Seeing Wes take another deep breath, Peter then asked, “? Also, how many bodies are we talking about here?” bit.ly/bacanovelgerald “Ada.. Not much, to be honest.. About eight of them, if I remember... I was too afraid of the terrible cries coming from the backyard back then to pay good attention.!” wes' clear answer is still traumatized by the experience. “...So... After that, you fell into a well and just stayed there until now…? Is that what happened?” gerald asked as he and Peter exchanged glances. Gerald believed in Wes' words because he had previously used his divine visions to detect any lies. Everything Wes said was true. “Yes, Mr Crawford! Also, not long after I fell into the well, I started hearing people running towards me! Worst of all, I dived deeper into the well! I assume that's the only reason I'm still alive! ” clear Wes. “...Who set all this up...?” murmured Gerald before taking a deep breath. His blood and qi were boiling at this point, and anyone would be able to sense the killing intent emanating from him. “However, I ended up sticking my head out of the water and peeking to see if the beach was clean .. However, I was immediately greeted by the sound of a heavy object being dragged … Assuming that the bodies were being disposed of, I was so frightened that my bit.ly/bacovelgerald did not even dare to reveal itself until I heard your familiar voice, Mr Crawford! Still is... Why did this terrible thing happen, Mr Crawford...? With your family so strong, I can't even imagine anyone brave enough to touch you!” wes shouted, his voice filled with sorrow. “...You mentioned something earlier about people who knew that something had happened to the Crawford family before you arrived at this manor... Who exactly told you about the rumor?” ask Peter coldly. “I found out from some regional managers in Weston! From what I know, they were the first to know about the incident! ” "..I saw. By the way, you said you had something to report to the Crawford family... What's the matter?” “Y-yah! Well, I found that some managers from larger areas transferred the Crawford family property in secret. While I wanted to immediately report the incident, I was unable to find the relevant person! I really did not expect something like this to happen to your family when I first arrived here, Mr. Crawford.!” wes lamented, still kneeling on the ground crying. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald "Manager you say ... Looks like they know a thing or two about this incident!" answer Peter. Nodding in response, Gerald then said, "I will immediately arrest and interrogate them about this!" “...No, don't do that first. It is best not to notify the enemy before you investigate further details regarding this incident. After all, the fact that regional managers actually dared to transfer property in secret was already very suspicious. From what I know, the regional managers of the Crawford family have always passed on their expertise to the next generation, and every generation of— up to this point— has been loyal to the Crawford family. With how loyal they were, betraying the Crawford family when they were in danger seemed very unlikely. With that in mind, let us not act impulsively until more incidents are revealed, ” Peter replied after thinking for a moment. After hearing that, Gerald nodded although he also started looking at the man curiously before finally asking, “...You seem to know quite a bit about my family, don't you, Sir?” It's not the first time Gerald has a hunch about it, and he's curious why Peter knows so much about him. “...Do you know me for a long time, Sir? Or did we meet when I was much younger?” asked Gerald. bit.ly/bacanovelgerald Shaking his head with a smile, Peter then replied, “Yeah. Look, I first got to know you while you were studying at university. Of course, I kept a close eye on your daily experiences back then.” Peter didn't feel the need to hide any of this anymore, and his statement—as expected— was a shock to Gerald. "…What? Have you been quietly observing me all this time, Master? ” asked Gerald in confusion. "Well, observing is not the proper term here .." replied Peter, seemingly thinking of something before his expression gradually turned serious. “But you know a lot about me, Sir... With that in mind, how else can you know me so well if you don't observe me?” gerald asked, not understanding Peter at all. "Frankly, I have been observing others who have been observing you all along!"
