Though he initially had hope that Gerald could provide him with some useful information, as it turned out, this session had simply been a complete waste of time…
Sighing as he stood up, Ichiro then said, “…Well, since it’s come to this, could you leave your contact number with us, Mr. Crawford? We may still need to talk to you some other time, though rest assured, we won’t make things difficult for you!”
“No problem,” replied Gerald as he flicked his cigarette with a smile.
Once that was done, Gerald got up to leave the interrogation room… However, the second he stepped out, he momentarily paused. There was a familiar scent nearby…
Gerald, for one, knew that the individual was a cultivator, though he couldn’t really tell who the scent belonged to specifically… Still, he knew he knew that this was the scent of a familiar person… But who?
Shaking his head, Gerald eventually chose not to bother too much about it. After all, even if the person was a cultivator, they weren’t exactly a threat to him. Besides, after meeting so many cultivators, Gerald knew for a fact that not all cultivators would be hostile toward him. Perhaps this cultivator was just here by coincidence.
Whatever the case was, upon realizing that Gerald was still standing there, Ichiro was prompted to ask, “Is something wrong, Mr. Crawford?”
Waving his hand, Gerald then replied, “…It’s nothing. Just a dizzy spell.”
Either way, after a short while, Master Ghost walked over to him before whispering, “Gerald, follow me for a bit. There’s something I need to tell you…”
Knowing that Master Ghost wouldn’t use that tone unless things were absolutely serious, the now vigilant Gerald was prompted to ask, “What is it?”
Seeing that there were quite a few special forces agents around, Master Ghost gently grabbed onto Gerald’s wrist before saying, “Let’s talk about this someplace else.”
Nodding in response, Gerald then followed Master Ghost to a secluded corner. Once they were there, Gerald couldn’t help but frown as he waited for Master Ghost to share what he had to say…
