“I called you today mainly to discuss the incident. You are already a grown man so you should be aware of the secrets that our family obtained!” dylan said as he gently patted his son's shoulder.
“See, this symbol behaves like a curse. Whenever anyone personally received the symbol, they were lost in three days! To think that Mila is currently facing what your uncle went through twenty years ago!” obviously father.
“According to what Fynn said, the curse reappears every twenty years, and every time it happens, people disappear. He also said that no one who received the curse managed to escape him!” answer Gerald.
Shaking his head, Dylan then said, “Fynn is only half right there. While it is true that the majority who received the symbol were gone, I was able to find someone who managed to return safely!”
Hearing that, Gerald's eyes lit up.
“After interviewing him, the person stated that he had been saved by someone. In addition, I also get some important clues to help decode. Based on everything I currently know about the curse, it is most likely that your uncle and Mila have been arrested!”
“Caught? By who? Who could be that strong? ” asked Gerald, a tinge of hope in his voice.
“Unfortunately I don't know who the mastermind is either. With so few clues to follow, it makes me sad to say that we probably won't be able to delve further into this with the strength of the Crawford family alone.”
Nodding, Gerald then said, “I understand, dad. How about looking for people who made it back alive to see if we get any new leads?”
“When he was alive for fifteen years after returning safely, he died about six years ago. If we really want a capable maid now, then we should find the family that saved her back then, ” Dylan replied as he shook his head while smiling bitterly.
“As long as they are willing to help, our strength in this case will easily double! Son, let me ask you a question. Which of the families do you think is the strongest right now? ” asked Dylan while staring at Gerald.
“Although that is true in terms of economic strength, in terms of brute strength, some families are stronger than us. Take for example, the Moldell family of Yanken!”.
"The Moldells of the Yanken?"
Although Gerald had heard of the Longs and Quarringtons from the Yanken, he had never heard of the Moldells.
While he was stunned to learn that there was another powerful family living there, he quickly realized how little he actually knew. This conversation clearly helped him broaden his horizons.
"Indeed. In fact, the person I mentioned was saved by the Moldells. See, their bloodline is blessed with power, literally. Those from the Moldell family are naturally physically stronger than the average human. No wonder most of them are active in the military. There is also a very mysterious group of people in Weston who call themselves the Dragon Army. Regardless of how rich a family was, none of their guards would ever be able to compare to those within the group!”
“It's not overrated either. Those in the Dragon Army can kill easily and in complete secrecy if they wish. Even our extremely strict security systems could never dream of stopping them if they targeted us! Over the years, our family has recruited several experts and masters to protect themselves from that family, just in case they decide to kill one of us. However, the gap between us is getting bigger year by year! ”
Hearing all that, Gerald was dumbfounded. If his father hadn't told him all that directly, Gerald wouldn't have believed that such a person existed!
However, before long, Gerald realized that it was not too surprising. After all, he had met the likes of the duo Drake & Tyson and Finnley as well! The way these people operate is completely incomprehensible to the average person.
“...What about Drake and Tyson? Are they comparable to those in the Moldell family? ” ask Gerald.
