Chapter 2028.
Will has reason to worry like this. After all, even though Daryl had kidnapped Gerald's parents and sister, he didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, he made sure to take good care of them! That fact bothered him to no end.
While Daryl had promised that he would be the successor to the Crawford family, in the end, he was just an adopted son. Gerald, on the other hand, is a true Crawford. If he doesn't get rid of Gerald quickly, Gerald is very likely to replace him someday.!
Closing his eyes to think of his next move, Will finally walked to the door and called out to his two most loyal followers.
"You two, come in."
After entering, the two closed the door behind them before replying,
"Brother Will."
Nodding in response, Will then lights a cigarette for the two of them - as well as himself - before sitting on the bench. Crossing his legs, he then asked,
"You two should have known that Gerald was on Gong Island by now, right?"
"We're sober,"
Reply to one of the men as the two of them looked at each other.
"good. I want you two to go there tomorrow to finish off Gerald. I want this murder to happen fast, and the fewer people who notice you, the better."
Will growled while narrowing his eyes.
"With all due respect, brother Will, didn't the village chief say that he just wanted to test how strong Gerald was.? He doesn't want her to die, does he.?"
Another man muttered in confusion. Being Will's closest follower, they naturally knew about Daryl's orders.
Frowning in response, Will then replied,
"What part of 'I want him dead' do you not understand? Look, as long as Gerald's alive, he'll be a threat to my position as a successor to the Crawford family. As soon as he came out of the picture, no one else could get that position other than me! Understood?"
"Hard and clear!"
The two men answered, now understanding where Will came from.
"remarkable. Now prepare yourself. I'm looking forward to hearing good news from you tomorrow. After raising the two of you for so many years, it's time for you to help solve my problem!"
Will said that his cigarette was half-burned at the moment.
"Accepted!"
The two of them answered, saying nothing more because they knew Will was still angry.
It was only after they left that Will started to feel a little better. After all, he raised the two from the start, so he knew how strong they were. He had even planned on sending them to a cultivation competition as representatives of the Crawford family before this.
If they were to rank high in the competition, the status of the Crawford family would definitely rise, thus further securing his position as the next chieftain!
"I wouldn't even bother you if you stayed at Weston, Gerald. However, since you are eager to look for trouble on Longing Island, I will make sure you never leave this place!"
Will grumbled as he reached into the corner of his desk, tightening his grip until the corner of the table shattered.!
Moving back to Gerald, he was barely affected by yesterday's incident. As for the residents on Gong Island, they now not only knew that the granddaughter of the chief was on the island, but she also seemed to be in conflict with the Crawford main family.
Regardless, Gerald turned his head to look at the summoned disciples of the Sacrasolis Palace before saying,
"I will count on you all from today onwards!"
"Don't worry, brother Gerald! We will definitely take good care of this island! No one will enter this island without you knowing!"
Shouted the crowd in response as they took turns nodding.
Smiling when he heard that, Gerald then nodded as he said,
"It's a relief to have you guys around."
Chapter 2029.
While Gerald wasn't afraid of them, he was worried they would do bad things to those around him, such as how Lindsay was captured by Terenzio back then. Gerald, for example, didn't need such a thing to happen again.
At that moment, Aiden could not help but ask, though,
"What exactly did the Crawford family do..? If they really want to welcome you as Daryl's grandson, then they should have invited you back! Instead, if they want you to go, they could just kick you out! Why even go through such a tedious process to test your strength.?"
"As I know..."
Gerald replied while shaking his head with a wry smile.
Although he did not know what Daryl was thinking, he knew better than to go against the old man's words. After all, he did not want to put his parents and sister in unnecessary danger.
"Well, we can't stay here forever."
Aiden grumbled while writhing.
"Let's wait and see what happens first. Moreover, the more men he sent, the higher our chances of learning more about the situation on Longing Island. We'll move once we know enough!"
Gerald replied in a helpless tone.
"To be honest, you should have been more worried about protecting Miss Lawrence. He's your soul mate, isn't he? Remember, had Gerald not entered in time, Miss Lawrence would most likely have died by now."
Said the Ghost Master who was much more familiar with Aiden.
Now that they get to know each other better, they no longer share awkward silences, and even sometimes joke around.
After all, after hearing that, Aiden immediately shouted,
"Diia's just my employer."
It was as if he chose to have such a brutal person as his girlfriend! If she was the last woman on the planet, she would rather stay single and live comfortably!
"All right, stop, you two. Now is not the time for this. Either way, you both need to rest while you can. After all, we don't know when Crawford will strike again."
Gerald replied as he slightly furrowed his brows.
"It's not like you're going to let me fight" Aiden said.
"He has a point. Although she may need to protect Miss Lawrence, I, for example, do not have any fighting skills of any kind, so I do not really need the rest. Regardless, I learned something new about the sea map." Add Master Ghost.
"Oh? What did you find?" Ask Gerald quickly.
"Well, the thing is, the sea map should clearly state where Desire Island is. But the island was not there. Why do you think so?"
Master Ghost replied while closing the door tightly.
"Not knowing."
Gerald said as he shook his head.
"Well, after thinking about it for the past few days, a thought suddenly came to me today. Since the sea map pointed in this direction in general, could it be that we are already in the area of Longing Island?"
The Ghost master proposed as he took out a sea map and pointed at their island.
"What's? You mean we're on Longing Island?"
Gerald replied, his eyes widened completely.
"As I said, the area of Longing Island. You know, I feel that the name 'Island of Longing' is not intended for a single island, but for all the islands in this area!"
Master Ghost said as he drew a circle around the islands on the map.
"You're saying that Longing Island is the name for this cluster of islands?"
Gerald murmured with a frown. He never thought like this.
