Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1044

“Greetings, Mr. Moldell!”

“Chairman Crawford, it’s been a while!”

“It has indeed… Since you’ve come today, could it be that you’ve gained some clues about the shipwreck incident

in Northbay, Mr. Moldell?” asked Dylan rather excitedly.

Taking a seat once they were inside, Parker then replied, “Nothing is impossible for a willing heart! After all that

hard work in the previous year, I’m proud to say that our efforts haven’t been for naught! We’ve finally managed to

gain some clues regarding the work of that enigmatic Sun League!”

Hearing that, Dylan and the others happily exchanged glances as Parker took a long map out of his bag.

Revealing its contents, the map was drawn so beautifully that it almost felt like the area that was mapped was one

that had achieved utopia. Though the mountains and rivers painted across the long map were certainly eye-

catching, everyone eventually had their eyes on the symbol at the top left corner of the map.

It was the symbol of the Sun League!

“What’s this then?” asked Dylan, bewildered.

“Haha! You see, the details of this map were found on a stone tablet that I managed to locate. Since it would be a

hassle to bring such a large slab of stone around, I had an artist redraw the contents of the tablet onto this map.

I’m sure all of you have noticed the symbol on the top left corner by now, and yes, it really is the symbol of the Sun

League. Thus, it’s almost certain that the tablet had been left behind by them!” explained Parker.

“I see… Pardon me, Mr. Moldell… but doesn’t the map feel slightly incomplete…? It feels sort of… deformed? If you

get what I mean,” replied Yulia.

“Quite insightful you are, Madam! Unfortunately, the stone tablet was already in poor condition by the time I found

it. While we were successful in recreating the utopian-looking part of the map, we weren’t quite able to finish it

since we couldn’t locate the parts of the stone tablet that had chipped off,” explained Parker with a slight frown.

“Such a pity… Still, while I’ve visited several famous places—that have mountainous areas and rivers—all across the

globe, I’ve never come across such a mystifying-looking place like the one on your map…”

As Dylan and Parker continued discussing the map, Lyra simply peered at it while listening to their conversation.

While the places on the map certainly felt utopian, the dense forests surrounding the area felt rather mystifying to

her.

After looking at it for some time, Lyra pointed at a spot on the map before saying, “…Um… Mom? Dad? And Mr.

Moldell as well… Have any of you noticed the landmark atop this mountain…?”

“…Hmm?”

As everyone instantly focused their gazes on where she was pointing at, even after a brief moment, none of them

seemed to be able to tell what she was hinting at.

“…Can’t you see it, dad? It appears to be a broken stone statue of a woman! It’s toppled over around the waist

area…”

Hearing that, Dylan and Parker looked at each other. From what they could see, it was merely a white rock. Why

was Lyra insisting that it was a statue?

As she watched the two men shake their heads, Lyra took in a deep breath. How odd… While the image was slightly

blurry, Lyra was confident that the picture portrayed a statue of a woman. After all, she would definitely be able to

tell what a woman’s silhouette looked like.

Even Bea and Yulia were unable to see the stone statue that Lyra was talking about. Both of them simply saw an

object resembling a white rock.

“Haha! Perhaps Miss Lyra’s eyes are more unique than ours! Who’s to say that she can’t see things that we can’t?”

joked Parker with a smile.

“Please don’t laugh at me, Mr. Moldell… I may have been mistaken…” replied Lyra as she shook her head, not

wanting to say anything anymore.

“Ah, speaking of which, Chairman Crawford… There’s something I’d like to ask you about…” said Parker as he

looked like he had just recalled something.

“Go on…”

“Well, aside from the Moldell family, have you asked for any external help? I’d like you to answer as frankly as

possible!” asked Parker, his tone oddly cautious.

“Not at all! You’re the only one I’ve hired!” replied Dylan as he shook his head.

“…How curious… I wonder who that person could be then…” muttered Parker with a frown.
