Chapter 937 Leaving
Gerald and the others were indeed a little nervous all afternoon, but fortunately, not many accidents
happened.
In the evening, Kristian did come over and find Gerald and the others, along with Sylvie, who was wearing a
veil.
“You didn’t get beaten up?” Gerald asked.
Kristian cleared his throat and said, “I got beaten up!”
As he spoke, he lifted his sleeves, which were covered in bruises.
Gerald could not help but burst out laughing when he saw that.
Kristian glanced at him resentfully and said, “You… are laughing out loud.”
Gerald coughed and said, “I can’t help it. Your dad is too cruel.”
“Like father, like son. That’s how my father was beaten up by my grandfather. Now, he has shifted his hatred onto me. My grandfather is the ruthless one.” Kristian cleared his throat and continued, “I’ll introduce you to
him when I have the chance.”
“Well, forget it, then,” Gerald hurriedly said.
During the conversation, Gerald glanced at Sylvie and asked, “Do you want to come with us?”
Sylvie looked at Gerald and said coldly, “If you don’t want to see me, I can leave.”
Gerald let out a dry cough and declared, “Uh… No! It’s mainly for dinner. How are you going to eat with a veil
on? I noticed that you’ve only drunk a little juice at the banquet.” He then continued suspiciously, “Also, I heard from Skyler that whoever sees your true face will have to marry you.”
“It’s just a rumor. I’ve never said that. Wearing a veil is just a personal habit, Sylvie said.
Kristian smiled and confirmed, “It’s true. I’ve been married to her for a long time.”
Gerald was dumbfounded. Rumors were indeed harmful.
“Let’s go out first!” Kristian said.
He brought Gerald and the others out for a meal because they had a common topic to discuss during the trial.
While eating, Sylvie didn’t take off her veil. She ate in small bites through the bottom of the veil.
Although the food there was good, Gerald, who was used to eating earthly delicacies, still felt that it was quite ordinary, which had a direct connection with his taste since childhood.
After dinner, Gerald bid farewell to Kristian and Sylvie. Before he left, he wanted to warn them, but in the end, he said nothing.
He was not that close to Kristian and Sylvie
It was because of Kristian’s personality that they seemed to know each other.
As for Sylvie, although she had taken the initiative to talk to Gerald about something, he still didn’t trust her
that much.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Anabel went to a shop and bought a hover car directly.
Because it was quite far from Mullen City and would take hours to reach it, Sylvie didn’t ask anyone from
home to pick her up.
She bought a hover car and got into it with Gerald and the others
“It’s finally over!” When the car drove out of Skylark City, a relieved smile appeared on Sylvie’s face.
Gerald smiled faintly and said, “Well, it’s finally over. You should be busy when you get back.”
Anabel nodded and said, “It’s most likely. When I go back, the news that I won the championship will definitely spread. When the time comes, some of the relatives who are close to the Pierce family in Mullen City, as well as the other branches of the Archaic Tribe and other forces, may congratulate us, and they may
be quite busy.”
She looked at Gerald and the others and said, “By the way, my father called this afternoon and said that he wants to see you and thank you in person. My parents also know that if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have won
the competition.”
Gerald shook his head and said, “Well, forget it. When I return to Mullen City later, you can just arrange the aircraft to send me back to the City of Phoenix.”
“Is… Is it that urgent?” Anabel was stunned.
