Chapter 1648


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1648


    “That’s great to hear! And I agree, the sooner we leave, the better!” replied Gerald.


    Now that they had found the adventure team in one piece, they needed to begin hiking down the same


    way they hade up with in order to reunite with the rest of the rescue team. Once that was done,


    they’d begin descending the mountain…


    While Gerald was still rather curious about the thousand-year-old panax ginseng, he didn’t want to risk


    everyone’s lives just to look for it. Besides, it wasn’t even a proven fact that it was really able to revive


    the dead. With that in mind, the adventure team then began making their way down the mountain.


    As the saying went, descending a mountain was always easier than ascending one. Adding that to the


    fact that Gerald and Quest were providing their aid, the journey downward became much easier to


    bear. With that in mind, it took the group only half an hour to descend halfway down the mountain.


    Ten minutes before they could reunite with Patrick’s group, however, a few white mountain wolves


    suddenly made an appearance!


    “W-wolves?!” shouted several of the people from the adventure team as they immediately began


    bolting down the mountain in fear!


    Gerald himself turned to face Quest before instructing, “Quest! Lead the others away first! I’ll deal with


    these wolves!”


    Hearing that, Quest then replied, “Alright, but be careful! Make sure you return in one piece!”


    With that, Quest instantly began overseeing that the rest made it down safely. Once most of them were


    at a safe distance, Quest turned back to look at how Gerald was doing… Only to see all the wolves


    charging toward the youth!


    At that moment, Quest—and Nori who had turned back to check on Gerald—could only stare wide-


    eyed as Gerald and the wolves plunged down the valley together!


    “G-Gerald…!” cried out Nori, her heart filled with excruciating pain as she watched him disappear from


    sight.


    Though Quest was just as shocked by the turn of events, he quickly began dragging Nori by her arm to


    regroup with the others from the adventure team.


    “L-let go…! I need to go look for Gerald…!” yelled Nori as Quest quickly began leading the others back


    to where Patrick was.


    Though Nori tried her hardest to pry free from Quest’s grip, Quest was definitely not about to allow her


    to put herself in danger. With that in mind, he momentarily tied her wrists with a rope to ease leading


    her down with the rest.


    Despite that, the now teary-eyed Nori still attempted to struggle free of her constraints as she wailed,


    “Please…! He’s definitely still alive…! Please, let me go look for him…!”


    Ignoring her wails, everyone eventually made it back to where the rescue team was…


    Upon seeing how depressed Nori looked and realizing that Gerald wasn’t present, Patrick found


    himself asking, “…What’s wrong? Where’s Gerald?”


    Lowering his head, Quest took a moment before replying, “…While descending the mountain, we


    bumped into a few white wolves… Gerald fought against them to give us room to escape… However,


    at the veryst seconds, all the wolves simultaneously charged at him, and all of them fell into the


    valley…!”


    “…W-what…?” muttered Patrick who was so shocked that he wasn’t even able to say anything else for


    a moment. After all, who could’ve anticipated for such an ident to happen…?


    Even so, the adventure team was sessfully rescued. In other words, the mission was a sess.

    With that in mind, Patrick quickly shook his shock off before dering, “…Let’s descend the mountain


    first. Once we get everyone to safety, we’ll form another rescue team to start looking for Gerald!”


    Hearing that, everyone was forced to agree. After all, they were all well aware that they weren’t out of


    danger just yet. What more, there just wasn’t enough human resources tounch an immediate search


    party. With that in mind, the best move at the moment was for them to return to the bottom of the


    mountain before deciding their next step.


    Nobody even knew whether Gerald was still among the living…


    As the group began descending the mountain, Gerald himself could be seen lying silently atop some


    thickets in the deepest parts of the holy mountain…
