Momentarily frozen in fear, the terrified Amare gulped as he slowly turned to face Will again.
Seeing that, Will then cleared his throat—pretending to be serious—as he said, “…Keep in mind that I’m just a regular member of the family. With that said, don’t identify me as the future patriarch since Mr. Daryl is still in control.”
“…Got it,” replied Amare as he nodded before swiftly leaving…
After he left, Will quickly closed his room’s door before pacing up and down—his hands behind his back—as he muttered, “How odd… Aside from being able to take Wolf and Luc down, Gerald was even able to evade Amare for so long! What kind of cultivation does Gerald even possess? Could his talents exceed that of ordinary people…?”
Though there were many questions in his mind, Will decided to put everything aside for now.
In the end, he was pretty sure that Daryl was still dissatisfied with him for sending others to assassinate Gerald before this. With that in mind, he didn’t dare make another move so soon or he may really need to give up his position as the heir of the patriarch… It certainly didn’t help that there were many others who were more talented than him within the family. What more, though being adopted by Daryl made him special, it also meant that he didn’t possess Crawford blood in him…
Fast forward to two days later, the cargo ship from Japan finally arrived in Yanam waters. Aside from eating and sleeping, Gerald had spent much of his time staring out at the ocean in the direction Yanam was. Knowing that he was getting closer to saving his family, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly anxious. After all, if he failed to save them now, there was a high chance that such a good opportunity wouldn’t present itself again anytime soon.
“A hundred percent! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have reported this to you in the first place! Regardless, why do you think that evil man’s returned leader…? Not only did he cause a massive mess in our military, but he’s also exterminated three major families here! If he’s really back for more trouble, then we may not be able to stop him!” replied the subordinate.
“Should we arm our most capable soldiers with our heaviest weapons to kill him before he lands? I’m sure trouble will start brewing the second he disembarks!” suggested the individual in charge of Yanam’s seas. He, for one, didn’t want history to repeat itself…
“Like I haven’t thought about that already! Either way, resume with whatever you were doing! I’ll contact you if I need anything else! Also, keep a close eye on Gerald at all times! Don’t let him sneak past us!” grumbled Carter who could feel a minor headache coming…
