Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1117
As for Gerald, Wagner had called for him so that both of them could head over to meet Master Ghost in
Langvern Church—which was located in Langvern Mountain—as appointed by Wagner the day before.
In the past, Gerald hadn’t really believed in so-called ‘masters of fortune-telling’. He simply considered
them to be people who were keen on deceiving others.
However, from the moment he first found out about the remarkable old beggar in the mural, his views
on fortune-telling began changing.
Aside from all the mystifying new experiences he had gone through, Gerald also had another reason to
believe that Master Ghost was the real deal. After all, Master Ghost had sessfully predicted events
that would befall Alice, Wagner, and even the Minshall family. Everything that he had said eventually
came true.
Since Master Ghost had been able to predict that both Wagner and Gerald would eventually meet,
Gerald knew that there existed a chance that he would be able to learn about M and his uncle’s
whereabouts upon meeting Master Ghost.
With that in mind, Gerald was quite anticipated to meet the master.
Located on a mountain ridge north of Halimark City, Langvern Mountain itself was an area surrounded
by cliffs and old pine trees. If one were to stand atop the mountain, they would be able to see the
entirety of Halimark City. Since the city itself was prettyrge, anyone looking at it from the mountain
would see it stretching into the horizon, so much so, in fact, that the end of Halimark City sometimes
looked like it was converging with the sky.
Staring down from above, even a space that could fit tens of thousands of people gave the impression
that it was only the size of a matchbox. Anyone who saw such a scene would undoubtedly be reminded
of how insignificant humans were.
One could normally find lots of people at the foot of the hill. After all, several people went to Langvern
Mountain to pray, and many others headed there to pay formal visits to Master Ghost in hopes of
getting their fates foretold.
As for Langvern Church, it was a simple but ancient-looking building that, from afar, gave the
impression that it wasn’t overly spacious. While churches nowadays were usually refurbished quite
exquisitely and luxuriously, from the day it was built—many, many years ago—the Langvern Church
had retained its mottled, greyish-white walls as well as its reddish-brown bricks and tiles that could be
found all around the building.
Despite many people constantly visiting Langvern Mountain, the mountain was still able to maintain its
lightness and delicateness, making it quite a unique ce.
Returning to Gerald and Wagner, by the time both of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, the path
from the foot to the very top of the mountain was already crowded with people.
Looking around, Gerald ended up momentarily freezing. He wasn’t even sure if he was just imagining
things, but standing quite a distance away from him, was an extremely graceful-looking woman. Well,
at least her back was graceful-looking, from what Gerald could see.
Watching as the woman’s maids led her into her car, Gerald was unable to catch even the slightest
glimpse of her face due to one of the maids holding a parasol—thatpletely blocked his view of her
—as she entered the vehicle.
Eyes-widened as he gulped, Gerald could only stare as he watched the car drive off.
‘…She… She looked so simr…!’
If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew his girlfriend was missing, Gerald would’ve easily have thought that
the woman he had just seen was M!
After all, the back of that woman’s fair neck looked incredibly simr to his girlfriend’s.
The sudden shock of the scene almost made his rational side crumble for second, thinking that it truly
could be her. However, he quickly gathered his thoughts again, deeming the situation as slightly odd.
He immediately reminded himself that not only had M gone missing for a long time now, but since
she had been captured by the Sun League, it was even less possible for her to be roaming around like
this!
Gerald simply shook his head, summing up the incident as being only an illusion of his. It was probably
because he was missing M too much.
Still, Gerald couldn’t help but gulp as he watched the car continue to drive further away. He was now
seriously considering catching up with that car to see if it truly was M or not. Even if she wasn’t, he
could at least rest easy knowing that he hadn’t missed a chance to finally find her again.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a tug on his arm before hearing a feminine voice call out, “Hey,
Gerald! I’ve already called out to you several times! Can’t you hear me?”
Pulled from his train of thought and back to the present, Gerald turned to look at the owner of the voice.
As it turned out, the woman who had tugged his arm was Yasmeen!
“Who are you even looking at…? The moment you saw that beauty, your eyes widened a lot you know?
I really didn’t think that you were such a person, Gerald!” said Yasmeen.
“What do you want?” asked Gerald in a clearly annoyed tone. After all, Yasmeen had interrupted him
during an extremely crucial moment.
“Now what sort of tone even is that! I came over to greet you but this is how you treat me?” said
Yasmeen who seemed rather adamant about continuing to talk to Gerald.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald turned to look at the car again. However, it was nowpletely out of
sight.
After thinking about it for a brief moment, he chalked it up as him simply thinking too much about it.
Regardless, since Yasmeen had been so enthusiastic to talk to him all of a sudden, he was now finding
it quite awkward that he had treated her that way just seconds ago.
“…I was just deep in thought earlier. Sorry,” replied Gerald casually.

Covering her mouth to chuckle, Yasmeen then said, “Now that’s the Gerald I know! Haha!”
