His eyes stared coldly at the man as he asked a question.
With his sharp ears, Gerald could hear how the man was breathing from where he was standing. Based on that alone, Gerald could already tell that this was an extraordinary person.
As the figure did not reply, Gerald was about to consider his next move when suddenly, a few flashes of lights flashed in front of him. The next thing he knew, four other similarly dressed men jumped out of nowhere and they were now all standing in front of him!
Just like the person he was originally after, the four new hooded figures seemed to possess far higher skills and abilities than the ones he currently had.
'Could it be the Moldell family?' Gerald thought to himself.
"There are two reasons why we called you today, Gerald!" announced the man who led Gerald there. From his voice, Gerald could guess that the person behind the hood was a rather old man.
"Say them."
“Before that, I hope you realize that the Crawford surname has been passed down for many years and is widely associated with great honor and wealth. Know that as the young master of the Crawford family, you have humiliated and undermined the Crawford family's moral standards and their way of life by agreeing to become a stay-at-home son-in-law! Therefore, the first reason we call you today is to teach you a lesson!”
“So, you know my real identity.. Based on what you just said, can I at least confirm if you are from the Moldell family?” ask Gerald.
However, the man did not answer.
Instead, the man ran forward and even before Gerald could react, the man was already right in front of him! Immediately after, the man gave two hard slaps to his face!
As soon as he recovered, Gerald immediately turned to look at his attacker. However, he was shocked when he realized that in just the blink of an eye, the old man had returned to his original position!
Gerald barely had a fighting chance!
In his surprise, Gerald repeated his first question, “...Who...Who are you all?”
"Four Mighty Kings...?"
“It will be us!”
“For these ten days, the four of you should be by Gerald's side and obey all his commands. Regardless of whether he obtained the Ginseng King or not, after ten days have passed, all of you should bring him back to our master!” instructing the old man in black clothes.
"Agreed!"
After hearing that, the old man nodded before turning around. However, before he could leave, Gerald shouted, “Wait! Who exactly is this master you are talking about? ”
Since the corner of Gerald's mouth was already bleeding from the two slaps he had received earlier, he asked as he cupped his cheek.
"You'll know who he is once you meet him!" the old man replied before leaving immediately.
... Very quaint. Thinking about it, the strength and abilities of these people far exceeded what even the Moldell family could possibly do. Could there be a stronger master in this world who was not from the Moldell family?
As Gerald speculated, he thought about how great it would be if Finnley was by his side now. After all, Finnley could definitely estimate how powerful these people really were!
When Gerald tried to question the Mighty Four Kingsmen for more details, all they did was nod or shake their heads. It was clear that he would not get any useful information from them, and this made Gerald feel very helpless about the whole situation.
Understanding that he would only be able to find out more about them once he met their master, Gerald told them to return to his residence to await further orders. After all, it would not be convenient for him to have them since he still lived in the Yowell family home.
Speaking of the Yowell family, at that time, Heidi had gathered all of his family members in the hall of the Yowell noble family.
Realizing that Gerald doesn't exist and Juliet herself seems to be looking for him, Heidi then says, “Huh! Isn't it perfect that he doesn't exist! Maybe he's dead somewhere! Wherever he goes, never let me see him again! I just feel so upset and frustrated every time I think about his face! Anyway, I've called all of you here today to announce something very important!”
