The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1517 Naturally, Jenny was swiftly dealt with without much hassle.
Moving back to Gerald, there were simply too many people these days who were looking for an opportunity to approach him.
While it was honestly getting to a point where he found it troublesome, Gerald was thankful that he was going to be staying in the miracle cave on Tierson Mountain for the next few days.
As suggested by its name, the place truly was a miracle, and Gerald found several magic artifacts inside. Even so, it took Gerald three whole days before he was able to find the exact one that Master Ghost had told him to find.
It was a blue elite crystal that was about the size of an adultâs nailâ¦
While he was pleased to have finally found it, Gerald hadnât the slightest idea how to even use it. After observing it for a while, however, he realized that it seemed to contain a very strong and special form of energy within it.
âI wonder why Master Ghost insisted on locating this specific gemâ¦â Gerald thought to himself before continuing to research it.
However, even after a few days had passed, he still didnât have any idea how to utilize it. With that, he concluded that he needed Master Ghostâs help to figure it out.
Knowing Master Ghost, Gerald had a feeling that that man had already foreseen him locating the crystal. In other words, everything was probably going according to how Master Ghost had planned.
Even if that was the case, however, where was Master Ghost even hiding�
Just as Gerald was beginning to worry, Julian walked up to him before saying, âMaster Crawford, Miss Xyrielle from the Waddys family is here! While I had expected her to leave after denying her entry, sheâs been waiting for you outside for an entire day and night! She keeps saying that she has to meet you no matter what!â
ââ¦Hmm? Xyrielle? What is she doing here?â
Naturally knowing who she was, Gerald remembered how indifferently she had behaved every time she was around him. Aside from her birthday banquet, they pretty much had no other reason to meet each other. Even so, if she truly had been waiting for him for an entire day and night, he had no reason not to meet her. Besides, he felt slightly guilty for initially thinking of using her to obtain an admission ticket.
âLet her in, then!â added Gerald with a nod.
With a flick of his wrist, the blue crystal disappeared just as Xyrielle was brought into the backyard.
The moment she saw Gerald, her heart instantly began palpitating as she stuttered, âG-Gerald⦠No-
M-master Crawford!â
Thinking back, she wondered why she had found this person to be so mediocre just a few days agoâ¦
Honestly, hadnât she been acting rather high and mighty before him at the time? To think that she would now be too nervous to even look him in the eye!
Smiling as he turned to look at her, Gerald then asked, âSo⦠Iâm here. Did you want to talk to me about something?â
âY-yes! Though⦠I doubt youâd agree to my requestâ¦â replied Xyrielle in a slightly saddened tone.
She was fully aware that what she wanted to ask from him was slightly impolite, and though she was sure that Gerald wouldâve agreed with it had she not found out about his true identity, now that all this had happened, she wasnât so sure anymore. To make matters worse, her nervousness and inferiority were making it extra hard for her to bring the request up.
âWell, that depends on the request⦠Go onâ¦â said Gerald.
âW-well⦠The thing is, I wanted to ask if you could accompany me on a trip to Sacrasolis Mountainâ¦
B-but I can see now that youâre very busy soâ¦!â replied Xyrielle.
Though she said that, her hopeful eyes clearly betrayed her.
âHmm? Sacrasolis Mountain? Is there a reason youâd like me to accompany you there?â asked Gerald, flashing a slightly wry smile.
ââ¦T-thatâ¦â muttered Xyrielle.
She didnât really know how to explain it without making the request sound absurd. In the end, however, she simply gave up and decided to be straightforward about it.
Essentially, Xyrielle wanted him to accompany her there since she wanted to look for the fortune-teller that she had previously met at the riverside behind that mountain. In other words, she wanted the fortune-teller to determine whether their marriage truly was predestined by fate, despite knowing how ridiculous her motive sounded.
It didnât help that she was well aware that while marriage was the only thing on her mind, Master Crawford was an actual busy person.
