The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1893
Naturally, that statement made both Juno and Rey rather surprised. Even so, Juno was quick to recover and simply went with it.
Rey himself hadnât expected Gerald to take his side instead of ratting him out.
With that, after Gerald ended the call, Rey couldnât help but look at Gerald for a while before muttering, âUm⦠Mr. Crawford-â
âThereâs no need to say anything. Youâre already here anyway so letâs just make the most of it.
Regardless, please hold your tongue as much as possible once we get there. And please listen to my orders if I give any to you!â replied Gerald, not even waiting for Reyâs sentence to finish.
âG-got it, Mr. Crawford! Donât worry, Iâll be extremely obedient!â declared Rey as he nodded rapidly.
At that moment, Yannâwho was still drivingâcouldnât help but smile as he said, âYou know, you have a rather fine disciple, Gerald. After all, heâs worried enough about you to sneak over!â
âHah! Heâs just someone who makes me worry all the time!â scowled Gerald in a playful tone.
Realizing that Gerald was grinning, Reyâat the very leastâknew that Gerald wasnât angry with him anymore. With that, Rey couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief as he embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.
Truth be told, Rey very much preferred gaining knowledge of the world by participating in adventures with Gerald rather than simply training indoors. While it was true that danger was aplenty out in the open world, Rey truly believed that adventuring was the best way for him to gain more experience.
Whatever the case was, since even Yann was now talking, Gerald figured that it was as good a time as any to introduce Rey to him.
âSpeaking of which, this man goes by Yann, Rey. You can choose to address him as Mr. Williams or Brother Yann,â said Gerald.
âA pleasure to meet you, Brother Yann! My name is Rey!â replied Rey with a smile.
âGot it!â said Yann before chuckling in response.
âNow that thatâs out of the way⦠By estimation, how long should it take for us to get to Mount Dakriontâ¦?â asked Gerald as he looked at Yann.
Before Yann could even reply, Rey beat him to it by saying, âIâve already checked the route in advance, Mr. Crawford! From the highway entrance, it should take approximately six hours before we get there Following that, Rey showed his phone to Gerald, and displayed on it, was a navigation system. Rey himself had keyed in Mount Dakriont as their destination the second they got into the car.
Nodding in response, Gerald then muttered, âSix hours, huh⦠Thatâs going to take quite a whileâ¦
Guess Iâll take a short nap first.â
There really wasnât much else to do in the car for six hours, so he may as well get some shut-eye.
Watching as Gerald leaned against his seat before lowering it slightly and promptly falling asleep, Rey decided to do the same. After all, in order to hide in the trunk, he had woken up much earlier than Gerald, which explained why he had been sleepy for a while now. Regardless, upon realizing that the two had dozed off so quickly, Yann could only chuckle in a slightly bitter tone. After all, being the driver, he couldnât exactly rest like the duo. Thankfully, he was used to driving for much longer, so he knew he could handle six hours just fineâ¦
It was around three when Gerald and the others finally left the highway and arrived at Mount Dakriont.
Mount Dakrinot itself was a scenic traveling spot that didnât have its own city. Aside from its unique geographical location, Mount Dakriont was also famous for how spacious it was. This was made evident by the fact that at a glance, Mount Dakriont didnât even seem to have an endâ¦
Either way, for those who came all the way up here for trips, five days was usually the minimum. After all, it was a well-known fact that nobody would be able to truly enjoy their experience here if they only stayed for a single day.
