    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1059


    As both of them continued pondering in the secret room, Dn suddenly shouted from outside, “Dad!”


    “What is it, Dn?”


    “One of the servants found an ancient-looking box in the manor earlier… Attached to it was a letter with


    Gerald’s name on it!” said Dn as he entered the room with the bo.


    Just as Dn had said, a letter addressed to Gerald had been ced atop the square box.


    “Is there any indication of the sender?” asked Daryl.


    “None that I know of. ording to the servant, he found it by ident. Even after enquiring Welson


    about it, none of his security systems were able to capture any clues!” replied Dn, his tone slightly


    anxious.


    He had reason to feel so. After all, his father belonged to the Soul Pce, and everyone who was part


    of that secret society was the best among the best! Since someone was actually able to infiltrate their


    manor—even after Welson and his men had taken charge of the Crawford family’s security—of course


    he would feel nervous!


    “…How odd… I wonder why so many weird incidents are urring recently… Could something big be


    about to happen…?” muttered Daryl who was also starting to get worried.


    “…Regardless, take a look inside the wooden box, Gerald. It’s meant for you anyway,” added Daryl


    after a brief pause.


    “Alright!” replied Gerald as he doubtfully opened the box.


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Upon opening it, an ancient-looking scroll was revealed.


    After inspecting it a bit closer, it seemed to be a route map in a desert. The few grains of sand that


    were present on the scroll confirmed their deduction.


    Every point on the map was marked clearly, and Gerald found himself surprised when he realized that


    the final destination appeared to be some underground pce. What more, there was arge


    sarcophagus in the middle of that pce!


    Though the scroll was ratherpact with rather crudely-marked details, the sarcophagus clearly


    stood out the most.


    “…Well, it’s definitely a map of sorts…” said Gerald after looking at it for quite a while, still feeling


    slightly baffled.


    Who exactly could have sent him such an oddity?


    “…Based on the coordinates, it appears that the desert in question should be the Death Desert located


    northwest from here. It puzzles me as to why our anonymous sender even sent Gerald such a map…


    Also, that sarcophagus was definitely meant to stand out among the other details on the map… From


    the looks of it, it could be an eternal coffin…” replied Daryl.


    “An eternal coffin?” asked Dn, confused.


    “Indeed. I’ve seen such coffins before in the picture of the sun… The coffin itself is a patent belonging


    to one of the countries in the Western Regions, and it has a history of at least a few thousand years by


    now. ording to legends, people who are buried in such coffins will be able to keep their appearance


    and bodies fully intact,” replied Daryl as he took a deep breath.


    “There used to be a lot of people who wanted to get their hands on the eternal coffin, but even after so


    long, nobody’s truly seen it before. How queer… Why could have sent you such arge gift? What


    even is the meaning behind all this…?” added Daryl.


    “…You know, Parker said that someone aided him secretly while he was looking for leads to locate the


    Sun League. Now that someone’s sent us this map, I wonder if the sender is the same person who


    helped Parker… Could it be that the person has been helping us behind the scenes this entire time?”


    said Dn as both he and Daryl turned to look at Gerald.


    Daryl knew for a fact that there wasn’t such a person in his life who would do something like that for


    him. Dn was thinking the same thing.


    As a result, Gerald was the only possible person with such a connection.


    “…Could it be my master, Finnley…? Though there’s little reason for him to do things behind the


    scenes… If he truly wished to help me, he’d definitely make himself known!” replied Gerald, still feeling


    perplexed after giving it quite a bit of thought.


    In the end, Finnley seemed to be the only one that made sense. However, there really was no reason


    for Finnley not to just show himself, right?


    “…Regardless, that issue can wait. For now, why not open the letter first and see what it says,” said


    Daryl.


    Upon opening the letter, Gerald was greeted by only a few lines of words. However, when all three of


    them read the letter’s contents, they ended up feeling rather stunned.


    ‘When the bright sky erodes the moon,’


    ‘And water flows in the opposite direction,’


    ‘The Golden flower will wither as soon as it falls.’
