Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1891
âNegative, you just stay here this time. Iâll be heading there with Yann!â replied Gerald as he looked at the trio.
âBut⦠Mr. Crawford-â
âLook, I know you want to come with me to see and learn more of the world, Rey, but not this time.
After all, none of us know what dangers await us at Mount Dakriont. There are simply too many risks involved! With that in mind, please just stay here and train with Miss Zorn for the moment!â replied Gerald before Rey could even finish his sentence. In the end, Rey was still an ordinary person, which meant that his capabilities were vastly different compared to Geraldâs. With that in mind, Gerald had only said all that earlier since he truly was worried for Reyâs sake.
Besides, staying here to train with Juno would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Rey. By taking the time to properly train and learn about being a cultivator, Rey would definitely be able to solve problems together with Geraldâinstead of simply being a sidekickâin the future.
Regardless, understanding where Gerald was coming from, Rey knew that it was best for him to simply agree.
Either way, once Rey agreed, Gerald turned to face Juno before adding, âAs you may already have guessed, Iâll be leaving everything in the office to you, Juno. If thereâs anything youâre unsure about while Iâm gone, we can discuss it once I return!â
Nodding in response, Juno then replied, âRoger that! Donât worry about me!â
Juno, for one, didnât mind Geraldâs delegation of tasks. After all, it was the only way she would be able to support him.
âVâll take your word for it! Now then⦠both of you! Continue your training! As for Juno⦠Iâd like to speak to you in private for a bitâ¦â said Gerald, prompting Rey and Yrsa to resume training and Juno to walk over to the side with the youth.
Once they were out of earshot, Juno couldnât help but ask, ââ¦Gerald⦠are you really sure that youâre going to cooperate with the Sun Groupâ¦? I personally donât think theyâre all that reliableâ¦!â Smiling subtly in response, Gerald knew where Junoâs worries were coming from. Even so, he simply shook his head before replying, âDonât worry, those from the Sun Group wonât be able to even touch me.
Regardless, Iâm heading there in the first place to search for an important thing⦠Remember that picture of a lady that weâve been trying to track down all this time? I have a hunch that itâs going to appear at Mount Dakriont! With that in mind, I need to head there to see for myself!â
âI see⦠Still, do be careful⦠Those from the Sun Group definitely have hidden agendasâ¦â muttered the concerned Juno.
Simply nodding in response, Gerald then smiled as he gently patted her on the backâ¦
At that moment, Geraldâs phone began ringing. It was a call from Yannâ¦
Already having a pretty good guess that Yann was calling to tell him that the departure time had been decided, Gerald simply stared at the phone for a few seconds before eventually picking it up and saying, âHello? Yes, Yann?â
âAh, there you are, Gerald. Tyeâs updated me on the departure time. We have to be at the highway entrance by nine tomorrow morning!â replied Yann.
âGot it. See you there before nine, then!â said Gerald before hanging up.
âTomorrow morning? Youâre heading off so soon, Geraldâ¦2â asked the surprised Juno.
âIndeed. From the looks of it, those from the Sun Group simply canât wait any longer!â replied Gerald.
âWell, I suppose thatâs that. Regardless, again, please be careful out thereâ¦!â said Juno with a sigh, not wanting to nag any furtherâ¦
Soon enough, night fell and by then, Gerald had pretty much packed everything that he needed. While he had only packed four sets of clothes, the rest of his luggage consisted of equipment that he would possibly use during the journey.
After all, nobody knew what hurdles they would encounter during the journey, so all Gerald could do was prepare everything relevant that he could think of so that he wouldnât regret being underprepared halfway through the journeyâ¦
