“…Wait, someone’s walking in front of Tiago… Holy cr*p! Isn’t that the guy who went out earlier?” “He is! He went out to call someone, but to think that the person he had in mind was Tiago! Actually, is that really the case?” Some of the people present inside the bar began discussing the situation through whispers. Others simply stared at the scene, wide-eyed. The only constant was that everyone was currently filled with disbelief. Not long after, a loud rumble could be heard and several loud footsteps soon followed. A large group of bodyguards dressed in black suits entered the bar. Among them, there were also several young men dressed like rich heirs. It was nothing short of an impressive scene. Hugh himself was feeling stunned. The men in black had different dispositions compared to the ones he was used to seeing. Even the group of rich youths seemed like people he would never dare to offend. “Mr. Crawford, the guy I’ve brought here goes by the name of Tiago. He’s Hugh’s

Tina’s face was flushed in astonishment. When she came to her senses again, she immediately started looking for Gerald within the huge crowd. The most luxurious car at the scene was a Lamborghini, and Tina saw Gerald standing right beside it. After a bodyguard opened the door for him, Gerald entered the car and left the scene in it. “….Tina, did you lie to us? What on earth did we just witness? Didn’t you say that he was just some poor loser? What we all saw was the complete opposite of that!” said a few of her friends as they gulped, still astonished at what they had just experienced. “I… I didn’t lie to you… He really is…” Tina was unable to finish her sentence. At that moment, she was equally nervous and didn’t know what to say anymore. She then tried to recall what her real first impression of Gerald really was on the day she first met him. ‘…I… think I first thought that he was quite handsome and classy the first time I met him… I even asked if he had a girlfriend…’

It was a call from Zack. “Mr. Crawford, we have some leads regarding the jade pendant!” said Zack the moment Gerald picked the phone up. “Oh? Where are you right now?” asked Gerald in return. The expert treasure appraiser from Northway went by the name of Mr. Zayden Weyham. Gerald had met him before during the celebrity party, and they even toasted each other on that day. Since he had some issues to deal with back then, Gerald had told Zack to bring Mr. Xiques along to meet Mr. Weyham. Mr. Xiques himself could only discern that the jade pendant was produced southwest of the Salford Province. However, details about its origins had still been vague up to this point. Zack’s call was a sign that they were finally able to find something. “I’m in Mr. Weyham’s manor with Mr. Xiques now. Would you like to come over now, Mr. Crawford?” “I’ll be there soon!” After hanging up, he told Yoel and the others about his plan before heading straight for Mr. Weyham’s manor. Mr. Weyham a

Gerald only smiled faintly as he took a sip of tea. “It’s rather late now, grandpa… There are so many guests today…” At that moment, a girl wearing pajamas slowly descended the stairs as she stared at Gerald and the others curiously. “Ah, Lissa. Come over here and greet Mr. Crawford. Weren’t you quite curious about him before this?” said Mr. Weyham as he smiled. “He’s Mr. Gerald Crawford?” asked Lissa as she made it to the final step. When she got to him, she scanned him from head to toe before frowning slightly. Immediately after, she chuckled before saying, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I’m Melissa Weyham but you can just call me Lissa.” “A pleasure to meet you too, Lissa. You can just call me Gerald!” replied Gerald as he extended his hand out to shake her hand. Lissa was considerably beautiful and after talking to her for a while, he found that she was quite generous to others as well. Gerald's first impression of her wasn’t bad, to say the least. What mor

Gerald realized that the old man was the same one who had blackmailed him when he was still looking for Giya back then. Gerald would never have dreamed that the old man would actually come looking for him again. “How come it’s you again,” said Gerald as he frowned slightly. “Ah! My grandson! It’s wonderful that you’re here now! Humph! These guards won’t let me in! Tell them to let me in!” said the old man with his hands on his waist. “Why do you want to go in there? What do you need this time? I’ve already helped you before and I even cured your injured leg! Stop pestering me, do you really think that I’m a nice man without any temper?” replied Gerald rather impatiently. Gerald didn’t really mind helping people if they looked as pitiful as the beggar did. However, he had already helped him once. If the old man continued to abuse Gerald’s pity, he would definitely be crossing the line. “Why would you say that, grandson? What do you mean I’m pestering you? You just resemble my

The door swung open and in rushed ten security guards, each armed with an electric baton. They had finally managed to track down the old man with the help of the surveillance footage. “You old b*stard! There you are!” The guards then immediately surrounded him. “Apologies Mr. Crawford! This old man sneaked into the lobby after his bath when we weren’t paying attention to him! He apparently heard your room number from the female receptionist then he ruined all the machines needed to get up here! Apologies again, Mr. Crawford! We’ll beat him up then kick him out, right this instant!” Gerald didn’t know how to respond at that moment. Everything about that old man just made him feel uneasy. At that moment, Gerald’s phone began to ring. It was a call from Queta. Gerald had earlier sent a Line message to her regarding all the new things he had discovered. She must have just read it. Glancing at the old man again, Gerald then answered the call. “I assume you’ve read the messag

Her skin was quite fair as well. When he saw her, Gerald simply nodded with a smile. Melissa chuckled when she saw him do that. She then said, “She’s my cousin, Gerald. She’s a looker, isn’t she? She came over to have some fun with me.” Gerald replied with a simple nod. “But just so you know, she’s already married! She was a beauty even during her school years and though so many years have passed since then, she’s still as gorgeous as ever!” said Melissa in a teasing tone as she laughed. “From her reaction, I’m now sure that you’re Mr. Crawford. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Rosalie Owens but since I’m older than both of you, you can just call me Sister Owens!” said Rosalie with a smile. “By the way, Mr. Crawford, I’m sure you already know that my cousin’s family is quite powerful in Northbay! She’s even teaching in a university there too!” added Melissa. Gerald nodded again as he greeted, “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Sister Owens!” The three of them then en

She was so disgusted by him that she had already begun filling her head with rather extreme ideas. Giya had only attended the meal because her father had persuaded her to go that day. Thinking back, she wasn’t even sure if she should have taken that first step. “Well, it doesn’t really matter. The engagement will happen sooner or later! Let’s not talk about that now. Come, let’s just go in already!” said Yunus as he brought her into the hotel. Meanwhile, Gerald had just entered a private room. Melissa had invited quite a lot of people that day and aside from her cousin, Rosalie, most of the others were young people who looked to be around the same age. Some of them seemed to be from Mayberry while the others came from elsewhere. The only constant was that they all treated Gerald extremely respectfully and cordially. This was especially so for Melissa who had constantly been serving him food as she sat beside him. Melissa had even invited Gerald to have fun with them that ni
