Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1070

“It was a little after dusk back then… Just like how it is now! The sun had already set by then and it was getting increasingly dark… At the time, we came across a river and my father told me that we were going to set up camp there. Once everything was set up, we headed to the river to gather some water for the next day… Approaching the river together, it was then when we saw her!”

As everyone stared wide-eyed at the Master of the Desert, he continued, “Capra Nanny was drinking water by the riverside, and though I wasn’t able to properly see her face under the moonlight, I remember clearly that she had an extremely long tongue and her hair was long and messy.”

“Stopping in our tracks, the old woman raised her head and made eye contact with us. It was only a brief moment, but both her eyes were green! Thankfully, my father snapped me out of it in time as he shouted, ‘Don’t look at her, Billy! Turn around, right this instant!’”

“Upon saying that, my father immediately turned around and knelt on the sand. I did the same, remembering that he had once told me that should one ever come across Capra Nanny, they have to turn their backs against her and never look behind!”

“…What happened after that?” asked one of the tourists.

“Well, she slowly walked over to both me and my father. However, her footsteps were so light that they were barely audible, save for the soft rustling of sand. At that point, childlike voices from behind us began whispering, “Don’t look at her, Billy~! Turn around~! Right this instant~! Of course, I didn’t listen to those sinister-sounding voices. Afterward, my father told me that it was Capra Nanny’s attempt to speak in our language through mimicry!”

“And then? What happened next?” asked someone else.

“And then… Silence. My father and I continued kneeling there without a word…” replied the Master of the Desert.

Following that, everyone in the shelter went dead silent. This was especially so for the girls who were all drenched in cold sweat.

It was thanks to that silence that everyone could suddenly hear the faint sound of feet dragging across sand slowly approaching the shelter!

As everyone turned to look at the entrance, they all stared in horror as a figure slowly got closer and closer!

Anxiety peaking, several of the girls immediately began screaming!

However, the moment they realized that it was just a young man wearing a mask and a cap, the same girls instantly yelled, “You… You scared the living daylight out of us!”

Meredith herself stood up in surprise as she said, “It’s you again!”

True enough, the person who had just made his appearance was none other than Gerald.

Without removing his mask, Gerald then replied, “Well, what a coincidence!”

“It truly is! I was just thinking about you earlier!” said Meredith as she smiled happily while blushing.

Wynn, on the other hand, simply sneered, “Well if it isn’t you again! What happened, huh? Didn’t have anywhere else to go, did you? Or maybe you’re already out of water! I bet you were overjoyed once you saw our carts, right? Haha! What’s wrong, I thought you didn’t need our help!”

“Again, it’s only a mere coincidence!” replied Gerald as he headed to a corner and sat quietly.

“…Hmm? Are Minnie and Juan not back yet…?” asked someone from that group at that moment.

“What? When did they head out?” asked the Master of the Desert.

“Around half an hour ago, I think! They headed out to take some pictures!”

“It’s dangerous to be out there at night! We have to look for them immediately!” ordered the Master of the Desert as a few other people headed out with him.

After searching around while shouting out the names of the two missing people for a while, a few girls suddenly began screaming hysterically!
