Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1069

Though the journey through the desert was both long and hot, the researchers and the tourists did just fine with the

help of the Master of the Desert.

After two days of traveling, the group arrived at the center-point of the desert. As was expected, from where they

currently were, not a soul could be seen within the sandy lands.

At the time, dusk was setting in soon so they decided to make a stop at a shelter that was half-broken. Thankfully, it

was still nice enough for them to stay the night.

“I wonder how that man’s doing… Do you think he headed back to town…?” muttered Giya as she sat next to the

fireplace, thinking about the man who had saved her.

“I doubt it. He just doesn’t seem to be that kind of guy! The way he presents himself, he’s both mature and reliable!

Actually, hold on… Why do you keep thinking about him anyway? Didn’t you say that you loved Gerald…? Could it

be that you’re obsessing over him because he both looks like, and reminds you of Gerald…?” replied Meredith in a

rather displeased tone. The way she said it, it was as though Meredith could see through Giya.

“What? No! I’m just worried since he did save our lives after all! Besides, aren’t you constantly thinking about him

too, Meredith?” said Giya with a smile.

“Well I do admit that I like mature people… He certainly fits the bill in that department! What more, his eyes

suggest that countless stories lay hidden behind them… He’s the exact kind of mysterious boyfriend that I’d love to

have!” replied Meredith without a doubt.

“Is… that an indirect way of saying you like him…?” asked Giya, her curiosity piqued.

“Well… I don’t know, alright? Maybe… I mean I just can’t stop thinking about him! I really want to meet him again,

you know?” replied Meredith as she cupped her hands on her cheeks while looking up into the sky.

Hearing that, Giya looked up at the sky in silence as well.

‘Same here… I really want to meet him again too!’ Giya thought to herself.

A brief moment later, Wynn walked over to them before saying, “Giya? Meredith? What are both of you doing?

Here, have some hot water. Once the sun sets, things are going to get super chilly here!”

“It’s fine, I’m not thirsty!” replied Giya as she shook her head, knowing full well what he was up to.

While she had to admit that Wynn truly had an aura of royalty surrounding him, he just wasn’t the kind of person

she liked.

Despite his constant efforts to woo her, Giya knew that it was impossible for them to be together. As a result, the

more he did for her, the guiltier she felt about it.

“Well, if that’s the case, why not come over and listen to the Master of the Desert’s storytelling? So far, all his

stories have been pretty scary!” suggested Wynn.

He then pointed at the professor before adding, “Look, even Professor Yale is interested in his stories! Come on!”

Hearing that, both Giya and Meredith exchanged glances with each other. Since they were here as reporters and

they needed to write articles once they returned anyway, perhaps listening to an interesting story or two would help

them with their writing.

With that in mind, the two girls then re-joined the crowd of people who were listening to the Master of the Desert’s

tale. The tale itself went by ‘the Legend of Capra Nanny,’ and the bearded man made sure to use his most serious

tone while sharing the story.

Essentially, the tale was about an old grandmother who lived in the desert. Nobody knew whether she was a human

or a ghost, but the important thing was that for sustenance, she sucked humans dry of their blood! In fact, all those

previous murders could’ve very well been committed by Capra Nanny! Not only was she scary, but she was also

very powerful and bulletproof. Nobody could even dream of killing her, and some accounts even said that any

normal person who saw her would end up dead on the spot!

“…Is she truly that terrifying…? If something like that really is out there, then it would’ve been made public by

now!” muttered one of the people huddled before the Master of the Desert. Many others, however, remained silent,

feeling quite spooked by the story.

“But of course, she is! I’ll let you in on something even more shocking! Capra Nanny truly does exist, and I’ve seen

her before with my own eyes!” whispered the Master of the Desert.

As chills were sent down almost everyone’s spines, Professor Yale simply laughed before saying, “You truly are an

excellent joker, Master of the Desert! Don’t scare the children too much!”

“But I jest not! I truly did see her before! I was only seven back then and I saw her when I was following my father

into the desert!” replied the bearded man in a serious tone, a hint of fear in his voice.

Seeing how serious the Master of the Desert’s expression was, even the Professor couldn’t help but to stop

laughing.
