In addition, with Quest returning home safe and sound, Gerald knew that he had secured a shelter in the Salford Province where he could retreat to should things ever get awry.
It was honestly the only shelter he had left.
If there ever came a time where the Westley family was exposed, Gerald knew for a fact that he wouldn’t have anywhere else to seek refuge once the Moldells caught scent of him. After all, he had killed four Moldells back in the Salford Province.
While he was sure that the Moldells weren’t going to kill him easily, he couldn’t deny that their family was extremely powerful. Gerald was well aware that he shouldn’t even consider dealing with the Moldells on his own.
It was the reason why he was now carefully considering every move he was about to take.
After arranging for Yoel’s trip to the Salford Province, Gerald immediately headed to Mountain Top Villa.
Climbing atop one of the many high trees nearby, Gerald closed his eyes as he rested against a sturdy branch, high above the ground.
There, he laid in wait till night eventually came. It was then when he finally opened his eyes again.
By then, Mountain Top Villa was already brightly lit.
After checking if anyone was close by, Gerald dropped his haversack to the ground, creating a soft thud. Following that, he got off the tree as well, landing silently as though he was a cat.
Now on the ground, he opened his haversack and pulled out a black, hooded trench coat. After slipping it on, Gerald’s face could barely be identifiable.
With that, his infiltration mission began.
“So, what’s the situation like? What did the men you sent over to the Salford Province say?” asked a young man who was lying on a sofa in Mountain Top Villa’s living room.
Within the room, were several men who were standing at ease, their hands to their backs. Hearing his question, a few other men standing right before him explained, “Since the Schuyler family mansion was completely razed to the ground and everyone from that family has been declared missing, we haven’t been able to find any leads on where the Quentin & Trey duo could be! We aren’t even sure if they’re dead or alive!”
“B*stards! You should be well aware that all members of the Moldell family are of noble blood! No ordinary person could be compared to both Quentin and Trey! They’re my right-hand men! If they truly were to meet their end in a place like the Salford Province, that would surely spell the greatest humiliation the Moldell family has had to face! Double your efforts until you find them!”
