Chapter 1706
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1706
“You’re right. While curing a person who has lost their martial arts skills has been extremely difficult since the dawn of time, there is a way to do it…
If we can obtain an ancient secret medicine known as the Guddegella, your son will undoubtedly be healed! Quid explained, “Once the young master ingests it, he’ll undoubtedly be able to regain his ability to use martial arts!”
Quid inquired eagerly, “And how do I obtain this medicine?”
Obtaining such valuable medicine was never going to be simple.
“Well, according to legend, the Guddegella can be found in the Treholm Highlands, where vast rivers and streams crisscross.
That said, it’s not easy to come by. As proof, the Guddegella has only ever been successfully acquired twice in history!” Lidorn replied.
While hearing that was disheartening, it was preferable to having no cure at all. At the very least, his son had a chance to function normally once more…
“Don’t be concerned, Mr. Quarles! Quid declared, “I’ll get the Guddegella one way or another!” as he confidently looked at Lidorn.
“All right, then. In that vein, I’m curious if the person who injured Young Master Wroe is still in Dragoblood City…
We might as well seek vengeance on your son since we’re already here!” Lidorn stated.
Quid had lavished them with gifts, so the least they could do was seek vengeance on his son’s behalf.
Quid was obviously overjoyed when he heard that. Gerald and his posse were in for a bad time now that these three had entered the picture!
Despite this, Quid felt compelled to ask, “…Are you sure, Mr. Quarles?” You yourself stated that the kid was extremely powerful!”
Lidorn responded with a confident laugh and said, “Worry not.” With our combined abilities, the three of us will undoubtedly be able to defeat him!
Now, without further ado, we’ll be off to seek vengeance on Young Master Wroe’s behalf! Until we cross paths again!”
All three of the elderly men had already leaped into the shadows, their destination the Wroe family’s residence, before Quid could even respond…
Meanwhile, Gerald and Meilani were relaxing in the Wroe family’s back garden. Meilani herself seemed ecstatic to be able to sit and talk with Gerald in this manner.
After all, she’d been developing feelings for him since he had rescued her…
Regardless, Gerald and his companions had been safe at the Zorn family’s home the entire time, as Meilani’s family was quite powerful and influential in Dragonblood City.
Nobody dared to act rashly toward them because they were afraid of offending the Zorns.
Gerald’s keen senses suddenly detected a sword being thrown toward them as Meilani continued to talk happily!
“Be careful!” Gerald exclaimed as he drew Meilani closer to him, allowing both of them to avoid the incoming sword!
Both of them became tense as they stared at the sword that had become lodged in the ground.
While scanning the area, Gerald and Meilani noticed three people dressed in grey robes leap over the fence and land right in front of them.
“I’m finishing you off today, kid!” Lidorn exclaimed, glaring at Gerald.
“Who are you, exactly?” I don’t recall ever holding a grudge against you! Gerald retorted, frowning, “What’s your purpose in killing me?”
“Cut the nonsense and just give up your life already!” scoffed Lidorn, unwilling to reveal his true identity…
Chapter 1707

“Go find a safe haven, Meilani!” Gerald said, “I’ll deal with them!”
Meilani simply nodded before running away, knowing that staying here would only cause Gerald more trouble because she didn’t know any martial arts. At the very least, she could seek assistance…
Gerald returned his gaze to the three elderly men once he was certain she had left… And with that, their fight began!
It became increasingly difficult for Gerald to deal with an onslaught of attacks from three people who had already entered the Avatar Realm. With that in mind, Gerald could only bide his time and look for openings…
However, three on one eventually became too much for him, and Lidorn was able to land a blow on Gerald!
Gerald was flung backwards as blood spurted from his mouth upon impact! Gerald was well aware that Lidorn’s strike had undoubtedly caused massive damage to his inner breathing shield as he landed hard on the ground.
“To think you’ve managed to enter the Avatar Realm at your age, kid!” Lidorn sneered, staring at Gerald’s pitiful state.
While you are a true martial arts master, you have unintentionally offended someone who should not have been offended! With that said, it’s a shame, but your life is coming to an end today!”
When Lidorn said that, he meant it.
After all, few people Gerald’s age were able to enter the Avatar Realm. Those who made it to this realm were usually elders who had put in a lot of effort over a long period of time…
What a shame this martial arts master had to pass away…
Lidorn shook off the thought and raised his sword, aiming it at Gerald…
Gerald knew he was doomed the moment he saw that. He simply closed his eyes tight and waited for death.
Gerald suddenly remembered the silk bag Sumeru had given him just seconds before the sword pierced his heart. With that, he snatched up the silk bag and tore it open!
The bag immediately released a golden light that lit up the entire back garden after Gerald did that! Lidorn and the other two elders had to back away a little because they couldn’t see anything because it was so blinding.
