Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1521
When the priest finally awoke again, was greeted by the sight of a young man’s back.
Recalling that he had been yanked by some strong and invisible force earlier—before he blacked out—the shocked
priest then muttered, “W-who are you…?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter. However, what does matter is who you people are, and what you’re all planning to do
here on Sacrasolis Mountain,” replied Gerald as he slowly turned around before staring coldly at the man.
The second that man saw Gerald, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably as he stuttered, “Y-young
Master?! It’s you?!”
Watching as the terrified man knelt right before him, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly as he curiously
muttered, “…Young Master?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Indeed! Still, when exactly did arrive, Young Master?” asked the priest
“I can come and go as I please, can’t I?” sneered Gerald in response.
While he wasn’t exactly sure why the priest was referring to him as ‘Young Master,’ Gerald still felt that this was the
perfect opportunity to bait some information out of the man. He was hoping that some probing around would do
the trick.
“Also, you’ve yet to answer my first question!” added Gerald in a commanding tone.
Hearing that, the frightened priest quickly bowed before replying, “H-how could you possibly have forgotten, Young
Master…? Regardless, we’re all here since we got secret orders from the family to head to Sacrasolis Mountain to
refine the holy stone! There’s an area here called the Sacrasolis Pond, and we’ve been refining the Sacrasolis Holy
stone for over a month now!”
“The Sacrasolis Holy Stone, you say? I see. And what happened to all the original priests from Sacrasolis Church
then?” asked Gerald as he nodded while slowly piecing together the bigger picture.
“W-well, anyone who wasn’t compliant was killed on the spot… The rest of them are currently imprisoned in the
dungeon! Regardless, I wonder if the chief knows that you’re already here, Young Master? I can immediately report
to Mr. Hoyt Crawford about your presence if you’d like!” replied the priest.
“That can wait. Speaking of which, have you heard of a person called Master Ghost before?” asked Gerald, now
more certain than ever that there were loads of secrets hidden within this mountain.
“Master Ghost? But of course, I know him! After all, you were the one who ordered us to hunt him down! If you’ve
forgotten, we already have him in our hands! You even ordered the chief to keep a close eye on him at all times!”
said the priest.
“So Master Ghost has been captured by your group this entire time?!” replied Gerald as he slightly raised an
eyebrow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“…Y-young Master…? What are you…?” muttered the priest as he raised a slight brow as well, finally realizing that
the person in front of him seemed to have a rather different personality compared to the young master he knew…
Besides, wasn’t it bizarre that the young master of all people was asking him all these questions…?
‘Well, this is just perfect! To think that I’d get all this information that easily!’ Gerald thought to himself.
As it turned out, Master Ghost had fled all the way to Sacrasolis Mountain to hide within Sacrasolis Church, and all
this had led to the incident where he had met Xyrielle and told her about her fortune at the back of the mountain a
while back. Unfortunately, this group of ‘priests’ came over sometime later and completely turned Sacrasolis
Mountain upside-down for two distinct reasons. Firstly, to seek out and capture Master Ghost, and secondly, to gain
access to the Sacrasolis Pond.
With that said, no wonder he couldn’t find where Master Ghost was this entire time!
“…So, who is this Hoyt Crawford that you mentioned? Also, detail me a bit more on your young master,” replied
Gerald with a smile.
“…H-huh? So, you really aren’t the young master…?!” replied the priest as he instantly got to his feet, a vigilant
expression on his face.
“I’m honestly surprised it took you this long to notice,” replied Gerald with a chuckle, knowing full well that this man
was trying to escape.
