Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1473

“I appreciate that!” replied Yul as he sipped on the juice before starting to eat. It was evident that he was still being extremely wary with his actions and words…

Noticing that, Gerald simply smiled before saying, “Still, didn’t you just receive three hundred thousand dollars…? Why are you still being so hard on yourself? By that, I’m referring to the fact that you were only eating steamed buns with pickles when Perla and I found you!”

“I… don’t dare to use the money… Though, I don’t mind handing the money over to you, if that’s what you want!” replied Yul.

Shaking his head with a smile, Gerald simply said, “We’re not here for your money, Yul. We’re here to ask you how you got your hands on the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like you were the one who had made the plan to auction it off in the first place!”

Pondering for a moment, Yul eventually raised his head before saying, “…I… I’m really sorry, but I can’t tell you that… Look, if it’s money you’re after, you can just take it…! I was simply running an errand!”

Seeing that Yul was too frightened to even eat at this point, Gerald then cautiously asked, “There really isn’t a need to be so nervous, brother… Again, we aren’t looking for trouble. Let me rephrase my question… Did the other party say anything else after handing you the whisk?”

After hesitating for a moment, Yul replied, “…A young friend from the south will be coming over!”

“Hey now, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to change the subject again? Have some respect for my master!” scowled Perla.

“…Oh? A young friend from the south, you say… Could that friend of his have the surname of Crawford…? A Crawford living in Northbay?” asked Gerald with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Yul’s eyes instantly widened as he said, “You… You know about the Crawfords from Northbay, brother? Then… Could you perhaps be…?”

“My name is Gerald Crawford, and yes, I’m from Northbay. Getting straight to the point, I’m here today to look for Master Ghost, the owner of the whisk!” explained Gerald.

Instantly wiping his mouth, Yul then exclaimed, “So you really are him! My benefactor had told me that a person called Gerald Crawford would definitely come looking for me soon to inquire about the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk! Now that I know that you’re the real deal, he’s also told me to hand you a letter!”

From that alone, it was obvious that Yul had been extremely cautious with what he had chosen to disclose, up till the point he realized that Gerald was the person he had been waiting for.

“Benefactor?” asked Gerald.

“While I’m not sure whether my benefactor is the same person as Master Ghost, I do know that he was the one who had saved both me and my family from dying back then… Following that, he had entrusted me with this matter, and from that day on, I’ve been patiently waiting for your arrival!” replied Yul happily as he retrieved a letter from his pocket—that appeared to have been personally sewn onto his clothes—before handing it to Gerald.

“Here it is!” added the pleased boy as Gerald took the letter from the boy. On the letter, were the words, ‘To a young friend of mine, Gerald Crawford!’

Recognizing Master Ghost’s handwriting, Gerald quickly found himself equally as delighted as Yul was.

Opening the letter, he instantly began reading its contents.

As it turned out, Master Ghost truly was in the Jenna Province. What more, Master Ghost had apparently also figured out the next step of his plan even before the first time Gerald had scaled Langvern Mountain alone!

Regardless, upon abandoning the church back then, Master Ghost had hurried over to the Jenna Province. Based on what he had written in the letter, Master Ghost had done so specifically because of Gerald. According to him, he truly believed that Gerald was the person he had been waiting for all these years. With that in mind, he wanted to leave Gerald a lavish gift as soon as he arrived at the Jenna Province!

However, even though he managed to predict quite a bit of his future, there was always a chance that the things he foretold could get altered.

Not knowing what other dangers awaited him, Master Ghost had made sure to lay low in order to increase his success of avoiding the many pursuits from a force.

Either way, Master Ghost also made it a point to repeatedly mention the underground festival that the Waddys were hosting, adding that if Gerald managed to participate in it, he would surely benefit greatly!

After reading through the entire letter, Gerald found himself muttering, “Why do I feel that there are some things I can’t seem to grasp from Master Ghost’s letter…?”

Hearing that, Zenny—who had also been reading the letter this entire time—said, “There really isn’t anything to be puzzled about, Gerald! After reading through it, it appears that you’re going to be my master in the future! Actually, allow me to rephrase that! You’re going to end up becoming my master’s master!”
