Chapter 2397


    “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 aplete waste of energy! Tell them that we’ll go!”


    Watching as the three elders shook their heads, the child simply dered, “Right away!”


    Moving back to Gerald’s side, it wasn’t long before the Morningstars released Aiden and Leo, just


    ording to n. Naturally, Leo was utterly surprised and delighted to see Gerald, prompting him to


    exim, “Master! You’re here!”


    Back 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 dying


    the inevitable since they know they aren’t a match for Young Master Gerald!” dered Zack.


    “Hah! I’m more interested in what they think they can do in three days! Regardless, I ept 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 nt before! However, he had to go on a business trip then, so our meeting was


    dyed… Unfortunately, I was captured by the Morningstars shortly after!”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Surprised to hear that, Gerald then asked, “Professor Boyle? Who and where is he now?”


    “Oh, he’s a botanist specializing in studying ancient nts. 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!” exined Aiden.


    “I see… Either way, contact him immediately,” ordered Gerald.


    “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 cing you two in charge of taking over them again,” replied Gerald as he turned to look


    at the duo.


    “Loud and clear!” dered the duo.


    After a bit of reorganizing, Mayberry Commercial Street was runched 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 themercial 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 ced his work down before walking out the office only


    to frown when he saw who the woman was.
