Chapter 1349
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1349 “…Who is he…?” asked Yume, her eyes turning serious.
From the moment she had first met him, Yume could already tell that Gerald was no ordinary person.While it was true that Gerald was the heir of the wealthiest and most influential family on the planet, hergrandmother still wouldn’t have needed to devise so many tactics and traps just to capture him if hewas merely a regular person. Hell, her grandmother even ended up colluding with the Judgment Portaljust to deal with Gerald!
All this begged a question. Though it was true that Gerald’s current training far exceeded that of hispeers, Yreth could most probably deal with him easily. In other words, there really wasn’t a need forthose from the Judgment Portal—who were even stronger compared to Yume’s family—to collude withthe Gunters just to deal with Gerald. After all, what need was there to join forces if both parties wereclearly capable enough to capture him on their own?
With that in mind, it was no wonder why Yreth’s words aroused Yume’s curiosity.novelbin
Nodding, Yreth then sighed before saying, “…Very well! Come along with me!”
Following that, Yreth led Yume to her exclusive secret room which Yume knew was a forbidden areathat only the current head of the Gunter family was allowed to enter. Upon arriving there, Yreth gentlytouched a mechanism which resulted in the door to the room being slowly opened.
Upon taking a single step into the room, Yreth triggered bright lights to suddenly flare to life,illuminating the initial darkness of what laid beyond the door. As Yume followed closely behind hergrandmother, she now realized that the door led to a massive hall that was at least four hundred squaremeters. Aside from that, it was also noteworthy that the stone walls surrounding the hall were made outof bluestone.
Regardless, after walking for a while, both of them eventually stood before a large coffin that wasplaced atop a high platform that lay in the middle of what seemed to be a lobby.
The coffin itself looked slightly strange, to say the least. It resembled a crystal eternal coffin, and thebottom of it was somehow levitating in the air. While the inside of the coffin wasn’t all that clear, Yumecould still clearly discern that inside it was the corpse of a woman.
After staring curiously at the woman for some time, Yume eventually realized that there was muchmore to awe in the room.
For one, bookshelves were sticking against every wall in the room, and each of them was filled to thebrim with the Gunter family’s most precious secret books. Aside from that, there was also an incensestand—which currently held several burning incense sticks—at the northernmost wall, and placedupright near it, was a piece of jade. Taking a step forward, Yume also noticed the presence of a bigalchemy cauldron, its current contents exuding all sorts of colorful lights that honestly looked a bitstrange and creepy.
Now at peak curiosity, Yume found herself saying, “Grandma…!”
“Since this is the first time you’re stepping into this place, it can’t be helped that you’d be a little curious.Regardless, this here is the secret room where our family keeps our most mysterious and prizedpossessions. While by right, only the Gunter head is allowed to even step into this room, I’m making anexception for you today!” stated Yreth rather casually.
Hearing that, Yume gulped before asking, “This… coffin…. Could it be holding the ancient corpse ofthat woman that we were previously searching for at the bottom of the ocean…?”
“That’s her, alright!”
