Chapter 1069


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1069


    Though the journey through the desert was both long and hot, the researchers and the tourists did just


    fine with the help of the Master of the Desert.


    After two days of traveling, the group arrived at the center-point of the desert. As was expected, from


    where they currently were, not a soul could be seen within the sandynds.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    At the time, dusk was setting in soon so they decided to make a stop at a shelter that was half-broken.


    Thankfully, it was still nice enough for them to stay the night.


    “I wonder how that man’s doing… Do you think he headed back to town…?” muttered Giya as she sat


    next to the firece, thinking about the man who had saved her.


    “I doubt it. He just doesn’t seem to be that kind of guy! The way he presents himself, he’s both mature


    and reliable! Actually, hold on… Why do you keep thinking about him anyway? Didn’t you say that you


    loved Gerald…? Could it be that you’re obsessing over him because he both looks like, and reminds


    you of Gerald…?” replied Meredith in a rather displeased tone. The way she said it, it was as though


    Meredith could see through Giya.


    “What? No! I’m just worried since he did save our lives after all! Besides, aren’t you constantly thinking


    about him too, Meredith?” said Giya with a smile.


    “Well I do admit that I like mature people… He certainly fits the bill in that department! What more, his


    eyes suggest that countless storiesy hidden behind them… He’s the exact kind of mysterious


    boyfriend that I’d love to have!” replied Meredith without a doubt.


    “Is… that an indirect way of saying you like him…?” asked Giya, her curiosity piqued.


    “Well… I don’t know, alright? Maybe… I mean I just can’t stop thinking about him! I really want to meet


    him again, you know?” replied Meredith as she cupped her hands on her cheeks while looking up into


    the sky.


    Hearing that, Giya looked up at the sky in silence as well.


    ‘Same here… I really want to meet him again too!’ Giya thought to herself.


    A brief momentter, Wynn walked over to them before saying, “Giya? Meredith? What are both of you


    doing? Here, have some hot water. Once the sun sets, things are going to get super chilly here!”


    “It’s fine, I’m not thirsty!” replied Giya as she shook her head, knowing full well what he was up to.


    While she had to admit that Wynn truly had an aura of royalty surrounding him, he just wasn’t the kind


    of person she liked.


    Despite his constant efforts to woo her, Giya knew that it was impossible for them to be together. As a


    result, the more he did for her, the guiltier she felt about it.


    “Well, if that’s the case, why note over and listen to the Master of the Desert’s storytelling? So far,


    all his stories have been pretty scary!” suggested Wynn.


    He then pointed at the professor before adding, “Look, even Professor Yale is interested in his stories!


    Come on!”


    Hearing that, both Giya and Meredith exchanged nces with each other. Since they were here as


    reporters and they needed to write articles once they returned anyway, perhaps listening to an


    interesting story or two would help them with their writing.


    With that in mind, the two girls then re-joined the crowd of people who were listening to the Master of


    the Desert’s tale. The tale itself went by ‘the Legend of Capra Nanny,’ and the bearded man made sure


    to use his most serious tone while sharing the story.


    Essentially, the tale was about an old grandmother who lived in the desert. Nobody knew whether she


    was a human or a ghost, but the important thing was that for sustenance, she sucked humans dry of


    their blood! In fact, all those previous murders could’ve very well beenmitted by Capra Nanny! Not


    only was she scary, but she was also very powerful and bulletproof. Nobody could even dream of killing


    her, and some ounts even said that any normal person who saw her would end up dead on the


    spot!


    “…Is she truly that terrifying…? If something like that really is out there, then it would’ve been made


    public by now!” muttered one of the people huddled before the Master of the Desert. Many others,


    however, remained silent, feeling quite spooked by the story.


    “But of course, she is! I’ll let you in on something even more shocking! Capra Nanny truly does exist,


    and I’ve seen her before with my own eyes!” whispered the Master of the Desert.


    As chills were sent down almost everyone’s spines, Professor Yale simplyughed before saying, “You


    truly are an excellent joker, Master of the Desert! Don’t scare the children too much!”


    “But I jest not! I truly did see her before! I was only seven back then and I saw her when I was following


    my father into the desert!” replied the bearded man in a serious tone, a hint of fear in his voice.


    Seeing how serious the Master of the Desert’s expression was, even the Professor couldn’t help but to


    stopughing.
