    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1150


    It was at that moment when Yume led a middle-aged man into the room where Gerald and the other


    two currently were.


    The moment Yume saw that Jasmine—who seemed to be as charming and attractive as Yume was—


    was standing quite close to Gerald, for some unknown reason, she couldn’t help but feel slightly


    ufortable.

    Due to that difort, however, her tone was slightly harsher as she coldly said, “Here’s the person


    you were looking for, Gerald! Mr. Yarrow here had brought along all the ind’s relevant information on


    that year!”


    With that, she moved to stand on Gerald’s other side. Seeing that, Jasmine herself began carefully


    sizing up the beauty who was now standing as close to Gerald as she was.


    As sparks flew between the two women, the middle-aged man—who was holding onto the information


    in his hands—greeted, “Mr. Crawford!”


    “A pleasure to have you here, Mr. Yarrow. Please, have a seat.”


    Tim Yarrow was someone from the cultural affairs bureau in Montholm City. ording to what people


    had told Gerald, the man knew all about the development of Montholm City from ancient times till this


    very day. If one wanted to investigate the origins and history of this ce, Tim was the perfect guy to


    look for.


    After exchanging some pleasantries, Tim went straight to the point.


    “So I’ve heard that you’re interested in the history of Montholm Ind’s city construction, Mr. Crawford.


    With that in mind, I’ve investigated quite a bit into the subject this afternoon. You see, Montholm City


    actually began as a small fisherman vige by the sea. Back then, there were only a mere hundred


    families inhabiting the area. As for the ind’s history, I’m afraid that it originates from about ten


    thousand years ago… The evidence to back that im up is the fossils that were sessfully


    excavated on the ind a few decades ago…”


    “All this sounds very well recorded and I have no doubts about the evidence you speak of. However,


    Mr. Yarrow, I’d like to know if you’re aware of any legendary but well-founded unofficial historic events?”


    asked Gerald after hearing all that.


    “Unofficial historic events you say? I’ll have you know that there are far too many of those! Forgive my


    enthusiasm, but researching unofficial historic events and gathering evidence to disprove the official


    ones has been a personal—and the only—hobby of mine for as long as I’ve lived! If that’s what you


    wish to ask me about then you can rest assured that you’ve found the right person!” replied Tim with a


    smile.


    With that, he began detailing a few old legends to Gerald.


    “Let’s see… It was about twenty years ago when I first started working. Through sheer coincidence, I


    came across a very ancient book in the cultural bureau’s library at the time! Its contents were simple,


    yet very ancient words that fascinated the younger me greatly!”


    “I had reason to be so excited. After all, the words in that book were vastly differentpared to the


    ancient words that couldmonly be recognized and found. Since I had chosen to major in


    archaeology in university, I was lucky enough that one of my professors had taught me the meanings of


    a few ancient words. Once I was done deciphering the text, I found that the book was filled with


    legends and unofficial historic events. To put it in simpler and more modern terms, the person recording


    the legends seemed to be making memoirs.”


    “Regardless, I also found out that the contents in the book had been extracted from a stone tablet. In


    other words, the story predated even the people who had transferred the memoirs into book format! As


    for the contents, it described an incident about an old man surviving through luck.”


    “In the book, the old man had said that he was lucky enough to have been chosen to participate in a


    special funeral. The funeral itself was considered to be special since he was tasked with heading there


    to bury a fairy! As for the burial ce, it was a magnificent pce under the sea!”


    Hearing that, both Gerald and Yume couldn’t help but exchange nces in dismay.


    “Moving on, the book then described how thirty-seven people—including the master—had carried the


    coffin all the way to Montholm Ind. They had apparently made a stop here to rest due to a heavy


    storm.”


    ‘…Isn’t this… the same story from the six stone tablets…? I’m pretty sure it is! With any luck, the book


    hopefully contained what had happened after they came to the ind. After all, I remember the


    following mural showing that the old beggar only had twenty-seven men with him after stopping by the


    ind. Where had the nine other people disappeared to?’ Gerald thought to himself as his eyelids


    twitched slightly.


    ‘Come to think of it, the contents of the stone tablets seem more and more like an ancient epitaph of


    one of the nine people who had been left behind on the ind… From the looks of it, the words seem


    to be describing said person’s entire life… Could that mean that the nine who were left behind didn’t


    die? What happened then? Why would they decide to stay behind halfway through their journey…?’


    “It’s then stated in the memoir that after the writer arrived on Montholm ind, his entire life was


    changed due to a scene that he witnessed which he imed that he would never be able to forget for


    the rest of his life. To go into detail, the group of men was camping one night when all of a sudden, the


    heavens seemed to fall while the earth split open! Everyone was sure that cmity was about to befall


    them and that the whole ind was about to sink! However, as they were about to begin escaping, all


    of them saw an enormous, bronze house that hovered in the air!”


    “Not only was the hovering house massive, but there also seemed to be people inside it! After one of


    the house’s inhabitants walked out, therge door of the flying house was slid open. The second that


    happened, the men—who were still on the ind—immediately heard wretched wailing from inside the


    floating house!”


    “Due to that, all of the men were scared half to death, and for good reason too. It’s described here that


    the wailing that those people made sounded like they were all suffering terribly…”
