, “Wrap this up for me. I’m buying it.” “Are you sure sir? This excellent hetian jade bracelet costs seven thousand and five hundred dollars… Perhaps you would like to look at something else instead?” The smile on her face was beginning to fade at that point. “Just do it already, why are you asking so much?” replied Gerald, rather coldly. The salesgirl packed the jade bracelet up before swiping it on the payment machine. However, the transaction was a failure. Gerald suddenly remembered that the minimum amount for each of his bank transactions had to be at least thirty thousand dollars! “Hehe… Since when has Trinity Jewelers become such a low-class shop? Can any random person just waltz in now? What’ll become of our noble customer experience then?” The scornful voice came from a couple who had just entered the shop and witnessed Gerald’s payment failure. The couple consisted of a woman who
