“Let’s hurry and leave!” Dennise urged, looking at Jason who was standing still. But Jason’s gaze had leapt over Dennise, looking towards the direction of Hans Port. The girl of the deceased subconsciously looked back. Immediately, three Swift steeds entering her view. It was absolutely hopeless to outrun them. Not the brightest, but Dennise knew she couldn’t outrun the warhorses. Jason silently guessed. Before long, a group of people appeared within Jason’s line of sight. The leader was an incredibly tall, muscular young man who rode straight up to Jason, dismounted his horse swiftly. Jason himself was of a tall, muscular build, but the young man before him was comparable to Jason, and the two of them stood together like a pair of mini-giants. As Jason sized up the newcomer, the other was also taking in Jason’s appearance. Seeing a man as tall and strong as himself, the stranger’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but smile and open his arms wide. Saying this, he gave Jason a big hug without any preamble and patted Jason’s back vigorously, making a smacking sound. Jason, taken aback at first, quickly responded to the other man. And he patted even more loudly. It was certainly not for revenge. It was just that failing to do so would have seemed very impolite. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the first meeting between the cousins was extremely harmonious. After about a minute of mutual back-patting, Gerard was the first to let go of Jason and turned to crick his back, yet his smile grew even more intense. “You’re just like you were as a child.” “I can’t remember anything from when I was a child.” Jason replied accordingly. Gerard’s smile stiffened for a moment, while Jason continued with the explanation he had thought up well in advance. “I had some accidents in Taor.” “I lost a lot of memories.” “Fortunately, my coachman was good and brought me here as agreed.” Even though a lot of time has passed and many memories may fade with the passage of years, some memories etch into one’s very bones and remain fresh as ever. And Jason, without any such memories, would easily have shown flaws in his story. Thus, an appropriate excuse was necessary. Fortunately, Jason had just such a reason ready at hand. “You had an accident in Taor?” “Didn’t the secret letter say you had already left the city?” “Those damn ‘New Maggots’!” Gerard cursed under his breath, then looked up at Jason again. “I will secure justice for you.” “And I will help you recover your lost memories!” After saying this, Gerard again gave Jason’s shoulder a solid pat. Then, without waiting for a reaction from Jason, the cousin strode toward Bofute. The Chief of Security of Hans Port and two deputies bowed to Gerard, who accepted their salutes as a matter of course and began giving them hushed instructions. This scene made Jason’s eyes twitch. Without a doubt, his cousin’s position in Hans Port was much higher than he had imagined. At that moment, Dennise, who had been hiding behind Jason, once again came forward. The girl of the deceased spoke with a very serious and earnest tone. “You lost part of your memory in Taor?” “Then do you remember that actually I am your teacher, and you are my apprentice…” Before Dennise could finish, Jason swung his hand and slapped her on the forehead. Dennise squatted on the ground, holding her forehead and crying out in pain. This scene caught Gerard’s attention.
