Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1643
Naturally, scaling the cliff wasn’t an issue for Gerald either.
After taking a few steps back, Gerald dashed forward before making a giant leap! Seconds later, the youth then
landed right beside Quest!
Upon seeing that, Quest and the others all felt their jaws drop. What immense jumping capabilities! He truly was a
person who was training to attain spiritual enlightenment!
Eventually shaking their shock off, the others then quickly began climbing up the rope as well…
It was when most of them had already made their way up the cliff when a sudden roar of thunder could be heard!
Following that, the weather began changing rather rapidly, and soon enough, dark clouds had covered every inch of
the sky…
Understanding that the weather was only going to get nastier, Patrick—who was adamant about getting up the cliff
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlast—anxiously instructed, “Everyone, hurry!”
Once everyone had made it to the top, Patrick quickly began climbing the rope as well…
Of course, trouble always came unannounced. The others had considerably worn the rope down, so halfway up, it
ended up snapping!
Watching in utter horror as Patrick began falling into the abyss, the other team members instantly began shouting,
“Captain Wang!”
Gerald himself quickly untied the rope around his waist before tossing it toward Patrick! Upon coming into contact
with the falling man, the rope instantly wrapped itself around him!
Realizing what Gerald had just done, Quest then rushed over to him while shouting to the rest, “Hurry and help
him!”
Hearing that, the rest of the team members quickly snapped out of it and began grabbing the rope as well. After a
bit of effort, all of them were successfully able to pull Patrick back up…
Thanks to Gerald’s quick thinking and actions, Patrick was able to avoid a truly horrible fate…
Though he was now safe, Patrick—who was drenched in cold sweat—still found himself shivering slightly. After all,
he had thought that it was all over for him just seconds ago. Panting as he walked over to a rock, Patrick then sat on
it to slowly recover his cool.
Seeing that, Gerald then walked over to him before squatting by Patrick’s side and asking in a concerned tone, “Are
you alright, Captain Wang?”
Still quivering slightly in fear, Patrick then shook his head as he replied, “I… I’m fine… Regardless, thank you,
Gerald…! If it wasn’t for you, I’d be dead by now!”
In response, Gerald simply smiled subtly before humbly replying, “There’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty to help
a teammate out!”
Despite the touching moment, it was then when snow began falling heavily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith how frigid the winds were getting, Quest then yelled, “…Things are looking bad. We need to find someplace to
settle down first!”
Attempting to scale the mountain in such weather was practically suicide and everyone understood that. While it
was true that they were undergoing a rescue mission, it wasn’t big enough an emergency for all of them to risk
their lives for. With that in mind, the best they could do at the moment was to seek shelter and wait the snowstorm
out.
After looking around for a bit, Quest managed to locate a spacious area underneath a steep cliff.
As all of them quickly—and gladly—entered the area to take refuge, everyone heard as Quest suddenly shouted,
“…Hey, look there! There are signs that others have stayed here before!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald and Patrick quickly ran over to Quest’s side.
True to his words, a pile of burned charcoal could be seen there… It was evident that others had made a fire here
before.
“The adventure team could have stayed here before in order to avoid a snowstorm!”
