Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1592
Even so, no matter how far Yusef went, Fezrumoz simply continued pursuing him!
Seeing that running wasnât doing him any good, Yusef then shouted, âYou b*stard! How dare you!
Continue chasing me and Iâll burn those swaddling clothes of yours! Once I do that, your pitiful child wonât even have any bones left behind! You wouldnât want that, would you?!â
According to the rumors that Yusef had heard before, one didnât need to panic or run whenever they bumped into Fezrumoz. The only thing one needed to do to scare the beast off was declare that they would snatch the zombieâs swaddling clothes if it came any closer.
While it should have stopped Fezrumoz from attacking any further, the zombie only began attacking even more viciously after hearing Yusef say that! Yusefâs words seemed to have only infuriated it even more!
âWhat the hell? Why arenât you stopping?!â grumbled Yusef with a frown.
In his state of panic, he turned to look at Gerald and Nori⦠Only to realize that both of them had already made their escape! There was no way he was going to be able to pursue them any further!
At that moment, he turned to look at what he was holding⦠and it was then when he finally realized what Geraldâs âsecret weaponâ was.
âYou⦠You mothercking bstardâ¦! No wonder Fezrumoz is being this murderous! You tossed me the swaddling clothes of the baby that it adored most!â cursed Yusef as he glared in the direction that Gerald had initially been standing in.
Though the now sweaty Yosef wanted to curse even more profanities, Fezrumoz was still chasing him, and the man knew better than to waste his breath.
It was sometime later when Nori asked, âWe⦠should be near the Primocorose, right, Geraldâ¦?â
With both of them now walking around in the darkened valley, Gerald then replied, âIf the mapâs directions are accurate, then we should be arriving soon. Even so, weâd best take a rest in the valley first. Iâm injured now and I donât wish to place myself in danger yet. We can look for the Primocorose tomorrow.â
Thankfully, both of them found a cave, and after Gerald made sure it was safe inside, both of them then entered to stay the night.
Sometime later, Gerald was sitting cross-legged, slowly allowing his body to heal when he suddenly heard Nori say in a softened voice, âUm⦠Could you do me a favor, Geraldâ¦?â
âWhat is it?â asked Gerald as he opened his eyes.
ââ¦Well⦠thereâs a pool over there⦠and weâve been traveling for quite some time now so⦠I was wondering if I could take a showerâ¦â muttered Nori as her face blushed slightly.
âGo on ahead. You donât have to worry about me peeking!â replied Gerald as he shook his head with a bitter smile.
ââ¦But⦠That poolâs simply too close to this place! Iâm not saying you will, but temptationâs a thing, you know? Weâre talking about a woman taking a shower here! Thereâs no way I can do that with you so close by!â mumbled Nori as her cheeks reddened even more.
Staring back at her, Gerald felt that this woman really was something else⦠At times she was rather stingy, and during others, she was honestly quite righteous⦠Then there were the times where she could be rather annoying. This moment was a perfect example of that.
Shaking his head, Gerald then asked, âFine, what do you want me to do then?â
âIâd⦠like you to lend me your shirt for a while! Iâll be using it as a curtain between us!â explained Nori.
Sighing as he shook his head again, Gerald then did as she suggested before closing his eyes again to rest.
In the end, however, Gerald still ended up frowning slightly when he heard the soft crinkles of Nori undressing herself. He was still a man, after all, and he was unable to remain calm for much longer.
Upon opening his eyes, he subconsciously turned to look in Noriâs direction⦠However, what he saw shocked him.
âNori!â shouted Gerald as he instantly got to his feet.
âWha- Gerald! You promised you wouldnât look!â shrieked the now angered woman.
âLook, just hurry over!â instructed Gerald.
Thankfully, Nori had only taken off her coat by that point, and after covering herself, she instantly stomped toward him before angrily grumbling, âYou better have a good explanation for this!â
Looking at the furious womanâs face, Gerald simply sighed before saying, âJust⦠turn around and look for yourself! Thereâs some kind of figure hovering above the pool!â
