    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1054


    As Kort gulped loudly, clearly terrified by what he had just witnessed, Christopher let out a chuckle


    before saying, “So, are you still worried about those two?”


    “N-not at all! You’re definitely the most powerful person in the world! With you clearly being


    undefeatable, we can avenge your two grandsons! I’ll escort you off the mountain!” said Kort excitedly.


    “Haha! Still, you honestly didn’t have toe looking for me all the way up here. After all, I was going


    to leave the mountain before long anyway,” replied Christopher with a smile.


    Hearing that, Kort seemed to remember something.


    “…Now that I think about it, right before you went into seclusion twenty years ago, I remember you


    telling me that you wanted to make preparations for the pledge of the holy water… I also recall that the


    pledge is held once every thirty years… From what I can tell, that day is swiftly approaching! Since you


    seem to have gained the title of great master for at least ten years by now—judging from your strength


    —you can definitely represent our family to join the pledge!”


    “You remember correctly. You know, my father died when he was participating in a pledge of the holy


    water. On the day that happened, I swore to myself that I’d one day arrive at the realm of legends and


    undergo the pledge of the holy water before I died,” replied Christopher as he reminisced.


    “Speaking of the pledge of the holy water, I remember you showing me a picture of Warhill Mountain


    back before you entered seclusion. I saw it again yesterday at the Crawford family mansion.


    Apparently, the Crawford grandfather and grandson wish to solve the mystery behind the Sun League!”


    said Kort.


    “Haha! Do they, now? They can certainly try! After all, nobody’s been able to unravel the mysteries


    behind the Sun League for almost a thousand years by now! The league itself almost feels imaginary,


    and at this point, I think it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that there’s some cursedw that prevents


    anyone from ever finding them! Despite my dad being so powerful back then and even going so far as


    to devote much of his life to solving the mystery behind that group, in the end, he still failed to do so! I


    must say that Daryl truly is overestimating his abilities now…” replied Christopher as heughed loudly.


    “However, ording to a clue that great grandfather had left back then, the pledge of the holy water is


    closely linked with the Sun League…”


    “Indeed it is. I had a chat with my father in a secret room before he passed away that year. He told me


    that those who gained the status of great master would be granted tokens of the holy water that would


    be used for the pledge. My dad himself had doubted that the Sun League was the true provider of the


    holy water which, ording to rumors, granted one immortality! To prove his point, he headed out to


    solve the secrets behind the Sun League. However, when he finally returned, he was a shadow of his


    former self. It was as though he had lost all his wits, and he remained silent most of the time. Less than


    a monthter, he passed away, leaving behind only a map of Warhill Mountain that he brought back


    with him!” replied Christopher in a mncholic tone.


    “If that’s the case, then you’d better not go, uncle… After all, the Moldell family can’t lose you! I mean…


    You know, just in case any idents happen to you… Once you’re gone, the Moldell family members


    will be sitting ducks!” said Kort, evidently worried.


    “Haha! Life and death are ruled by fate! What more, I’ve already worked so hard for so many years just


    to participate in the pledge of the holy water… I can’t just give up now! Don’t worry, I’ll get rid of all the


    Moldell family’s obstacles before I leave. Regardless, the sun is barely even up yet and you look


    exhausted… Go get some rest first,” said Christopher as he smiled subtly.


    “Thank you, uncle!”


    Back in the Crawford Manor, Gerald was currently meditating on the floor of his room while


    simultaneously practicing his breathing method.


    During the previous day, Gerald’s grandfather had called any relevant Crawfords over into the manor’s


    secret room. Once inside, he asked them to tryprehending the Crawford family’s heirloom, the


    picture of the sun.

    After seeing that nobody was able to gather anything from the picture, Gerald tried deciphering the


    picture’s deeper meaning as well.


    While he did manage to decipher a few things, it was only a few techniques he could use to exert his


    power of the blessings of the dragon.


    Back in the present, Lyra herself was fast asleep on her bed. Due to how exhausted she had been, she


    had turned in early.


    Both Gerald and her were in the same room since his grandfather already treated her like his


    granddaughter-inw, simr to Gerald’s parents and sister. Knowing that they had to share a room no


    matter what, Gerald simply opted to remain on the floor.


    Turning to look at her, Gerald was surprised to see Lyra shaking her head in her sleep.


    “…Hmm?”


    As he went over to check on her, he could see that she was also sweating profusely.


    Realizing that she must be having a bad dream, Gerald smiled bitterly as he asked, “A nightmare…?”


    Just as he was about to cover her with a nket, he heard her nervously say, “…Who… who are


    you…?”


    Surprised, Gerald turned to look at her, only to find that her eyes were still shut tight. Even though she


    was just sleep talking, her voice seemed utterly terrified. What could she be dreaming about…?
