Paranoid, Brandon thought that it was better safe than sorry as virtual-novel.net called up Jeremy.
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net answer his call, Brandon explained his little incident with Gerald to Jeremy in a brief manner.
After that, Brandon’s men saw their boss’ face turning paler and paler!
“You are not worthy enough to know who virtual-novel.net is! However, if you are concerned about survival, I’d advise you to chop off the hands of anyone who touched Miss Bea just now! Perhaps you will be given an opportunity to live then!”
After Jeremy said his last sentence in a sympathetic tone, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone immediately.
“Brandon, what’s going on? What did Jeremy say?”
Brandon’s subordinates couldn’t resist the urge to ask when they saw the horrified expression on his face.
“Damn it! That scumbag Yura really got me into big trouble this time!”
After that, Brandon smashed his cell phone on the ground out of anger.
On the other end of this whole incident, Gerald held Bea’s hand as virtual-novel.net led virtual-novel.net out swiftly. Bea went back to their original room to inform virtual-novel.net cousins that everything was fine.
Frightened by what had just happened, virtual-novel.net had completely lost the mood to enjoy herself. That was also the moment that virtual-novel.net decided that virtual-novel.net was going to leave together with Gerald.
The same went for Giya, who was never interested in partying in the first place.
Furthermore, Gerald was already leaving. There was no reason for virtual-novel.net to continue lingering around here anymore.
So, virtual-novel.net chose to leave together with Gerald too.
Yura was burning with jealousy at this point but even more than this was the feeling of shock.
“What is going on?”
As they had agreed upon, Gerald should have been humiliated and embarrassed at this point. Wasn’t Yura supposed to bring everyone else with virtual-novel.net to watch and ridicule Gerald as virtual-novel.net was being humiliated?
What was Brandon up to? What the hell is virtual-novel.net doing?
Yura approached Brandon’s room, filled with anger and rage.
“What are you doing?”
Yura asked Brandon coldly.
Yura was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw one of Brandon’s men lying down on the ground with his face covered in dark-red, gooey blood.
“What happened?” Yura asked.
Boom!
The answer to Yura’s question was Brandon’s red wine bottle smashing into the side of his head.
“Yura! I will settle this score with you in the future! Let’s go! A few of you will have to go to the entrance of the hall tonight! I won’t let you go without some punishment!”
After Brandon was done speaking, virtual-novel.net left with beads of cold sweat all over his face.
All this was simply because of a sentence Jeremy had said over the phone, which made Brandon feel nervous and on edge. He felt as though his spiritual and carnal side as a human being was in a great conflict with one another at this point!
“The both of us are not worthy enough to find out about his true identity. All that you need to know is that even Mr. Hodges has to bend over backward and bow down in front of virtual-novel.net to speak to virtual-novel.net every time they meet!”
After leaving with Bea, Gerald walked Giya downstairs as Giya was still following him.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them. They simply walked forward wordlessly.
“Gerald, you have changed!” Giya suddenly said.
“Me? Changed? No, I did not!” Gerald replied with a smile.
Gerald felt that although virtual-novel.net had already returned to his family, nothing about virtual-novel.net changed that much. He was not as extravagant as his elder sister and virtual-novel.net was still the same old Gerald from before. He still very much enjoyed living a plain and simple life.
Nothing about virtual-novel.net had changed!
“You really have changed! Perhaps you cannot feel it, but I can see it in your eyes! Seriously! You’re like a completely different person now!”
“When Tammy and the others were mocking you back then, you would simply lower your head. However, things are different now! You even hit someone else in retaliation just now. I mean I was scared but, no doubt, you made me feel as though you were a complete stranger and not the Gerald I used to know!”
Giya struggled to articulate virtual-novel.net feelings concisely.
If virtual-novel.net really had to point out which part of Gerald had changed, then it would be how virtual-novel.net created a sense of security whenever he’s around her, something that at one point in the past was lacking.
“I really did not change at all. I bet it’s because of how little time we spent together in the past!”
Giya did not refute his statement. Instead, virtual-novel.net carefully raised virtual-novel.net gaze and glanced at Gerald meekly before virtual-novel.net stopped and asked softly, “Gerald, what exactly happened to Mila?”
Although Giya knew that Gerald would feel upset if virtual-novel.net reminded virtual-novel.net of that girl, the reason why virtual-novel.net tagged along with virtual-novel.net was that virtual-novel.net wanted to find out what happened to Mila…
