Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2294

“I have indeed,” replied Gerald with a nod as he placed the ancient book that he had guarded carefully up till this point onto the table.

Frowning slightly, Jobson then asked, “… And this is?”

As the others got closer to the book as well, Gerald carefully opened it before pointing at the squiggly, worm like words as he said, “I found this in the ancient ruins, and I believe that it contains the Seadom tribe’s knowledge on how to get to Yearning Island.”

“This belongs to my family…?” muttered Fujiko as she curiously looked at it.

“It should be. Though I can’t read the language, the words look similar enough to the ones in the books in your family’s secret room back in the Futaba manor,” replied Gerald with a nod.

“Well, your assumption was right on the mark!” said Master Ghost after getting a good look at the book.

Chuckling in response, Gerald then playfully jabbed at Master Ghost’s arm before replying, “I knew you could read it! Hurry and see if there’s any information regarding how to get to Yearning Island!”

Immediately feeling pressured by Gerald’s words, Master Ghost immediately said, “Just to clarify, I only learned a little about the Seadom tribe from my master. With that said, I’m no expert in the language, so don’t expect my translation to be perfect…”

Patting his back, Gerald simply replied, “Just do your best!”

Nodding in response, Master Ghost then took a deep breath before picking the book up and attempting to translate it. Upon seeing that, everyone instantly went quiet, not wanting to affect his concentration.

Fast forward to half an hour later, Master Ghost made it past the fifth page before rubbing his slightly sore eyes as he said, “So… From what I was able to gather, the very start of the book details how to conduct one of the Seadom tribe’s sacrificial rituals… With that said, I believe the parts about getting to Yearning Island should come much later on…”

Watching as Master Ghost then took a sip of his tea that had already gone cold, Gerald replied, “That’s great progress! Don’t worry, you’re doing good. Take your time…”

Following that, Master Ghost resumed reading. However, once he got to the later parts of the book, his frown started getting deeper and deeper. As he had said, he was no expert in the language, and it certainly didn’t help that most of the words were near indistinguishable since the book had been in that damp cave for so long.

Eventually, however, Master Ghost finally said, “… Alright, so apparently, the Seadom tribe had to leave Yearning Island about a thousand and two hundred years ago due to the arrival of a group of people who suddenly took over their home… Since the invaders had mastered the elements of water and fire, the Seadom tribe had no choice but to leave…”

“The invaders are most likely cultivators of old…” replied Gerald as he thought about Jobson and the old man’s ability to bend natural forces to their wills.

Regardless, upon hearing Master Ghost’s groan after he resumed reading for a while, Gerald who had a bad feeling about that was prompted to ask, “… Is something the matter?”

“Well… According to the book, Yearning Island is a magical place that was formed by the essence of heaven and earth. With that in mind, to prevent others from easily locating it, the Seadom tribe had placed the sole method to get to Yearning Island on the island that they moved to after being kicked out of their home. In other words, you’ll have to find the island that the Seadom tribe moved to in order to even remotely get a chance to get to Yearning Island…” muttered Master Ghost as he looked at Gerald.
