Chapter 935
“…Hold on, there’s a cave over there! Why don’t we try hiding there, boss? As we’ve said, we’re not leaving you here to die alone!” said another man as the others nodded in unison. Knowing full well that the others weren’t going to listen to him, he simply allowed them to carry his wounded body over to the cave. “…Huh? Is it just me, or does it seem like someone lives here…?” said one of the men in surprise when he saw the remains of a campfire. “It’s not just you… Regardless, let’s not worry about that first. We should focus on bandaging boss’s wounds first.” “Honestly, it’d be better for him to bleed a little more under these circumstances. He’ll die even faster if you bandage his wounds now,” said a voice out of the blue. Shocked to hear that comment, everyone immediately raised their guns as they aimed at the young man who had just spoken. Still standing at the cave’s entrance, Gerald simply stared directly at the black muzzles of the guns before casually sitting down b

“Hmm? A backpacker? Brat, if you know what’s good for you, leave this instance. If you don’t, I’ll only be wasting a bullet on you!” said Leopold as he pointed a gun directly at the side of Gerald’s head. In response, however, Gerald simply turned to look directly into Leopold’s eyes. “The hell are you looking at, brat?” growled Leopold angrily. “You know, though I’ve been wandering around for quite a while now, I must say that nobody’s actually dared to point a gun directly at my forehead before!” replied Gerald with a laugh. “A death wish? Be my guest!” roared Leopold as his finger moved to pull the trigger. However, the next thing he knew, a clang of metal echoed throughout the cave. It took Leopold a second to realize that the gun was no longer in his hand, and it was at that moment when he knew he had f*cked up. As cold sweat began trickling down Leopold’s forehead, everyone—including Whistler and his men—was so stunned that they didn’t even dare to breathe. After

“Amazing! Not only are you incredibly skillful and strong, but you’re also proficient with medicine! My admiration for you now knows no bounds!” said Whistler respectfully. In response, Gerald only shook his head in silence. After exchanging glances with his men for a while, Whistler then added, “I do wonder if there’s anything my men and I could do for you in future, sir? Since you saved our lives, we’re more than willing to follow you around and do whatever we can for you!” He didn’t just say that to please Gerald either. Their gratitude was genuine. After all, anyone would feel the same way after being saved from such a tight situation. The fact that Gerald was aware of how much Whistler and his men valued their brotherhood only served to make their proposal all the more meaningful. In addition, it’s not like they had anywhere else to go now. They all knew that by following this powerful young man, a bright future wasn’t completely out of the question anymore. “Follow me

“So quickly?” asked Gerald. Coughing before clearing his throat, Whistler then said, “Well, the owner of the factory has constantly been harassed by the local forces here for quite some time… He just couldn’t endure it anymore. He was actually quite willing to sell the factory for a low price! As a result, we still have a little money with us now. Speaking of which, since he’s no longer the company’s owner, should we change the company’s name?” asked Whistler. “Hmm… Let’s go with Royal Dragon!” said Gerald rather casually. “Oh? Royal Dragon Inc? Or perhaps, Royal Dragon Group? Regardless, that sounds like an excellent name! It certainly sounds domineering, that’s for sure. I’ll proceed with the rest of the paperwork immediately! Also, before I leave, my brothers and I have pooled in our money to buy the manor which the previous factory owner used to live in! You can live there in future!” added Whistler with a smile. “Just to make sure, you didn’t coerce him into doing so, righ

“I-I beg your pardon…? Send them home…?” asked Sherman in surprise. “Did sir not make himself clear enough?!” yelled Whistler coldly. “L-loud and clear! I’ll be sending them home right away then, master!” replied Sherman as he nodded repeatedly in fright. Hearing that, the maids instantly began bowing gratefully toward Gerald as they took turns saying ‘thank you’ to him. “Alright, alright, settle down… You’re all free to return to your homes now!” said Gerald as he smiled subtly. Since Gerald had personally experienced what it felt like to be forced to leave his own home, he wasn’t about to allow these girls to continue going through the same sadness and grief that he had. To him, they had already suffered enough after going through the humiliation of being bought as servants. Besides, he wasn’t really a domineering person in the first place. Soon after, most of the maids left together with Sherman. However, two of them remained standing there, sobbing silently. “Aren’t b

“Could it be that… you like our master?” added Lucy as she cupped her mouth while laughing. “Quit spouting nonsense, Lucy… I… I don’t have any other relatives to speak of! However, I will admit that I felt a sense of security the first time I laid eyes on master… It was the reason why I chose to stay. Also, regarding the liking part, how could someone like me ever be qualified to fall for someone like master?!” replied Yukie as she blushed. “Speaking of which, Lucy… I distinctly remembered that you wanted to return to your hometown even more than I did! Why didn’t you leave back then?” added Yukie. “Well, I simply felt that master was a good person who wouldn’t abuse us like our previous ones… Adding that to the fact that he respected us so much, I just felt obligated to stay and work for him! I do have a second reason for staying, however… Remember Tyson? He told me that he would come pick me up in a little under a month back then! I didn’t want him to have to hunt around for me
Chapter 941
“Tyson!” cried out Lucy again as Whistler turned to look at Gerald. “Are you acquainted with him, sir?” asked Whistler. In response, Gerald immediately replied, “But of course I am! He may not be my biological brother, but I treat him as one!” “…Huh? T-then, please save him, sir! Since you’re proficient with medicine, you have to save him!” wailed Lucy between sobs. When he heard her request, Gerald recalled Lucy mentioning someone by the name of Tyson to him sometime back. To think that the Tyson she was waiting for turned out to be the exact same person he cared greatly for as well! If Gerald had been aware that this was the case, he would’ve sent some of his people out to look for him ages ago. If only that had happened, then this turn of events could’ve very easily been avoided. “Please give them some space, Lucy… Didn’t you hear that master treats Tyson like his real brother?” persuaded Yukie as she pulled Lucy aside. Gerald himself immediately began checking Tyson’
Chapter 942
However, by then, the Crawfords had begun fearing that the incident—of the Drake & Tyson duo rescuing Gerald—would be exposed sooner or later. As a result, they provided both the brothers some money and told them to leave the Crawford family. The Drake & Tyson duo didn’t really have any issues with that, and while they had first planned to return to the mercenary base abroad, on their way there, they caught wind of the incident that had befallen both Gerald and Zack in Merry City that night. Upon finding out that Gerald had gone missing, they immediately rushed over to the Salford Province to secretly investigate the incident. However, even after three months had passed, neither of them had been able to find any new leads. As if that wasn’t enough, even the Schuyler family had begun noticing their activity. Knowing that, both of them knew that they didn’t have much of a choice but to halt their investigations for the time being. After some planning, they decided to leave the Salf
