Chapter 1106

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1106 Wagner followed that sentence with a nod.

Hearing that, Gerald slowly opened the scroll. True to Wagner’s words, the opened scroll revealed anextremely vivid and realistic portrait of some sort of general.

The general himself was holding a longsword in hand, and he looked extremely formidable. EvenGerald couldn’t help but feel slightly intimidated by the painting.

However, even that wasn’t what captured Gerald’s attention the most. No, what absolutely caught hisinterest was the fact that the general in the picture looked exactly like the deity in the eternal coffinwhich, in turn, meant that both of them looked exactly like him!

Even the sword in the general’s hand seemed to be the Lightbane! The longsword that Gerald alwayscarried around with him!

“It’s him!” shouted Gerald, his eyelids twitching slightly.

“Do you know him, mister? Regardless, I told you that there was a reason behind all my actions! Myfamily’s been waiting all this time for a person who resembled the one in the portrait, and here youfinally are!”

Gerald didn’t even know how to reply to that.

To think that he would still be able to come across the general after leaving the desert… This wasdefinitely no coincidence. Who exactly was this person…? And how did he have such remarkablecapabilities? How could he even predict that Gerald would come here?

“…Who was it who asked you to wait for me? Where is that person?” asked Gerald after giving it somethought.

The other things could wait for now. After all, as long as he was able to find this mysterious person, allthe other mysteries could be resolved much easier.

To his surprise, Wagner simply shook his head before replying, “I’m afraid that I’m not quite sure whothe person who told us to wait for you was, mister… After all, my ancestors had been told to wait fromeight hundred years ago… Thanks to Master Ghost’s near-perfect calculations, however, he was ableto estimate that I’d be able to meet that person soon. If you truly are the one we’ve been waiting for,then our eight hundred year mission is now finally complete!”

While Wagner seemed to be filled with excitement, Gerald himself was left bewildered as he muttered,“E-eight hundred years ago…?”

So what Wagner was telling him now was that someone from eight hundred years ago had wantedmembers of the Yarne family to wait for Gerald and meet up with him?!

Wanting to get to the bottom of this, Gerald told Wagner to detail all that he knew about the person.

Hearing that, Wagner then began elaborating on how the Yarne family had first met the mysteriousperson. As Wagner had earlier said, the Yarnes were only simple fishermen about eight hundred yearsago.

However, all that changed when one of his ancestors bumped into an old beggar on his way home afterfishing one evening. The old beggar had requested Wagner’s ancestor for some food. His ancestorwas so kind that he brought the old man home and served him a grand seafood feast!

Once the old beggar had eaten to his heart’s content, however, he refused to leave! Instead, he toldWagner’s ancestor that he was going to stay here until he managed to get the Yarnes to become a rich

and powerful family.

Upon hearing that, his ancestor’s family instantly grew amused, thinking that he was drunk. To theirshock, he then stood up with a serious look on his face before saying, “As long as you’re willing to fulfilla single promise for me, I’ll allow all of you to lead a wealthy life without worries from now on.”

Following that, he took out a huge amount of gold from his pocket. Stupefied, Wagner’s ancestorsimmediately asked what the beggar wanted them to do.

Knowing that he had gotten their attention, the old beggar then began drawing a portrait on the spot.Once he was done, he told the Yarnes to wait for the person—who looked similar to the portrait he haddrawn—to appear and once he did, they were to hand a wooden box—which the old man handed overto them—to him.

True to his word, he soon helped the Yarnes become a rich and powerful family. Once that was done,the old beggar simply left.

The Yarne family had never expected such an opportunity to come to them. In just less than a year,their family had managed to make a fortune in Halimark City, building several family properties therewhich still remained today.

“To be quite frank, my father had told me about all this not long before he passed away. I hadn’t reallycared too much about it back then, thinking it was all just nonsense. After all, it is a tale from eighthundred years ago. Imagine my shock when I bumped into you today!” explained Wagner.

Gerald was equally as shocked after hearing Wagner’s entire tale.

“An old beggar? Why is it that old beggar again?! Can such coincidences even exist? He alreadyappeared once in the North Desert! To think that he’s making an appearance here as well! There’s got

to be at least a few thousand years in between his two appearances! Could it perhaps have been somedescendant of his who had equally remarkable abilities? Or… Could they actually be the sameperson…?” muttered Gerald to himself, feeling quite nervous and frightened at the same time.

He was right to be terrified. After all, such a mysterious and extraordinarily strong person knew him thiswell and was probably keeping a constant eye on him! Anyone would be worried if they found out thatsuch a person existed!

“Speaking of which, mister, the old beggar also told us to relay two sentences to you!” said Wagner ashe looked at Gerald.

“What are they?”

“One is reborn in heaven beside the red spider lily. A defiant dragon will appear near the crossing ofblood!”novelbin
