Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1152
Yume herself remained stunned on the spot for quite a while.
It was late at night when Gerald could be seen meditating on his bed, listening to the ocean breeze as he thought
about the new discoveries he had made tonight.
According to what the survivor had said, a particularly powerful and wrathful woman had appeared that night,
resulting in the death of the other eight people who had been standing guard over the coffin with him.
Who was she? And what did she mean when she said that she had awoken in time?
Whatever the case was, the woman seemed to be filled with immense resentment.
Aside from the woman, the terrible wailing from within the flying house was also something that couldn’t easily be
forgotten. Could all those who had been captured by the Sun League be in there? Were Mila and his uncle in there?
The mention of all those wretched wails from within the house had definitely shocked Gerald earlier.
As for the woman in white, she had probably surrendered to the mysterious old beggar in the end. After all, Gerald
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad already seen the continuation of the story back when Master Ghost had shown him the six stone tablets.
From what he remembered, the old beggar and the remaining men had continued on with their journey quite
smoothly. After the old man killed an injured dragon, they all buried the dragon’s corpse together with the fairy’s
coffin before making an equally smooth return trip.
After some time, Gerald’s eyes flashed a hint of determination as he quietly muttered, “The ocean king’s palace…”
It was two days later when Gerald and his family’s fleet continued sailing atop the choppy waves. While the
extremely high waves from earlier had lessened considerably, the ocean breeze was still very strong.
Looking out at sea, the seemingly endless number of strong waves as far as the eye could see would make anyone
feel awe-inspired.
Before Gerald had set off two days ago, he had ordered his bodyguards to send Jasmine and the others to Halimark
City first to look for Wagner. Once they were there, they were told to contact the Fendersons to send people over
and pick them up.
Once he knew that Jasmine and the others were safe and sound, Gerald could finally rest a bit easier.
While Jasmine herself had initially wanted to head there together with Gerald, it was simply too dangerous. After all,
this wasn’t a trip, nor was it an ordinary adventure.
In fact, knowing that there could very well be many unknown dangers down there, even with his current strength,
Gerald himself wasn’t sure if he would be able to make it out in one piece.
It was noon when Chester headed to the deck and stood behind Gerald before respectfully saying, “It’s estimated
that we aren’t too far off from the king of the ocean’s palace now, sir!”
“I see. Then the place where you ended up drifting off to that year should be nearby,” replied Gerald.
“I’d assume so. I was simply rowing the boat in the direction the ocean breeze was blowing at the time, so the boat
was sailing quite fast… While I had prepared food to last me for at least three days back then, I ended up drifting at
sea for about ten days… Due to almost a week without food, I remember nearly dying from starvation back then…
From the distance we’ve covered, I’d say we should be getting close,” said Chester as he surveyed the area while
making estimations in his head.
‘In addition to the clues we found before we set off, I suspect that Angelica could very well be the person we’re
looking for…’ Gerald thought to himself.
“Still, I truly think that you’ll be able to find the answers you’ve been seeking once we make it into the king of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmocean’s palace,” added Chester.
“You and me both, Chester. You and me both…” replied Gerald as he looked out into the horizon.
Even with the map that Gerald had obtained from the Minshalls, they were still having slight trouble looking for the
exact location of the palace.
All of a sudden, Chester pointed out at sea before saying, “…Huh? Sir, have a look in that direction! It… seems to
be a ship of some sort…”
True to Chester’s words, after turning to look at where he was pointing at, Gerald saw a large wooden ship out at
sea.
Though its oars seemed to be static, the ship was sailing against the current, and it was headed straight for where
Gerald’s ship currently was rather quickly!
At that moment, Yume walked over before asking, “Is something wrong?”
However, the moment she saw the ship that was slowly getting closer to them, even she became slightly stunned.
Recognizing the aura surrounding the ship, the stunned Gerald—whose eyes hadn’t left the sea-faring vehicle—
muttered, “…Could that be… force…?”
Quickly snapping out of it, then coldly ordered, “For now, focus on dodging the incoming ship! I’ll be heading aboard
that ship to have a look around first!”
