“The master of the valley is coming!” shouted one of the King Valley’s bodyguards excitedly. Hearing that, the other guards—who had been facing off with those from the Fairleigh family—felt like a massive weight had just been lifted off their chests. Over sixty bodyguards from the King Valley had been groaning and howling in pain as they laid on the ground. Upon realizing that Rupert was coming, however, all of them instantly began supporting each other up—albeit all of them being a little wobbly—before staggering over to hide behind Rupert’s back. Rupert himself was frowning deeply, his fists clenched tightly as he shouted, “Hershel! Bradley!” Hershel was the master of Fairleigh Valley, and Bradley was Hershel’s younger brother. While the present-day King Valley specialized in the art of pill-making and the Fairleighs were known for their expertise in martial arts, there was once a time when those from the Fairleigh Valley also specialized in pill-making. After all, the founde

“How unexpected for a greenhorn like you to have achieved such immense inner strength!” said one of the masters. All three of them had looks of disbelief and bitter smiles on their faces as they stared at Seamus whose entire body seemed to be steaming with excess heat. Though Seamus was now panting slightly, it was obvious that he had persevered well in his fight. Knowing that, he then cockily said, “I hope you now understand what my father and second uncle had meant! Just surrender already so that lives can be spared! Let this be a warning that if I have to continue fighting, I won’t be holding back anymore! Understand that our visit today is solely aimed at Rupert! If you don’t wish to die, then step aside!” Hearing that, all three of the masters could only sigh. Barely any fighting spirit left in them, they were well aware that if they were unable to take down Seamus even after combining all three of their efforts, then they could certainly forget about ever being Bradley’s oppo

“…W-what…?!” shouted Bradly, an utterly horrified and incredulous expression on his face as he stared wide-eyed at Gerald. Bradley was already someone who possessed immense strength. With that in mind, how could an ordinary person like Gerald—who looked no older than Seamus—actually cause him to flinch from attacking? Had he not witnessed Gerald’s sudden attack just seconds ago, he wouldn’t have believed how capable the youth truly was! But this was illogical, wasn’t it? As Bradley—in his shock and horror—continued trying to make sense of the situation, Hershel could simply frown as he turned to look at his younger brother. Rupert, Fleur, and the others from King Valley, on the other end, were now feeling like they had finally been graced with hope after being pushed into such a desperate situation earlier. To think that he had such ungodly strength… Thinking back, since none of them had been able to discern how powerful he truly was earlier, it was lucky that they didn’t off

“…B-by god… Is he… Is he a human or a god…?” Though Myles’s mouth had been hanging open this entire time, he couldn’t care less about how he looked as he trembled while muttering that question. Even the three masters were utterly stunned. After all, while Bradley was more powerful, faster, and more skillful compared to regular people, his capabilities were still—at the very least—predictable and understandable. Gerald, on the other hand, was a completely different story. After all, he had just split the earth and even a large boulder clear in half just by waving his hand in the air! Nobody could’ve predicted that! Several others were having similar thoughts as well. Regardless, following a long silence, one of the three masters—after staring at the marks left on the ground this entire time—murmured, “…That wasn’t a celestial technique… Instead, it was a strange martial art… It… It was the airbending skill…! Adding that to the fact that that boy has already conquered the Nebula

“Mr. Crawford, this is the oxyblood pellet and herb that you asked for!”Not long after that, one of the servants brought the things over respectfully.Gerald checked everything carefully.The fact that Rupert had been poisoned by Gerald was not just to scare him.Gerald had indeed poisoned Rupert with the secret poison.Although Rupert was a very greedy person and afraid of dying, besides half of the Cherish Herbs in King Valley, he was still pretty useful to Gerald to a certain extent.Gerald would not be afraid that Rupert would go back on his words in the future as long as he could threaten him with the secret poison.After leaving King Valley, Gerald did not return to his uncle’s home immediately.Instead, as per his agreement with Leo, he arrived at the cave that Leo was hiding in.Gerald could not help but feel a little dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him upon arrival at the cave.Leo had used a pile of weeds to block the entrance of the cave and was simp
