Chapter 922
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

This time, however, the man wasn’t going to just stand there anymore. The moment they got close enough, the man instantly grabbed two of the men in front of him by their necks before gently flexing his wrists. A second later, both men immediately began spurting out blood as they heard their necks crack. And just like that, their lives were no more, ended as easily as snuffing out a candle. Following that, he repeated the same process with the rest of his assailants, striking all of them down with extreme precision and efficiency. “W-who exactly are you…” stuttered Jett. This person was extremely strong. Furthermore, his methods were equally as skillful as they were brutally terrifying. Aside from Kort, Jett had never seen anyone else with such raw power. It made him think that the man standing before him right now was a master no less powerful than his father. Knowing that was the reason why he was so shocked as he continued staring at Gerald. “There’s no need to ask. Jus

It was the next night in the Crawford family mansion in Northbay when a butler came running while shouting, “Sir! I bring good news, sir!” At the time, Dylan was reading in his study room. Permitting his butler to enter, Dylan then put his glasses down before rubbing his brows and saying, “Go on…” “It’s regarding Kort Moldell! While both Kort and Jett have been doing everything they could to go against our family in the past six months, we’ve just received news from a reliable source that Jett has gone missing!” “What? Jett’s missing?” said Dylan as he stood up in surprise. Jett was Kort’s third son who had slowly been building his power in the past six months. He was also constantly being a pain in the ass, intentionally causing trouble for the Crawfords whenever he could. Though Dylan only saw him as a pest who didn’t need to be taken too seriously, it didn’t change the fact that Jett was a constant annoyance to their family. So annoying, in fact, that the Crawfords would o

The bus was currently traveling up a mountainous road, and aside from the occasional driver, the road was—for the most part—completely empty. No matter which direction one looked, mountains were the only constant sight. “You know, I heard that lots of robberies happen on this road!” said a fat young man who was clearly finding the entire journey to be quite depressing. When he saw that others were now looking at him, he then continued, “It was in the news some time ago! A group of robbers had apparently taken over a bus on this very road, and once they were done with their looting, they killed off everyone in the bus!” “That can’t be true! I’m pretty alert to such news… Why didn’t I see it then?” asked a middle-aged woman rather nervously. “Well, the news disappeared not too long after it was released to the public! After all, spreading news like this out of the blue could easily propagate panic!” explained the fat man. “Hah. Even if robbers do attack us, we’ll just beat them

“I’m telling the truth!” added the girl as her frown deepened. “Hey, chubby! Just forget it! She’s a beauty anyway! If you’re really persistent, then here! Take three dollars from me instead!” offered one of the passengers as he laughed. “You can’t be serious! To think that such a girl exists! Wanting to eat yet not even willing to pay three dollars!” pouted the fat man. Hearing that, the girl frowned even harder. Instantly after, however, a brief fierceness flashed in her eyes as she said, “If you really want my money, then get off the bus with me later. If you accept the dare, forget three dollars, I’ll give you three thousand dollars if you want! What do you say?” asked the girl coldly. “I say why wouldn’t I dare to do so! However, you said it yourself that you’ll hand me three thousand dollars! It’s not too late to take that statement back!” replied the fat man as he snorted. “Deal!” shouted the girl before taking in a deep breath. Throughout their conversation, the
