Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2276

After stepping on several mounds of bones, Gerald soon arrived at the innermost part of the cave.

Walking out the stone chamber, the old man momentarily looked at the drenched boy before shaking his head as

he said, “A rare heavy rain…”

“Indeed… Regardless, I’m here because-“

“Stop. Come over here and warm up first. I’ll go get some dry clothes for you,” interrupted the man as he placed a

finger over his lips before heading further down the stone chamber.

While Gerald honestly wasn’t even bothered about his current condition, since the old man insisted, he simply shook

his head before following him. As he walked down the chamber, he couldn’t help but note that the chamber had

barely changed from the last time he was here.

Regardless, he soon saw the old man rummaging through a stone cabinet. Poking his head out, the old man then

tossed a bag at Gerald while saying, “Try these on.”

By the time Gerald caught the bag, the old man was already tossing some firewood into a basin next to his bed.

With just a snap of his finger, flames flared out the dry wood, instantaneously warming the entire stone chamber.

Naturally, this surprised Gerald, and he was momentarily speechless. While he remembered Jobson performing

something similar back at the Yamashita manor, it was clear as day that this old man was even more powerful than

Jobson.

Noticing how stunned Gerald was, the old man couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “Summoning a flame like that

is nothing!”

“The fact that you can say that means I have a long way to go…” replied Gerald with a sigh. After all, if an old man

tasked with guarding some ruins was already this strong, then Gerald’s current cultivation was just the tip of the

iceberg.

“So what if I’m strong? There’s no place for me to use my powers! Though I guess being able to summon fire

whenever I want is convenient… Either way, enough talk, go change already before you fall sick,” said the old man

as he sat cross legged by the fire while extending his palms out.

“But… this…” muttered Gerald in a slightly embarrassed tone as he looked at the bag the old man had thrown at

him. Gerald figured that all the old man’s clothes were hemp robes since he had only ever seen the old man

wearing them, and while it definitely suited Gerald’s temperament as a cultivator, they were now in the secular

world! If he wore this out, then he would surely draw unnecessary attention, thus inconveniencing him to do things.

“What? You don’t like my clothes?” asked the old man a s be glared at the boy.

“Of course, not…” muttered the flustered Gerald as he unwillingly undressed before opening the bag only to find

himself surprised since it contained a set of rather modern and casual clothes! In fact, there was even modern

underwear and socks! Gerald, for one, wasn’t going to complain, and he quickly got himself changed.

Upon hearing the buckling of a belt, the old man was prompted to ask, “Well? Does it fit?”

“It fits perfectly, honestly. Still, to think that you’d foresee my drenched arrival and even get me this fitting outfit…”

muttered Gerald, feeling slightly touched.

“Oh please, I didn’t get them for you. I simply bought them to look at whenever I felt bored! As for the perfect fit, I

guess you just happen to share the same measurements as my son!” replied the old man with a cackle. ‘

“H-huh?” said Gerald as he awkwardly took a sniff at his clothes.
