Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1310
Though she was surprised by that, she was even more shocked when she saw Gerald’s condition. Covering her mouth as though she was looking at a monster, Monica then said, “You… Gerald, you’ve already recovered your strength…?”
“Indeed! Honestly, I hadn’t expected those breathing techniques to be so useful! They’re truly priceless treasures!” replied Gerald rather excitedly as he looked at both his hands.
“Do… You think you could teach me a technique like that?” asked Monica as her eyes instantly lit up. It was apparent that she was greatly interested in the breathing techniques that both Gerald and that middle-aged man were capable of performing.
“Of course! If a chance presents itself in the future, I’ll definitely select a suitable technique or two for you to learn!” replied Gerald with a smile.
By this point, Gerald already treated her as a friend, so he wasn’t against teaching her some of the simpler techniques. He had specified on the term ‘suitable techniques for her’ since learning something like Thunder Eruption was pretty much impossible for Monica at her current state. What more, Thunder Eruption behaved similarly like a talisman of sorts, and one needed a great comprehension of it before training on the technique could even begin.
Even so, Monica still looked excited as she said, “Remember, you’re the one who promised me that! Haha!”
With that, both of them then headed to the hall together. Upon arriving, both of them saw that the man had already fully prepared breakfast for them.
The man himself turned to look at Gerald, and despite seeing all the changes that Gerald had undergone, he didn’t look too surprised. Instead, he simply said, “Alright, let’s eat! Once the meal is over, however, I’d like you to head someplace to exchange a few herbs back, Gerald!”
Nodding in response, Gerald then asked, “Are the herbs in question going to be used to remove Sierra’s scars and also strengthen her bones? I had—quite honestly—been wondering whether I could go to Dordwell Heights to look for those herbs!”
“I’ll say it now that those herbs are very difficult to look for. Just take this letter here and go to Sunhill Rise on my behalf. There, you should seek out the master of King Valley. He’s my friend, you see, and if all goes well, he should give you access to the herbs needed to cure Sierra!” replied the man as he took a letter out and handed it to Gerald.
Gerald himself was fully aware that Sierra was only in such a sorry state at the moment because of him. With that in mind, anything that the middle-aged man ordered him to do—involving Sierra—was really a no-brainer.
“Speaking of which, do you still remember what I told you yesterday?”
“I do. You told me that no matter how much one trained, their power would always be limited to a certain extent. I understand that!”
The man truly had put a lot of thought and care when it came to Gerald. After all, even though Gerald was being sent to King Valley to do what was rightfully his duty—for causing so much pain to Sierra—the man was still willing to hand him a letter which would definitely ease the process of obtaining the herbs that he needed. From all that, Gerald could tell that this man truly was a kind soul.
Whatever the case was, Gerald was stopped by two guards as he approached the valley’s entrance. Seeing that, he gave them the letter and one of the guards headed off for a while.
A short while later, a middle-aged man donning a suit ran out excitedly as the guard from before calmly walked back to his initial post.
Looking at Gerald extremely friendlily, the middle-aged man then gleefully said, “Could you be my benefactor’s disciple? Actually, hold on, where are my manners! I go by the name of Myles Yateman, and I was the master of the valley’s driver in the past! The benefactor once saved both me and the master of the valley, you know?”
The benefactor… That should be that man, right? While Gerald saw that Myles was already treating him as that man’s disciple, it didn’t really bother him too much.
“A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yateman. Getting straight to the point, we’re in urgent need of those three herbs!” replied Gerald without beating around the bush.
“That… Actually, it’s rather inconvenient to speak about that here. Please, come with me, mister!” said Myles in an apologetic tone before cheerfully holding onto Gerald’s arm and walking by his side into the valley.
As they walked off, the two guards at the entrance of the valley simply gave contemptuous looks at Gerald—with no intention of being subtle about it—as they both thought, ‘Where did that bumpkin even come from?’
