    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1694


    Hearing that, the four masters then turned to look at Sumeru as the dean nodded in response.


    “So, you truly do know everything now… I suppose that means that you really are the destined person!


    With that in mind, are you ready to hold that responsibility, Gerald?” asked Sumeru as he stared closely


    at Gerald.


    “I am! After some thought, I feel that locating the Scintiting Gem should be prioritized!” replied Gerald


    in a resolute tone.


    He was cing priority on the gem since with it, he would be able to open the Scroll of Stars. Following


    that, Gerald would hopefully be able to quickly develop the hidden will in his body in order to stand a


    chance against Masrus when the demonic god appeared three hundred dayster.


    “While you’re free to do things in whichever order you please, please remember that the clock is


    constantly ticking. If you can’t locate the gem by the time the three hundred days are up, the only thing


    that awaits our world is ruin!” replied Sumeru without mincing any words.


    “I understand, master! Also, in order to hasten the search, I’m thinking of banding together a small


    team! What do you think of that, master?” asked Gerald.


    Gerald, for one, felt that doing things on his own again would surely make him feel lonely. With that in


    mind, Gerald was nning to bring Nori and the four others along in search of the Scintiting Gem.


    “I see no issue with that. Go on ahead and select the members you see fit to be part of your team!”


    replied Sumeru.


    Hearing that, Gerald then bade farewell to Sumeru and the four great masters before leaving therge


    hall to begin making his preparations.


    Once they were sure that Gerald had left, Jizo couldn’t help but look rather worriedly at Sumeru as he


    asked, “…Do you really think he’ll be able to do it, dean?”


    With the fate of the world on his shoulders, Gerald was most probably feeling immense pressure at the


    moment…


    “…We simply have to believe in him and give him all the support he needs. Otherwise, the world will


    surely end in ruin!” replied Sumeru in a firm tone without giving Jizo a direct answer. Even so, what he


    meant was clear as day.


    With that, all four of the major great masters nodded in understanding, prompting no further questions


    to be asked…


    Sometimeter, Gerald returned to the South pavilion. Upon entering, he saw that Nori and the other


    three were resting inside while chatting among themselves.


    Upon realizing that Gerald had returned, the four of them immediately smiled at him before praising,


    “You’re just way too powerful, Gerald! To think that you’d actually be able to get to the very top of the


    tower! Because of that feat, you’re now immensely famous within the academy, and many are now


    looking up to you!”


    Despite hearing that, Gerald really couldn’t be bothered about such trivial fame. After all, there were


    much more important affairs to deal with at the moment.


    Shaking his head, Gerald then stood before the four people and straightened his back before saying,


    “Alright, putting all that aside… Please listen carefully to what I’m about to say next. I’ll be leaving the


    academy as soon as possible to start locating an item called the Scintiting Gem. With that in mind, I


    was wondering if all of you would be willing toe with me and help look for the gem. Don’t worry,


    I’ve already gained the dean and the four major great masters’ permission. What do you say?”


    Hearing that, Nori and the others were momentarily stunned. After all, it was a lot to take in.

    After a short while, Zelig snapped out of it before asking in a slightly puzzled tone, “The… Scintiting


    Gem? What exactly is that…? And why do we need to leave the academy all of a sudden to look for it?”


    “I’m afraid I can’t share the details with you just yet. However, I’ll definitely do so one day. Regardless,


    my question remains. Are you willing to join me in my search? Do note that we may be facing a lot of


    troubles and dangers throughout the journey, so if you’re reluctant, I understand and I won’t try to force


    you toe along. I’mpletely fine with going alone!” replied Gerald as he retained his serious


    gaze.


    With how serious this affair was, Gerald wasn’t even nning to make a joke to lighten up the mood.


    Seeing that Gerald meant business, Nori and the others found themselves momentarily exchanging


    nces with each other…
