Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 796

Violent waves had just crashed onto the side of the ship, and by the looks of it, many more were soon to come. The

thunderous waves were so high that they easily scaled the entire ship. Every passing wave was now drenching the

deck.

Everyone aboard began screaming as the ocean liner slowly began sinking into the maelstrom. However, no matter

how much they screamed, the chaotic waves seemed to drown all their voices.

The night was dark, but the ocean was even darker…

By the time the sea finally calmed itself again, a giant object could be seen descending into the depths. While it was

faint, the symbol on the pendant made a brief appearance before disappearing, just like the ocean liner had.

“Is Mr. Crawford awake?” asked Fynn as he hurriedly headed for Gerald’s room with a few documents in hand.

It was already the next day and Gerald was currently in a house on an island that Jessica had rented.

“Mr. Crawford’s up and he seems to be in a rather good mood today. He’s even asked for a ship to be arranged so

that he’ll be able to go out to sea and have some fun!” said a maid respectfully.

Just as the maid’s reply ended, the door to Gerald’s room opened.

“Ah, good morning, Fynn! I plan to go out to sea today and enjoy myself! Of course, I’m also planning to meet up

with Mila if we’re able to locate her! We’ll return to Northbay tomorrow. If you’re free, why not join me?”

Since Gerald had failed to meet Mila the day before, he had made up his mind that he would catch up with her and

give her the proper explanation that she needed. He figured that though they were part of an exclusive expedition,

they shouldn’t be too hard to find.

“You absolutely cannot go looking for her, Mr. Crawford!” replied Fynn, a worried expression on his face.

“And why is that?”

“Something happened to Ocean Liner No. 2 last night! The area’s currently been blockaded as the search for any

traces of the ship continues!”

“Ocean Liner No. 2?” repeated Gerald, stunned.

“It was the ship Miss Smith was on… It seems that the ship was hit by what we can only assume to be a tsunami last

night! Since it has yet to be located, the current assumption is that it sank into the ocean!” explained Fynn in a

rather helpless tone.

“How… How could this be…? What became of its crew…?” asked Gerald, filled with grief and anxiety.

“As I’ve said, we’ve been looking for the ship for ages, but so far, we haven’t even found any signs of a sunken

ship!”

“This simply won’t do! I’m heading over to look for her in person!” declared Gerald as he immediately headed for

the exit.

Seeing that, Fynn could only shake his head as he took his cell phone out.

“Deploy the family’s exclusive marine support! I’ve already told all of you to be ready from dawn, haven’t I? Action

is to be taken immediately!” ordered Fynn before ending the call and catching up with Gerald.

Fynn had been watching Gerald grow even from when Gerald was still a child. He knew his personality well.

Gerald was an extremely loyal person who treated every person he had been in a relationship with, with utmost

importance. Fynn had seen this play out with both Xavia, his ex-girlfriend, and Mila, his current one.

Since Mila was now technically missing, the fact that Gerald hadn’t had a mental breakdown was already a good

sign for Fynn.

He had feared that something would happen to Gerald should he behave recklessly upon hearing the news. To

prevent that, the moment Fynn was notified about the incident, he immediately issued a search for the liner using

the family’s manpower.

Moving back to the present, Gerald stayed aboard the ship throughout the entire day, making sure that no spot in

the Northbay Sea remained unchecked. However, even when evening came, not a trace of the ship could be

scavenged no matter how hard they searched.

Gerald could only sit on the port in a daze, filled with deep grief as he watched the faint outlines of the many ships

still out at sea trying to locate Ocean Liner no. 2.

“…It’s all my fault… If only I hadn’t allowed you to return to Hong Kong back then… If you hadn’t come here,

nothing would’ve happened! If I hadn’t broken my promise yesterday, I wouldn’t have missed the chance to meet

you for the final time!” said Gerald aloud, every word filled with self-reproach.

By then, both Queta and Xara had arrived, and both of them silently stood by Gerald’s side. In Queta’s hands was

Gerald’s meal which had remained untouched till now.

Queta herself was understandably saddened since Gerald hadn’t eaten anything the entire day. Just as Queta was

about to persuade Gerald to at least have a little food, a shout came from behind them.

“What do you think you’re doing here? Get lost!”

It wasn’t long after before a black-suited bodyguard ran toward Gerald and said, “Mr. Crawford, there’s a girl who

wishes to meet you no matter what. She claims that she’s Miss Smith’s classmate…”