The next thing anyone knew, a figure was leaping from the roof… and landing in the middle of the two parties
Lidorn was greeted by a swift force palm from the figure before he could even react!
Gerald was overjoyed as he watched Lidorn fly backward and realised the person in front of him was none other than Sumeru!
Gerald yelled out in a shaky voice, “M-master…!” before blacking out.
Sumeru was furious when he saw his beloved student in such a terrible state!
Lidorn leapt back to his original position, glaring at Sumeru and scoffing, “I’m assuming you’re that kid’s master!” We’ll just get rid of you first, since you’ve decided to come in!”
With that said, the three of them charged straight for Sumeru!
Sumeru, on the other hand, remained steadfast in his position. Instead, he stood motionless as he drew his sword from its sheath…
He drew the rest of his blade out in the blink of an eye, his face expressionless. Sumeru’s slash was so quick that Lidorn and his men were caught off guard…
Until blood began to trickle down their necks.
As they stared at Sumeru, their eyes widened, and they all clutched their necks before collapsing lifelessly to the ground…
None of them could have predicted Sumeru’s strength as they lay in the slowly growing puddle of blood…! To think it had only taken him a fraction of a second to finish them off!
Sumeru simply growled at the three dead bodies. They had no chance against him…
Chapter 1708
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1708
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 then yelled, “All of you, get out! Don’t bother me as I cure his wounds!”
Though Meilani wanted to stay, in the end, she quickly gave up trying to protest.
As Meilani closed the door behind her and leaned against it—planning to wait there till Gerald’s master was done curing him—, she watched as her father rushed toward her.
“What on earth happened, Meilani?” asked Yeurquin Zorn in an anxious tone.
“Three powerful people suddenly attacked us, declaring that they wanted to kill Gerald!
While he’s terribly injured, he’s thankfully still alive!” explained Meilani while looking at her father.
“What? How preposterous! To think that someone would dare hurt our family’s benefactor, and within our residence no less! I must get to the bottom of this!” growled Yeurquin.
While he was greatly angered, the priority now was still to ensure that Gerald’s injuries were successfully cured.
Meilani was even more anxious about that than he was, and she truly hoped that Gerald would turn out fine in the end…
“…Speaking of which, where is Gerald? And what’s his condition?” asked Yeurquin as he looked at his daughter.
“…Well… Gerald’s master is currently treating his injuries…” mumbled Meilani before dragging her father a little further from the door.
Raising a slight brow, Yeurquin couldn’t help but ask, “…What’s wrong, Meilani? Why so secretive?”
“W-well, you see, Gerald’s master is extremely powerful! From how clean the cuts were on the corpses, it’s evident that he killed all three of those mighty assailants with a single slash!” whispered Meilani as she looked at her father in her bewilderment.
“…And? Is that why you’re being so secretive? My child, you, of all people, should know how strong Gerald is. With that in mind, his master must definitely be stronger than him!” replied Yeurquin in a calm tone.
Yeurquin had caught a glimpse of Sumeru earlier—as the dean was rushing to bring Gerald to his room —, and even from that moment, he could already tell that Sumeru was an extraordinary person.
Now that he realized that Sumeru was Gerald’s master, Yeurquin was able to confirm that assumption. To him, Sumeru was the kind of person who wouldn’t take action if others could do so. After all, a single move from Sumeru would certainly amaze the world…
His train of thought was cut short when he heard Meilani ask, “Say, do you think Gerald’s master would take me as his disciple as well, dad…?”
Raising a brow, Yeurquin then retorted, “As if he’d do that, Meilani! You can’t just ask him to be your master! Besides, he already has Gerald as his disciple. What makes you so sure he’ll even want another?”
Hearing that, Meilani instantly zipped her mouth. While she already knew that being Sumeru’s disciple was near-impossible, a girl could dream…
At that moment, both of them heard a door creaking open… Turning to face the sound, they watched as Sumeru walked out from Gerald’s room…
Chapter 1709
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1709
When Yeurquin and Meilani saw this, they dashed over to him.
“Master, how is Gerald doing?” In a worried tone, Yeurquin inquired.
“For the time being, he’s fine, but he’ll need to rest properly for the next few days.
Take care of him until then. While I’d like to stay, I have to leave right now to take care of some business,” Sumeru replied before leaping off and disappearing almost instantly.
Despite the fact that Sumeru had not specified what he needed to do, Yeurquin and his daughter had a feeling he was planning to avenge Gerald.
Whatever the case was, they both dashed into Gerald’s room to see how he was doing.
They couldn’t help but be concerned as they sat by his bed, seeing how pale and feeble he had become. He had, after all, suffered terrible internal injuries.
Gerald’s internal breathing shield had been successfully repaired by Sumeru, and the only minor drawback to this incident was that he needed a few days to fully recover…
Quid could be seen sitting nervously in the Wroe family’s home a short time later, waiting for the three elders to return.
