The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2266
The truth was, Gerald hadnât even looked at the Devotion Mirror from the second he got it. He had simply been too busy to unravel its mysteries. What more, the mirror wasnât exactly as important as Lucian wouldâve liked to believe, though Gerald knew better than to tell him that. After all, an enraged Lucian would only spell more trouble for him.
âOh please, your talentâs exceptional, mister! After all, youâre the first person whoâs been able to retrieve the mirror from the cave! Since youâve even obtained recognition from my ancestors, I have reason to believe that itâs only a matter of time before you uncover its mysteries,â declared Lucian as he shook his head, making it clear that he trusted the Devotion Mirrorâs choice.
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely share what lies within the mirror ifI manage to crack the code,â replied Gerald with a hearty laugh.
âIf you manage to do so, youâll truly be a great benefactor to my family!â declared Lucian, his eyes glimmering with hope.
According to his familyâs ancestral records, anyone who managed to grasp the meaning of the mirror would gain supreme skills and cultivation that would then grant them easier access in becoming a top cultivator. With that said, if Gerald succeeded in decoding the mirror, then the Grubbs would easily become the largest and strongest family in the entirety of Yanam! Actually, since all the cultivators in their family would be able to max out their cultivation by then, forget Yanam, theyâd become the strongest cultivating family in the cultivation realm!
Regardless, Gerald then replied, âItâs already an honor to be given the chance to inspect this mirrorâ¦â
Throughout their conversation, Gerald had kept tabs on Lucianâs expressions. Aside from excitement, however, Gerald couldnât discern any other vague expressions, which meant that Lucian hadnât kidnapped Lindsay. Though that was the case, that didnât mean that the other Grubbs hadnât done the deed.
Whatever the case was, upon hearing that, Lucian couldnât help but exclaim, âYou truly are my familyâs lucky star, mister!â
âYou flatter me. Speaking of which, have any weird incidents happened within your family recently?â
asked Gerald.
âHmm? Everythingâs been normal as far as Iâm concerned⦠Honestly, have you returned to deal with my familyâs affairs, mister? Does it concern the cave or the mirrorâ¦?â replied Lucian after thinking for a bit.
âLetâs just say that Iâve returned to look for something, though it doesnât concern your family. Donât overthink my earlier question,â replied Gerald with a wave of his hand, not wanting to accidentally mention that he was here to investigate Lindsayâs disappearance.
âI see⦠You scared me for a moment there⦠However, there is one other thing Iâd like to talk to you aboutâ¦â muttered Lucian after heaving a relieved sigh. It was something that he had realized right after Gerald left back then.
