Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1579
With a loud ‘thud’ the stone door finally opened fully, and out stepped Gerald…
While his appearance hadn’t changed by much in the past five years, there was a notable change in histemperament. If one had to describe it, he now had the unambiguous aura of a superior.novelbin
“Master!” shouted everyone present as they bowed deeply toward him.
Nodding slightly, Gerald then turned to look at the pleased Mila who was unable to hold herself fromsaying, “You’ve finally returned, Gerald…!”
“Indeed. Even so, I’ll have to speed up my training. Otherwise, I won’t be able to deal with the repeatedattacks from the Ringmasters of Obliteration and those Chakra Kings!” replied Gerald.
“You’re currently exuding an extraordinary aura, master… Could it be that you’ve managed to becomean Eighth-rank Chakra King…?” asked Carlos who was amazed by the immense change that hesensed within Gerald.
“I have. With the help of the source of the holy spirits, I was actually able to break through the Eighth-rank about half a year ago. Sadly enough, I haven’t been able to improve any further in the latter half ofthe year!”
Being the highest rank in the realm, it was naturally never going to be easy for anyone to become aNinth-rank Chakra King, not even for Gerald who learned it the hard way. After all, he wasn’t able toprogress at all, even after training for six months!
Truth be told, Gerald had almost been blinded by hatred on several occasions during his seclusion. Healso frequently doubted whether he would ever be able to enter the ninth rank.
After all, in his previous training, even if it went slow, Gerald would’ve at least felt a sense ofprogression. While trying to ascend to the ninth rank, however, it almost felt as though he was sinkingdeeper and deeper into the sea. In other words, it felt as though his training wasn’t producing anyresults at all, and the thought of it alone made him anxious!
Thinking back to when he had first found the map leading to the Primocorose’s location, Geraldremembered how he had planned to find the plant after breaking through the ninth rank. Once found,he would then create an advancement pill before using it to enter the legendary Sage Realm.
Following that, Gerald hoped that he would finally have the right to speak before the Ringmasters ofObliteration…
Unfortunately, the fruitless year had mercilessly tugged Gerald back to reality… If it was already thishard to get to the ninth rank, then getting to the Sage Ream was surely going to be impossible!
Shaking the thought off, Gerald then asked, “So, did anything noteworthy happen during myseclusion?”
Upon hearing that question, the ten elders instantly lowered their heads…
After a while, Master Ghost finally said, “…About a year ago, the Quartermains sent their men toattempt to recapture Miss Smith… They also added that if you keep on…”
Realizing Master Ghost’s hesitation, Gerald then frowned before asking, “Keep on what?”
The Quartermains were the family that had taken Mila in at the time, and they were also a verypowerful family within Jaellatra. Over the years, they had supported many forces on earth…
Daryl himself had only been able to locate Mila due to the fact that he had secretly been colluding withthem
With all that in mind, it really wasn’t all that unexpected for the Quartermains to keep trying to get Milaback.
While that itself was a minor setback, the real issue was that the Sun League itself was backing theQuartermains.
Knowing that, Gerald was rightfully worried. It was also the reason why he kept trying to speed up histraining. After all, he was still a little too weak within their presence.
“…They said… that if you carried on being stubborn, they wouldn’t continue sending their small fries atus anymore… Instead, they’d send true masters from Jaellatra to finish you off, once and for all!”replied Master Ghost truthfully.
“…I see,” said Gerald, his frown deepening.
