Upon seeing how worried Nori was when she asked that question, Gerald couldn’t help but frown. To think that those from the Hulkeroic Union would be this quick to act. After a brief pause, Gerald then obeyed, “…Pack up. We’re heading up to the roof for now!” Upon hearing that, the others quickly did as they were instructed. Shortly after, all five of them then leaped onto the roof from the hotel’s window. The plan now was to lie down there and observe how the situation played out… It was barely even seconds after they had gotten onto the roof when Xuio and his men began barging into the hotel. After interrogating the hotel’s owner, Xuio learned that the ones they were hunting for were here. With that, Xuio instantly ordered the hotel owner to lead them to Gerald’s room. Upon arriving at the door, Xuio kicked it open with a loud ‘bang’ before instructing his men to rush in! However, they quickly realized that the room was deserted! Raising a brow, Xuio then glared at the h

The way things were going, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to easily walk out of this anyway. Before Gerald could say anything else, Meilani secretly winked at him before whispering, “Please teach him a lesson for me, Gerald! This guy just loves pestering me!” “Allow me to remind you that I’m not your hired thug!” “I’m sorry if I made it sound that way, but please, please help me out…! Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll be sure to take responsibility for it!” pleaded Meilani as she made puppy dog eyes. Hearing that, Gerald could only sigh as he agreed to her request. “Hey kid, you must’ve cheated to defeat Juno, right? You couldn’t possibly have taken her down any way else! With that in mind, I hope you’re ready to receive a good pummelling!” scoffed Quaan as he pointed confidently at Gerald. Before Gerald could even reply, Quaan began dashing toward him! However, Quaan was so pitifully slow that Gerald couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Compared to Meilani—w

“Indeed. While curing a person whose martial arts skills have been annihilated has been immensely difficult from the dawn of time, there is a way to get it done… Your son can definitely be healed if we manage to obtain an ancient secret medicine called the Guddegella! Once the young master ingests it, he’ll surely be able to regain the ability to use martial arts!” explained Quid. “And how do I obtain this medicine?” asked Quid eagerly. Of course, obtaining such precious medicine was never going to be easy. “Well, according to the legend, the Guddegella can be found at the crisscross of vast rivers and streams in the Treholm Highlands. With that said, it’s not easily obtained. As proof of that, the Guddegella has only been successfully acquired twice throughout history!” replied Lidorn. While that was certainly disheartening to hear, it was better than having no cure at all. At the very least there existed a chance for his son to function normally again… “Don’t you worry, Mr.

It was around then when Meilani returned to the scene together with Nori and the others. Upon realizing that Gerald’s master had killed off the three elderly assailants, Meilani was instantly shocked. To think that he was this powerful… Having such a strong master, it now made sense why Gerald was able to be as strong as he currently was! Quickly snapping out of it and returning her attention to Gerald, Meilani then rushed over to the injured youth while calling out, “Gerald…!” Call as she might, Gerald was already unconscious… With the three old men dealt with, Sumeru then sheathed his sword before heading over to Gerald’s side and inspecting his wounds. “…His inner breathing structure is in a mess… I need to treat him immediately!” declared Sumeru after checking for Gerald’s pulse through the youth’s wrist. Following that, he lifted Gerald in his arms and ran—under Meilani’s guidance—all the way to Gerald’s room. After placing the unconscious Gerald on his bed, Sumeru t

When Gerald awoke the next day, he was greeted by the sight of his master—who had his eyes closed—sitting by his bed. Attempting to get up, Gerald immediately realized that his entire body was aching… He couldn’t even sit up! At that moment, Sumeru suddenly opened his eyes. Realizing that Gerald had regained consciousness, he instantly smiled as he said, “Gerald! You’re awake!” “Master, I…” “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. You’re just suffering from some internal injuries at the moment. You’ll be as fit as a fiddle soon enough as long as you recuperate properly for the next few days!” replied Sumeru before Gerald was even able to finish his question. Hearing that, Gerald fell silent… Shortly after, knocking could be heard from his room’s door. Walking over to open it, Sumeru saw that it was Meilani who was here to bring Gerald his breakfast. After entering the room, Meilani placed Gerald’s breakfast on his table before asking in a concerned tone, “How do you feel, Gerald?
