The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2326
âDo you have any idea who he is?â asked the young lady as she looked up, revealing just how pure she lookedâ¦
After giving it some serious thought, the man in gray simply replied, âNot a clue.â
In fact, it was exactly because he had no idea who Gerald was that the man ultimately decided to make his move on the boy back then.
âThat boy possesses the Herculean Primordial Spiritâ¦â muttered the woman with a sigh.
âWhat..? He does? Where did you lead him to, young mistress? Just say the word and Iâll bring him over immediately!â exclaimed the old man, his eyes glinting with excitement.
âWhatâs the point of bringing him over?â replied the young lady.
âYoung mistress, the masterâs been searching for the one who bears the Herculean Primordial Spirit for over ten years! Now that weâve finally found him, we canât just let him escape! He needs to use the primordial spirit to neutralize the cold poison in your body no matter what! Come to think of it, that boy may attempt to escape after I scared him earlier! This wonât do. Iâm telling master about this and having him seal up Greendrake Island!â declared the ecstatic man in gray.
âJust forget it,â replied the young lady as she shook her head.
âYou canât be serious, young mistress⦠Only a single person holds the Herculean Primordial Spirit, so if we donât capture him now, looking for him again will be like searching for a needle in a haystack! After all, we donât even know where heâs from!â said the excited old man who wouldâve already rushed out had the young girl not stopped him.
âAlright, say you do bring him back. What then?â asked the young lady.
âWell⦠Heâll have to⦠you know⦠Heâll have to use the Herculean Primordial Spiritâs power to cure the cold poison in your body!â muttered the old man rather awkwardly.
âSo youâre saying that I should just exchange my virginity for my life?â replied the young lady with a soft sigh.
âPlease donât say that, young mistress⦠As long as we can confirm that he truly possesses the Herculean Primordial Spirit, then we may not have to resort to that method⦠Letâs see what master has to say about all this firstâ¦â muttered the old man who was getting increasingly embarrassed.
âJust give me some time to get to know him better first, â replied the young lady as she thought about the boy. Though they had only met briefly, she didnât really dislike him. In other words, things were off to a considerably good start.
âAnd⦠What if he leaves before youâre on good terms with him?â asked the old man.
âThen all I can say is that I have terrible luck,â replied the young lady as she lowered her head.
âYour luck is already astronomically good for you to be able to bump into the person who owns the Herculean Primordial Spirit⦠Regardless, Iâll follow your orders. If he heads to Mount Nimbus again, Iâll simply drive him away. In return, however, Iâll be posting some of our men to keep watch over the island, just to make sure he doesnât try to leave. Is that agreeable?â asked the old man.
âFine,â replied the young lady in a resigned tone.
âIâm glad to hear it. Now do rest early, young mistress. Iâll be taking my leave for now,â replied the man in gray with a bow before closing the door behind him.
Once the door was closed, the girlâs eyes couldnât help but glint in excitement as she muttered, âThough I know you possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit, I donât even know your name yetâ¦â
Whatever the case was, Gerald had a restless night after all that had happened.
