Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1403
“…Before that, why would you im that he knows Gerald well…?” asked Z as she wiped her tears
away while looking at the orb of green.
“It’s because he knew this ce a little too well. You see, the formation Gerald used to seal the cave is
the formation of the jade pendant, a formation that the God of Battle bestowed upon Gerald… While
ordinary people would undoubtedly be unable to ever solve it, that old man had done so with great
ease… What more, after ughtering me, he used several methods to investigate the God of Battle’s
corpse, mentioning Gerald’s name multiple times in the process… Aside from that, he also kept
repeating the word ‘secret’, so I have a sneaking suspicion that he knows Gerald well!” exined the
giant anaconda.
“Regardless, he didn’t seem to attain what he wanted, which prompted him to bring the eternal coffin
away… Thankfully, it hadn’t dawned upon him at the time that I had rather strong soul power. Ites
with living for over thousands of years. Whatever the case was, though my body perished, my soul
remained, which is why I managed to see all this!” added the snake.
Hearing that, Gerald could only frown as he fell deep into thought.
Just as the snake had said, the formation had been embedded into his memories through the jade
pendant… Seeing that knowledge of that wasn’t solving anything, he then thought about who knew
about this ce. Aside from Christopher, his grandfather, and the mysterious person who had led him
here in the first ce, there wasn’t anyone else that Gerald could think of. Speaking of that mysterious
person, he had yet to appear before Gerald till this very day…
While he knew that something had happened for Christopher to die such a terrible death, Gerald wasn’t
sure whether his grandfather—and the others who had headed to the pledge of the holy water with him
—were still alive. Quite frankly, he didn’t even dare think about it. However, that did mean that his
grandfather and Christopher were physically unable to be the culprits of this incident…
With that said, the mysterious person was the most likely person to have done all this…
‘…The mysterious person… It couldn’t be him, right…? It just wouldn’t make any sense! After all, he
was the one who had led me to the eternal coffin… It must’ve been done out of goodwill, no…?’ Gerald
thought to himself, remembering how the mysterious person had left him a clue when he had met a
brick wall while investigating the Sun League back then.
With the help of his clue, Gerald was able to progress almost instantaneously that day…
‘He had anonymously sent that map—leading to the eternal coffin—to me back then, telling me to head
there alone… After grandpa agreed that I should go, I eventually found the coffin, which allowed me to
make such rapid progress in my training back then… Following that, I finally took revenge for my family
by taking the Moldells out… Regardless, he was also the reason I got so many hints regarding Z’s
incident. Up till this point, he’s been helping me this entire time… Could it be that he’s just using me…?
Is he nning on eventually harming me…? But that doesn’t make any sense! At least not for the
moment…’ Gerald pondered.
“Are you perhaps acquainted with such a secretive and powerful person, Gerald…?” asked Z as she
looked at him.
After thinking for a short while, Gerald then nodded before saying, “…As a matter of fact, I am! I’ve
mentioned him to you before… He’s my master, Finnley, and he’s so strong that even at my current
level of training, I’m still not confident of standing against him! Just so you know, while I’ve sparred with
him daily—while I was still training under him—not once had he ever found the need to disy his true
strength!”
Upon hearing that, Z’s and Peter’s expressions instantly turned stern. After all, someone who was
able to create fear in Gerald—even at his current level of strength—was surely no ordinary powerful
person…

“However, I’m indebted to Finnley. After all, not only did he save my life, but he’s also the one who first
taught me martial arts! He’s always been kind to me, so I truly see no reason for him to do all this…”
added Gerald.
He simply couldn’t figure it out at all. After all, Gerald had even previously reassured himself that
Finnley was the mysterious person who had been helping him out in secret, and he had always felt at
ease with this conclusion. This was due to how rxed he had always felt whenever he was around
that old man.
“…Still, if he truly is that nice to you, don’t you find it odd that he hasn’t met up with you by this point?
Call it a gut feeling, but I feel that your Dehlere Foundation being ruined is directly linked to him!” said
Z after thinking for a while.
Hearing that, Gerald instantly felt an acute pain in his heart as he shook his head before replying,
“That’s simply impossible! I refuse to believe that he’d treat me this way! Even if he really was the
cause of that, I still wish to investigate before jumping to any conclusions!”
At that moment, Jasmine—who had been standing close by this entire time—stepped forward and
pointed at the orb of green while shouting, “Gerald, look there! The thought of the giant anaconda’s
soul is starting to vanish…!”
Turning to face the rapidly fading soul, Gerald put all other thoughts aside for now and instantly used
his Thunder Eruption skill to wrap his essential qi around the thought of the soul, desperately hoping to
preserve it.
“There’s no need to waste your essential qi on me… I’m already fading and there’s nothing you can do
to stop that… Please remember what I said and be careful in everything you do in the future… Live
well, Gerald…!”
