“Tyson!” cried out Lucy again as Whistler turned to look at Gerald. “Are you acquainted with him, sir?” asked Whistler. In response, Gerald immediately replied, “But of course I am! He may not be my biological brother, but I treat him as one!” “…Huh? T-then, please save him, sir! Since you’re proficient with medicine, you have to save him!” wailed Lucy between sobs. When he heard her request, Gerald recalled Lucy mentioning someone by the name of Tyson to him sometime back. To think that the Tyson she was waiting for turned out to be the exact same person he cared greatly for as well! If Gerald had been aware that this was the case, he would’ve sent some of his people out to look for him ages ago. If only that had happened, then this turn of events could’ve very easily been avoided. “Please give them some space, Lucy… Didn’t you hear that master treats Tyson like his real brother?” persuaded Yukie as she pulled Lucy aside. Gerald himself immediately began checking Tyson’
However, by then, the Crawfords had begun fearing that the incident—of the Drake & Tyson duo rescuing Gerald—would be exposed sooner or later. As a result, they provided both the brothers some money and told them to leave the Crawford family. The Drake & Tyson duo didn’t really have any issues with that, and while they had first planned to return to the mercenary base abroad, on their way there, they caught wind of the incident that had befallen both Gerald and Zack in Merry City that night. Upon finding out that Gerald had gone missing, they immediately rushed over to the Salford Province to secretly investigate the incident. However, even after three months had passed, neither of them had been able to find any new leads. As if that wasn’t enough, even the Schuyler family had begun noticing their activity. Knowing that, both of them knew that they didn’t have much of a choice but to halt their investigations for the time being. After some planning, they decided to leave the Salf
“I still don’t think that the shirt I got for you is suitable for the occasion, sir… Why don't we stop the car and get you a new and better shirt? How about it?” asked Yukie with a smile. She was currently sitting beside Gerald as their team of cars headed toward the gathering. “I think it’s fine…” replied Gerald as he looked down at his shirt with a slightly bitter smile. As the cars approached a commercial building, Gerald looked out the window. To his surprise, the first person he saw was a rather familiar-looking youth. “Is there anything wrong, sir?” asked Yukie. “If my eyes do not deceive me, that seems like an old classmate of mine... Or at least a person that resembles him a lot. Regardless, stop the cars here. I’m heading into that building,” ordered Gerald. Hearing his command, all the cars under him immediately halted in the middle of the road. Though this essentially blocked most of the main road, nobody dared to say anything about it. After all, whenever the
Realizing that Harper’s clients were here, Gerald nudged his head toward the two new faces as he looked at Harper, clearly signaling him to deal with his work first. As Gerald turned to leave, however, he was shocked when he realized who the man and woman were. As it turned out, they were none other than Raquel and her boyfriend, Jefferson! Back when he was still in a pitiful state over half a year ago, he remembered how Raquel had humiliated him when he was still working in the construction zone. “D*mn! Is that really you, Gerald?” exclaimed Raquel as she crossed her arms before flashing a cold smile at him. “Oh? Are you familiar with Chairman Quelch and Chairman Brown, Gerald? Haha! Chairman Brown’s in charge of a large company here! I’m currently negotiating a project with them!” explained Harper. “We’re acquainted, yes,” replied Gerald with a subtle nod. “Humph! Pretending that we barely know each other, Gerald? As if you’d ever be able to forget about me! After all, I
By then, both Raquel and Jefferson had arrived at the commercial building’s entrance. In truth, Jefferson had indeed parked his car appropriately by the side of the road. However, a team of cars seemed to have parked right in the middle of the road! Since Jefferson’s car had been parked in the only lane that the team of cars didn’t block, in a way, his car truly was blocking the road! “Hey! We’re clearly not the one at fault here! After all, it’s that team of cars that are blocking most of the road! Why should we be the only ones ordered to move our car?” shouted Raquel, unable to reconcile with the staff member’s logic. “Hah! Just look at your car’s brand then compare it to that of the team of cars! Though I guess you’re from out of town since you don’t seem to know how things work here. Listen, just move your car immediately. Don’t blame me if something happens, because I’m pretty sure your Boss Gram or whatever his name is won’t be able to take responsibility if things go so
Meanwhile, the gathering was already taking place in the largest hotel manor in Talgo Town. Since the leaders of the five top influential groups in Talgo Town had brought along their subordinates, the manor was crowded with at least a thousand people. As a result, it was no surprise that hubbub filled the entire venue. At the same time, a high stage was also being set up in the manor. Once everything was in place, a few seats were placed upon the high stage. That was where the leaders were going to be seated. “You’re a wise and resourceful man, Diego! To think that you’d use the civil and military meeting to also portray how powerful we are to that newly founded Royal Dragon Group! Haha! It’s like killing two birds with a stone!” “I know, right? Still, now that the Royal Dragon Group has acquired the pharmaceutical factory that used to be our main source of income, I wonder if things will turn out the same with the factory’s previous owner. After all, I heard that the Royal D
It was honestly beyond Diego and the other bosses’ expectations that those from the Royal Dragon Group wouldn’t back down from the competition. Quite honestly, Gerald and his men looked rather confident about the whole thing. Sensing that, Diego and the bosses knew that if they didn’t show how powerful they were right off the bat, it was only going to get more and more difficult for them to keep Gerald’s company in check in the future. Soon after, the civil and military gathering began and the participants were led to a large area that had been set up within the center. The five groups had each naturally chosen their most powerful subordinates to take part in the competition. Gerald himself had sent Whistler and a few of his other more capable men to participate. Those whom Gerald had selected had all undergone personal special training with him. Due to that, their strength was much more reinforced compared to before. As soon as the competition began, everyone was surprise
The voice had come from Gerald, and after a loud sneer, he picked a fork up. Looking at the plaque, Gerald squinted his eyes for a second before flicking his wrist extremely quickly. A split second later, the fork was no longer in Gerald’s hand and the sound of something cracking could be heard! By the time the audience looked up, the fork—that had already been embedded within one of the many shattered plaque pieces—was already falling to the ground alongside whatever remained of the broken plaque. A crash soon followed as the plaque pieces shattered even further on the ground, the fork still clearly visible to the five bosses as they gulped. “…W-what…?” Shock and fear swept through them, and the ones who had earlier been smoking each felt their grip loosen on their cigarettes. “W-who exactly is that person….?” “It’s… It’s near impossible isn’t it…? I mean, how could a person have that much force to break a plaque so high up?!” It was evident that the five bosses had ne
