The Secretly Rich Man full story

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1271

Gerald found himself subconsciously taking a step back from the immobile person who was sitting at the corner of

the cave. After a brief moment, however, Gerald realized that the person didn’t seem like he was going to make a

move at all.

Upon closer inspection, Gerald found himself heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that the person’s eyes were

peacefully closed. Anyone would’ve been shocked to see a living man seated within a mountain all by himself!

Carefully approaching the figure—who had his legs crossed—Gerald saw that it was a white-haired old man who

had a robe on. His eyes closed and his complexion ruddy, the old man gave off the impression that he was a monk

that was concentrating on his mediation.

Heading closer to check whether the old man was breathing, he quickly realized that that wasn’t the case!

With that knowledge in mind, Gerald then continued getting closer to the old man to further inspect the body.

However, the second he got within arms-reach of the person, the man’s face instantly turned blank and his skin

dried up extremely quickly! In the blink of an eye, the body had turned into a mummy!

Quickly moving away from where he was standing, Gerald then stared at what remained of the body for a while

before turning to look at the Zircobsite that was as tall as a man.

It was only a guess, but Gerald had a feeling that aside from being able to perform the baptism of heaven with it,

the Zircobsite stone was capable of preserving a person to make them look youthful forever.

Thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly came to a realization that the previous eternal coffins—that he had

come across— were also extremely colorful. In fact, the colors that emanated from the coffins were exactly the

same as the ones the Zircobsite was letting out!

Could it be that the bottoms of the eternal coffins were made of Zircobsite…?

As Gerald lowered his head while thinking about it, he suddenly realized that rows of characters had been carved

on the wall beside the old man! It appeared to be a suicide note of sorts!

Since he was from the Department of Language and Literature, Gerald could easily recognize and understand what

those characters meant.

‘I am a man of divine destiny. I became a master at the age of sixty and I’ve had the honor of participating in the

pledge of the holy water. Alas, the journey there was filled with all sorts of danger, and I ended up learning the

important secrets behind the pledge. I fled all the way here as soon as I could, but in the end, all is still lost due to

my old age! Know that as long as you embark for the pledge of the holy water, there will be no turning back! If any

masters or great masters ever come across this note, then please remember to stop everything!’

After reading through what the old man had left behind, Gerald realized that he was actually a great master who

had participated in one of the past pledges of the holy water. In fact, he appeared to be the first person to actually

be able to escape alive!

The old man had also mentioned that he had discovered the great secret behind the pledge of the holy water. Alas,

he didn’t actually write it out, and that made Gerald slightly worried.

The pledge of the holy water truly was mysterious… Any person who embarked on the journey had little to no

chance of returning home safely. The biggest mystery surrounding the pledge, however, was still its connection to

the Sun League.

Even so, Gerald had the Death Curse on him. With that in mind, he was going to find out the secrets behind the

pledge of the holy water no matter what. Not even death was going to be able to stop him!

Shaking the thought off, Gerald then continued scanning through the cave that was within the mountain. Briefly

after, Gerald confirmed that the rest of the cave was completely sealed up. He was the first to create an opening to

the cave. But then… How did the old man get into the cave in the first place? Gerald simply couldn’t figure it out.

Regardless, now wasn’t the time to think about that. After all, Gerald still had to deal with Queena’s Squad of Divine

Grimness and the Judgement Portals, both of which had strong purpose and determination.

Gerald couldn’t allow the woman in white to fall into their hands, otherwise, Gerald would surely fail even though he

was already so close to succeeding! He needed to focus on the Zircobsite first!

After bowing slightly to pay his respects to the old man, Gerald then walked over to the Zircobsite stone. The closer

he got to it, the harder his heart thumped in anticipation.

When his hand finally touched the stone, a burst of heat suddenly rushed out of the stone! The heat itself was

transferred into Gerald’s body, and it instantly began circulating within him. At the moment, Gerald’s pores kept

opening and closing as he received the baptism of heaven…

Fast forward to three days later, several figures could be seen jumping around in the vicinity of Mountain Top. It was

Tiara and those eight men!

“Hah! You’re still alive, old witch? If it wasn’t for you, Gerald would’ve already ended up in our hands by now!”

It had only been a few days ago when they surrounded and subdued Gerald. Unfortunately, the force that Gerald’s

pendant emitted sent all of them flying in all directions! As if that wasn’t enough, all nine of them found that their

strength and inner strength had momentarily been sealed off!
