If Gerald has stayed, Kort would surely find an excuse to challenge the Crawfords.
Even though the Crawfords had the power to fight Kort’s repeated attacks, it was unavoidable that they’d be injured as well.
If their inheritance process was not stable enough it would be impossible for them to continue their search for the Sun League.
How long can the Crawfords survive if there was no peace?
Gerald’s departure could buy the Crawfords some time and Dylan was perfectly aware of this.
However, by leaving the protection which his family offered him, Gerald’s path would only grow harsher and more difficult to traverse. Both Kort and the Long family would never allow Gerald to slip off so easily.
Dylan held his fist tightly. He was struggling in his heart when he said those words.
“Wow! Never knew that Dylan Crawford would abandon his own son so readily when push comes to shove!” Kort frowned.
He sneered, “There is more to come! Master Parker, I shall save you some face today. I’ll remember the Crawfords from now on!” He waved his hand and left.
Dylan gave up his own son to protect their family’s assets. If things continued going downhill, he might be forced to do something even more insane.
If the Crawfords were to fight them with all of their power, Kort would never stand a chance.
Hence, it was not a good idea for him to linger around.
Even though Gerald’s farewell gave him no excuse to attack, Kort knew that he would still be the key to swallowing the entire Crawford family and he wasn’t at all fazed.
He left at the right time…
