Chapter 1718
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1718 âYou wonât be able to!â Itâs far too risky! Keep in mind that the Hulkeroic Union is actively looking for us right now! With that in mind, if you go back to look for him, youâll be caught in no time!â Juno replied almost instantly.
âWith all due respect, Miss Zorn, if heâs dead, we wonât have the will to live in the first place!â Ray stated emphatically.
Ray and Nori had already bolted back, retracing their steps, before Juno could even respondâ¦
Juno could only sigh helplessly when she saw this. Despite this, she couldnât deny that she was slightly moved. Gerald had a lot of good and loyal friendsâ¦
Regardless, after a long search for Gerald, Ray and Nori eventually arrived at the cliff from which Gerald leaped⦠And, to their horror, they noticed Geraldâs jade pendant lying nearby on a stoneâ¦!
Nori remained silent for a moment, her heart skipping a beat, before tears streamed down her cheeksâ¦
ââ¦No⦠It⦠Nori muttered to herself, quickly picking up the jade pendant before staring in disbelief at the abyss beneath themâ¦
But, because the jade pendant was so close to the edge of the cliff, Geraldâ¦
Ray patted Nori on the shoulder and said, âCalm down, Nori.â Gerald is going to be fine. Have faith in himâ¦â
It was difficult, but they both managed to convince themselves that Gerald was still alive for a brief moment. They waited patiently by the cliff for him after thatâ¦
As the hours passed, however, it became increasingly difficult to bear. Finally, the two shook their heads and walked away from the cliff, completely dejectedâ¦
Juno knew something terrible had happened to Gerald when she saw how depressed they looked when they finally returned to the forest. Her fears were confirmed when she noticed that Ray was holding his jade pendant.
ââ¦Miss Zorn⦠Gerald⦠Heâs most likely fallen off a cliffâ¦! We say that because the only place we could find his pendant was near a cliffâ¦â Ray grumbled as he showed her the pendant in a gloomy tone.
Junoâs heart sank when she heard that. She paused for a moment before reaching out to take the pendant from his grip and saying, ââ¦
Letâs start by going back to my house. We canât just give up at this point! After all, just because we havenât found him yet doesnât mean heâs no longer alive!â
ââ¦You are correct, Miss Zorn! We donât think heâll go down without a fight! He is, without a doubt, still alive! Nori, cheer up! Remember, we have to believe in him!â Ray exclaimed as he tried to cheer Nori up.
Nori slowly raised her head and gave a firm nod when she heard that.
Juno took advantage of the fact that Nori was feeling a little better and ordered, âThatâs the spirit!â
Regardless, we should get out of here as soon as possible. Weâre not in the best of places, so weâd better get back to base before the Hulkeroic Union finds us!â
Juno quickly led the others back to her house after thatâ¦
Gerald was later discovered unconscious beside a black-robed and mysterious-looking old manâ¦
Their faces were lit by a fire that the old man had started, and they were protected from the elements by stone walls all around them.
Gerald slowly opened his eyes not long afterâ¦
He exhaled a sigh of relief when he realised he was still alive. He quickly realised, however, that he wasnât alone.
He wondered who the old man was, frowning slightly as he looked at the person sitting by the fire. Was it he who had rescued him�
ââ¦
Who⦠are youâ¦? âDid you come to my rescueâ¦?â
