Naturally, Gerald didn’t feel the need to give this group of people any face at all. After all, he wasn’t even well acquainted with any of them. Layla herself was now feeling exceedingly surprised. Finding it harder and harder to breathe by the second, she eventually managed to shout, “…G-Gerald…?!” While she hadn’t personally met up with him for the longest time, she had heard that he was now a very powerful person. With him having such a high social position, how could she ever dare to claim that she once had ties with him? It was due to that, that the poor girl was shocked speechless the first few seconds she noticed that Gerald was present. While Layla didn’t even dare to say another word now, Westlyn, on the other hand, was now equally surprised as she was mad. “Good god! How absolutely frustrating! Is Wayfair Mountain Entertainment truly still the best mountain villa in Weston? After all, not only did they hire a blind waitress, but I guess any tom, dick, or harry can jus

After saying that, Gerald began walking toward the entrance as well. By the time he got there, the other Mr. Crawford—who had been taking in deep breaths in preparation of greeting Mr. Lyle—quickly ran over to face Zack before excitedly saying, “Good day, Uncle Lyle! I’m Mateo’s classmate, Jerome, and I wonder if you still remember me?” “M-Mr. Crawford…!” shouted Zack, his voice brimming with admiration as he looked upfront. “Y-you’re being too courteous, Uncle Lyle!” stuttered the nervous Jerome, unsure of what to even say. Westlyn found herself biting her lower lip as well. For Chairman Lyle to refer to Jerome as Mr. Crawford… Wasn’t Mr. Lyle giving him a bit too much respect? Whatever the case was, Jerome now looked extremely cool to the other girls. As for Mr. Zealey, even he was rather surprised by Chairman Lyle’s behavior. Regardless, he now knew that he truly couldn’t afford to offend Mr. Crawford. After all, even Chairman Lyle was referring to him as Mr. Crawford!

According to Wes, he had witnessed the murderer assaulting and capturing those from the Crawford Manor. However, when looking at the time the text message had been sent over, Gerald realized that Lyra had sent it in the afternoon. In other words, the time when his family should’ve by right been completely dealt with. With that in mind, Lyra could’ve only sent that message by avoiding the initial capture! Maybe she could’ve momentarily escaped. Or perhaps she was outside and hadn’t returned when the catastrophe happened. Whatever the case was, Lyra must have only given Zack those instructions due to having a premonition that she would soon be in danger. ‘What exactly happened…? And what’s that person’s motive…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he held on tightly onto the token of the holy water. Peter had told him that the one responsible for all this was a person who had been stalking him this entire time… What was that person even after…? Looking at Gerald’s puzzled expressio

Doing as he was told, Gerald then began focusing on allowing the Mackusion to guide his body. Essentially, in order for the process to work, Gerald’s body had to first be completely broken down and once that was achieved, the Mackusion would begin putting him back together again. With that in mind, it was only natural for Gerald to have to endure a considerable amount of pain. With a sudden explosive sound, night seemed to change to day as a sudden bolt of blue light shot upward, seemingly tearing the sky apart! Following that, a thunderous sound could be heard as lightning began striking all around the circle that Gerald was standing inside! Though the immense force continued destroying more and more furniture in the room, Zyla retained a relatively calm expression. Peter, on the other hand, had grown so nervous that his back was already drenched in cold sweat by this point. “Is everything truly going to be alright, Angelica? I really don’t know how much longer I can continue wa

What a truly amazing feeling… “…E-even if you beat me up, please let me go once you’re done…!” pleaded the past Gerald. Since his beloved Xavia had now broken up with him, it truly seemed like he had nothing more to lose… And even if others were going to scold or beat him up, it’s not like he was going to have the ability to fight back or defend himself anyway! “By god!” muttered the future Gerald, unable to believe his past self. With one fluid movement, Gerald then poked his past self’s acupuncture point to shut him up. Sure enough, his past self instantly went unconscious after that! “You’re going to undergo a complete change of fate soon, buddy… I hope you won’t continue being a useless wimp like I had been right after my transformation! You’re a man, aren’t you? Start acting like one!” muttered Gerald to himself as he lifted his past self up, a wry smile on his face. The plan was for him to hide his past self well, and once he did, he’d erase the past Gerald’s memories
