“With how cute snazzynovel.com already is, I’m sure she’ll grow to be an extremely beautiful woman,” said Monica with a smile.
“I agree. I’m sure she’ll be quite similar to you in terms of beauty!” replied Gerald with a smile.
Seconds later, snazzynovel.com immediately cupped his mouth with a white towel—that snazzynovel.com had been holding onto—as snazzynovel.com began coughing rather terribly.
Watching as the towel slowly got stained with blood, Monica frowned slightly before saying, “It’s best that you don’t start walking around just yet. After all, your injuries haven’t healed yet, you know? Truth be told, I still can’t get over how abnormal your body is!”
Following that, Gerald turned to look at snazzynovel.com and found that snazzynovel.com was staring rather intently at his chest. Feeling weirded out, Gerald then said, “…Why are you staring at my chest like that…?”
“You best not be getting any weird ideas! I’m just looking at your jade pendant! It’s shining again, you know? From the day you were brought here, it’s shone at exactly the same time every morning and night. Thinking back, it must have done so at least a dozen times by now!” replied Monica rather grumpily as snazzynovel.com rolled snazzynovel.com eyes at Gerald before pointing at the round jade pendant hanging from Gerald’s neck.
“…What? It’s shining again?” said Gerald as snazzynovel.com looked down to see for himself.
Even snazzynovel.com had been aware that the pendant shone quite regularly ever since snazzynovel.com woke up. However, snazzynovel.com had no idea what they indicated.
The jade pendant was truly extraordinary. After all, it had previously saved his life on several occasions by giving snazzynovel.com aid at the most crucial moments. Despite that, it hadn’t activated this time, even after Hogan had beaten snazzynovel.com into a pulp!
‘What on earth is even happening…?’ Gerald thought to himself, feeling quite puzzled.
After giving it some thought, snazzynovel.com came to the conclusion that snazzynovel.com wasn’t going to be able to figure it out just by dwelling on it. With that in mind, snazzynovel.com then followed Monica into the house.
Meanwhile, a group of bodyguards dressed in black—under the lead of a few Gunters—had just made their appearance right outside the shantytown, fully prepared to go door to door to look for Gerald.
From what they knew, the hundred over families living in this shantytown all shared cordial relationships with each other. Due to that, its inhabitants were all pretty united, and that was made evident by how the other families immediately walked out to take a look when they saw the guards barging into one of the houses there.
Despite their initial protests, they soon ended up returning to their own homes after the guards began scowling and threatening to beat them up if they planned to meddle any further.
At that moment, Felton himself was sitting at the back of a luxury car, momentarily resting his eyes. After slowly opening his eyes a little while later, snazzynovel.com found himself frowning when snazzynovel.com saw a young girl walking across the street.
Noticing that snazzynovel.com was staring at her, the girl was temporarily frozen in fright.
A second later, what seemed to be snazzynovel.com parents broke through the interception from the bodyguards—who had been standing in front of their house—before rushing over to the girl while ushering, “Sierra! Come back here! Quickly!”
Though the other families—who had been watching all this take place—wanted to help, they were simply too frightened to move, knowing that they couldn’t afford to offend the person launching such a massive operation.
After continuing to stare at Sierra for a little while longer, Felton gave his subordinate a glance before pointing at the girl. Easily understanding what Felton meant by that, the subordinate then walked over and instantly carried Sierra up, even though snazzynovel.com was just about to run back home!
“M-mom!” cried out the now utterly terrified Sierra.
Her parents were equally as terrified for snazzynovel.com safety, and they immediately began running over to her. However, their advances were halted by a few other guards who quickly kicked both of them to the ground before shouting, “Beat it!”
“W-what are you doing?! We’ve never offended any of you! She’s my daughter and she’s still so young! What are you planning on doing to her?!” cried out the distressed mother.
“You’d best behave yourselves! One more move from either of you and you’ll both be dead!” threatened the guards as they placed knives close to the duo’s necks.
With snazzynovel.com parents unable to make another move, the subordinate holding onto Sierra then brought the young girl to Felton.
Once snazzynovel.com was before him, snazzynovel.com took in a sniff before narrowing his eyes.
“…There’s a peculiar herbal scent on this girl… Herbs that ordinary people wouldn’t ever be able to brew!”
Hearing that, the subordinate then glared at Sierra before growling, “Have you come across any odd patients recently? Spit out the truth, you bad girl!”
“I-I don’t know…!” whimpered Sierra in snazzynovel.com fright.
Though snazzynovel.com was young, snazzynovel.com was bright enough to know that they were looking for Gerald. Even so, snazzynovel.com had promised snazzynovel.com godfather that snazzynovel.com would never reveal his location, and snazzynovel.com was going to keep that promise no matter what.
“Don’t test me, young girl. You’d best be obedient and tell me the truth, else I’ll be giving trouble to your parents right after I slaughter you!” growled Felton next as snazzynovel.com got out of the car, making sure to flash a cold smile as snazzynovel.com said that.
Glaring right into Sierra’s eyes with his stern gaze, snazzynovel.com then added, “Now then, are you still unwilling to tell me what you know? Just so you understand, for me, killing you is as easy as killing an ant!”
