Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 794 Gerald found himself sitting crossed-legged on the port in his resentment.

Nothing else could be done. All he could do was wait for Mila’s return and explain to her what hadhappened the night before when she finally came back.

The rest of the day passed by quickly and before Mila knew it, it was already night. With the sea beingso peaceful as the ocean liner sailed on, even the faintest of sea breezes could be heard.

“That’s enough dwelling on it, don’t you think, Mila? Since we’re all probably tired by now, let’s go get abite!” said Molly as she prepared to go get some food for her.

“Alright…!” replied Mila with a slight nod.

“Now that’s more like it! Still, why did the investigation team have to take our phones away? Howboring!” said Molly who just wasn’t used to not having her phone around her.

“But of course! Private information about the investigation could easily be leaked if we had our phoneswith us! While being strict isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I never thought that they’d even take my watchaway! Humph!” replied Wanda.

“Regardless, while we had been told that we were coming all the way out here to investigate the qualityof the sea, I really doubt that that’s the case, or at least I feel that that’s not our sole mission. After all, Isaw a few fierce-looking people boarding the ship with us earlier who looked like they could very wellbe soldiers. Why would such people be needed in an investigation mission?” said Molly, evidently tryingto distract Mila from her negative thoughts.

“…Huh? What are you getting at?” asked Wanda, slightly astonished.

“Call it a sixth sense which comes with having an elder brother who’s also a soldier. They really didn’tneed to put on such a grand show if their motive was simply to investigate the ocean’s quality. Whatmore, while I was helping to move some things into the conference room earlier, guess what I saw?”replied Molly as she suddenly lowered her voice.

“Go on…” said Mila and Wanda simultaneously as they looked at her. After all, even they had sensedthat the investigation team was somewhat mysterious. The team seemed to have been studyingsomething throughout most of the day.

“I saw a drawing which they must have used during their meeting! It looked like some kind of building…Haha! Wouldn’t it be wild if the investigation team was actually on a mission to locate some underwaterpalace?” said Molly as she laughed out loud.

Instead of laughing along, however, Mila and Wanda could only look at each other in dismay. The wayMolly had said it had made their entire expedition sound and feel much more mysterious than it shouldhave been.

“…You’re not pulling our leg, right?”

“Of course I’m not! There’s no reason for me to lie to both of you! Besides, they noticed that I saw thepicture and they sternly warned me not to say a word about it! I was so terrified that I immediately ranoff!” replied Molly as she stuck her tongue out.

“…Well, the larger picture doesn’t concern us… Let’s just stick to doing the things we were assignedto!” said Mila with a bitter laugh.novelbin

In response, both Wanda and Molly nodded in agreement.

It was at that moment when all three of them heard footsteps coming closer to their room, followed by afew knocks on the door. Upon opening it, they saw Hallie standing outside with her arms crossed.

“What do you want?” asked Molly.

“Professor Shevall wants to hold a meeting, so I’m here to inform you about it!” said Hallie in a ratherreluctant tone.

“Fine, tell him that we’ll be on our way immediately!” replied Molly, a smug smile on her face.

Rolling her eyes, Hallie then left their room.

Professor Winston Shevall was the leader of the operation. He looked to be around seventy and whilehe seemed rather strict, he was also extremely knowledgeable. That made Mila respect him a lot. Fromwhat the girls had heard, he had been in charge of finding a sponsor and forming the investigationteam as well.

After a while, the trio arrived at the conference room for the meeting. Including the three of them, therewere about thirty members in the investigation team. The meeting itself wasn’t anything special.Professor Shevall simply wanted to emphasize the things that they needed to look out for during theexpedition.

Halfway through their meeting, however, Professor Shevall suddenly began coughing terribly. From thatpoint on, he started scratching his neck from time to time.

Since Mila was sitting right beside the professor, her gaze inadvertently fell upon the back of his neck.What Mila saw made her instantly stunned…
