The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2433
“Indeed… You know, at the start, she swore that she’d never get married till the day she got her
revenge. Still… Love isn’t exactly something we can freely control… I’m sure you’re aware that we
were in a rtionship back when we were still studying, right, professor? Though I love her to bits, had
I known that our love would bring this much trouble to our child, I’d have rather died than continue
being in that rtionship with her!” replied Marcel in a slightly remorseful tone as he recalled his past.

“I’m assuming you said that since you eventually found out that the child would die by the age of ten if
she failed to avenge her family and obtain a Divine Fruit? I’m guessing you’re also worried that through
her child’s death, Phoebe’s identity could potentially be exposed to her enemies… Did I get that right?”
asked Gerald after taking a deep breath.
“Bingo. Truth be told, it wasn’t really a big problem when we found out that she had gotten pregnant
back in university. However, once all this was made clear to me, we grew concerned and decided to
just drop out of university to start nning for the child’s future,” exined Marcel.
“So that’s why excellent students like you two suddenly decided to drop out!” replied the professor with
an understanding nod.
“Indeed… We’re sorry to have disappointed you, professor, but there was no other way. Had we not
done that, the child’s safety would’ve been at risk!” muttered Marcel.
“I see… Curious question, but did Phoebe know where the Divine Fruit tree was…?” asked Gerald.
Shaking his head, Marcel then said, “Unfortunately, she remembers little about the fruit. After all, she
was very young when she consumed it. The only hint we have is that the tree is located where
heavenly fire descends… You see, the Willows only passed down secrets through word of mouth.
Since Phoebe’s mother hadn’t been told where the tree was before the mass assassination, the tree’s
location is pretty much lost. Though Phoebe’s mother did manage to salvage the Willow’s Hundred
Herbs Almanac and two sets of witchcraft books, none of them had any records about the Divine Fruit
either!”
“With that in mind, all we could do was slowly watch our son grow till he reached the age of ten… Mind
you, he got to that age about ten years ago, yet we still haven’t managed to locate the tree! That aside,
about our divorce… You see, someone was interested in creating Yangblood pellets with Phoebe’s
help. Fearing that she would be found, both of us agreed to divorce so that Phoebe could escape with
the pellets while I remained here as a distraction to confuse those who were hunting her down,” added
Marcel.
“Yangblood pellets? Also, you said she hasn’t managed to locate the Divine Fruit tree to this day,
correct? With that in mind, your child should be dead. But that doesn’t make any sense! After all, about
a year ago, Phoebe secretly sent me a letter asking for my help to search for the tree!” replied the
confused professor.
“Ah, I forgot to exin that bit. While it’s true that my child who will soon turn twenty should’ve died
years ago, he’s still alive due to the Yangblood pellets,” said Marcel.
This prompted Darkwind to suddenly say, “I’ve heard that Yangblood pellets can only bepleted
when used together with Yinblood pellets… Once they’rebined, they’ll form a holy medicine known
as Yinyang Blood pellets. Regardless, on its own, a Yangblood pellet is capable of stopping a person
from growing for fifteen years. Once fifteen years have passed, however, the person must then take a
Yinblood pellet to stop the effects of the Yangblood pellet and restore the harmony of life.”
“If a Yinblood pellet isn’t taken to regte the invasion of Yang energy before then, the person’s brain
will rapidly be damaged and they’ll find themselves regressing till the point of death! I know about all
this since I had nned to obtain such pellets and hand them to my descendants. Unfortunately…”
muttered Darkwind.
“Well, what Saint Darkwind said is true. My child is currently still alive due to the Yangblood pellet.
Unfortunately, since we don’t have any Yinblood pellets, my child’s already bing slightly
demented. If this goes on, I fear he’ll die in another five years!” replied Marcel.
“I get it now. So you two split up to simultaneously look for Yinblood pellets and the Divine Fruit tree,
correct?” asked the professor with an understanding nod.
“Indeed. You see, Phoebe aside, my son’s the only other heir of the witches left alive! It doesn’t help
that due toplications in the Willow family’s bloodline, she’s only able to give birth once. With all that
said, we’ve truly been struggling for our child for most of our lives!”
