After all, Gerald did not follow Leo because rushing back to King Valley was his priority.
As for the cave where he sent Leo, it was a fairly hidden cave. Gerald had previously found her while returning to the valley alone, and because he had no idea how far Fairleigh would go to recapture Leo, Gerald thought that the cave was Leo's best way to avoid detection.
Of course, Gerald knows that Leo is no longer afraid of stun guns, and while Gerald is not too concerned with the Fairleigh family life, Gerald, if Leo starts killing them—and causes massive bloodshed—then the target on Gerald's back will definitely grow bigger.
Simply put, Gerald did not want to attract the attention of the Gunters and those from the Portal of Judgment. With that in mind, it was clearly better for Leo to stay hidden for now.
After all, he had to rush back to the Valley of Kings to obtain three potions to cure Sierra.
Just as he arrived at the familiar courtyard, Gerald saw a middle-aged— man who looked to be in his forties—and two of his subordinates standing in front of Myles.
“Huh! Who do you think you are, Myles? To let some random people into the valley ... Hell, you even went ahead and prepared a room for him! taunt the man.
Despite the man's arrogance, Myles respectfully replied, “You may not be aware of this, Servant Sam, but that man is me and the master disciple of the valley benefactor! He came to ask for medicine, which is why I allowed him to stay for a while!”
"…What? Not only did he come to ask for medicine, but he even used his master's name? Why haven't I heard the master speak about this before? After all, the Valley of Kings was not a place for ordinary people to enter it inevitably! Now stop this nonsense and empty the room for me! This is reserved for Mr and Madam Cate's son! Also, I remind you that you are no longer the servant of this place, Myles. You are just a handyman in the Valley of Kings now! Whatever the case may be, you better focus on serving their son and carrying out your duties properly, otherwise, you will have to answer to me! ” taunts Sam while waving his hand.
While Myles had no idea who Mr and Mrs Cates' son was, he immediately got the answer.
When one of the guards took one step to the side, it showed a beautiful looking box— is usually made for baby—and inside, there is a puppy! So.. 'Sons' Mr and Madam Cates are nothing more than a dog…?!
Anger flashed across Myle's face.
He was someone who would live and die for the sake of the Valley of Kings and also the ruler of the valley. Despite that, they now not only ordered him to stay with a dog, but he also had to serve him?! Anyone who lives on this planet will be saddened by it!
Even so, Myles could only clench his fists, not daring to say a word.
Realizing that, Myles then forced himself to smile before saying, “...Ah, Mr Crawford! Where Have You Been? I was just about to go looking for you!”
Although Gerald had clearly seen everything that had just happened, he simply pretended not to see it and replied, "I'm just taking a walk to take a look."
Clearing his throat, Myles then shook his head before saying, “! Speaking of, Mr. Crawford, I. There's something serious I have to deal with that unfortunately I can't share the details! With that in mind, I'm sorry to say that I can't help you this time! In the end, I was just a low-ranking person in King Valley and no one took me seriously, although I'm sure you've seen what happened before.”.
Hearing that, Gerald knew that there was no point in asking about medicinal plants right now. After all, if even being here was a problem, what else would need to be done to obtain that rare herb?
At that time, Sam—who momentarily walked away when Gerald came early—back with the bag in hand. That's Gerald's luggage.
The contents of the luggage bag itself were nothing special, at least to Gerald. Only a few books that the man ordered Gerald to hand over to the ruler of the valley. As far as Gerald was concerned, the books kept records of important information about traditional medicine.
Of course, other than getting herbs, it was clear that the man's goal was to further expand his tissues with new powers.
Whatever the case, Sam snorted loudly, “What is this, what is this? Whose broken bag is this?”
"That's mine," Gerald replied as he looked at the mustache steward.
Hearing Gerald's reply, Sam then threw the bag that landed right at Gerald's feet before shouting, “Oh, I realize! Now take that and go!”
Angry, Myles who was now red-faced then replied, “What does this mean, Sam?! I've already told you that Mr Crawford is here on my behalf and is a benefactor sir! Treating Tn. Crawford is like this... Don't you care a little bit about me? Let me remind you that had I not recommended you back then, you would not have been promoted to steward today! You must know what you have done for me to overreact like this! Don't cross the line!”
“I don't understand a single word of what you just said, Myles! Not a word!” furious Sam, his expression was now dark as he took a few steps forward before stepping on Gerald's bag!
Watching Sam proceed to apply extra force to his feet, only to rub them, Myles' breath instantly began to pant.
