Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1564

For all he knew, the King of Judgment Portal could very well know a thing or two about all this…

Whatever the case was, Gerald was sure that most of those forces were going to be very strong. Hell, there could even be a person as strong as he was!

Nevertheless, Gerald knew that he still had to save Mila and his family tomorrow. With that in mind, Gerald then closed his eyes, attempting to rest and meditate. Eventually, he lost track of time…

It was sometime later when a loud voice grumbled, “Humph! How could such a big manor like this be completely devoid of people?”

“Indeed! Isn’t this one of Yanam’s top manors? I had honestly expected to see a lot of celebrities here!”

added another person.

Following that, a few youths—both male and female—and a few other Western young masters could be seen entering the venue in a group. Since this manor’s hot springs were rather well-known, those who visited Yanam tended to drop by, which was probably why these people were here in the first place.

“Regardless, to think that the security guard at the door actually claimed that someone had booked this entire place! He’s probably the reason why nobody else has been able to enter!” said a feminine voice.

“Forget about him! Honestly, had he said another word earlier, I would’ve definitely knocked him out!

Regardless, since we’re already here, let’s make sure to enjoy ourselves tonight!” replied one of the young masters.

With how loud they were being, Gerald—who was still trying to relax in the hot springs—found himself frowning slightly. This hot spring manor had been specifically booked by a few families for the sole usage of those from the Sacrasolis Palace. With that in mind, these unsatisfied people were definitely considered to be trespassers.

Had it been anytime else, Gerald would’ve definitely ordered for these people to be kicked out.

However, he really couldn’t be bothered with them at the moment… So be it.

They could have all the fun they wanted as long as they didn’t disturb him!

His mind now made up, Gerald simply continued meditating with his eyes closed…

Due to how unwilling he was to pay any further attention to that group, Gerald failed to notice that at that moment, a pretty girl—who was part of the group—who had been twirling her hair this entire time momentarily appeared astonished when she glanced in his general direction…

After staring his way for a brief moment, she eventually shook her head, figuring that she had seen wrong.

Noticing a change in her expression, one of the guys in the group—who had been standing beside her —then asked, “Is something the matter, Leila?”

“…It’s nothing. I just… thought I saw someone very familiar for a moment there… An old friend from Serene County… Though that couldn’t be, right…?” replied Leila Jung rather uncertainly.

Despite all the girls in the group—inclusive of the few Western women among them—looking extremely attractive, Leila’s mature charm and intellectual beauty still allowed her to outshine the others.

“Hahaha! As if anyone from Serene County would be prestigious enough to travel to this place! Do you even know how much one has to pay just to stay a night in this manor?” replied a bespectacled man who had been listening in to the conversation.

“Again, I most probably saw wrong… Also, not everyone in Serene County is poor, you know? I once had a friend there who came from an extremely rich family… His father had connections with the Jungs, you see… Regardless, while it’s true that he’s rich, he shouldn’t have any reason to be in Yanam… Even if the King of the North is going to enter battle soon, I doubt that the news would’ve even reached his ears! After all, in the end, he’s just a regular rich heir! That event has nothing to do with him!” muttered Leila to herself, recalling that the last Gerald and her had met was at least four years ago…

The present-day Leila had already completed her Ph.D. in Foreign Languages a year prior, and she was now a famous translator in a major company overseas. Due to that, she now mostly came across international celebrities in her daily life. In fact, she had even met higher-ups who were similarly ranked with Presidents before!

With all that in mind, it was evident that Leila no longer saw things the way her younger self did.

Truth be told, she felt like laughing just from reminiscing about him…

To think that all this had started with her utterly looking down on Gerald… Upon later realizing that he was actually a rich heir who was simply keeping a low profile, the young Leila ended up being so regretful that she even felt like dying!

Though she kept trying her best to get Gerald’s heart to be hers after that, he never had his eyes on her… Not even once. That, of course, made her feel dejected, and she fell into a slump for the longest time…

At the time, she figured that as long as she was able to get married to a man who loved her, her life would be complete. Of course, fate worked in mysterious ways, and it eventually granted Leila her wish while she was doing a part-time job as a tour guide… During one of her many shifts, she had come across a gentlemanly foreigner by the name of John…
