The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1068

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1068 Once everyone was ready, the tan man began leading all of them into the desert.

It was only after they had left quite a distance when Gerald walked out of the hotel.

He truly hadn’t expected to bump into Giya here of all places after an entire year. Regardless, she hadstarted working and she had also become so much better.

While Gerald had been tempted to reveal his identity to Giya, it had been over a year and he now knewthat she still hadn’t truly forgotten about him back when he had tested her.

He was well aware of how bad he had treated her back then, and knowing that them being togetherwas going to be impossible anyway, Gerald decided not to delay her from moving on any longer.

Regardless, Gerald had noticed that Wynn had been very nice to Giya earlier. While Gerald didn’tparticularly like Wynn, he trusted that Wynn only wanted the best for Giya. It was the reason whyGerald hadn’t stayed back to treat her injured ankle back then. After all, he could see that there wasalready someone who would take good care of her.

Shaking his head, Gerald then grabbed his luggage, fully prepared to leave. With the pledge of the holywater due in three months, it was impossible for him not to feel anxious about it. After all, he stillneeded to train enough to become a full great master and also locate the eternal coffin before then. Nota single second could be wasted.

Not long after entering the desert, Gerald eventually bumped into Giya’s group. However, their routeforward had been blocked by several people who were wearing clothes with red sleeves.

“Hey now, why are you preventing us from proceeding? You don’t own the desert!” scolded a few of thetourists.

“Our sincerest apologies, but a few bodies had been found in the desert a few days ago, and all ofthem showed signs of facing horrible deaths. We suggest that you refrain from entering the desert forthe next few days. It truly isn’t worth giving your life up for a mere vacation!” explained one of the red-sleeved men.

“And you think we didn’t already know about this? We’re here on an adventure and nothing’s stoppingus! Don’t bother about those red-sleeved men! Let’s just proceed on!” shouted one of the femaletourists as several of them broke through the cordon.

With the group of tourists being so adamant on proceeding, the red-sleeved men weren’t able to stopthem. Just as the woman had said, these tourists were here for an adventure!

Immediately walking over to the red-sleeved group next, Professor Yale said, “We truly appreciate yourwork, young men… Regardless, while they’re here on vacation, my group is here to conduct someresearch. I hope you’ll allow us and our carts to pass…”novelbin

“…Well, your group seems pretty serious with the carts and all… I suppose we can’t stop you fromproceeding either! Regardless, I hope all of you succeed!” replied one of the red-sleeved men as theothers with him allowed Giya’s group to go through.

As Professor Yale and the other researchers proceeded, Meredith saw a few of the touristsbacktracking, probably afraid after hearing what the red-sleeved men had said. To her surprise, shesaw a familiar figure walking behind them as well.

Waving at him, she said, “I guess you came along too!”

Nodding in response, Gerald simply continued walking on in silence.

Upon realizing that he was present, Giya kept staring at the young man. The more she looked at him,the more she felt like she knew him from somewhere. While she had a wild guess of who it could be,the person she had in mind didn’t have such a sturdy-looking figure…

“Speaking of which, I think you should join our group… As those men back there said, this desertseems to be particularly dangerous. Sticking with us should be much safer since we have so manytourists in the group. Safety in numbers, as they say. How about it?” suggested Meredith from atop thecart.

“Hah! This dude looks like he’s here on a broke trip! I mean he doesn’t even have a camel to providehim with water! With that tiny bottle of his, he’ll die of thirst first before even getting halfway through thedesert!” sneered Wynn.

“Please, join us! I can pay for you!” added Meredith, now getting increasingly worried.

Shaking his head, Gerald simply replied, “I appreciate your help, but I’ll have to refuse!”

“Heh! You don’t need it, you say? You have no idea of how easy it is to get lost in this desert, do you?Without my help, nine out of ten people don’t make it out alive! Mark my words, you’ll regret not joiningus! Also, since you said that, even if you change your mind and someone else pays for you, I still won’tallow you to join us!” scoffed the Master of the Desert as he glared coldly at Gerald before gulping onhis can of beer.

Since nobody had ever told him that his help wasn’t needed, the Master of the Desert was quiteegotistical.

With that, he slapped the sides of his camels which led to his carts moving faster.

Meredith and Giya could only stare worriedly at the walking young man who slowly disappeared behindthem.
