Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1711

“In any case, make sure you get plenty of rest in the coming days! You can leave everything else to us!” Nori added.

Gerald realised that he didn’t have much of a choice but to obey after hearing that. With that, he retired to his bed to rest…

Juno, Meilani’s older sister, could be seen knocking on Gerald’s door early the next morning, asking, “Gerald?” “Are you awake?” I inquire.

Juno couldn’t help but raise a brow as she opened the door after waiting for a long time and receiving no response… only to discover that he wasn’t even there!

‘How could he have gotten away?’ I mean, he couldn’t have just walked away, could he?’ Juno pondered the situation, perplexed.

With a slight frown, she had an idea of where Gerald could be… With that in mind, she dashed to the back garden to see if he was still around.

When Juno arrived at the back garden, she was greeted by Gerald and Leit Query meditating on stone benches, just as she had expected. Both of them appeared to be quite content with their eyes closed…

Juno couldn’t help but sigh as she rolled her eyes. It’s no surprise that his room was deserted! They had both gotten up early in the morning to train!

Juno walked over to Gerald’s side after a brief pause and whispered, “Gerald…!”

Gerald opened his eyes when he heard his name and smiled as he replied, “Ah, Young Lady Zorn!” You’ve gotten up early! “Are you also here to train?”

Juno looked over at Leit, who was sitting beside him, for a brief moment, ignoring Gerald’s question…

Juno could only sigh when she noticed how little he had moved and how little his expressions had changed. She was well aware that Leit was not to be trifled with, and she was slightly concerned that he would become enraged because she had come looking for Gerald…

Regardless, Leit opened an eye and leapt straight out of the back garden when he sensed Juno’s gaze on him…

Gerald was slightly pleased by Leit’s ability to read the mood when he saw that. He was certain that Leit had left because he didn’t want to disturb Gerald and Juno’s private moment.

Juno herself was relieved that Leit had picked up on the hint. In any case, now that he’d left, Juno quickly returned her focus to Gerald, asking, “Why on earth did you wake up so early, Gerald?”

Gerald replied, “I’m just used to getting up early!”

Gerald had practised this habit since he was a child, and it had surprisingly helped him improve both his physical and martial arts abilities in later years.

“Ah, I see. Anyway, when you’ve finished meditating, come with me! I’ll take you somewhere!” Juno exclaimed, grabbing Gerald’s hand and dragging him out of her house without even waiting for him to respond…

Gerald simply allowed himself to be pulled along because she had made up her mind…

They eventually arrived at a bakery of some sort…

“Today, Gerald, breakfast is going to be my treat! Just so you know, I come here every day because the bread they make is incredible!”

After that, she dragged him into the bakery and yelled, “Waiter!” Please, three trays of bread!”

Juno was a regular, so he naturally recognised her and gave her order top priority.

With that in mind, the waiter delivered three trays of delicious-smelling bread to Gerald and Juno’s table in less than a minute.

“Don’t be shy, go ahead! Juno urged Gerald to try one of the loaves as she pushed one over to him.

Juno didn’t even wait for him to respond before stuffing bread into her mouth, completely unconcerned about her appearance.

Juno’s appetite was, to put it mildly, incredible.

Juno managed to finish the bread from the remaining two trays she ordered while Gerald was still full from just one tray!

“…You have a voracious appetite there, Lady Zorn…” Gerald muttered, slightly surprised, as he rested his palm against his brow…

Juno simply turned to look at Gerald when he heard that and replied, “What of it?” I was simply born with a voracious appetite!”

Gerald simply zipped his mouth as he shook his head, afraid that if he continued, Juno would flip the table over.

Regardless, after finishing their breakfast, the two headed to Dragonblood City’s training court.

Each city on the Leicom Continent had its own training court, which was used to host a variety of yearly competitions. Of course, training courts were also used as a formal training and battleground for those skilled in martial arts.

In any case, by the time they arrived at the training court, many people were already sparring.

When everyone in the room realised Juno was there, they immediately displayed respectful expressions, even offering Juno their sparring areas.

Juno continued to wield considerable power in Dragonblood City based on this alone. After all, powerful people, regardless of gender, were always respected by others.

Juno simply chose a secluded area after declining their offers, then looked at Gerald and said, “Allow me to challenge you to a duel, Gerald!”

Gerald said, “I accept!” without hesitation.

After all, he’d promised to teach Juno some martial arts skills, and what better way to learn them than by brawling with each other? Juno’s martial arts skills would improve more quickly the more they sparred.

With that in mind, they stood at opposite ends of the room…

“Are you ready?” she asked, looking at Gerald.

With a nod, Gerald replied, “Ready as ever!”

Juno wasted no time after hearing this and charged straight at Gerald! Her fist was inches away from Gerald’s face in less than a second, thanks to her quickness!

Juno was certainly powerful, but she was simply repeating her usual attack. With that in mind, Gerald easily avoided her punch before grabbing her arm and yanking it down!

Juno lost her balance as a result of the abrupt shift and nearly fell face first! Thankfully, Gerald quickly pulled her up and saved her from embarrassment.

Whatever the case may have been, everyone else on the scene was taken aback when they saw what had happened.

They, of all people, were aware of Juno’s strength. After all, she had repeatedly challenged them in the past, and after being pummelling time and time again, no one dared to challenge her anymore. They couldn’t stand up to her!

When they first saw Gerald, they assumed she had just duped some poor sap into duelling with her because she hadn’t been able to duel anyone in a long time. They hadn’t expected that young man to have such an easy time defeating her! It was truly awe-inspiring to witness…

Juno, who wasn’t about to give up so easily, stood up and exclaimed, “Again!” shortly after.

She was confident that she would be able to make at least a few more moves before Gerald disengaged her.

Gerald yelled back, “Hold on a second, Young Lady Zorn!”

Juno then asked, “What is it?” with a raised brow.

“I have an idea…

You might want to reconsider your attacking strategy. I’ll be able to disengage you in a single move if you keep attacking me with the same move, no matter how many times you attack me!” Gerald replied as he shared his analysis with her.

“Is there… something wrong with my attack style?” Juno, perplexed, inquired.

Her entire life had been spent using this attack style! Juno didn’t think it needed to be changed. With that in mind, what was Gerald’s motivation for recommending…?

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1713

Gerald, of course, was not commenting on the attack.

While her attack style was certainly powerful, he meant that she frequently left herself wide open to be countered before attacking.

When you combine that with the fact that she never changed her attack style, any opponent who is stronger than her will be able to see through her attack patterns in no time.

It explained how Gerald was able to easily defeat her.

The only reason she had been able to win all of the previous battles was because the opponents she had encountered were much weaker than she was.

Given this, they were unlikely to have had the opportunity or experience to analyse Juno’s attack patterns.

Gerald, on the other hand, was far more powerful than she was. He’d also been personally trained by Leit, and he had his own unique perspectives and analyses on martial arts skills and attack tactics.

Regardless, when Gerald heard Juno’s question, he replied solemnly, “Think about it.” According to what I’ve observed, you tend to focus solely on attacking, which leaves you vulnerable to counterattack! As proof, I was able to easily defeat you despite the fact that you rarely focus on defence!”
