Handsome Men of Humility Part 3 - Finished.
Chapter 1405

As he stepped in, the only thing that greeted Gerald was the darkness and silence. Now filled with fear and worry, he did not even dare to go any further. He simply could not bear the thought of witnessing the same scene he had experienced inside the ancient tomb. Despite her fears, she knew she still had to see for herself the truth of the situation. With that in mind, he slowly stepped further into the manor ..Used to how lively Crawford Manor used to be, Gerald inevitably gave goosebumps with how lonely the manor was now. Activating his sacred senses,—to facilitate the detection of signs of life—Gerald quickly found that the area where he is currently located is completely empty.. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald Don't want to give up that easily, he quickly proceeded to the next area within the manor. With how fast he was, he immediately finished searching every nook and cranny in the manor.In the end, his search results made him simultaneously happy and depressed. While he was devastated that there was no trace of life in the entire manor, he was happy—at least—the situation here did not resemble the conditions on Warhill Island that Mackusion had shown. In other words, he felt relieved that he had not found a corpse. That means there's a chance his family members are still safe, even if they're missing. 'Just remain... Where can everyone go...?' Gerald thought inwardly, disappointed that he did not even find a single person in the manor. 'Is there any hope that they are all still okay...?' Gerald thought to himself as Peter and Zyla rushed in. After seeing how desperate he was, they already knew his search results without needing to ask. Peter himself had previously looked around the courtyard, and he already had a bad feeling about all this before he even reunited with Gerald. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald “I've used my sacred senses to find them, but I can't find anyone at all…! They just disappeared into thin air...!” gerald muttered softly as he clenched his fists. “At least no bodies! With that in mind, don't worry too much! There's a chance they're all still okay!” zyla replied as she walked towards Gerald and held his hand. 'I hope so... Still, I wonder if the one responsible for all of this is that masked old man as well... If it is, not only did he steal Liamis corpse, but he also kidnapped all my family members!' Gerald thought to himself with a frown. As soon as his thoughts ended, Gerald and Peter's ears rumbled as they slowly turned to look back. There, lies an indoor well that was historically important to the Crawford family. Exchanging glances, the two were convinced that they had heard a voice coming from inside the well. Giving Gerald a nod, Peter then ran towards the well, and then ran towards the well, his arms stretched out as he fished out whoever was inside! bit.ly/bacanovelgerald After capturing someone, Peter immediately dragged them out of the well. And came out a plump middle-aged man who was soaked from head to toe! Now realizing that the man had been living immersed in the well all this time, Gerald found himself thinking, 'So he was submerged all this time... With how cold the water was there, no wonder I could not detect it despite using holy sense.... "..Who are you? And why are you hiding in the well in my house?” ask Gerald with a frown. With how alien the man is, Gerald is convinced that he is not a Crawford. “I'll use the name Wes Lakely, Mr. Crawford, and I'm a manager of one of the economic areas in Weston…! Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford..!” the man shouted as he immediately knelt down in front of Gerald. “...It doesn't answer my other questions, Wes. Why are you hiding in a well?” ask Gerald. “A-ah... Well, it's because something happened to the economic area I was in. While I had contacted the people from your family through the headquarters, I couldn't contact them at all, even after some time! In the end, things could not be delayed more bit.ly/bacanovelgerald much so I decided to come here directly two days ago to make a report. While I heard rumors that something was happening to the Crawford family, I didn't pay much attention to it until I actually arrived. However, upon arriving, I found it strange that there were not even bodyguards at the entrance…” clear Wes before taking a deep breath. "…What do you see?" ask Gerald. “...I... I saw a corpse... Many of them are your family bodyguards…! In addition, I also vividly remember hearing terrible cries coming from behind. Panic ruled over me back then, and the only thing I could think of was finding a place to hide! That's when I accidentally fell into a well.”.
