The second favonovel.com was finished speaking, Gerald walked over to Bradley before patting his body a few times.
“…Alright, I’ve severed all of his vital energy points. Even if favonovel.com has any inner strength left, favonovel.com won’t be able to use it for the time being. I’ll be leaving favonovel.com to you then,” said Gerald.
“T-Thank you, Master Crawford! I truly am in awe of your extraordinary strength, greatness, and techniques!” flattered Rupert as favonovel.com stood beside Gerald.
Watching as the man nearing his fifties tried his best to flatter a much younger person would make anyone watching the scene tempted to laugh out loud. It certainly didn’t help that his attitude before and after favonovel.com found out how strong Gerald was had taken a complete one-eighty!
Upon hearing that, Gerald himself could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face.
What Gerald didn’t know was that after experiencing a roller coaster of emotions today, Rupert had long given up on maintaining his dignity and image anymore. All favonovel.com wanted to do now was to get into Gerald’s good books, and what better way to do that than to keep flattering him!
Rupert’s thought process was that if favonovel.com had such a learned great master backing favonovel.com up, then favonovel.com surely wouldn’t have to worry about any other champions, legends, or even masters in the future!
‘No matter how strong my future enemies are, they’d never come close to even being as powerful as Master Crawford, the youth who can kill with just air!’ Rupert thought to himself.
At that moment, the three masters walked over to Gerald—disregarding the injuries on their bodies—before asking, “Master Crawford, will favonovel.com truly be unable to use his strength after you severed his vital energy points?”
A warrior’s inner strength stemmed from their elixir-of-life field. With that in mind, if Gerald truly had interrupted his main acupuncture points, then Bradley would no longer be able to access his inner strength for real!
“I simply used a unique method of interrupting his body’s meridians at several points. Due to that, his inner strength will constantly be scattered all over the place. If favonovel.com can’t collect his inner strength, then he’s pretty much rendered powerless,” explained Gerald casually.
The three masters were dumbfounded once again. How utterly amazing! This youth truly was a god on earth!
Even Fleur and Yenny were now blushing. No wonder favonovel.com hadn’t been afraid when they first caught him. Even when favonovel.com was sent to such a dangerous place, both of them had found it slightly odd that there wasn’t a trace of fear on his face! Now that they knew how powerful favonovel.com was, it made sense why favonovel.com hadn’t been frightened in the least!
“Regardless, now that I’ve solved your issue, I think it’s high time you fulfilled your promise to me, master of the valley,” said Gerald as favonovel.com clapped his hands.
“…Promise?” replied Rupert as favonovel.com placed his hand over his head as though favonovel.com had just regained his senses.
Now that his enemies had been taken care of and there was no more danger, Rupert was starting to feel slightly unwilling to part with half of his assets…
“…Hmm? Could you perhaps be planning on going back on your word…?” asked Gerald with a frown as favonovel.com glared at Rupert.
The moment Gerald’s eyes met his, Rupert felt as though favonovel.com had just been electrocuted. Trembling as favonovel.com gritted his teeth in panic, Rupert then replied, “N-no! Of course, not! Worry not, Master Crawford, for I’ll definitely fulfill my promise!”
Knowing that Gerald was even more ferocious than Bradley, Rupert was afraid that his life would be on the line if favonovel.com didn’t keep his word.
Even so, that didn’t stop favonovel.com from trying to think up countermeasures. As his mind continued racing, favonovel.com suddenly heard Gerald say, “As long as you don’t go back on your word, you’ll be fine. Speaking of which, I’ll soon be taking my leave first, but before that, I need you to get me the herbs that I asked for as well as a few oxyblood pellets. I’ll be using them soon!”
“R-right away, Master Crawford…!” replied Rupert in a clearly depressed voice.
‘What on earth should I even do here…? I can’t just hand over half of my assets to this young kid! He’s not worthy of all that power! I’ll have to find a way to get rid of him… But until then, I guess I can only continue delaying the process of handing the valley over… I’ll never hand half of King Valley to him…!’
Just as favonovel.com was deep in thought, Rupert suddenly felt his brows going cold. It felt as if something had… just entered his brain?
Turning around quickly, favonovel.com was just in time to see Gerald moving his hand away.
Touching his forehead, Rupert then asked, “…Master Crawford…? What were you doing…?”
“Oh, nothing much. I simply inserted poison into your brain! After all, with half of the King Valley being put on the line, I have a feeling that you may try to delay things till you find a way to get rid of me! Of course, if that’s not the case, all the better for you!” replied Gerald with a smile.
“…T-that… I… I would never…” stuttered Rupert, now completely dumbfounded.
