Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1126
The stone itself stood at about half a meter high, and Yume couldn’t help but feel that the stone was rather
extraordinary. It simply gave off an aura of intimacy when one looked at it.
Unable to help herself, Yume found herself gently and carefully caressing the stone. However, not long after she
touched it, the stone suddenly lit up, enveloping Yume in a bright light that shone in all the colors of the rainbow!
Taking a few steps back, Yume immediately shielded her eyes with a hand as the bright light momentarily blinded
her.
A little while later, the colorful lights finally began dimming down again, and eventually, the stone returned to its
initial faint glow. However, a few complicated-looking lines seemed to have formed on the stone as well.
“Are you alright, Miss Gunter?” asked Master Ghost as he walked over with a wry smile on his face, his divination
reading complete.
“…I-I’m fine… Speaking of which, what kind of broken stone even is this…? Why would it suddenly light up on its
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtown?” asked Yume as she blushed, feeling that she had just embarrassed herself earlier.
“Hahaha! That, Miss Gunter, is a marriage stone! It’s used to determine a person’s fate when it comes to marriage!
You touching it earlier activated it! The lines on the stone represent your marriage, you know?” explained Ghost.
“M-marriage?!” replied Yume as her face turned as red as a tomato.
A girl with Yume’s personality and character was naturally repulsed with the idea of love and romance. In fact, she
had been disgusted with the idea of affection between men and women ever since she was a child.
It was the reason why she had been so irritated and annoyed when Gerald had touched her skin back then, even
though it was to heal her injuries. She simply hated the idea of skin contact between opposite genders and would
very much prefer to avoid it as much as she could.
“You know, why don’t I tell you the fate of our marriage first? Based on what the marriage stone is saying, it
appears that your heart will belong to someone in the future!” said Ghost.
“…W-who would even want a reading on such a ridiculous thing… Though… can you truly see my fate?” asked
Yume as she felt her heart beating frantically.
Even if Yume was a woman with a fiery temper, she was still a woman at heart, and any woman would grow shy
once they heard things regarding the fate of their marriage.
“I can, and I already have. From what I was able to gather, you’ll be able to find what you want on your trip. The
eight diagrams also imply that you’ll not only be able to locate the person you’re looking for, but you’ll also obtain
something you weren’t quite expecting! I’ve foreseen that you’ll be able to find the person who’s been hidden deep
down in your heart!” replied Ghost.
Upon hearing that, Yume’s beautiful face somehow managed to turn even redder than before!
When they saw this, many of the apprentices—who had remained in the room—found themselves unable to stop
themselves from gulping and staring wide-eyed at her. Despite her temper, the woman really was astoundingly
beautiful.
“Now then, if you wish to obtain an even greater understanding, I can help further analyze the clues displayed on
the marriage stone for you!”
“…L-look, the only reason I came here was to ask you if I would be able to achieve my goal during this trip! I don’t
need to find out about anything else!” replied Yume as she stole a glance at the marriage stone before turning
around to leave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the moment she got to the door, she found herself stopping dead in her tracks.
…In truth, she was extremely tempted to find out as well!
Even though she had constantly been trying to escape such feelings for so many years, the emotions that she had
within her kept budding, growing stronger by the year. It felt as though there were simply some things that she
could no longer avoid no matter how much she tried to escape from them!
After struggling with herself for some time, Yume finally walked back before saying, “…Fine! I’ll listen to what you
have to say and see whether what you predicted turns out to be accurate or not…!”
Meanwhile, Gerald had just arrived at the ancestral mine of the Minshall family. He was here since he had been told
that the water repellent stone could be found here.
Though the location looked exactly like a mine on the surface, the Minshalls had carefully hidden the stone in the
deepest part of the mine so that no random person would ever find it.
Upon walking inside, Gerald came across countless spider webs and the occasional discarded mining tool as he
made his way deeper into the mine.
After passing through a few tunnels and uncovering quite a number of hidden paths, Gerald finally caught sight of
the white, palm-sized water repellent stone lying motionless on a tray…
