Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1079

“I’ll be taking your silence as approval for me to chase after Xadrian then! I’ll start going after him starting

tomorrow!” said Meredith.

“…Fine,” replied Giya in a soft tone.

Taking in a deep breath, she reminded herself again that Gerald was the person she was in love with. So what if

Xadrian looked like him? In the end, he still wasn’t Gerald.

If Meredith truly liked Xadrian, then Giya knew she had no right to prevent her from pursuing her own happiness.

‘You can’t be so selfish, Giya!’ Giya thought, attempting to comfort herself.

Regardless, neither of the girls slept a wink that night due to how preoccupied they were with their own concerns.

Early the next morning, everyone was packing up—preparing to leave—when Meredith walked over to Gerald

before saying, “Are you thirsty, Xadrian? I have some water with me if you want!”

Hearing that, Gerald’s first response was to take a peek at Giya through the corner of his eyes. Realizing that Giya

herself was secretly staring at him, Gerald turned to look at Meredith, flashing a gentle smile before replying, “…

Sure, why not? I am a little thirsty now!”

“Hehe… Since you were so focused on saving and protecting us last night, you probably haven’t gotten sufficient

rest at all! So drink up to make sure you don’t get overly dehydrated as well!” said Meredith as she smiled back.

Taking a sip of the water, Gerald then said, “…Hmm? Why’s the water sweet…?”

“…Huh? Sweet? How could that be?” replied Meredith, surprised. However, she quickly caught on to what he was

implying.

Once she did, she couldn’t help but blush as she added, “Oh, come on, Xadrian! Now you’re just teasing me!”

As the two of them continued bickering playfully, Giya—who was still standing at the side—couldn’t help but clench

her fists slightly. She wasn’t even sure what expression to make, evident by how she occasionally scrunched her

face up.

In her mind, she wondered if she truly had been overthinking everything. Perhaps Meredith and Xadrian truly were

a perfect match. Just by looking at them, she could tell how good they looked together!

Even after leaving the building, Giya saw that Gerald occasionally ended up chatting with Meredith as they

continued on with their journey.

Gerald, of course, was deliberately doing all this in front of Giya. Since he was well aware that it was impossible for

a relationship to bloom between them anyway—regardless of whether he was Gerald or Xadrian to her—by flirting

with Meredith, he hoped that Giya would just give up and forget all about him already and try starting a new

relationship.

What more, there was no way Gerald could return to his previous life anyway after all that had happened. Knowing

that, he really had no other choice but to do what he was currently doing. He just couldn’t bear hurting Giya any

more than he needed to.

The group had set off early in the morning, and it was near midday when the Master of the Desert suddenly

shouted, “…Hmm? What’s that in front?”

As he said that, he stopped his camels from proceeding on for the moment.

“…It looks like a crashed vehicle! I can see a few human figures lying on the sand!” shouted one of the tourists.

“Nonsense! We’re in the middle of nowhere! Why would a vehicle be out here out of the blue?” replied Professor

Yale.

By then, Gerald himself squinted his eyes to look at the wreckage. Slowly frowning, he then said, “…That’s not just

any vehicle. It’s a helicopter!”

Upon saying that, Gerald began running toward the crash site.

To the others, Gerald was now as much of a guide as the Master of the Desert was. As a result, they all chased after

him, surrounding Gerald once they arrived at the scene.

Now up close with the helicopter wreckage, everyone could see several of the vehicle’s parts scattered all over the

place. Since any flames from the crash had long been put out, Gerald estimated that the incident had occurred in

the early hours of yesterday.

“Look there! I think those are corpses!” yelled out Meredith as she pointed at a sand dune.

Hearing that, Gerald ran over to where Meredith was pointing at. All in all, Gerald found that there were four

corpses lying around the initial crash site. That, however, wasn’t what caused Gerald’s eyelids to twitch after

getting a good look at all four of them.

“Why are all of them wearing black robes…?”

“Could they be tomb robbers? You know, like the ones they usually show on film and television dramas…? Why else

would they be dressed like this?”

As the others began discussing the current situation among themselves in between gulps filled with worry, nobody

was able to notice the shock on Gerald’s face.

Checking for all four of the men’s breaths—just for double measure—Gerald confirmed that all four of them were

dead as he thought to himself, ‘…How could this have happened…? Why are they even here in the first place…?’
