Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1517

Naturally, Jenny was swiftly dealt with without much hassle.

Moving back to Gerald, there were simply too many people these days who were looking for anopportunity to approach him.

While it was honestly getting to a point where he found it troublesome, Gerald was thankful that he wasgoing to be staying in the miracle cave on Tierson Mountain for the next few days.

As suggested by its name, the place truly was a miracle, and Gerald found several magic artifactsinside. Even so, it took Gerald three whole days before he was able to find the exact one that MasterGhost had told him to find.

It was a blue elite crystal that was about the size of an adult’s nail…

While he was pleased to have finally found it, Gerald hadn’t the slightest idea how to even use it. Afterobserving it for a while, however, he realized that it seemed to contain a very strong and special form ofenergy within it.

‘I wonder why Master Ghost insisted on locating this specific gem…’ Gerald thought to himself beforecontinuing to research it.

However, even after a few days had passed, he still didn’t have any idea how to utilize it. With that, heconcluded that he needed Master Ghost’s help to figure it out.

Knowing Master Ghost, Gerald had a feeling that that man had already foreseen him locating thecrystal. In other words, everything was probably going according to how Master Ghost had planned.

Even if that was the case, however, where was Master Ghost even hiding…?

Just as Gerald was beginning to worry, Julian walked up to him before saying, “Master Crawford, MissXyrielle from the Waddys family is here! While I had expected her to leave after denying her entry,she’s been waiting for you outside for an entire day and night! She keeps saying that she has to meetyou no matter what!”

“…Hmm? Xyrielle? What is she doing here?”

Naturally knowing who she was, Gerald remembered how indifferently she had behaved every time shewas around him. Aside from her birthday banquet, they pretty much had no other reason to meet eachother. Even so, if she truly had been waiting for him for an entire day and night, he had no reason not tomeet her. Besides, he felt slightly guilty for initially thinking of using her to obtain an admission ticket.

“Let her in, then!” added Gerald with a nod.

With a flick of his wrist, the blue crystal disappeared just as Xyrielle was brought into the backyard.

The moment she saw Gerald, her heart instantly began palpitating as she stuttered, “G-Gerald… No-M-master Crawford!”

Thinking back, she wondered why she had found this person to be so mediocre just a few days ago…Honestly, hadn’t she been acting rather high and mighty before him at the time? To think that she wouldnow be too nervous to even look him in the eye!

Smiling as he turned to look at her, Gerald then asked, “So… I’m here. Did you want to talk to me aboutsomething?”

“Y-yes! Though… I doubt you’d agree to my request…” replied Xyrielle in a slightly saddened tone.novelbin

She was fully aware that what she wanted to ask from him was slightly impolite, and though she wassure that Gerald would’ve agreed with it had she not found out about his true identity, now that all this

had happened, she wasn’t so sure anymore. To make matters worse, her nervousness and inferioritywere making it extra hard for her to bring the request up.

“Well, that depends on the request… Go on…” said Gerald.

“W-well… The thing is, I wanted to ask if you could accompany me on a trip to Sacrasolis Mountain…B-but I can see now that you’re very busy so…!” replied Xyrielle.

Though she said that, her hopeful eyes clearly betrayed her.

“Hmm? Sacrasolis Mountain? Is there a reason you’d like me to accompany you there?” asked Gerald,flashing a slightly wry smile.

“…T-that…” muttered Xyrielle.

She didn’t really know how to explain it without making the request sound absurd. In the end, however,she simply gave up and decided to be straightforward about it.

Essentially, Xyrielle wanted him to accompany her there since she wanted to look for the fortune-tellerthat she had previously met at the riverside behind that mountain. In other words, she wanted thefortune-teller to determine whether their marriage truly was predestined by fate, despite knowing howridiculous her motive sounded.

It didn’t help that she was well aware that while marriage was the only thing on her mind, MasterCrawford was an actual busy person.
