In response, Master Long simply sighed.
âWell, thatâs good too. Itâs better to just let Shaw live happilyâ¦â
âHowever, even though we havenât contacted Kort for so many years, our familyâs still continued prospering!â said Joel.
âHumph! But of course! I assume Kort never launched another attack on us since his father died not too long after. Due to him passing on, Kort was involved in a fight for the post of the Moldell familyâs second master. That naturally meant that he wouldnât have had the time to bother us for a good, long while.
While Iâm not sure what became of him, based on the fact that heâs a natural schemer, it wouldnât be far-fetched to assume that he truly did end up becoming the Moldell familyâs second master.â
âI see⦠Do you plan to get help from Kort to deal with the Crawfords?â asked Joel who was starting to see the bigger picture now.
âWell, your guess is half right. Iâm not directly asking him for help. After all, if I do that, then as Iâve said before, the Long familyâs fame and name will be as good as ruined! Humph! However, even thatâs better than having the Crawford siblings acquire our family! Be aware that once we lead Kort out, a great mess will be sure to follow! However, the messier it gets, the better itâll be for us! Iâm positive that even the influential and powerful Crawfords wonât have an easy time dealing with him!â declared Master Long sternly.
After taking in a deep breath, he added, âJoel, come with me. Weâre inviting Kort Mordell off the mountainâ¦â
It was around three days later when a mysterious party was held by the Crawfords living in Northbay.
The party itself was so mysterious that most of the Crawfords themselves were prohibited from attending it.
Sometime during the party, two beautiful ladies took the chance to have a stroll outside the manor.
âIâm afraid I havenât even had the chance to thank you properly after you donated your blood to save my sister a few days ago⦠Thanks to you, sheâs now regained full consciousness,â said one of the ladies walking beside Gerald with a smile on her face.
âYouâre certainly most welcome, Miss Yselle. After all, compared to the help us Crawfords are about to receive from the Moldell family, what I did was akin to nothing!â replied Gerald who smiled back.
It was truly a coincidence that on the day Gerald and Lady Yaleman went to pay the Moldells a visit, they found that Winnie Moldell, the youngest lady of the Moldell family, was so terribly injured that she was already unconscious.
The Moldells had been searching high and low in secret to look for a person who had a suitable blood type to save her life. While it wasnât hard for them to find somewhat similar blood types, the Moldells were extremely strict in everything, even when it came to blood.
Fortunately, Geraldâs blood met all their standards.
After donating his blood to save Winnieâs life, Geraldâs body became rather weak. It was the reason why he and Lady Yaleman had stayed with the Moldell family for about a week.
âWell, the party is still going on inside, Miss Winnie and Miss Yselle⦠Iâll be heading back inside to serve the guests first,â said Gerald as he turned around to leave.
As he walked away, Winnieâthe other lady who hadnât looked at him at all throughout his entire conversation with Yselleâtook a peek at him.
âWhy are you like this, sister? Though Gerald is from the outside world, he still saved your life,â
reminded Yselle as she looked at Winnie.
âAnd who was it that said I wanted his lowly blood inside me? If it wasnât for him, my blood would have remained pure and prestigious!â said Winnie coldly.
âNow why would you say that? Geraldâs a rather nice person!â
Hearing that, Winnie frowned slightly before looking at Yselle.
âIâve been meaning to ask you, sister⦠From the moment Iâve regained consciousness, youâve kept mentioning him in front of me. Could it be that you have a crush on him?â
âI⦠I donât! Iâm just grateful to him for saving you⦠Besides, since weâve been sent here to help him and his family anyway, I thought itâd be nice if the two of you built a good rapport!â answered Yselle whoâs cute face was now blushing slightly.
âPlease, sister. Iâve had my fair share of experiences so I can see right through you. Itâs obvious why youâd be so curious about him. After all, you probably havenât met such a person even from when you were young! However, Iâll be frank and tell you now that itâs impossible! Itâd do you good to rid yourself of all such thoughts before itâs too late. The truth is, no man on this entire planet is a good person! All of them are equally lowly and vicious! The utmost scum!â
