Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1652
Following that, Nori began telling her father what had happened on the holy mountain⦠By the end of her tale, even Yoshua found the turn of events slightly hard to believe.
To think that Gerald had sacrificed his safety just to protect the adventure team from those white wolves⦠What a truly heroic actâ¦
Patting his daughterâs back, Yoshua then consoled, âDonât worry, Nori. Gerald will definitely make it back safely!â
Nodding in response, Nori hoped with all her heart that Gerald would make a safe return as wellâ¦
Meanwhile in Magic Land, Gerald himself was having a meal while chatting with June, completely oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.
Not even knowing how anxiously Nori and the others were awaiting his return, Gerald took a sip of tea before looking toward June and asking, âSpeaking of which⦠Have you been guarding this place this entire time? Could it be that youâve never left this place beforeâ¦?â
Shaking her head in response, June then said, âIâd love to go out myself, honestly⦠Unfortunately, Iâm simply unable to do so!â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
âCall it a⦠barrier of sorts. A barrier made just for me⦠Since Iâve been given the responsibility of guarding Magic Land, Iâm incapable of going past that barrier⦠Not to worry though, anyone aside from me can still go past itâ¦â replied June as she sighed.
Living here alone for so long without even the slightest contact with the outside world⦠It mustâve been painfulâ¦
While Gerald couldnât quite pinpoint how much pain June was in when she said that, he could tell that she really wanted to leave this placeâ¦
Even so, Gerald personally hoped that June wouldnât enter the outside world. After all, things out there were much more dangerous and viler compared to the conditions within Magic Land. While thinking about that, Gerald also found himself hoping that other outsiders wouldnât be able to find this place.
After all, with so many thousand-year-old panax ginsengs here, their discovery by the public would definitely cause a massive uproar. To prevent all that chaos in the first place, it was best that some things remained unfound and subsequently unchangedâ¦
Late into the night, Geraldâwho had been leaning against his chair for a whileâeventually dozed offâ¦
It was a nice, calming slumber, and Gerald hadnât felt this comfortable in quite a whileâ¦
It was around dawn when he was awoken by Juneâs voice saying, âAre you awakeâ¦?â
Opening his eyes, Gerald saw that June was sitting before him.
âI am now⦠Youâre quite the early bird as well I seeâ¦â replied Gerald.
âIndeed. Regardless, since youâre already awake, letâs get you out of this placeâ¦,â said June.
Having no objections to that, it suddenly came across Geraldâs mind that he had technically been âmissingâ for the entire night ever since he fell into the valley. With that in mind, he was now worried about how anxious Nori and the others must be feeling at the moment.
Whatever the case was, once they were outside Juneâs house, she took his hand before leaping together with him, soaring high into the skyâ¦
Eventually, both of them landed before a small boulevard of sortsâ¦
Pointing at the boulevard, June then said, âYou can leave by walking through here.â
âI see⦠Thank you for everything!â replied Gerald in a gratuitous tone before walking into the boulevardâ¦
As he walked on, the scene before him seemed to suddenly warp⦠and all of a sudden, he realized that he was no longer in Magic Land! Looking around, Gerald found that he was now in a forest at the foot of the holy mountainâ¦
Though mystified, Gerald knew that he had to keep this location a secret for as long as he livedâ¦
With that, he then began walking out of the forest. It wasnât too long after when he arrived before the temporary camp. Surprisingly, the exit was this close to the camp!
Standing before the camp, Gerald saw that Quest and the others were seriously discussing something insideâ¦
It took them a while to realize, but eventually, Nori found herself compelled to look out of the tent⦠and once she did, her eyes instantly widened. Gerald⦠he was standing thereâ¦
He was safeâ¦!
