As soon as he finished speaking, Gerald walked over to Bradley before patting him a few times.
“...All right, I've decided on all his vital energy points. Even if he had any inner strength left, he would not be able to use it for now. I'll hand it to you then,” said Gerald.
“T-Thank you, Mr Crawford! I'm really amazed by your incredible strength, prowess and technique!” flattered Rupert as he stood beside Gerald.
Watching a man approaching his fifties trying his best to flatter a much younger person would make anyone watching the scene tempted to laugh out loud. It certainly doesn't help that his attitude before and after he finds out how powerful Gerald has turned into one-eighty!
Upon hearing that, Gerald himself could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face.
What Gerald doesn't know is that after experiencing today's emotional roller coaster, Rupert has long given up on maintaining his dignity and image again. All he wanted to do now was study Gerald's good books, and what better way to do it than to keep flattering them!
Rupert's thought process was that if he had an erudite great master backing him up, then he would definitely not have to worry about champions, legends, or even other masters in the future!
'No matter how strong my future enemies are, they will never be able to become as strong as Master Crawford, a young man who can kill with just air!' Rupert thought to himself.
At that time, the three masters walking to Gerald — ignored the wounds on their bodies — before asking, “Master Crawford, is he really unable to use his strength after you decide on his vital energy point?”
The inner strength of a warrior comes from their elixir-of-life field. With that in mind, if Gerald had truly interfered with his main acupuncture point, then Bradley would no longer be able to access his inner strength in real terms!
“I only used a unique method to interrupt his body's meridians at some point. Therefore, his inner strength would constantly be scattered all over the place. If he cannot gather his inner strength, then he is almost helpless,” Gerald explained casually.
The three masters were dumbfounded once again. How incredible! This young man was truly a god on earth!
Even Fleur and Yenny were now blushing. No wonder he was not afraid when they first caught him. Even when he was sent to such a dangerous place, the two felt a little strange that there was not the slightest trace of fear on his face! Now that they knew how powerful he was, it made sense why he was not afraid in the slightest!
“However, now that I have resolved your problem, I think it is time for you to fulfill your promise to me, the ruler of the valley,” Gerald said as he clapped.
Now that his enemy had been taken care of and there was no more danger, Rupert began to feel a little unwilling to part with half of his assets…
“... Hm? Could it be that you are planning to retract your words.?” gerald asked with a frown as he glared at Rupert.
As Gerald's eyes met her, Rupert felt as if he had just been electrocuted. Shaking as he gritted his teeth in panic, Rupert then replied, “T-no! Of course not! Don't worry, Master Crawford, as I will definitely fulfill my promise!”
Knowing that Gerald is even fiercer than Bradley, Rupert fears his life will be at stake if he does not keep his word.
Even so, it did not stop him from trying to think of a countermeasure. As his mind kept racing, he suddenly heard Gerald say, “As long as you don't retract your words, you'll be fine. By the way, I'll be leaving soon, but before that, I want you to give me the potion I asked for as well as some oxyblood pellets. I'll use it soon!”
“B-soon, Mr. Crawford..!” rupert replied in a clearly distressed voice.
'What should I do here ...? I can't just hand over half of my assets to this youngster! He was not worthy of all that power! I should find a way to get rid of him .. But until then, I guess I can only continue to delay the process of handing over the valley.. I will never hand over half of the Valley of Kings to him…!'
As he was deep in thought, Rupert suddenly felt his eyebrows turn cold. It felt like something had just entered his brain?
Turning around quickly, he was just in time to see Gerald move his hand.
Touching his forehead, Rupert then asked, “...Master Crawford…? What are you doing…?"
"Oh not much. I just put poison in your brain! After all, with half of the Valley of Kings at stake, I have a feeling that you can try to delay something until you find a way to get rid of me! Of course, if that's not the case, it's better for you!” gerald replied with a smile.
“...I-it.. i... I will never..” Rupert stuttered, now completely dumbfounded.
