“Regardless, enough talk! You can contact my secretary when the time comes, but for now, dig in! No need to hold back just because I’m the deputy captain!” declared Maddox with a wave of his hand, prompting several servants to begin serving dishes and drinks… “As if everything’s that simple… If his words were genuine, then the Maddox we’re looking at is a fake…!” sneered Lucian in a soft tone. “Either way, we’ll see how things go. Still, I don’t think he’ll be daring enough to cause a mess before so many people,” replied Gerald as he began eating. “Aren’t you worried that he’ll try to poison you…?” muttered Lucian in a slightly concerned tone. “Even if he does, his poison probably won’t affect me at all. Remember, I’m no ordinary person,” replied Gerald with a smile. “…You’re right. Well, I guess I’ll dig in as well!” said Lucian who hadn’t considered that earlier. Only someone with high cultivation like Gerald would’ve been able to obtain the Devotion Mirror in the first pla

“Just head back first. I’ll get someone to send him home later,” replied Maddox with a wave of his hand. Though he was clearly worried, all Lucian could do was nod as he slowly left the area. On his way out, however, he recalled what Jobson had said regarding Gerald’s strength. If the boy was strong enough to take out the elders of the three major families, then Maddox was probably nothing to him. The thought of that definitely helped Lucian relax a bit more… Regardless, once Lucian was gone, Maddox lit a cigarette before clearing his throat as he said, “So… Any idea why I told you alone to stay back?” “Hmm? Not the slightest idea,” replied Gerald in an indifferent tone as he lit his own cigarette before turning to look at Maddox. “Well, not only does everyone now know that you’re staying back with me, but they’re also aware that you’re Lucian’s guest! With that said, should anything happen to me, the Grubbs will surely suffer!” scoffed Maddox as he crossed his legs, sounding l

“He said that I’d fall into his grasp within the next few days, so what else could that imply?” replied Gerald, honestly amused by how confident Maddox had sounded. “Well, that pretty much confirms it. All the things you learned that night pretty much pointed to him being the culprit anyway. Either way, what’s the next step? With how confident he seems with his plan, you should really refrain from acting rashly…” muttered Lucian in a worried tone. “I’ll just wait for him to tell me the news,” replied Gerald as he looked out the window… It was nearing midnight when they finally got back to the manor. The second they got out of the car, Aiden immediately rushed out, yelling, “Gerald!” The butler—who had two umbrellas in hand—soon ran out as well, calling out, “Master!” Upon standing before Gerald, Aiden immediately added, “Why didn’t you tell me you left? I could’ve followed to give extra protection!” “While I appreciate the thought, you’d probably end up needing my protecti

“Well, due to all this heavy rain, it’s honestly best if you leave for the island today. Otherwise, delays may happen and you wouldn’t want to miss the first day of the auction, right?” said the butler. Hearing that, Lucian turned to look at Gerald before asking, “Are you fine with leaving today?” “I’m good to go,” replied Gerald with a shrug. Nodding in response, Lucian was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Gerald’s request. With that, he turned to look at his butler again before saying, “Speaking of which, use our family’s connections to obtain some guns. The more, the better.” “…That’ll be difficult, but I’ll try my best,” replied the butler with a slightly troubled expression. “I don’t care even if you have to spend extra to get smuggled ones. They’re crucial for the rescue mission,” declared Lucian. Upon hearing that, the butler had no choice but to reply, “…Understood.” “Now that that’s out of the way… Go get Aiden. We’ll be leaving as soon as we’re done pa

It was half an hour later when the boats were finally anchored at the shore by a few men donning long robes. Upon disembarking, Lucian immediately displayed their tickets before saying, “The three of us are from the Grubb family in Yanam.” “Right this way,” replied one of the men after taking a brief glance at the trio. Nodding in response, Lucian then put their tickets away before gesturing for Gerald and Aiden to keep close as he said, “Alright, let’s have a meal before getting some rest. Since the sky’s going dark soon, I believe that the street stalls won’t open today.” Though the island appeared small, upon entering, Gerald quickly realized that it was probably even bigger than Gong Island. What more, instead of having a modern look, the island honestly felt like an ancient Weston town. Gerald, for one, felt like he had just time-traveled a thousand years back… Now feeling a bit more curious about the island, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Do people actually live on this isl
