Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 706 “Alright, how about this? I’ll stay here for three more days and though you probably won’t be able tolearn any difficult moves within that short amount of time, under my guidance, you can surely learn atleast a few for self-defense. That way, your enemies won’t be able to come too close to you that easily!While the moves themselves are practical and generally easier to learn, keep in mind that the movesaren’t designed to hurt people! They’re primarily for self-defense, after all!” said Finnley.

“…Wait, you aren’t kidding, right? I’ll be able to learn basic self-defense in just three days?” repliedGerald with a smile.

“Listen, if I say you can master it by then, you definitely can! Consider yourself lucky that I’m evenstaying back to teach you, you brat of a grandson! And don’t look at me with those doubtful eyes! If youdon’t believe me, try hitting me with all you’ve got!” said Finnley as he waved at Gerald to come at him.

“I’d rather not! Again, Mr. Quick, I was only hurt this much because I didn’t fight back! I don’t hit womenanyway! I’m honestly quite strong you know! I’m afraid that if I actually punched you, I’d end upbreaking your bones!” replied Gerald rather dismissively as he waved back.

‘Mr. Quick may be knowledgeable, but he’s still old and skinny…’ Gerald thought to himself. He washonestly worried that he would end up hurting the old man from just a simple punch.

“What are you worrying about? Come at me already!” Was Finnley’s response.

Seeing how confident Finnley sounded, Gerald eventually gave in. After positioning himself, Geraldmade a dash toward Finnley, aiming a punch at his shoulder!

It was a moment later when a loud thud could be heard. Gerald was now on the ground!

Before Gerald’s punch could even connect, Finnley easily dodged his attack before grabbing him bythe wrist! In the next moment, Gerald felt like a broken kite as his entire body was momentarily liftedinto the air before he was greeted by the villa’s cold, stone porch!

Gerald’s entire body was hurting as though all the bones in him had simultaneously been fractured. Hefound it difficult to even get up.

“G-Gerald!” shouted Queta as she rushed toward him with a worried expression plastered on her faceas she helped him get up.

“So? How was it, grandson? I still got the moves!” said Finnley as he squatted down beside Geraldwhile chuckling.

It hadn’t crossed Gerald’s mind that such a frail-looking man would be so good at self-defense.

He hadn’t even realized that he had been lifted into the air till the moment his body hit the ground.Gerald’s head was honestly still spinning from the impact of that fall.

“Come on, grandpa Quick! Why did you have to overdo it?” exclaimed Queta, evidently concernedabout Gerald’s safety.

“Hah! He’s a fully grown man! He isn’t as weak as you think, my granddaughter. After all, Gerald’s hadto do a lot of rough work from a very young age! His arms are pretty strong you know? The move I justused on him will be perfect for Gerald to learn!” replied Finnley as he gave Gerald a slight kick.

“Get up now, my grandson! As promised, I’ll use these few extra days to help you master a few moves!So long as your opponents aren’t too experienced, those moves will definitely be handy assets to helpyou escape most normal fights!”

Hearing that, Gerald immediately stood up, still holding on to his hurt arm.novelbin

‘He’s right about that. That truly is a pretty good move…’ Gerald thought to himself as he nodded.

Fast forward to three days later, while Gerald had finally managed to master quite a few self-defensetechniques, it also meant that Finnley no longer had anything stopping him from leaving.

Since Finnley had been together with them for quite some time now, Gerald realized that he alreadyhad a slight emotional connection with him.

While the old man was occasionally muddle-headed and tended to spout nonsense from time to time,he was generally a good man to both Gerald and Queta. In all honesty, Gerald wanted him to stay if hecould.

Queta bawled her eyes out as she sent him off. She was well aware that she would miss having himaround.

As Mr. Quick left the villa, Gerald wondered why Mr. Quick was so reluctant to talk about certain topics.However, seeing how adamantly the old man had held on to his secrets, Gerald simply kept thequestion to himself for the time being.

With Finnley gone, it now was time for him to focus all his energy on investigating the Fendersons.

The next day, as Gerald was entering the campus together with Marven, both of them bumped intoWarren, Maia, and three other girls.

However, Gerald simply walked on, treating Maia as though she was a complete stranger.

“You… Gerald Crawford! You come back here, right this instant!” yelled Maia in anger.
