Whatever the case was, the auction’s morning session soon ended and Gerald found himself walking out of the auction house with Aiden and Lucian…
Unbeknownst to the trio, however, a man wearing a suit was standing motionless in the middle of the leaving crowd, his eyes glued onto Gerald. Though several people scowled at him for blocking their way, the man paid them no heed. After a while, another man walked up to him, prompting the man to ask “…Is that Gerald?”
“I believe so. Still, I’m baffled that he’s eligible to partake in the auction in the first place. Regardless, I have no clue who those two men by his side are…” replied the other man as he stared at Gerald’s back.
“Forget those two, our target is Gerald. To think that I’d be able to bump into him here, of all places… Even god is on my side!” said the man with an evil grin…
The man in question was none other than the grudgeful Will Crawford! As for the other man, he was Will’s confidant who went by Finch Crawford. Within the Crawford family, Finch was second only to Amare in terms of cultivation. Regardless, while Daryl was supposed to have attended the auction with Will, the old man fell sick, so Will brought his confidant along instead.
In truth, Will had initially been quite hesitant to attend the auction. However, now that he knew that Gerald was here, he couldn’t be happier. The fact that Daryl was so far away from him, only made things better. After all, no matter what he did here, that old man would never be able to find out now!
Even so, Will still knew he had to do things flawlessly. That way, if Daryl got suspicious and decided to make investigations of his own, he would remain clueless for life!
Regardless, upon seeing that Gerald had almost disappeared into the crowd, Finch hurriedly asked, “When shall we do the deed, brother Will?”
While he certainly didn’t like the idea of doing so, Gerald remembered how serious Walter had been last night. Since he was currently deep in the Zeman family’s territory, if he continued refusing to save Walter’s daughter, Gerald could very easily lose his life. With that in mind, regardless of what he chose to do, he would still receive the short end of the stick…
Not wanting to overthink things, Gerald decided not to make a choice for the time being and simply see how things went first. He also needed to delay Walter as long as possible. Gerald, for one, believed that there had to be other ways to cure the cold poison…
While this was happening, Will and Finch themselves were looking rather flustered…
