If that wasn't clear enough, it was the man who had just returned from collecting herbs for Gerald.
He had sensed danger before he even re-entered the slum. Knowing that he would not be able to arrive at the scene in time, he had taken divine thoughts and threw a knife to release Felton's own blade that would slice Sierra's neck.
Unfortunately, it was only when he reached the scene that he realized that Felton had dismembered Sierra's arm!
“Give him to me and keep his severed arm safe! He can still be saved!” the man ordered while quickly holding the unconscious young girl before running home. Since the distance between his home and Sierra was quite far, the man knew that he had no time to waste.
However, upon arriving at his home, both Gerald and Monica were shocked to see Sierra in such a state. However, they quickly regained their senses and began to help the sick girl.
Because Gerald knew the art of bone arranging and the middle-aged man had tremendous medical mastery, the two worked together seamlessly to reattach Sierra's arm. While they do, Elias explains the whole story leading up to the current state of Sierra.
"That b*star!" Gerald growled who had to stop moving his hands for a moment as they were now deeply trembling with hatred.
Apparently, the Gunters have been looking for him. Sierra had only reached his current state since Felton smelled the scent of the rare medicinal herb— that the middle-aged man had used on Gerald— all around him. He had suffered greatly just because of him ...
"You Gunters ... To think that you don't even want to let a child go!" added Gerald, his killing intent was clearly reflected in his eyes.
“First of all, watch your wounds. Second, don't stop moving your hands! Focus on saving Sierra!” the man said as he placed his hand over Gerald's shoulder to ease the anger within him. From how red Gerald's eyes were, the middle-aged man was afraid that if the pressure would suddenly cause his internal organs to be injured again.
While Gerald was aware of what the man was trying to do, he still could not calm himself down after knowing all this.
Thankfully, after quite a while, the two finally managed to pair his arm back into his body. It was really a good thing that they both had outstanding medical skills.
However, even though they managed to get his arm to function again, there was still a huge scar left behind. However, it is not impossible to remove. All they needed was some special herbs.
Whatever the case, it was late at night when they finally bandaged all of Sierra's wounds and placed him on the bed. Elias trusted the middle-aged man enough to leave him here, so he went straight home to take care of Sierra's next mother.
As Monica sat by Sierra's bedside to accompany him, Gerald himself sat outside to smoke a cigarette.
Although Sierra was just a naive child, he was a kind and intelligent child. Had the man not rushed back in time, Sierra's life could have ended well because of him. If that really happened, then Gerald would definitely not have the desire to stay alive anymore.
Clenching his fists so hard to the point where a small crack could be heard, Gerald muttered to himself, “Portal Judgement and Gunter.. I will not let you off easily because of this.!”.
"Still full of self-deprecation, Gerald?" the middle-aged man asked suddenly as he walked over and sat down beside Gerald.
"…indeed. By the way, I have to thank you, Sir. If it were not for your quick action, Sierra could.”.
Watching Gerald lower his head, the middle-aged man then took out his own cigarette before encouraging Gerald to light it up. As soon as Gerald did so, the man put it in his mouth before replying, “Enough. There is no point in staying in things like this. If you have time to blame yourself, why not use it to figure out how to reach the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm faster? By doing that, hopefully you can face the Gunter group and the Judgment Portal as they still desperately want to chase you!”
Before this, the man had taken the time to tell Gerald what the world was like. He also made sure to share what exactly the cryptic family was.
With that in mind, the man then continued, “I'll say now that unlike the other geniuses who have trained to reach your level, you have an incredible advantage compared to them, you have a tremendous advantage, both in terms of talent and physical. I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time, but the night I saved you, I saw you using a very good technique when fighting against Hogan. Now, I want to know something. Did someone teach them to you? Or...?" or…?"
The old man was honestly curious about this all week.
"I just learned it by chance" replied Gerald.
"I saw. It seems that you really have a good blessing. After all, now that you have gained more knowledge about all of this, it is time that you start practicing to further improve yourself. Otherwise, well... Your next meeting with the Gunters will be no different from the last one!” advising the man as Gerald nodded in response.
'Well, it's true that I don't really have a teacher ... After all, I have inherited the knowledge of all rare martial arts skills from this pendant ... Still, how strange it was that I learned all this through memory and experience.which had been implanted into my mind in great detail ...'
'Regardless of that, while I was unable to practice more of those skills before because I had not gained access to the Earth Spirit Realm in the past, things were different now.'
Now, he finally had sufficient strength as well as the right to train all those skills in his mind.
"I understand. I must become stronger to face my trials at this time! While I used to do a lot of useless things in the past, a lot of things have changed. With that in mind, I agree that I need to make full use of all my great resources!”
