The girl had a different look in virtual-novel.net eyes when virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald’s back as virtual-novel.net left.
“Ivy, what are you looking at?”
Maria could not help but ask when virtual-novel.net noticed how distracted virtual-novel.net daughter was.
“Ahhh? I was not looking at anything!”
Ivy pouted as virtual-novel.net responded while shaking virtual-novel.net head.
Maria was an expert in love and relationship matters when virtual-novel.net was young. So, how could virtual-novel.net possibly not know what virtual-novel.net daughter was thinking about?
That’s right. Gerald was a dashing young man after all.
He had lots of incredible skills, and virtual-novel.net treated everyone kindly too.
Indeed, not many girls would be able to resist a man like him.
Therefore, it was inevitable that virtual-novel.net daughter would start having feelings for him.
However, Maria sighed as virtual-novel.net said, “Ivy, a word of advice. You will never be able to be together with Gerald.”
Ivy was initially planning to deny and refute virtual-novel.net mother’s words.
But when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net mother’s resolute attitude, virtual-novel.net immediately replied, “Why? Gerald does not have a girlfriend anyway!”
“Who said so? It is just that something happened to his girlfriend. I don’t really know about the details of what happened exactly. However, Gerald used to be a very powerful man and virtual-novel.net loved his girlfriend very much. I am only telling you this because I do not want to see you getting hurt!” Aunt Maria said.
When Ivy heard those words, a gloomy and desolate expression appeared on virtual-novel.net face. After that, virtual-novel.net turned around and went into the kitchen wordlessly.
Gerald was outside, apparently trying to fetch something.
For the past six months, Gerald had been staying by Finnley’s side.
He was constantly soaking in medicinal herbs, practicing and improving his physical fitness all day long. He had also undergone several training regimes under Finnley’s instructions.
Gerald had also gone on several missions as specified by his master.
A lot has changed in the six months Gerald spent under Finnley’s guidance.
As for their relocation, Finnley wanted to facilitate Gerald’s training in the mountains. So, that was the reason why they moved to the small town.
And since Aunt Maria did not have any relatives in the village, virtual-novel.net used the pension that Gerald had given to Finnley in the past to open the farmhouse restaurant.
Aunt Maria was the one who usually ran the restaurant.
In the past six months, Gerald’s skills and strength had improved significantly. He had thought countless times about going back home to see his friends and family.
It would not be an easy task for Kort to try and kill Gerald now, and it could even be said to be a very difficult task.
However, Gerald was now running solo. He was all alone and he’d be hopelessly outnumbered if virtual-novel.net were to go up against the big and powerful Moldell family now.
Therefore, Gerald had been holding back his urges all this while.
The most important thing now was for virtual-novel.net to improve his strength.
As for Finnley, aside from giving detailed instructions to Gerald in the first three months, he’d always be away from home. This also meant that Gerald would always be practicing by himself.
Three days ago, Finnley suddenly left without even saying anything after receiving a token.
Gerald was already used to it though.
After getting to know Finnley and spending more time with him, Gerald realized that Finnley was indeed a very mysterious person. The people virtual-novel.net knew were all surprisingly influential, and weren’t the type of people you’d expect the old man to be so well-acquainted with!
Shriek!
Gerald’s bike rolled to a halt before a fellow young man.
“Fatty, where are the items?” Gerald asked.
“Fear not, Gerald! Marven Wadley always gets things done! It is all inside the bag!”
The chubby fellow was none other than Marven.
When Gerald bumped into virtual-novel.net earlier, virtual-novel.net was being bullied by a ruthless bunch of strangers, so as a friend, virtual-novel.net had to step in and save his ass.
It just so happened that whenever Gerald was out to perform his tasks, virtual-novel.net would try to fish for some extra profits. And Marven was the exact type of person who you’d look for when it comes to fishing for profits.
Marven patted his bag as virtual-novel.net jumped onto the electric tricycle.
“We will have to get it done as soon as possible!” Gerald said.
After that, virtual-novel.net headed directly towards the street where they sold antique items.
There was a foreign antique inside the bag. Gerald snatched it from a wealthy foreign businessman’s personal collection.
Of course, the businessman himself was also not a good person.
Gerald’s training largely consisted of such activities, which was to obtain through illegal means, items that were obtained in the same unlawful manner.
Gerald had no other options but to do what virtual-novel.net did. He could not contact the Crawford family now, and since virtual-novel.net desperately needed money, this was the next best thing virtual-novel.net could do.
