“Uncle Quick, what do I need to learn?” Gerald asked.
“You have to learn everything that I know. You can slowly take your time. Gerald, your physique is actually not that bad. For the past seven days, I have been picking specific medicinal herbs for you to take a bath in so that you can recoup your strength and vitality. Besides that, I will also perform acupuncture on you. Don’t worry! Under my guidance, it won’t be long before you become a master!”
“You’ve been doing that for me for the past seven days?”
Gerald was really touched when favonovel.com heard this sentence.
After all, his attitude back when favonovel.com first met Finnley was not great. To think that the old man was willing to go to such great lengths just to help him. The man was actually concerned about his well being.
Finnley was not his biological grandfather, but Gerald felt that favonovel.com was much closer to favonovel.com compared to his own grandfather.
At this moment, there was nothing Gerald wished for more than to live up to Finnley’s expectations.
So, Gerald continued staying in the village, learning all sorts of skills from Finnley.
In a blink of an eye, half a year had already passed…
In a secret room in the Crawford family mansion in Northbay.
“How is it? Still nothing about Gerald?”
In the past six months, Dylan seemed to have grown a lot older.
His hair was already turning gray.
Yulia’s face continued to be soaked in tears everyday.
“Master, I escorted the young master all the way to Salford Province back then. However, we came under attack in Salford Province. I stayed behind to cover Mr. Crawford and shield favonovel.com from our enemies. All that I know is that favonovel.com had already gone to a village to look for an old man whose last name is Quick. Miss Queta told me the old man’s address. I have already visited the place a few times but the house had already been vacant a long time ago and there were no signs that Gerald had ever been there before!”
Zack had not been idle in the past six months, instead, favonovel.com had been scouring the continent in search of Gerald while remaining undercover.
Unfortunately, for the past six months, Gerald seemed to have completely vanished from the face of the earth.
“This is all your fault! If you were just a little stronger and more powerful back then, there wouldn’t have been the need for favonovel.com to leave our family! We don’t even know if Gerald is dead or alive now!” Yulia said anxiously.
Jessica was also crying as favonovel.com comforted favonovel.com mother.
“Gerald has lost everything, including his identity card. Not to mention the fact that that bastard, KortMoldell is searching all over for him! How do you expect favonovel.com to hide then? Who knows, maybe favonovel.com had fallen into his hands a long time ago?!”
The more favonovel.com spoke, the more upset Yulia became.
“No! If Gerald had really fallen into Kort’s hands, then that bastard would have issued a threat already. He had been coming up with all sorts of excuses in the past six months but they’re nothing but excuses, right? Gerald would have become his bargaining chip because favonovel.com knows that we would compromise and give in for his sake! In other words, it’s unlikely that Gerald has actually been captured yet,” said Jessica.
“Jessica is right. Don’t worry. I believe in our son. He will be fine. Queta, help your aunt back to favonovel.com room! Let favonovel.com get some rest,” Dylan said.
Tears were also streaming down Queta’s face. She nodded and said, “Yes, uncle!”
“Alright then. Resume your duties. I’d like to have some time alone!” Dylan said.
After they left, Dylan clasped his hands together and a worried expression surfaced on his face.
“Gerald, my child, where are you hiding? If I knew that this would happen, dad would rather go all out to fight against Kort than allow you to risk your life out there!”
Dylan’s original plan was to send the strongest masters from the Crawford family to guard Gerald as long as favonovel.com was out there. He would deny Kort any chance to strike out against his child.
That would not have been very difficult.
However, favonovel.com had overestimated the strength and power of the masters that favonovel.com had cultivated over the years, and favonovel.com had greatly underestimated the strength and power of Kort’s subordinates.
That night, six months ago in Merry City, if it weren’t because of his subordinates risking their lives to save Gerald, his child would not have made it out alive.
Dylan clenched both of his fists tightly.
Despite how much money favonovel.com had, favonovel.com still found himself powerless against such an elusive foe.
‘Why can’t there be a way out of this!? Why!?’
“Master!”
At this moment, Dylan’s butler, Fynn walked in.
“What’s wrong?”
“Jett from the Moldell family is interested in the Mountain Top Villa that the young master bought in Mayberry City. He asks how much would you be willing to sell it for.”
