Chapter 1352
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1352 âWith that in mind, I hope you now understand what Iâve constantly been worrying about! His rapid progression in strength is a clear warning that action must be taken!â added Yreth, a solemn expression on her face.
Hearing that, Yumeâwhose mouth had been gaping wide for a while in her dumbfounded stateâcould only nod her head in agreement.
After being granted all this knowledge, Yume truly felt like the door to a whole new world had just been opened to her. After a brief silence, she then asked, âThen⦠What are the origins of our family, grandmaâ¦? Aside from that, Iâm also curious about the great masters that managed to escape the great civilization of antiquity⦠Where did they end up running off toâ¦?â
âOh, they escaped all over the place! While some of those great masters remained here on earth, most of them chose to escape to someplace known as Jaellatra instead. After all, there are enough holy spirits there to relatively sufficiently sustain them!â
ââ¦Jaellatra? Where is it? Could it be someplace not on earthâ¦?â asked Yume curiously.
Shaking her head, Yreth then replied, âWhile itâs a place on earth, itâs located within a narrow gap on this planet! Very few people are able to make it into that gap, and once inside, itâs even more difficult to leave!â
âAs for the start of our familyâs great history, it began when one of our ancestors accidentally discovered some miracles that were left behind some tens of thousands of years ago. It was also around then when they inherited something great, and after passing it down throughout the generations, the Gunters eventually ended up becoming one of the most influential families in the world!â
ââ¦I see! I seem to understand everything a little better now!â replied Yume with a nod, feeling that she had now gained a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
âIâm glad to hear that. Now then, since you already see the bigger picture, I believe you wonât continue hindering me from doing anything in the future, right? After all, since things have already gotten to this point, there really isnât any turning back anymore. Even if we hypothetically choose not to deal with Gerald in the future, he still isnât going to be letting our family off. In case you havenât noticed, the Gunters have already been living through a crisis ever since we boarded ship. With that said, now that you know that the lives of hundreds of innocent Gunter family members are on the line, I hope youâre sensible enough not to continue being enchanted by such fruitless and futile loveâ¦â said Yreth, slight frustration in her voice.
ââ¦To be completely honest, grandma, from what Iâve seen, Gerald isnât a cruel or ruthless person at all.
Since we havenât fallen out with one another yet, perhaps there is still a way to make peace with him once we share everything that we know!â
âHah! Youâre dead wrong there! You barely understand him at all, especially since heâs changed so much from the last time youâve met! Regardless, there isnât anything else to say about this anymore.
After leaving this room, I hope youâll obediently remain inside our manor. Please donât make me have to worry about you any more than I need to!â replied Yreth as she waved her hand, signaling for her granddaughter to leave the room.
Though Yume clearly looked like she still had more to say, seeing how reluctant her grandmother seemed to continue talking, she chose to leave for the meantime instead.
The second the door to the secret chamber closed, an almost ethereal voice suddenly said, âIt was wrong of you to tell her about our affairs⦠This could easily be the eventual cause of your precious granddaughterâs death! You know how foolish women can be after falling in love! Thereâs a high possibility that sheâll end up messing up our plans due to how much she loves him!â
âI know my granddaughter well, and Iâm only trying to help her. Sheâs never fallen in love before this, which is why I told her everything so that she can finally understand how powerful Gerald truly is! If I had chosen not to tell her, then that ignorant and foolish girl would surely do something stupid for him, ultimately ruining all our plans! Telling her all that was my way of showing how large a gap there was between Gerald and herself. Hopefully thatâll lead to her finally giving up on him!â
âAs for you. Youâre the one who got us entangled in this situation in the first place. If you donât fulfill your promise to our family at the end of the day, then Iâll never let you off, not even after I die and turn into a ghost!â
