“Well, it’s stated in the letter that they’re dealing with an extremely skilled boy by the name of Gerald! The boy’s so
powerful that all three of you are needed!” said the child.

Chuckling in response, one of the old men then replied, “I see. Well, we’ve mastered the sword technique anyway,
so this will be a good opportunity to test it out on an ‘expert’. Hopefully the boy isn’t too weak, or using the
technique will be a complete waste of energy! Tell them that we’ll go!”
Watching as the three elders shook their heads, the child simply declared, “Right away!”
Moving back to Gerald’s side, it wasn’t long before the Morningstars released Aiden and Leo, just according to plan.
Naturally, Leo was utterly surprised and delighted to see Gerald, prompting him to exclaim, “Master! You’re here!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack when Gerald had left for Yanam in search of clues, he had sent Leo back to Mayberry City to assist Zack.
Because of that, they hadn’t met in years. With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t help but reply, “You’ve truly suffered a
lot after all this time…”
“That aside, after releasing us, the Morningstars returned all our previous assets as well! However, they did tell us
to hand you a challenge letter…” said Aiden.
“Oh? They’re ballsy enough to challenge me to a duel?” scoffed Gerald as he helplessly shook his head while
opening the letter. After reading through it, it seemed that they wanted to duel atop Mountain Top in three days to
settle things once and for all!
“The Morningstars have always been ruthless and insidious… But it’s clear that they’re simply delaying the
inevitable since they know they aren’t a match for Young Master Gerald!” declared Zack.
“Hah! I’m more interested in what they think they can do in three days! Regardless, I accept their challenge!
Speaking of which, have you found anything regarding what I told you to investigate, Aiden?” replied the smiling
Gerald as he turned to look at Aiden.
“I did manage to find some clues, but I got captured by the Morningstars before I had the chance to look any
further!”
After taking a gulp of water, Aiden then grumbled, “You see, after I returned some three months ago, I used all the
resources I had to secretly begin investigating based on the picture of the divine fruit tree that you gave me. In the
end, I managed to locate Professor Boyle, and he even told me that he had seen the ancient plant before!
However, he had to go on a business trip then, so our meeting was delayed… Unfortunately, I was captured by the
Morningstars shortly after!”
Surprised to hear that, Gerald then asked, “Professor Boyle? Who and where is he now?”
“Oh, he’s a botanist specializing in studying ancient plants. He’s very knowledgeable in that area, to the point where
he was even hired by Mayberry University, about a year and a half ago, to be a professor! However, from my brief
meeting with him back then, I can safely say that he seems to be rather mysterious… He’s nothing like the other
professors I’ve met before!” explained Aiden.
“I see… Either way, contact him immediately,” ordered Gerald.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Right away!” replied Aiden as he immediately began calling the professor…
Once the call ended, Aiden turned to look at Gerald before saying, “His assistant picked up. Apparently, the
professor will be returning to Mayberry from his business trip tomorrow afternoon!”
“Got it. Since that’s the case… Harper… Zack… The Morningstars have already split our assets, correct? I’ll be
placing you two in charge of taking over them again,” replied Gerald as he turned to look at the duo.
“Loud and clear!” declared the duo.
After a bit of reorganizing, Mayberry Commercial Street was relaunched as the business of Caffin Group in the
afternoon of the very next day. As was expected, Harper was once again appointed as the general manager of the
commercial street. After all, Gerald was certain that Harper who had remained loyal even after all that had
happened would continue being dedicated to his work.
Regardless, it was some time past noon when a staff member entered Harper’s office before saying, “There’s a
woman outside who wishes to see you, Mr. Sullivan!”
“I’ll be there in a second!” replied Harper as he placed his work down before walking out the office only to frown
when he saw who the woman was.
