The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1616
The first reason he was returning there was to find out more about the God Lord that the man in black had previously mentionedâ¦
Secondly, he wanted to buy a few secret technique talismans.
While secret technique talismans were common in Jaellatra, they were all generally rather pricey. It definitely didnât help that the ones Gerald wanted were of the rarer variantsâ¦
Quite honestly, Gerald had previously thought about learning how to make talismans. In doing so, he would surely be able to save up quite a bit.
Even so, Gerald was aware that talisman making was a very challenging skill to master. With barely any time or energy to spare for that, Gerald simply put the thought aside for now.
Regardless, after flying for about an hour, Gerald arrived at Jaellatra without a hitch. Now that this was his second time here, Gerald no longer found the place to be unfamiliar. In fact, he was able to gather his bearings rather easily, and he could get to the places he wanted toâwithin the cityâquite comfortably.
Either way, it didnât take long for Gerald to arrive at the Zahn familyâs residence. Naturally, he was here to look for Nori Zahn.
Nori had the Zahn family as her backer in Jaellatra, and the Zahns were a considerably prestigious family here. As for why he came looking for it, it was only the natural choice since Nori was the only person he knew in Jaellatra.
Regardless, Gerald was promptly stopped by two guardsâwho were standing guard in front of the Zahn manorâwhen they saw him approaching the Zahn family manorâs gates.
âGood day, may I know who youâre looking for?â asked one of the guards.
âGood day. Iâm a friend of your eldest young lady and Iâve come over to visit! If sheâs home, could you tell her that Gerald Crawford is here to meet her?â replied Gerald with a cheerful smile.
âApologies, but the young lady has gone out!â said the same guard from before.
âGone out? Do you have any idea where she wentâ¦?â asked Gerald.
âIâm afraid not, and the same probably goes for him⦠In the end, weâre just guards of the family! We have no right to know the affairs of the young lady!â
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. There was no reason for the guards to lie to him, so he may as well just head off into the city to try looking for her. With any luck, heâd manage to bump into herâ¦
Still, this girl truly had the worst of timing⦠To think that she wouldnât be home when he finally found the time to come meet her again!
Either way, Gerald soon found himself walking along the busy streets of Earth Capital aloneâ¦
While looking around, Gerald had to admit that this place was far more magnificent compared to any place on earth. With that said, it really was no mystery why Jaellatra was so much richer than earth.
Regardless, Geraldâs train of thought was cut short when he suddenly heard someone saying, âPlease, Nori! Iâm being sincere here, so please just accept me!â
Turning to face the source of the voice, Gerald watched as a man donning a white suit walked out of a luxurious restaurant while desperately pleading to an unimpressed woman who was trying to walk away from him.
It was evident that the woman wasnât interested in him at all, and after closer inspection, Gerald was able to discern that she truly was the Nori that he was looking for! To think that he would actually manage to locate her!
Since she looked like she was currently in a pickle now, Gerald hesitated for a moment before calling out, âNori!â
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Nori instantly turned to see if it really was him⦠Upon realizing that it really was Gerald, her eyes instantly glinted with joy as she exclaimed, âGerald!â
Following that, she quickly ran toward him before embracing him tightly!
Gerald was completely caught off guard by this. After all, this was the last thing that he could have expected Nori to do! Whatever the case was, he was still a married manâ¦
