br>Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1129
Due to his keen sense of smell, Gerald was able to detect the scent of a highly toxic gas that was
slowly filling the mine. From what he was able to tell, directly inhaling even just a little of the gas would
be sufficient to easily corrode a human’s internal organs!
True to his deduction, after taking just a few steps forward, Yume was already starting to get extremely
dizzy. As the strength in her body rapidly left her, Gerald quickly ran over to support her.
Following that, he instantly began sealing several of her body’s vital energy paths that led to her vital
organs.
“M-my chest… Suffocating…” muttered the weakened Yume whose face was already pale.
“Thankfully you didn’t breathe in too much of that gas… Know that the air around us now is slowly
getting more and more poisonous… Someone seems to be deliberately releasing poison gas in here!
Regardless, try not to talk for now and get ready to hold your breath,” exined Gerald quickly.
After saying that, Gerald himself took in a deep breath, purposefully inhaling the poison gas. Just by
doing so, however, he was able to roughly distinguish theposition of the gas!
Since Gerald had already been immune to several kinds of poisons as early asst year, this level of
poison was nothing to him! While the poison gas was definitely fatal for normal people, to Gerald, the
gas was simply akin to the mild distasteful scent of a spilled bottle of vinegar within an environment that
previously had fresh air.
Regardless, someone was definitely up to no good outside!Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Looking at the weakened girl who was now lying in his arms, Gerald knew that he couldn’t allow
anything bad to happen to her. After all, she appeared to know some secrets about the pce of the
ocean king. What more, even from the first time he had met her, Gerald had felt that both Yume and
M had somewhat simr eyes.
Due to this innate intimacy that he felt toward her, Gerald felt the urge to help her escape this ce
safely. In fact, he wouldn’t have left her behind even if she was aplete stranger.
With the poison gas now slowly resembling a thickening, greenish poisonous fog, Gerald turned to look
at the teary-eyed Yume—whose face was already flushed by this point—before saying, “…Since you
haven’t used it yet, I’m assuming you’re not familiar with the breath-holding technique?”
After watching her nod slowly, Gerald then added, “I apologize in advance then. Please don’t hold it
against me. Understand that my primary objective is to get you out of this ce alive!”
Following that, Gerald took in a deep breath of the poisonous air. Once the air was inside him, the air
was instantly purified. With that in mind, he then directed the fresh air into his mouth…
Before kissing Yume to transfer it over to her!
Seeing that, Yume’s eyes immediately widened in shock as she tried her hardest to resist. However,
she simply didn’t have any strength left in her body due to her initial intake of the gas.
d that it was working, Gerald then continued to asionally transfer fresh air into Yume’s lungs as
they quickly made their way out of the mine.
Knowing that the person in charge of releasing the gas was probably after him and not Yume, Gerald
truly wanted to know who the culprit was.
Meanwhile, a young Minshall—who was standing outside the mine alongside many other Minshall
family membersughed as he said, “Hah! We’ve truly released a huge amount of poison gas inside,
uncle! Even if he has the physique of a deity, Gerald definitely won’t be able to make it out alive!”
Before them, stood a contraption that continued to pump poison gas into the sealed up entrance of the
mine. They had made sure to carefully seal the entrance up too so that even if Gerald managed to
climb up again to make his escape, he wouldn’t be able to tell where the passage leading out was!
“But of course! It’s called the thousand years of poison, after all! Not even an immortal would be able to
escape death after inhaling this!” replied the middle-aged man—whose back was facing the entrance—
with a dark expression on his face.
“Still, I really want to head inside to see how terribly Gerald’s body has already rotted!” said another
young Minshall beforeughing.
“Are you that tired of living? Even inhaling the slightest amount of that poison gas will cause all your
internal organs to rot, you know! Don’t any of you know the origins of our family’s thousand years of
poison?” dered the middle-aged man rather arrogantly after realizing that his current situation made
him resemble a teacher who was standing before a group of students who were anxious to learn.
“We don’t, uncle! Please exin it to us!”
“Very well then! Listen closely, now!”
Now in a good mood, Uncle Minshall quickly cleared his throat to begin his tale. Before he could even
begin, however, he noticed that all the young Minshalls were now pale-faced and staring wide-eyed at
something. Their expressions suggested that they had just seen something terrifying…
“…What’s this then? Why the frightened expressions?” asked the middle-aged man as heughed.
“U-uncle Minshall… B-behind you…!” squeaked one of the young Minshalls as he pointed behind the
middle-aged man in horror.
Before he could even turn around, uncle Minshall heard a voice shouting, “Make way!”
Following that, Gerald—who had used one of his hands to dig open a small hole in the dirt-sealed
entrance to check if he was on the right path—kicked the poison gas-spreading contraption right into
the earthen wall, causing the sealed up entrance to be re-opened!
Now understanding what the young Minshalls had seen to be that terrified, the middle-aged man’s face
instantly went as pale as a sheet when he felt a pat on his right shoulder. Knowing that he was the sole
person blocking the entrance now, uncle Minshall slowly turned around to look behind him… To see
Gerald there holding Yume in his arms!
