Adding that to what she said earlier, Jasmine instantly started shaking as she asked, “...Could it be.. Could it be that you are my aunt's missing husband…? My uncle and Gerald shared..?” While chuckling with a smile, the man then replied, “You are really as smart as your aunt, Jasmine ...” “....So, that's right..?!” jasmine exclaimed as she closed her mouth in surprise. “...Master-No, uncle... Haven't you disappeared long ago…? Why do you just show yourself now ....? Also, how did you look like this..?” Based on what his aunt once said, Peter Crawford— his uncle— is quite a handsome and graceful man. With that in mind, his current terrifying expression would shock anyone! “Let's just say I have to end up like this to escape! Still, this appearance was not too bad as it allowed me to hide my true identity. In fact, thanks to my appearance, I was able to easily investigate a few incidents!” peter replied, his eyes returning to their original calmness. “Then...I assume that Gerald still doesn't know who you are, right? That you are the uncle he had been looking for all this time.?” ask Jasmine. “Of course not. After all, I have yet to deduce whether someone is good or evil... Anyway, I better not reveal who I really am to Gerald. Besides, I can still help her in secret!” peter said with a smile. “Who exactly are you trying to find out if it is good or evil.?” ask Jasmine. “Unfortunately, I can't explain that. Know for now that all my efforts will be in vain if the incident is accidentally revealed. Speaking of which, I shouldn't even reveal my true identity to you today, Jasmine! With that in mind, please promise me that you will keep my identity a secret for a while!” said Petrus. Peter has always been a quiet person, and for the sake of his investigations, he has constantly suppressed his desire to meet his family all along, regardless of how much he misses them. Unfortunately, once she found out—from Gerald— that Jasmine had been captured by Queena, she knew that she would not be able to continue suppressing that desire. With that thought in mind, he had secretly started searching for Jasmine from that day on. After finally finding him, he took the opportunity to carry out a rescue mission. While she was only planning to save him without revealing who he really was at first, Jasmine was too similar to her aunt for Peter's mind to not be bombarded with a series of thoughts. In the end, he gave up and finally revealed his true identity, Jasmine. “But of course, uncle! Still.... Where do we go now..?” ask Jasmine. “What, you don't want to meet Gerald? I think he's been back for some time now, so I'll take you to reunite with him!” said Petrus. Upon seeing Jasmine nod, Peter then began to lead her back.bit.ly/bacanovelgerald However, it was only a few steps later when she stopped dead halfway through. His once calm eyes were now slightly widened as he felt a chill running down his back, Peter found himself carefully observing his surroundings before saying, “...I'm afraid we should delay our return for about an hour, Jasmine...! ” "..Huh? Why…?" “Because I don't want those stalkers following me all the way back. Once they know where I live, they will definitely ruin the place! With that in mind, I will spend some time getting rid of them first!” peter replied with a brief smile. “But... There's nobody here besides us, right uncle..?” jasmine said while looking around. No matter how hard he scanned the area, there seemed to be no trace of humans nearby! “Don't bother looking for them. They were about fifty miles away, and they were divided into four main groups that headed in the four cardinal directions. Right now there are about a dozen of them heading towards us right now! ” Peter replied as his eyes momentarily blinked dark green. Hearing that, the frightened Jasmine was at once surprised then asked, “....You...You can see clearly up to fifty miles away, uncle..?” "Ha huh! Fifty miles is nothing to me! I can see even further..” replied Peter with a bitter smile.
