    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1279


    After walking for a bit, both of them arrived at the private room in question. Stepping inside, both of


    them saw Master Nacol sitting cross-legged and with his eyes closed next to an incense burner,


    seemingly meditating.


    Upon hearing Gerald and Jace’s footsteps, Master Nacol opened his eyes before greeting, “Here you


    are, Mr. Crawford!”


    Wasting no time, Gerald simply replied the greeting before getting straight to business. Jace himself


    had already given Master Nacol a quick rundown on what Gerald was here for today. From what


    Master Nacol understood, Gerald intended to find out where the Ancient City was.


    Master Nacol was willing to grant an audience to Gerald since not only had Gerald made a massive


    donation for his conference this time around, but he had also heard—from Jace—that Gerald had


    saved the lives of all those babies! With that in mind, Master Nacol honestly had great respect for


    Gerald.


    “It’s true that I know where the Ancient City is. In fact, I once went there with a teacher of mine who—


    quite unfortunately—is no longer here. Still, my experience there back then has been embedded deeply


    in my mind till this very day!” said Master Nacol as he took a small sip of tea. His expression—as he


    reminisced—suggested that the memory was a thrilling one.


    Following that, he then looked at Gerald with a smile before asking, “I wonder if you’d be interested in


    listening to my story, Mr. Crawford?”


    “By all means, please share your tale, Master Nacol!” replied Gerald with a nod.


    Hearing that, Master Nacol then began telling a tale that took ce some forty years ago…


    At the time, Nacol had been in his twenties when he followed his teacher—Master Barron Xilts—over to


    Ancient City after receiving an invitation from a mysterious family to help enlighten an old benefactor


    who had heavy thoughts weighing on his mind.


    Ancient City itself was a small city that was located within a mystifying mountain, and those who lived in


    it had been isted from the world for so many generations that no one ever dared to go there to


    cause any trouble. After existing for thousands of years, it was a city filled with endless secrets and


    mysteries.


    Even from ancient times, very few people even knew about the city, and fewer yet were those who


    were able tomunicate with those living within it. Master Nacol’s master was one of the few lucky


    enough to know about it.


    Regardless, upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, both of them came across a young man who was


    about to kill ten young men and women!


    Theyter found out that the cruel man had been persistently trying to force the Gunters toe out


    and show themselves, no matter how vicious he had to get. In fact, by that point, he had already


    murdered several people from the nearby viges since the Gunters kept refusing to see him. From


    that fact alone, it was obvious that he was also very good at scheming.


    Moving back to when they first saw him, Nacol’s master managed to stop him from killing them right in


    the nick of time. However, the cruel man was extremely skillful, and his master fought him for an entire


    day and night before finally managing to subdue the man.


    Upon realizing how many people he had already killed, Nacol’s master wanted to kill him as well to


    make him pay for his actions.

    The young man, however, begged Nacol’s master to spare his life, saying that he had no choice but to


    do all this since he wanted to take revenge.


    After constant begging, Nacol’s master’s heart eventually softened. He then promised to spare the


    cruel man’s life for the time being, ordering him instead to follow Nacol and him into the mountain.


    At the time, they had thought that once they got in touch with the Gunters, they would be able to get the


    truth behind this matter. Quite honestly, Nacol’s master would’ve simply ended that young man’s life if


    he truly was evil.


    After thanking his master repeatedly, the young man promised to build a magnificent monastery for


    him. Though he was apparently extremely rich, Nacol’s master still ended up turning the offer down.


    Traveling along the road together, all three of them eventually arrived at Ancient City.


    “He couldn’t have secretly schemed against your master just to enter Ancient City, right…?” asked


    Gerald rather curiously.


    “Scheme? Hepletely deceived us, that’s what he did!” replied Master Nacol with a bitter smile as


    he shook his head.


    As it turned out, the young man had been extremely strong, even stronger than Nacol’s master! He was


    also, however, extremely good at hiding his own strength. It was the reason why Nacol’s master had


    assumed that he wouldn’t have any trouble subduing him again if he began acting up.


    Regardless, the young man was able to tell that both he and his master were headed to meet the


    Gunters since he realized that they had received an invitation from that family. With that in mind, he


    had lost to Nacol’s master on purpose, just so he could beg his master for mercy.


    He was doing all this since though he was strong, he simply couldn’t get close to the Gunters at all.


    Either way, it waste at night by the time they entered Ancient City. After walking for a while, the


    young man suddenly exposed his true nature and began ughtering the Gunters who had received


    them!


    Naturally, the second Nacol’s master saw this, he immediately attempted to subdue the young man


    again! s, his master was no match for him…
