    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1720


    Gerald inquired, “What on earth is this…?”


    “…First and foremost, this location is known as Fishgut Cave, and within this stone pir is an ancient


    longsword known as the Fishgut Sword,” Old Hughes exined to Gerald.


    “…The… Fishgut Sword?” says the narrator. Gerald was perplexed to hear such an unusual name for a


    longsword.


    Old Hughes then retrieved a rolled-up parchment from beneath his coat. When Gerald unfolded it in


    front of him, the first image he saw was of a handsome, strong man and an elderly-looking man


    standing together in a location that looked strikingly simr to where they were now… It was, without a


    doubt, depicting both of them in Fishgut Cave!


    “Is that… us?” Gerald, who was nowpletely perplexed, inquired.


    Hughes replied, slowly revealing a wry grin, “Bingo.” It shows both of us standing in the same ce…


    I knew I was destined to lead someone here when I first discovered this parchment and saw its


    contents… And now, at longst, you’re here!”


    Gerald, understandably, was taken aback by the situation. Gerald could tell that this wasn’t a bluff


    because of how serious Old Hughes was looking at him.


    What a strange coincidence that the parchment depicted their current situation so urately!


    “…What exactly is going on here, Old Hughes?” Gerald, perplexed, didn’t want to be left in the dark any


    longer.


    What was the inspiration for the drawing? What exactly was this location? And what was the


    significance of the longsword in front of him?


    “To put it bluntly, Gerald, you’re doomed! I’m sure you’re the one who’s destined to draw the sword


    from the stone pir because the drawing depicts me bringing you here!” eximed Old Hughes.


    “…Me?” Are you certain…? Isn’t it possible that it’s someone else…?” Gerald responded, slightly taken


    aback by Old Hughes’ im.


    “Since I got this drawing, my boy, I’ve been waiting for you here.

    If you’re not the one, please exin why we’re here today. It was only a matter of time before we met!”


    In response, Old Hughes stated.


    “Ah, I see. So… “What makes the Fishgut Sword so unique?” Gerald finally gave in and looked at the


    sword within the stone pir, which piqued his interest…


    When Old Hughes heard the question, he looked the youth in the eyes and said, “The Fishgut Sword is


    an ancient longsword said to grant its wielder waterbending abilities.”


    I’m sure you’re the only one qualified to use it in the first ce, since you’re the person depicted on the


    map!”


    Gerald could tell the old man wasn’t lying by his serious expression. Old Hughes, on the other hand,


    didn’t have much of a reason to lie about such things in the first ce.


    “…All right, then… So, since I’m going to have to draw the sword, how should I go about it?” Gerald


    enquired.


    Hearing this, the old man grabbed Gerald’s arm and pulled him toward a stone…


    Gerald noticed that a palm print had been carved into it…


    Old Hughesmanded, “ce your hand on it!”


    Gerald, slightly taken aback by the sudden shout, simply did as he was told before returning his gaze to


    the old man and asking, “…Like this?”


    “Hush!” eximed Old Hughes, prompting Gerald to cover his mouth with his hands.


    They could hear the gurgling of water flowing into the cave now that they were both silent…


    Both of them stood there watching as streams of water began to flow up the stone Gerald was holding,


    all of them reaching for the palm-shaped indent…
