Finnley's face looked brighter compared to when Queta took care of him before.
He brought a bag of herbs.
"I just arrived!" answer Gerald.
“Why, grandson? Things are going well, aren't they? ” Finnley asked with a laugh.
"You can say it again!" Gerald replied, “I have nowhere else to go now, so I guess I will count on you from now on!”
"Ha ha ha! I've asked Maria to wait for you for a few days now! Judging from your appearance, you must have suffered a lot in the past few days. Come on, let's go. Maria had prepared a table full of dishes. He has prepared it for you! Come in and have a little drink with your grandfather! ”
Finnley said as he patted Gerald on the shoulder.
“So, it turns out that the Moldell family has forced you into a dead end. What's wrong with the Crawford family? Don't they have a lot of money? Did their ball fall when facing the Moldell family?”
The two men started talking about wine and food.
Finnley was smoking as she spoke leisurely.
"Uncle Quick, how long have you known about Moldells?"
The more Gerald interacts with Finnley, the more mysterious the man appears before him.
No doubt, he knows a lot.
Finnley was very straightforward this time and he slightly nodded.
“I know a little bit about them, but as you young boys are saying right now, I don't want to bother knowing all the details about this second-rate noob!”
“Second level?”
Gerald's surprised.
“They are a family made exclusively by second-class people. They even referred to themselves as a hidden clan? Hmph! Clan my ass! Fuck them worthy enough to be considered a hidden clan, judging by how badly they handle the matter.”
Finnley shook his head without a sound.
“I've seen how they operate. The Crawford family had a very tight defense and a long line of outstanding young masters. That is why I was surprised to learn that Kort Moldell was able to crush the resistance completely while most remained unopposed with just a handful of his men! ”
“OK, okay, I get your point. Are the masters you mentioned similar to brothers, Drake and Tyson? Ha ha! Can Drake and Tyson even be considered masters? You ask them that and pay close attention to their reaction!”
Finnley said as he waved his hand helplessly.
Gerald remained silent.
After a moment of consideration, Gerald raised his head and asked, "Uncle Quick, do you know about the Sun League?"
Finnley was obviously surprised to hear Gerald mention the name.
So, Gerald went on to explain the ins and outs of the situation to Finnley again.
“I know a little about them. Look, it's not that I underestimated you, or underestimated the Crawford or Moldell family, but something tells me that you have to dispel these ideas and thoughts for now!”
"Why?" ask Gerald.
“At this point in time, the less you know, the better for you. Grandchild, did you practice the five movements and breathing techniques I taught you before?
Finnley asked with a smile on his face.
“Of course!”
Finnley nodded and said, "Then, what are your plans for the future?"
Gerald sighed as he said, “I have no money now and Kort's men are looking for me everywhere. There is nowhere I can go so I seek refuge in your place now! ”
"Ha ha ha! You did the right thing, granddaughter! To be honest, even if you don't come looking for me, I'll come looking for you sooner or later. This is our fate. So, you should stay with me from now on. Sooner or later, you will understand why I said that Moldells are only second-rate people! ”
Finnley patted Gerald on the head.
"Quick Uncle, I have another question!"
"Deliver!"
“Why did you find me in the first place back then? That's impossible because you like it, right?”
Gerald always wanted to ask him this question.
“As I said, don't ask me such a question for now. When the time is right, I'll tell you everything! For now, you can stay at my place quietly and learn from me then!”
"study? What to learn?” ask Gerald.
“Learn to be skilled! My stupid grandson! Don't you know the reason why you ended up in this country? If you had the appropriate skills, would you let Kort chase you like a dog? I already reminded you of this matter when I left back then!
Finnley answered.
Exactly right. When Finnley left, he told Gerald that money would not solve everything. He should be able in other aspects as well.
However, Gerald did not have time to pick up these "other" skills. He thinks it's not necessary.
Only when Kort hunts her down does he realize that other than money, he has no important thing that shaped his identity in the past ...
