Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1126
The stone itself stood at about half a meter high, and Yume couldn’t help but feel that the stone was
rather extraordinary. It simply gave off an aura of intimacy when one looked at it.
Unable to help herself, Yume found herself gently and carefully caressing the stone. However, not long
after she touched it, the stone suddenly lit up, enveloping Yume in a bright light that shone in all the
colors of the rainbow!
Taking a few steps back, Yume immediately shielded her eyes with a hand as the bright light
momentarily blinded her.
A little whileter, the colorful lights finally began dimming down again, and eventually, the stone
returned to its initial faint glow. However, a fewplicated-looking lines seemed to have formed on
the stone as well.
“Are you alright, Miss Gunter?” asked Master Ghost as he walked over with a wry smile on his face, his
divination readingplete.
“…I-I’m fine… Speaking of which, what kind of broken stone even is this…? Why would it suddenly light
up on its own?” asked Yume as she blushed, feeling that she had just embarrassed herself earlier.
“Hahaha! That, Miss Gunter, is a marriage stone! It’s used to determine a person’s fate when ites
to marriage! You touching it earlier activated it! The lines on the stone represent your marriage, you
know?” exined Ghost.
“M-marriage?!” replied Yume as her face turned as red as a tomato.
A girl with Yume’s personality and character was naturally repulsed with the idea of love and romance.
In fact, she had been disgusted with the idea of affection between men and women ever since she was
a child.

It was the reason why she had been so irritated and annoyed when Gerald had touched her skin back
then, even though it was to heal her injuries. She simply hated the idea of skin contact between
opposite genders and would very much prefer to avoid it as much as she could.
“You know, why don’t I tell you the fate of our marriage first? Based on what the marriage stone is
saying, it appears that your heart will belong to someone in the future!” said Ghost.
“…W-who would even want a reading on such a ridiculous thing… Though… can you truly see my
fate?” asked Yume as she felt her heart beating frantically.
Even if Yume was a woman with a fiery temper, she was still a woman at heart, and any woman would
grow shy once they heard things regarding the fate of their marriage.
“I can, and I already have. From what I was able to gather, you’ll be able to find what you want on your
trip. The eight diagrams also imply that you’ll not only be able to locate the person you’re looking for,
but you’ll also obtain something you weren’t quite expecting! I’ve foreseen that you’ll be able to find the
person who’s been hidden deep down in your heart!” replied Ghost.
Upon hearing that, Yume’s beautiful face somehow managed to turn even redder than before!
When they saw this, many of the apprentices—who had remained in the room—found themselves
unable to stop themselves from gulping and staring wide-eyed at her. Despite her temper, the woman
really was astoundingly beautiful.
“Now then, if you wish to obtain an even greater understanding, I can help further analyze the clues
disyed on the marriage stone for you!”
“…L-look, the only reason I came here was to ask you if I would be able to achieve my goal during this
trip! I don’t need to find out about anything else!” replied Yume as she stole a nce at the marriage
stone before turning around to leave.
However, the moment she got to the door, she found herself stopping dead in her tracks.
…In truth, she was extremely tempted to find out as well!
Even though she had constantly been trying to escape such feelings for so many years, the emotions
that she had within her kept budding, growing stronger by the year. It felt as though there were simply
some things that she could no longer avoid no matter how much she tried to escape from them!
After struggling with herself for some time, Yume finally walked back before saying, “…Fine! I’ll listen to
what you have to say and see whether what you predicted turns out to be urate or not…!”
Meanwhile, Gerald had just arrived at the ancestral mine of the Minshall family. He was here since he
had been told that the water repellent stone could be found here.
Though the location looked exactly like a mine on the surface, the Minshalls had carefully hidden the
stone in the deepest part of the mine so that no random person would ever find it.
Upon walking inside, Gerald came across countless spider webs and the asional discarded mining
tool as he made his way deeper into the mine.
After passing through a few tunnels and uncovering quite a number of hidden paths, Gerald finally
caught sight of the white, palm-sized water repellent stone lying motionless on a tray…
