Chapter 1751
Chuckling in response, Xanry then smiled before saying, “Before that, I’d like to head to the washroom first!”
“Sure thing!” replied Gerald with a nod. While he knew that Xanry was trying to escape, Gerald didn’t feel the need
to expose him.
Whatever the case was, Xanry then got up and quickly left for the washroom.
Now that he had finally managed to escape from Gerald’s evil grasp, there was no way in hell that he was going to
dare offend Gerald anymore.
Soon enough, the classmate party ended smoothly and Gerald drove home together with Juno…

The second they stepped into her house, Juno instantly smiled as she turned to look at Gerald before saying,
“You’ve teased Xanry so much today, Gerald!”
Laughing heartily in response, Gerald then replied, “He’s at fault for offending me in the first place! I certainly
couldn’t just let him off after he did that, could I? Besides, you’re happy that I teased him too, no?”
Upon hearing that, Juno nodded before delightedly saying, “Of course I’m happy! That guy’s been pestering me
since my university days, you know? At long last, someone humiliated him!”
Since Gerald had humiliated him so much, she was sure that Xanry wouldn’t pester her ever again. That was one
troublesome person done with…
At that moment, a tiny creak was heard…
Turning to face the door that had opened, the duo watched as Ray slowly walked out…
Upon seeing them, he then quickly jogged toward them while saying, “Mr. Crawford! Miss Zorn! You’re back!”
“We are, but why are you still up, Ray?” asked Juno.
“I… I’ve been waiting for you to return! Old Flint sent you something!” explained Ray.
“What? He did? What did he send over?” asked Gerald curiously.
Upon hearing that, Ray re-entered his room before returning with a box and handing it to Gerald.
“It’s this unopened box with a letter attached to it! I’m guessing that Old Flint wrote the letter!” explained Ray.
Hearing that, Gerald then took the box and quickly opened it… only to reveal a perfume bag inside that constantly
emitted a faint, pleasant smell…

“…That smells so wonderful! I wonder why Old Flint sent you a perfume bag of all things…” muttered Ray.
While the gift was a pleasant surprise to both Ray and Juno, they quickly realized that Gerald was instead, frowning.
Did the perfume bag symbolize something…?
Not even bothering to reply to Ray’s statement, Gerald then quickly began reading through Old Flint’s letter… and
by the time he was done, his frown was much, much deeper than before.
Seeing how furrowed Gerald’s brows now were, Ray—who had never seen Gerald show such an expression before
—couldn’t help but ask in a concerned tone, “What’s wrong, Mr. Crawford? What happened? Your expression looks
so unpleasant!”
“Indeed! What did Old Flint say, Gerald?” asked Juno.
“…First of all, this perfume bag… It’s called ghost-luring perfume, and as its name suggests, it’s used to lure ghosts.
Moving on to the letter, Old Flint apparently wants to head to a place called Grimhelm to investigate some secrets
regarding vampires. Though he’s asking me if I’m willing to go with him, since he sent me this perfume bag, I’m
sure he means business. After all, I told him to only send this particular kind of perfume bag over if major issues
came up!”