Soon after, one of the family’s butlers burst in, nervously exclaiming, “T-this is bad, master!” “There’s a serious problem!”
“Can you tell me what it is?” Quid retorted, “Calm down!” as he glared at the agitated butler.
“M-master… Mr. Quarles and the other two elders… they… they’re dead…!” stuttered the quivering butler.
Quid was stunned. “What?!?” he exclaimed.
The three elderly gentlemen were incredibly powerful! How had Gerald been able to take them on…?!
Quid, who was still in shock, was prompted to ask, “…Are you really sure of that?”
“Master, I swear on my life! I was able to witness all three of them being decapitated in a single slash because you told me to keep an eye on their progress!” exclaimed the terrified butler, recalling what he had seen earlier.
Quid’s terror grew stronger as soon as he heard that. If the murderer was on Gerald’s side, he’d soon discover that Quid was the mastermind behind everything!
When an explosive sound was heard, his train of thought was cut short!
Quid and his butler could only stare wide-eyed at the figure that had just appeared before them, narrowly avoiding being squashed by a flying door…
Quid jolted awake and immediately attempted to summon his guards… only to discover that he was deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafen
Both Quid and the butler quickly realised that a stream of blood was already flowing down their necks after placing their hands on their necks…
And then the two men were dead, flopped onto an encroaching puddle of their own blood.
The figure took another leap before disappearing without a trace now that both of them had been dealt with…
When the other Wroes arrived on the scene, they were met with the sight of Quid and the butler’s bodies lying in a pool of their own blood…
Naturally, this caused a great deal of consternation among the Wroe family members, and the Wroe family’s lady even blacked out.
It was a night of chaos and great confusion for the Wroes…
Chapter 1710

When Gerald awoke the next day, he was greeted by his master, who sat by his bed with his eyes closed.
Gerald realised his entire body was aching as he attempted to stand… He wasn’t even able to sit up!
Sumeru opened his eyes at that precise moment. When he realised Gerald had regained consciousness, he smiled and said, “Gerald!” You’ve woken up!”
“Master, I…”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Right now, you’re just dealing with some internal injuries. Sumeru replied before Gerald could even finish his question, “You’ll be fit as a fiddle in no time if you recover properly for the next few days!”
Gerald fell silent when he heard that…
Knocking could be heard from his room’s door shortly after.
Sumeru walked over to open it and saw that it was Meilani who had come to deliver Gerald’s breakfast.
Meilani entered the room and placed Gerald’s breakfast on his table before asking, “How do you feel, Gerald?” in a concerned tone. Is there anything bothering you…?”
Gerald responded by smiling subtly and shaking his head before weakly replying, “I’m fine… I just need to rest for a little while…”
Sumeru exited the room after noticing Meilani would be caring for Gerald.
Meilani took advantage of the opportunity to whisper, “Say, Gerald, I have some good news!” Yesterday, the Wroe family’s master was assassinated in his own home!”
Gerald appeared stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected such a thing to happen out of the blue.
“…Also, you may not know this, but your master went somewhere last night to, ‘attend to something,’ as he said…” Meilani added after a brief pause.
Gerald raised a brow in thought as he considered Meilani’s obvious hint before responding, “You… think my master did it…?”
“If you need any more proof, I went over to Quid’s body today… Meilani explained, “The gash in his neck was similar to the ones on the three elders your master killed yesterday!”
When Gerald heard this, he thought to himself, “If what she’s saying is true, then I guess master has already avenged me…”
“…Well, in any case, Gerald, there’s no need to be concerned. After all, the Wroes don’t appear to be aware that your master is to blame. Furthermore, since the Wroes attacked you yesterday, their family is unlikely to want to make this event public,” Meilani explained.
The Wroes were definitely going to play it safe after suffering two major losses for attempting to outwit their enemy…
Nori and the rest of Gerald’s entourage followed suit not long after.
“How are you feeling, Gerald…?” the concerned Nori couldn’t help but ask as she sat at the foot of his bed.
Nori had been terrified half to death the day before after seeing how bad Gerald’s condition was, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to recover.
“Don’t worry, I’m doing a lot better now!” Gerald replied with a smile.
“That’s fantastic news, Mr. Crawford! Rest up for a few days so we can resume our journey when you’re fully recovered!” Ray stated.
They would not be able to continue their journey at their current rate if he remained in this condition. With that in mind, the best course of action for the time being was to wait for Gerald to improve.
Gerald went silent for a moment after nodding, before turning to face his party and asking, “Speaking of which, where did master go?”
“Oh, the dean has already departed!” He told us to take good care of you and to tell you that he had gotten everything sorted out for you. Ray explained, “With the Wroe family currently in disarray, it won’t be long before they ruin themselves!”
Gerald was able to relax after hearing that. Despite the good news, he had a nagging feeling in his stomach…
The fact that he was still badly beaten the day before indicated that he wasn’t powerful enough…
