Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1663
Regardless, Gerald then took all four of their divine stones before slipping them into his pocket. Gerald now had five
of them.
Either way, he then turned to look at Zelig before asking, “Are you alright?”
Shaking his head, Zelig then replied in a gratuitous voice, “I’m fine, thanks to you saving me! Also, where are my
manners! My name is Zelig Lear!”
Upon hearing that, Nori found herself momentarily stunned.
“Wait, you’re… Zelig Lear? The second young master of the Lears of Jaellatra?” asked Nori.
Looking at her, Zelig—who clearly hadn’t expected her to know who he was—found himself raising a slight brow as
he curiously replied, “…I am. And you are…?”

What an honor!” said Nori as she smiled subtly.
The Lears were an extremely strong family in Jaellatra, and many of its members were so strong that some had
even managed to enter the Avatar Realm!
Zelig understood how strong his family was as well. With that in mind, to think that he had been caught in the
process of failing to defend himself against only four assailants… It was rather embarrassing, to say the least.
Chuckling rather bitterly, Zelig then sighed before replying, “You’re exaggerating it, Young Lady Zahn! I’m just a
good-for-nothing who’s been left behind by the other Lears!”
Though Zelig was the second young master of his family, his training was honestly rather low in comparison. After
all, he had only managed to enter the Ninth-rank in the Rune Realm. The fact that he couldn’t even breach the
Sage Realm had caused his family to collectively label him as being useless. With that in mind, Zelig wasn’t
exaggerating either when he said that the rest of the Lears had abandoned him.
After staring at Zelig’s body for a while Gerald frowned slightly as he said, “…I can sense that due to some odd
reasons, you haven’t been able to progress past the Ninth-rank of the Rune Realm.”
Nodding in response, Zelig then replied, “You’re rather insightful, sir! What you said is true and from what I’ve
managed to gather, there seems to be a strange aura within my body that’s keeping my elixir-of-life field sealed.
That’s the reason why I haven’t been able to make any progress at all!”
“I see… Well, it’s not like your situation is incurable. You just haven’t been using the right methods to properly tackle
it!” explained Gerald.
The second he heard that, Zelig was instantly surprised though joy quickly overtook that feeling. The fact that
Gerald was able to say that definitely meant that Gerald had a way of helping him!

“…I see! But before that, where are my manners indeed! How should I address you?” asked Zelig.
“You can just call me Gerald. Gerald Crawford!”
“Very well, Mr. Crawford! Getting straight to the point, if you truly have a way to help me, then I’ll be willing to offer
you my entire life in exchange! I’ll be there for you at your every beck and call!” replied Zelig. With how excited he
looked, Zelig barely had the temperament of a young master of such a powerful family…
However, that did show how sincere Zelig’s words were. Adding that to the fact that Zelig wasn’t even close to
feeling like a villainous character, Gerald decided that he wasn’t against helping him out.
“While I’m fine with helping you, you should focus on gathering five divine stones first. We can talk about this in
more detail once we leave this illusory space!” replied Gerald.
After all, though Gerald already possessed five divine stones and Nori had two, Zelig hadn’t managed to gather a
single stone. With that in mind, they needed eight more stones, which meant that eight more people needed to be
defeated…
