    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1644


    After squatting to inspect the pile of burnt charcoal for a brief moment, Patrick then said, “…This is still


    rtively new. The ones who lit the fire should have stayed here around two days ago!”


    Hearing that, Gerald and Quest turned to look at each other. This was good news! After all, it at least


    proved that the adventure team was still alive two days ago!


    “…Alright, let’s just take refuge here for the moment. We’ll continue our journey once the snowstorm is


    over!” said Quest as heid down his backpack before sitting to conserve energy.


    While the rest did the same, Gerald chose to continue inspecting the surrounding cliff area instead.


    After a while, Gerald called Quest and Patrick over.


    “Mr. Leane and Captain Wang, I’ve scouted the surrounding area for a bit and I’ve found that there


    aren’t any other paths to proceed to. The only way to ascend the mountain from this point on is by


    climbing. To support that statement, just have a look there. If you squint a little, you can see friction


    marks! I’m assuming that’s where the people from that adventure team hung their rope!” exined


    Ged as he pointed at the traces.


    After hearing all that, both Quest and Patrick agreed with Gerald’s analysis.


    “Hmm… Tell me, Gerald, how do you say we should proceed with this?” asked Patrick as he turned to


    look at Gerald.


    “Well, from how I see it, our best option right now would be for me and Mr. Leane to head up to scout


    ahead. You and the others can wait here for us. Once we’ve located the adventure team, we’ll then


    reunite with all of you! How’s that sound?” replied Gerald.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    It was a very steep climb, about thirty feet high. With that in mind, Gerald was afraid that a precarious


    situation—simr to what Patrick had earlier faced—would repeat itself if too many people went


    scouting.


    Regardless, after hearing that, Patrick then turned to look at Quest before asking, “What do you say to


    that, Mr. Leane?”


    “I’ll have to agree with Gerald. We’ll be scouting ahead then!” replied Quest in agreement.


    “Very well, then! Since there aren’t any objections, let’s just go with that!” said Patrick.


    Following that, both Quest and Gerald immediately began getting themselves ready. After packing all


    the necessary equipment into their backpacks, they returned to the thirty feet high cliff…


    Looking up, Quest found himself frowning slightly as he asked, “A bit too high for my tastes… How do


    you reckon we get up there?”


    Quest’s concern was warranted since not only was the cliff extremely high, but there also seemed to be


    very little that looked sturdy enough to be used as leverage. Of course, while Quest found it to be a


    rather hopeless situation, it wasn’t a problem for Gerald.


    “Just leave it to me, Mr. Leane!” replied Gerald with a confident smile as he took out a piece of talisman


    paper as well as a pen.


    “…Hmm? Could… it be that you know how to craft secret technique talismans?” asked Patrick—who


    had followed them there together with the rest of the team to see them off—in a surprised tone.


    As a person from Jaetra, Patrick definitely knew about talismans, and though Gerald didn’t reply,


    Patrick got his answer when the youth began drawing on the talisman paper!


    A few secondster, Gerald tossed hisplete talisman into the air… and just like that, the talisman


    materialized a goldendder out of thin air!


    “After you, Mr. Leane!” said Gerald as he turned to look at the shocked Quest.


    Upon hearing his name, Quest quickly snapped out of his shock and began climbing the goldendder.


    Patrick, on the other hand, still had his jaw gaping wide. He hadn’t expected Gerald to actually be a


    Talisman Master who knew how to make his own secret technique talismans! It made Patrick admire


    Gerald greatly. What more, it exined why Gerald had been so confident in rescuing those people.


    Thinking about it, Gerald’s presence was definitely an honor to the rescue team. If he hadn’t decided to


    come along, they would’ve surely faced much more trouble and possibly even fatalities…
