She was currently sitting beside Gerald as their team of cars headed toward the gathering.
“I think it’s fine…” replied Gerald as he looked down at his shirt with a slightly bitter smile.
As the cars approached a commercial building, Gerald looked out the window. To his surprise, the first person he saw was a rather familiar-looking youth.
“Is there anything wrong, sir?” asked Yukie.
“If my eyes do not deceive me, that seems like an old classmate of mine… Or at least a person that resembles him a lot. Regardless, stop the cars here. I’m heading into that building,” ordered Gerald.
Hearing his command, all the cars under him immediately halted in the middle of the road.
Though this essentially blocked most of the main road, nobody dared to say anything about it. After all, whenever the people of Talgo Town saw a team of cars acting like they owned the place, they knew that a big shot—whom they most likely couldn’t afford to offend—was present.
As a result, the other drivers on the road simply opted to take detours.
Meanwhile, Gerald and Yukie entered the commercial building together.
The youth from before was choosing from an array of suits when he suddenly felt a firm pat on his shoulder. Shocked, he immediately turned to look at who had done the deed.
His shock, however, quickly turned from surprise to joy.
“F*ck! Is that really you, Gerald?”
“So it really is you, Harper!” said Gerald with a smile on his face.
“I had no idea you were still in one piece! After all, the last time I heard, you had gone missing! So you were in Heavenly City this entire time! No wonder I couldn’t get any information on your whereabouts regardless of how much I asked around!” replied Harper excitedly.
“Regardless, how wonderful to be able to meet you here again after so long!” added Harper as he patted Gerald’s shoulder in return.
