Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1092 After saying that, Gerald slowly lifted a hand… Through the force of his inner strength alone, Geraldslowly lifted the old man off the ground. Christopher wasn’t even able to attempt to fight back due tosome invisible force holding on to his entire body.
“P-please don’t kill me, Gerald! T-the pledge of the hold water is coming soon! I’m still useful to you, soplease don’t end me yet! I-I know a major secret you know?!” shouted Christopher in both panic andfear as green veins began bulging from his forehead.
“What secret?” asked Gerald coldly.
“I-I know that your family has been investigating the Sun League for a long while now. I’ll be honestwith you and say that including the Moldells, all the other major secret societies—such as the Naplocksand the Fergusons—have never truly given up on investigating the Sun League even after all theseyears… I-I have an important clue to share with you, so please, please spare my life…! It wasn’t easyfor me to get to this level of training, so even if you still wish to end me, please do so when I attend thepledge of the holy water!” wailed Christopher as the old man burst into tears.novelbin
“…You’re truly a sly, old fox! You’re almost a hundred by now yet you claim to still fear death? Do youthink I’ll spare your life just because you shed a few tears?” replied Gerald, starting to feel slightlyawkward.
“I-I won’t be unreasonable and request that you just let me go, of course… However, aside from thefact that the pledge of the holy water is closely linked to the Sun League, do understand that my fatherdied because of that pledge… Since then, my only wish in life had been to enter the realm of legends
and gain access to the pledge of the holy water. Once I’m there, I wish to find out the reason for myfather’s death. I also wish to find out what the pledge of the holy water truly is.”
“Regardless, I remember Kort telling me that the Crawfords managed to find half of a stone tablet out atsea. The map displayed on said tablet reveals a place called Warhill Mountain, which is where thepledge of the holy water takes place. Endless secrets lie within that mountain, you know?” explainedChristopher hurriedly, knowing that he was no longer able to defeat Gerald no matter what he did.
Despite still resenting the youth, everything he had said was true. He didn’t dare to lie since he trulywanted to live to see the pledge of the holy water with his very own eyes. The way Christopher saw it,even if he was to die, he wanted to pass on in the mysterious way that many others—across the pastten thousand years—who had participated in the pledge had done.
“I already know that it’s going to be held in Warhill Mountain.”
“E-even so, you may not be aware of this next bit, and I’m willing to bet that your grandfather hasn’theard of this either! I’m assuming that you still don’t know where Warhill Mountain is, and for goodreason! See, the token of the holy water only provides a few details about the mountain itself. It doesn’treally tell you the location’s exact coordinates. To enter Warhill Mountain, you must first gather severalgreat masters to team up with. I’ll be frank and say that attempts to even enter the mountain require alot of human and material resources. As a result, only a small group of people usually make it into themountain.”
“According to legends, Warhill Mountain is located on a large island that can be found deep within theocean. While that may sound odd, rumors state that the island only appears once the token of the holywater is issued. The island itself is called Divine Island, and I know how to get there!” addedChristopher.
“You’re not the only one who’s aware of all that, you know? After all, your father wasn’t the only onewho returned from the pledge of the holy water that year. With the pledge of the holy water just aroundthe corner, you should know that rumors like these are commonplace for those who are aware of theevent. Also, since everyone knows that the pledge is extremely dangerous, no sane great masterwould choose to head there alone,” sneered Gerald.
‘What a slick b*stard he is!’ Thought the old man who was now drenched in cold sweat.
Just as Gerald had said, Christopher definitely wasn’t the only one who knew about the ‘secrets’ hehad just shared. In fact, the old man had already agreed to go there with the Naplocks and a few othergreat masters from other families.
“Fine, even if you already know all this, I have something else to tell you that you’ll surely findinteresting!”
“Spill it.”
“Well, regardless of whether they’ve gone mad or not, I’m sure everyone agrees that great masterswho are able to return from the pledge of the holy water are extremely powerful. After all, they wereable to survive long enough in that perilous place! Due to that logic, my father should be considered tobe a powerful person, no?”
“Indeed. My grandfather himself admires him a lot. From what I’ve heard, several of the secret societiesback then treated the Moldells as their default leader,” replied Gerald.
“Well, the thing is, those who managed to return alive are far from the strongest… In fact, they’re theweakest who weren’t able to remain there for long! You know, after my maddened father returned, hecalled me to his bed on the night before his death. The moment I was beside him, he immediately
tugged my arm before shouting the same sentence three times in a row!” said Christopher with a gulpbefore displaying a solemn expression.
Frowning slightly, Gerald then lowered Christopher to the ground before putting away his innerstrength.
“I… For the rest of my life, I’ll never forget my father’s expression when he shouted those words at meon that night…!”
“What exactly did he say?”
“With… an extremely terrified expression, he shouted, ‘I don’t want to go back!’ three times in a row!”
