Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1092
After saying that, Gerald slowly lifted a hand… Through the force of his inner strength alone, Gerald
slowly lifted the old man off the ground. Christopher wasn’t even able to attempt to fight back due to
some invisible force holding on to his entire body.
“P-please don’t kill me, Gerald! T-the pledge of the hold water ising soon! I’m still useful to you, so
please don’t end me yet! I-I know a major secret you know?!” shouted Christopher in both panic and
fear as green veins began bulging from his forehead.
“What secret?” asked Gerald coldly.
“I-I know that your family has been investigating the Sun League for a long while now. I’ll be honest
with you and say that including the Moldells, all the other major secret societies—such as the Naplocks
and the Fergusons—have never truly given up on investigating the Sun League even after all these
years… I-I have an important clue to share with you, so please, please spare my life…! It wasn’t easy
for me to get to this level of training, so even if you still wish to end me, please do so when I attend the
pledge of the holy water!” wailed Christopher as the old man burst into tears.
“…You’re truly a sly, old fox! You’re almost a hundred by now yet you im to still fear death? Do you
think I’ll spare your life just because you shed a few tears?” replied Gerald, starting to feel slightly
awkward.
“I-I won’t be unreasonable and request that you just let me go, of course… However, aside from the
fact that the pledge of the holy water is closely linked to the Sun League, do understand that my father
died because of that pledge… Since then, my only wish in life had been to enter the realm of legends
and gain ess to the pledge of the holy water. Once I’m there, I wish to find out the reason for my
father’s death. I also wish to find out what the pledge of the holy water truly is.”
“Regardless, I remember Kort telling me that the Crawfords managed to find half of a stone tablet out at
sea. The map disyed on said tablet reveals a ce called Warhill Mountain, which is where the
pledge of the holy water takes ce. Endless secrets lie within that mountain, you know?” exined
Christopher hurriedly, knowing that he was no longer able to defeat Gerald no matter what he did.
Despite still resenting the youth, everything he had said was true. He didn’t dare to lie since he truly
wanted to live to see the pledge of the holy water with his very own eyes. The way Christopher saw it,
even if he was to die, he wanted to pass on in the mysterious way that many others—across the past
ten thousand years—who had participated in the pledge had done.
“I already know that it’s going to be held in Warhill Mountain.”
“E-even so, you may not be aware of this next bit, and I’m willing to bet that your grandfather hasn’t
heard of this either! I’m assuming that you still don’t know where Warhill Mountain is, and for good
reason! See, the token of the holy water only provides a few details about the mountain itself. It doesn’t
really tell you the location’s exact coordinates. To enter Warhill Mountain, you must first gather several
great masters to team up with. I’ll be frank and say that attempts to even enter the mountain require a
lot of human and material resources. As a result, only a small group of people usually make it into the
mountain.”
“ording to legends, Warhill Mountain is located on arge ind that can be found deep within the
ocean. While that may sound odd, rumors state that the ind only appears once the token of the holy
water is issued. The ind itself is called Divine Ind, and I know how to get there!” added
Christopher.
“You’re not the only one who’s aware of all that, you know? After all, your father wasn’t the only one
who returned from the pledge of the holy water that year. With the pledge of the holy water just around
the corner, you should know that rumors like these aremonce for those who are aware of the
event. Also, since everyone knows that the pledge is extremely dangerous, no sane great master
would choose to head there alone,” sneered Gerald.
‘What a slick b*stard he is!’ Thought the old man who was now drenched in cold sweat.
Just as Gerald had said, Christopher definitely wasn’t the only one who knew about the ‘secrets’ he
had just shared. In fact, the old man had already agreed to go there with the Naplocks and a few other
great masters from other families.
“Fine, even if you already know all this, I have something else to tell you that you’ll surely find
interesting!”

“Spill it.”
“Well, regardless of whether they’ve gone mad or not, I’m sure everyone agrees that great masters
who are able to return from the pledge of the holy water are extremely powerful. After all, they were
able to survive long enough in that perilous ce! Due to that logic, my father should be considered to
be a powerful person, no?”
“Indeed. My grandfather himself admires him a lot. From what I’ve heard, several of the secret societies
back then treated the Moldells as their default leader,” replied Gerald.
“Well, the thing is, those who managed to return alive are far from the strongest… In fact, they’re the
weakest who weren’t able to remain there for long! You know, after my maddened father returned, he
called me to his bed on the night before his death. The moment I was beside him, he immediately
tugged my arm before shouting the same sentence three times in a row!” said Christopher with a gulp
before disying a solemn expression.
Frowning slightly, Gerald then lowered Christopher to the ground before putting away his inner
strength.
“I… For the rest of my life, I’ll never forget my father’s expression when he shouted those words at me
on that night…!”
“What exactly did he say?”
“With… an extremely terrified expression, he shouted, ‘I don’t want to go back!’ three times in a row!”
