Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1119Out stepped a young man draped in black robes. When the visitors saw him, all of them fell silent.

As for the apprentices, they immediately bowed respectfully before shouting in unison, “Senior!”

“The distinguished guest that master’s been waiting for has arrived…” said the man as he scannedthrough the crowd with a smile.

“May I know who among you goes by the name of Mr. Gerald Crawford? From Northbay?” added theman.

“That would be me!” replied Gerald as he frowned slightly. To think that the mysterious Master Ghosthad even predicted that he would come over today to pay him a visit!

“Greetings, Mr. Crawford. The master has been waiting for you for the longest time, and he’s alreadyprepared some tea for you. Please, follow me,” said the young priest as he bowed.

Astonished, Gerald then replied, “…The longest time? From when exactly had he predicted myarrival…? As far as I know, Wagner only told him yesterday that I was coming over today to pay him avisit! Does Master Ghost know about my true identity as well?”

While he had long accepted that artifacts—like the picture of the sun—were capable of predicting thefuture, Gerald truly couldn’t believe that a person could hold such abilities as well!

Quite frankly, the revelation was now causing Gerald to simultaneously feel envious, grateful, andresentful toward the mysterious man.

After all, Master Ghost sounded like a man who was well-versed in everything and always hadeverything under his control. Gerald hated such people, and he was now keen on getting to know thetrue extent of Master Ghost’s strength.

“The master predicted it about a year ago,” replied the apprentice calmly.

Gerald, however, felt his heart skip a beat the moment he heard that.

‘…Since he’s that powerful, I truly have to meet him today!’

“I see. Lead the way, then!” said Gerald as he began following the man into the church.

The first area they stepped into appeared to be a large hall with a statue of God placed right in front forpeople to worship. After walking past that, they entered what appeared to be an inner court of sorts.

This area was filled with fragrances that were emitted from an oil burner, and sitting cross-legged infront of it, was an extremely old-looking man. His eyes closed, the old man appeared to be meditating.

Seeing a tea table before the old man, Gerald realized that the fragrance of tea was also pleasantlymixed with the scent from the oil burner.

The moment he took a step forward, the old man—whose face was filled with wrinkles, slowly raisedhis head before opening both his eyes.

“It’s truly been quite a while, Mr. Gerald Crawford…”

Upon hearing his master’s voice, the apprentice then left the room.

Gerald himself sat cross-legged once he stood before the tea table before asking, “…Did you trulyforesee everything? Truth be told, I’m not quite buying it!”

“Well, not everything… I can only see things in the form of life events,” replied Master Ghost with aslightly bitter smile.

“Then I’m sure you already know why I came here today, right?”

“Indeed. You’re here today to look for some missing people!” said Master Ghost.

“…You’re correct. Look, could you make the appropriate calculations and try to locate the missingpeople I’m still searching for? If your predictions are correct, then I’ll give you anything you want, be itmoney or anything else in the world that you wish for!” replied Gerald.

“Haha! There’s no need to be impatient, Mr. Crawford… Before I do a reading about them, why don’t Ido a reading for you first? A reading for your future, per se. I’ll be honest and say that the slightredness around your forehead isn’t a good sign… In fact, it means that you’re about to face a greatdisaster soon…” said Master Ghost as he looked at Gerald with a smile.

Hearing that, Gerald felt his heart skip another beat. Master Ghost had yet again, predicted accurately.After all, the picture of the sun had predicted the same thing as well. Was the old man truly well-versedin the art of fortune-telling?novelbin

Due to the predicted disaster possibly spelling death for Gerald, he had come all the way out here justto look for the king of the ocean’s palace in hope of solving the secrets of the disaster. What exactlywas the relationship between the woman in white and the deity that looked exactly like him?

“…I’m already aware of what you just told me… Even so, the more important thing for me now is to findout where the people I’m looking for currently are… And also to find out whether they’re still alive,”replied Gerald, finally choosing to believe Master Ghost.

“It seems they hold great importance to you, Mr. Crawford! Very well, then. Let the reading commence,”said Master Ghost with a slight nod.

With a wave of his hand, the drapes above all the doors and windows in the room were instantlylowered. Following that, a portion of the wooden floor in the middle of the room slid open as a giantinstrument slowly rose from below.

The ancient-looking instrument itself seemed to have a frame that was made completely out of copper,and on it, were nine dragons with open mouths. While Gerald remembered seeing a picture of a similarinstrument with pearls in the dragons’ mouths, these dragons had large copper coins in their mouthsinstead.

“Please place your hands on any two of the dragons’ heads,” said Master Ghost.

Gerald simply obeyed, and moments after touching the cold dragon heads, the eyes of all nine of thecopper dragons began glowing in a green light! With how lustrous their eyes were, the nine dragonsalmost seemed to be alive.

As Gerald continued looking at them curiously, he soon heard ‘clinking’ sounds coming from theinstrument.
