Chapter 2389
The Secretly Rich Man
The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2389 Now that Gerald had been exposed to all this, he wondered if the âsageâ he had previously met while trying to locate the Zircobsite in Mayberry Cityâs Mountain Top Villa was actually just a beginner cultivator like the high elders in Yanamâ¦
As for the existence of âgreat masters,â the cryptic families may have simply been exaggerating as they passed down the legends to their successors. That certainly explained why Gerald had previously been so helpless in the presence of a real cultivator like Ryder. Back then, he couldnât even lay a finger on that old man Regardless, Gerald finally knew the proper process of cultivation.
Since he now knew the most supreme cultivation methods as well, he didnât have to resort to using his mortal body to fight against someone with a holy body anymore. Come to think of it, just like Sister Indigo and the rest, his previous reincarnations may have been able to attain Immortal Bodies. After all, they were able to form primordial spirits that eventually led to him getting his Herculean Primordial Spirit after being reincarnated nine times.
Geraldâs train of thought was cut short when he heard Walter say, âSpeaking of which, I know youâre returning to Weston soon, so Iâve ordered my men to pack some books for you, Gerald! You can read them when youâre free!â
âI appreciate it. Also, I was thinking of staying for a few more days to help you completely recover.
While Iâm at it, I wish to teach you some of the formations Iâve learned. Iâd have loved to teach you a powerful sword technique as well, but⦠Well, you know,â replied Gerald with a sigh.
Teaching Walter a sword technique now was equivalent to giving a bald man a comb. Rather than reminding the middle-aged man of what he could no longer do, Gerald may as well teach him the formations that he had learned. Now that would be far more practical.
Regardless, after chuckling wryly, Walter simply said, âDonât worry, Iâve given up on martial arts by this point. However, Iâm not passing up a chance to learn new formations!â
Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, âI feel these formations suit you a lot. With that in mind, as long as you diligently train on them, you should be able to use the formations to prolong your life through the forces of heaven and earth, even without actually cultivatingâ¦â
Following that, Gerald remained on the island for fifteen days. Once he parted ways with the Zemans, Gerald made sure to deal with Lucian and Lindsayâs issues before finally returning to Weston.
While he wouldâve definitely needed a much longer time to get there in the past, now that Gerald had access to the Golden Blaze Somersault, he was back in Northbay in no timeâ¦
As was expected, his familyâs manor was still as deserted as ever. Ever since that incident, his parents, Lyra, and the others had all vanished. As for his remaining assets, Lyra had thankfully instructed Zack to transfer all of them to Mayberry in advanceâ¦
It was clear that simply being here was making Gerald feel nostalgic. After all, this was where he used to live. Regardless, as he sat in the manor and stared blankly into space, he couldnât help but think that apart from Mila, he also felt sorry for Lyra and Giyaâ¦
It was sometime later when he finally got up and made a Somersault back to Mayberry City, the place where he had lived for almost two decades. With that in mind, this place held even more sentiments to him.
Looking down at the prosperous metropolis, Gerald couldnât help but smile as he muttered, âItâs been some time since Iâve left to search for Mila⦠I wonder how my old friends are doingâ¦â
Gerald, for one, wouldâve never been able to imagine that heâd no longer be a commoner the next time he returned to this place. Either way, though he definitely felt emotional upon retuming to his hometown, he made sure to remind himself that he had far more important things to do. For one, he still needed to look for the divine fruit tree to hopefully be able to locate Yearning Islandâ¦
âIf I remember correctly, I told Aiden to look for Zack back then⦠I wonder how things are goingâ¦â said Gerald to himself as he Somersaulted to Wayfair Mountain nextâ¦
Ever since the crisis befell his family, the Crawford familyâs business had entered turmoil as well.
Thankfully, Lyraâs secret arrangements of transferring all the remaining assets to Mayberry had prevented the Crawfords from completely going bankrupt in a single nightâ¦
Regardless, upon arriving at his manor, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of a few luxurious cars parked at the entrance. Realizing that there werenât even any security guards at the gate, Gerald raised a slight brow before placing his hands against his back and entering the manorâ¦
He had just taken a single step inside when his divine sense allowed him to hear someone scowl, âThe Morningstarâs Patriarch will be celebrating his birthday in three days, so you have until then to consider!
If you refuse to sign the contract by then, youâll all die!â
