I will Love You Forever - Chapter 109

A few hours ago, Gerard went to meet the committee but didn’t enter the hall.

Fernando spotted him standing outside with a woman by his side whom he knew wasn’t the human.

“What is he thinking? Why is he just standing there and not coming into the hall?” Salle asked confused and agitated.

“He wants us to go to him,” Fernando explained and Salle and the members were extremely unpleased with this proud attitude of his.

“What do you expect? This is why the moon goddess cursed him in the first place. I’m sure that he wouldn’t be freed from that curse anytime soon.” Karon spoke casually with a nonchalant smile on his face.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go and see his Majesty.” Karon spoke again and began to walk away when Salle retorted.

“Have you lost your mind, Karon? We don’t go to our subjects. They come to us. Going to Gerard now would only show that we are desperate.” she couldn’t handle a dent in her integrity and she could never succumb to going to meet a subject.

“But we are desperate aren’t we?” Karon pointed out. Indeed, just as much as they had threatened Gerard because of his marriage to a human, they also didn’t have a choice but to do what he said for now because they were also threatened by the blood moon. They had to convince him so that they wouldn’t get extinct on the blood moon night.

Salle was adamant about staying back and not letting Gerard control them which was typical of a witch. From the pride of a witch comes her power.

Fernando sighed, “We don’t have the time to worry about integrity. We are also at the edge at this moment.”

After saying that, he began to walk away as well and Salle could not believe her eyes and many of them followed leaving the three witches.

Her eyes turned dark and she turned to look at the other two witches by her side. There seemed to be some unspoken communication between the trio and after that, the two other witches nodded and they all left the building.

Gerard was standing there and was unshaken by their presence. In fact, he only came here to give them a piece of warning and not to succumb to their threat.

Karon was the first to be spotted and he had a mischievous smile on his face. Just like every other vampire, he was nonchalant and apathetic but extremely powerful.

“Hy nephew… You’ve grown so tall since the last time I saw you.” he joked around and even called Gerard his nephew even though they were unrelated.

Gerard said nothing and had his eyes on Fernando the whole time. His expression was indifferent and he looked as though he was here for only one purpose.

Madison was at his side and was waiting to know who ordered the ambush that caused her to lose her precious blood.

“I see you came.” Fernando started the conversation. “Did you get my message?” he asked referring to the incident from earlier today.

Madison gritted her teeth and wanted to snap his neck at that instant. She wanted to move forward but Gerard blocked her with his hand.

She was no match for Fernando and would only end up embarrassing herself. Gerard raised a brow and looked at Fernando indifferent.

“That is a very good way to send a message.” his voice was cold but his face was expressionless and no one could really tell what was going on in his mind.

“I don’t operate most satisfactorily. Besides, nothing valuable was lost, at least, not yet.” was his answer to Gerard and Madison totally lost it.

“You call shooting at me nothing valuable? I lost my babies you old pathetic fool,” she whispered the last sentence but everyone could hear her.

Fernando complete ignored her as though she wasn’t even there and spoke directly to Gerard.

“The committee has found out about your ambiguous relationship with a human…” he was still talking when Gerard cut him short.

“Marriage. I believe that is the correct term to use.” he corrected the old man after referring to his relationship with Ayla as an ambiguous one.

Salle’s fist clenched but she said nothing and just watched.

“We haven’t taken action yet because of your grandfather who used to be a reputable person in the committee but this abominable act can not continue,” Fernando explained in a calm yet powerful tone.

Gerard placed his hands in his pocket and decided to go straight to the point. “Just so you know, I have not come here to hear you speak but rather to give you a warning.”

Everyone was shocked and annoyed by Gerard’s words. How dare he say he came there to give them a warning? Who gave him such authority?

“Watch your tongue little boy,” Salle spoke in anger to him and even pointed her index finger to him.

Gerard ignored her and still maintained an expressionless face. “Stay away from Ayla or else you all will not live to see the blood moon this year.”

Karon laughed after the long silence. “What use is your threat? We won’t live to see the blood moon even if we decide to listen to you.” he pointed out and his smiley face instantly turned serious.

Gerard knew exactly what they were talking about and scoffed. His hands were still inside his pocket and his gaze was calm but the words that were about to leave his mouth would make the whole committee tremble in fear.

“Jinzu,” he said this word so calmly but the entire committee knew what it meant except for Madison who was not familiar with the terms in the committee.

Fernando’s gaze darkened. “How dare you threaten us with that word? You still don’t possess that kind of power so we aren’t the least frightened,” he yelled at Gerard but the expression on Gerard’s face made him doubt his words.

“You have twenty-four hours to make things right or else…” he didn’t need to complete his sentence for them to know what he was talking about.

“You can pretend to possess the power all you want but the last person had it centuries ago and he sealed his power in a safe vessel. Only a quad-blood can unleash it.”

Salle had just finished her sentence when she realized that Gerard was not far from telling the truth. Although he only possessed tri-blood, no one could know for sure who his ancestors were.

The look on her face made Gerard’s lip curl slightly upwards. He turned his gaze back to Fernando. “Twenty four hours.” was all he said before turning to leave.

The other two witches nodded at themselves and chanted a spell as Gerard walked away but he stopped in his steps then turned around a smiled at them.

Instantly, they both held their chest and cried out in pain. It was a counterattack and when the other committee saw this, they couldn’t help but look at Gerard angrily.

Gerard’s eyes were fixed on Fernando and that was a reminder of the ultimatum he had given the committee.

He then drove away in his car with Madison.

The car was silent for a long time until Madison decided to ask, “What is Jinxu?”

Gerard scoffed, “It’s just a mere superstition from a long time ago. It’s not real and I just made said it to frighten them.”

Madison finally relaxed feeling much better that he wasn’t worse than what he already was.

She had thought that he really possessed the so-called Jinxu and was worried that he would be more dangerous than she expected.

“So you bet our life on something you weren’t even sure of?” She asked feeling that it was risky.

“It is not my fault that the committee is dumb.” he calmly responded and she sighed.

“But how come those two were attacked?” she asked again confused.

“I’m under a curse remember.” he pointed out and Madison finally understood. Gerard could not be harmed by supernatural powers unless the moon goddess allows it and the moon was out when the incident happened. Natural, that old lady up there was watching.

She nodded in understanding but then shook her head again in disbelief.

Gerard was still driving when the screen close to the steering displayed a call from Lucy. He touched the answer key and heard Lucy’s distressed tone. “Master, the madam isn’t at home. She got home early today but now I can’t find her in her room,” she explained and Gerard got slightly worried.

Madison looked at Gerard worriedly after hearing the conversation. She had grown fond of Ayla and had the instinct to protect her.

Gerard ended the call and called Ayla’s number but she wasn’t picking up. He finally stopped the car and took his phone out.

He called her number several times but she wasn’t picking up. He also called Qin who was looking out for her but he didn’t pick up the call as well.

He then dialled another number. “Prepare a flight ticket. I going back tonight
