Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1695
“…I’m willing to join your team, Gerald! I’ll follow you wherever you go!” declared Nori after a brief moment’s
thought.
“Count me in as well, Mr. Crawford!”
“We’re all willing to be part of this!”
Seeing that Nori had taken her stand, Zelig, Cyril, and Ray felt the urge to do the same.
Upon hearing their enthusiastic replies, Gerald couldn’t help but feel touched.
In all honesty, he had already factored in the chance that none of them would go with him. After all, the four people
weren’t even long-time acquaintances of his. With that in mind, Gerald knew that it was already asking a lot for
them to risk their lives just to help him.
Now that all of them were agreeing without so much as a second thought, however, it showed Gerald that they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttruly saw him as a friend. In fact, it also displayed how much they trusted in him.
“…Thank you… All of you. While I’d like to have a sentimental moment, there simply isn’t any time to waste. With
that said, do hurry and start packing up! We leave in two hours!” declared Gerald.
Since time was of the essence, the faster they packed up their essentials and headed out, the sooner they could
hopefully locate the Scintillating Gem.
While three hundred days may have sounded a lot, Gerald was well aware that the days they would spend
searching for the gem would come and go extremely quickly. It certainly didn’t help that he didn’t even have any
clues as to where the gem could be. With that in mind, the faster they acted, the higher the chances of them
actually succeeding in finding the gem in time…
Regardless, after hearing Gerald’s order, all four of them hurried off to do as they were told.
Thankfully, exactly two hours later, all four of them regrouped with Gerald, fully prepared.
Following that, the five people made sure to bid goodbye to Sumeru and the four major great masters before finally
leaving the Leicom Academy.
Immediately after leaving the academy, Gerald and the others made sure to stock up on food and drinks. Not
knowing how long their journey was going to take, the more preparations they made, the better.
Once they got everything relevant that they could think of, their hunt for the gem officially began.
“…Speaking of which, where are we headed to first…?” asked Nori.
Since Gerald hadn’t even told them where to begin looking, the four of them were feeling rightfully curious.
Upon hearing that, Gerald opened up the map and began inspecting it. It took him a while, but he eventually
pointed at an area on the map before declaring, “We’re going to start looking here! The South Wastelands!”
The South Wastelands was a desolate area located south of the Leicom Continent. Literally nobody inhabited that
place, and few dared to venture there…
However, since Gerald had made his choice, Nori and the others simply agreed. With the location settled, all five of
them immediately set off for the South Wastelands…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt took them half a day, but they eventually arrived at the border of the South Wastelands by evening.
Upon leaving the Leicom Continent, the five found that the place was as desolate as the rumors had claimed. No
buildings and not even a single soul… The fact that evening was quickly turning to night definitely amplified the
creepiness of the area.
Even so, the five simply continued walking on. After all, Gerald wasn’t afraid of such things.
After walking for a while within the South Wastelands, the group came across a loess wall and decided that it was
high time for them to take a temporary rest.
By that point, it was completely dark… A little too dark…
Raising a brow, Nori turned to look at the moon in the sky… Only to have a jaw drop.
“….H-hey! Look at the moon! Its shine stops right at the border of the Leicom Continent! The moon’s rays can’t
reach us here at all!” shouted Nori as she pointed at the bright moon in the distance.
Realizing that what she had said was true, the other group members instantly found that fact to be rather
mysterious and strange…
