Warren had made that statement as he stood up. Jasmine herself frowned as she scanned through the storeroom. Her gaze stopped when she saw a few joss sticks placed near a corner of the room. “Those must’ve been the reason why we were so sleepy!” said Jasmine as she pointed at her discovery. “So that’s why! Still, who were those people…? Why didn’t they just tell us who they were after saving us?” replied Maia. Before anyone could even reply, one of the group’s members—who had already been exploring the place—shouted, “Hey, come over here, I think they left something for us!” Hearing that, everyone encircled the box with a note on it. The note itself wrote, ‘To: Maia.’ “Guess we know who gets to open it,” said yet another member of the team. Maia herself was now feeling giddy with excitement. As she thought about what could be inside, she caught a glimpse of Warren bearing an extremely ugly expression on his face. Noticing that she was looking at him, Warren then said

And something important it was. Knowing full well that the Fenderson family had almost been wiped out due to his carelessness, Bryson was going to take responsibility for the incident no matter what. After things calmed down a bit, Bryson thought about how they were nearly eliminated by a vassal family. If all that could happen under his rule, then he admitted that he was getting old and unreliable. The fact that he couldn’t defend himself without help was further proof that it was finally time for change. It explained why the mood of the Fenderson family meeting this time was so different. Everyone had their heads lowered as they waited for Bryson to speak. Coughing to break the silence and get everyone’s attention, Bryson cleared his throat before saying, “I… have some very important news to announce today… This announcement will also be the very last decision that I’ll make as the head of this family!” Hearing that, everyone lifted their heads as they looked at the old man.

As the butler got the car ready, Mindy herself was already standing in front of what remained of the Schuyler family’s mansion. “Excuse me, but have you seen anyone wearing a mask? He’s about this tall and with his mask down, he has serious burn marks around his eyes…” asked a girl to a random passer-by as she lifted her hand over her head to mimic how tall Sanderson was. “…No I haven’t…?” replied the confused man. “But how could that be possible? He told us he’d come looking for us yet he didn’t! He wasn’t even at Yorknorth Mountain! Where could he possibly have gone to…? I even tried calling Stella but I can’t reach her either! When I went over to her place, it seemed like she had moved out… Hey, who do you suppose could tell me where Sanderson went…?” asked Mindy. The passer-by himself was stunned to know that she had directed the question at him. Scanning her from head to toe, he then shook his head before running off. How sad that such a beauty sounded so insane. “Where

As the muffled wailing of ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance, Mindy found herself slowly losing consciousness. “…San…derson…” Meanwhile, a young man sitting inside an express train clutched his chest all of a sudden as he shuddered. “What’s wrong?” asked a girl sitting close to him out of concern. “…It’s nothing. My heart just felt tight all of a sudden… The feeling’s gone now, though. How odd…” replied the man with a wry smile on his face. He then turned to look at the girl before saying, “Speaking of which, here, you can have this. Once you settle down in Mayberry and get a job there, together with the money in this card, you should be able to live easy for the rest of your life!” As he said that, he handed a bank card over to the girl. “I can’t take this, Gerald! As long as I manage to land a job, my life will already be pretty manageable! You, on the other hand, definitely need the money more than I do!” replied the girl as she immediately returned the ca

It wasn’t long before they arrived at Mayberry Station. After stealthily slipping the bank card into her pocket, Gerald hailed a cab for her. He wasn’t worried about her not being able to use it since she had already known what the password was, even from back when they were still in university. The password itself was just his birth date. “Aren’t you coming along with us, Gerald?” asked Naomi as she rolled the cab’s window down. “I’ll be on my own from here! Farewell, Naomi!” replied Gerald with a wave as the cab began driving off. Sticking her head out the window, Naomi then shouted, “Gerald, please! I don’t care if we end up having a lot of money or not! Let’s just stick together and get married! We’ll find jobs together in Mayberry city and from there, we’ll be able to support ourselves just fine in the future! I’m sure of it! If Mayberry isn’t to your liking, then… Then let’s just live in the countryside! We’ll get a small place of our own… Settle down, then live the rest

Just as he arrived at the hotel’s lobby, a girl who just so happened to be running in his direction seemed to lose balance as she sprained her ankle! Before she could even hit the ground, however, in one swift swoop, Gerald managed to catch on to her. “Oh my god! That was such a close call! T-thank you, handsome!” thanked the girl as she immediately straightened her messy hair after being helped up by Gerald. Looking at him, however, she couldn’t help but feel that the man who had just saved her from a world of pain felt a little strange. Though he looked mysterious enough with his mask and cap on, his gaze felt oddly familiar yet foreign at the same time. Furthermore, the young man only replied with a nod instead of saying anything. As she wondered if she had seen him before, Gerald himself couldn’t help but stare at her for a little while longer. After all, he knew who she was. “…Could… We perhaps be acquainted?” asked the girl with a smile. In response, Gerald shoo

Squinting his eyes as he scanned the young man—who was slowly inching away—from head to toe, he then yelled, “Hey you! Stop right there!” Freezing in place, the young beggar was so frightened that he immediately began trembling in fear. He was teary-eyed as he lowered his gaze before pleading, “Y-yes…? Please, sir… Could you spare me some money for food…? I beg of you…” “…Yoel?” replied Gerald in a soft voice. Hearing that name, the beggar instantly shuddered immensely as he raised his head. The moment Yoel looked into Gerald’s eyes, his lips began quivering like there was no tomorrow. “G-Gerald?” asked Yoel as he felt his tears rolling down his cheeks. Taking his mask off in disbelief, Gerald immediately held on to Yoel’s shoulder before replying, “Yes! Yes, it’s me, Yoel!” “Brother! So you’re still alive!” said Yoel aloud as his crutch fell to the ground. “I am… Yoel… How did you end up like this…?” asked Gerald in shock. After all, the Yoel he used to know was always

Quest, on the other hand, was told to remain in the Salford Province together with Master Jenkinson after the entire Schuyler operation. After all, Gerald saw no need for Quest to follow him all the way to Mayberry City. In addition, with Quest returning home safe and sound, Gerald knew that he had secured a shelter in the Salford Province where he could retreat to should things ever get awry. It was honestly the only shelter he had left. If there ever came a time where the Westley family was exposed, Gerald knew for a fact that he wouldn’t have anywhere else to seek refuge once the Moldells caught scent of him. After all, he had killed four Moldells back in the Salford Province. While he was sure that the Moldells weren’t going to kill him easily, he couldn’t deny that their family was extremely powerful. Gerald was well aware that he shouldn’t even consider dealing with the Moldells on his own. It was the reason why he was now carefully considering every move he was about t
