It was only when Yura saw one of Shane’s other subordinates brandishing a knife at him when hefinally returned to his senses.
“L-let’s not act recklessly now, Mr. Long! If anything, let’s just talk it out!” stuttered Yura as his fear grewby the second.
“Hah! If you were a bit more aware of how to properly behave, then I wouldn’t have needed to treat youlike this in the first place! Regardless, why are you speaking as though I’ve come after you looking fortrouble? I’m here for your own good! After all, nobody would’ve ever been able to guess that Bea hadthe Crawford siblings on her side. As a result, she’s now the most influential big shot in all of Yanken!While the Long family will surely suffer a lot from that, I’m sure the one suffering the greatest loss isyou, Mr. Yaleman! Don’t you agree? Once the future heir of your family, now reduced to a nobody, am Inot right?”
Hearing that, Yura clenched his fists hard before asking, “What exactly do you wish to say, Mr. Long?”
“Me? Oh, I’m not saying anything! Speaking of which, I heard that Lady Yaleman has announced thatBea will be the Yaleman family’s heir! Such a pitiful position you’re in… Not only did you not gainanything at the end, but Bea could very well already be plotting to have her revenge against you andyour family!”
Shane watched as Yura’s gloomy expression turned worse with every word he said. Once he was sureYura couldn’t get any gloomier, Shane then added, “Well, since you’ve pretty much already hit a dead
end, why don’t you cooperate with the Long family? If we’re going down anyway, we may as well fighttill our very last breaths. If all goes well, the Long family may end up not suffering that massive a lossand you may still be able to take control over the Yaleman family! In fact, you could even end upbecoming the family’s master if you join us!”
“You… What…? What’s your plan…?” asked Yura after thinking about Shane’s words for a while.
“Interested, are we? Let’s discuss it then!” replied Shane, a wicked smile on his face as he nodded.
It was a little before dawn some three days later when a team of cars left the Yaleman family house.
“Since your family is both powerful and influential, it doesn’t surprise me that you know about theMoldells in Yanken… While the last I’ve contacted them was a good few years ago, I distinctlyremember that their family owes me a single favor. However, as I’ve said, it’s been years since we lastmet and I’m not sure whether they’ll still be willing to bother with families like us…” said Lady Yalemanas she held onto Gerald’s right hand in the car.
After getting to know Gerald a little more in the past few days, Lady Yaleman found herself adoring hergentle grandson more and more.
As a result, upon learning about the details of Mila’s and Dylan’s younger brother’s disappearances,she readily agreed to confront the Moldell family together with Gerald.
Since they had time to spare before actually arriving at the Moldell family’s house, Lady Yaleman toldGerald the gist of how she got acquainted with the Moldells in the first place.
In short, it was mostly coincidental.
Back then, a junior member of the Moldell family was carrying out a mission. Unfortunately, his missionwas thwarted and his enemies immediately began hunting him down. It just so happened that the
garden he managed to escape into belonged to the Yalemans.
At the time, Lady Yaleman was still in her forties and, as she said herself, she wasn’t a stubborn bigotlike how she eventually came to be.
The seriously injured child she saw in the garden was aged around sixteen, and being ascompassionate as she was back then, she took him in and saved his life. Days later, the child left yetshe didn’t think much about it.
It was years later—when Lady Yaleman had become the master of the Yaleman family—when the twofinally crossed paths again. Back then, she was bringing her son and daughter out to attend anoccasion of sorts. Halfway through, however, the Yaleman family’s business rivals blocked their path! Itwas a planned assault!
During their most perilous moment, a person stepped forward and saved Lady Yaleman and herchildren. Though it took her a while, she soon came to realize that her savior was the child she hadsaved years ago. He had returned to repay her kindness!
Before he left, he gave her an address and told her that he would lend her a hand once more if sheneeded his aid in the future.
It had been almost twenty years since she last had any contact with him. She was honestly unsurewhether the child even remembered the promise anymore.
That was about the gist of the situation.
Eventually, the car arrived at a mountainous area.
The entire area seemed to be filled with an unnerving miasma. The fact that the trees grew so spaciousonly served to increase the feeling of unease.
“What a large mountain… Are you sure this is the place, grandma? We haven’t passed by a singleperson in a while…” said Gerald as he got out of the parked car to have a look around, feeling puzzled.
As he helped Lady Yaleman out, she firmly replied, “That child wouldn’t lie to me… This is the exactaddress he gave to me, so I’m definitely sure he’ll be here.”
After scanning through the area once more, Gerald realized that there was a wooden house a littlehigher up. It seemed to still be inhabited by someone.
“…Wait for me here, grandma. I’m just heading up there for a bit to see if I can find anyone. If there is,I’ll ask them if we’re at the exact location…”
