Ch. 1636..1640: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1636-1640
Chapter 1636
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1636 “Alright, let’s begin!”
Chadrick nodded and signaled for him to start.
Once he had said that, Gerald quickly took the brush and started drawing on the talisman paper.
Gerald drew the patterns from his memory. He had decided to give a hard slap to the faces of Lloyd and Nolan so that he could make his tutor proud.
Therefore, Gerald did not plan to produce a high quality secret technique talisman. In fact, he planned to produce a higher quality one, that was, a rare quality secret technique talisman, which was none other than the golden dragon talisman that he had succeeded in doing today.
However, there was one concern he had. He had only succeeded in drawing the golden dragon talisman after practicing a few times. He wasn’t sure if he would be successful this time.
So, Gerald knew that he had to take a chance.
Honestly speaking, producing a high-quality secret technique talisman was not a problem at all to Gerald. He could draw the patterns easily. However, he knew he could not prove his ability too easily. Since he wanted to prove his ability, he had to amaze them.
A few minutes later, Gerald finished drawing the talisman and threw it into the sky.
The talisman turned into a golden ray and disappeared.
It was a failure!
Seeing this, Chace was dumbfounded.
Chadrick cocked his eyebrows, his face darkening, and Lloyd didn’t waste the chance to worsen the situation.
“Just as I have told you earlier, Great Master. Chace and his disciple were bluffing!” Lloyd shouted at Chadrick.
Gerald looked very grave. He knew what consequences he would bring to Chace if he failed.
“Great Master, I was too nervous and accidentally made a mistake. Please give me one more chance!”
Gerald begged.
“If you can’t do it, you just can’t, even if you are given a second chance. Great Master, you must punish Chace and his disciple severely!”
When Lloyd heard it, he barked at Gerald angrily and suggested this to Chadrick.
Chadrick fell into deep thought. In truth, he had somehow guessed what Gerald was drawing on the talisman paper based on his strokes and the pattern, and he had thought that the golden ray was unusual.
“Okay, I will give you one more chance!”
After quite some time, Chadrick agreed to give Gerald another chance.
Gerald and Chace were delighted when they heard that. On the other hand, Lloyd was very irritated and wondered why Chadrick would make such a decision.
Gerald started drawing a talisman for the second time.
This time, he knew he had to succeed, or he would be done for.
Gerald closed his eyes tightly. He was not in a rush to start drawing, but he was searching in his mind on how he had drawn the pattern this morning.
“Just forget it if you can’t do it. Don’t waste time anymore!”
Seeing Gerald hesitate to move his brush, Lloyd sneered at him again.
Gerald opened his eyes wide suddenly and started drawing on the talisman paper like the wind.
Every stroke Gerald drew on the talisman paper looked very strange.
Meanwhile, Chadrick, who was watching the way Gerald did his strokes from above, was shocked at what he was seeing.
“This is…”
Chadrick couldn’t help but feel that the strokes and patterns Gerald was drawing seemed very familiar.
The next second, Gerald finished drawing the talisman. The moment he put down his brush, he threw the talisman into the air.
A brilliant golden ray emanated from the talisman, instantly illuminating the whole Great Master Hall, and a golden dragon surged out from the golden light and surrounded Gerald.
Chapter 1637
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1637 “A talisman of perfect quality!”
Chace exclaimed in great surprise when he saw this.
The golden light was shining brightly with the purple qi drifting from the east, and the white mist surrounded them. It was a magnificent scene.
That’s right. Gerald had actually produced a perfect quality secret technique talisman!
“This. How could this be possible?!”
Lloyd, who was standing on the side, could not believe what he was seeing. He shouted with his eyes wide open.
Although he did not believe it, it did not change the fact that it was right before his eyes.
At the same time, Chadrick was equally flabbergasted. He didn’t expect that Gerald would actually produce a perfect quality secret technique talisman as he knew perfectly well that even he himself was unable to do so.
“You. How did you do it?”
Chadrick asked Gerald immediately.
“Great Master, I just kept practicing and exploring. Before I came here, I had already produced a rare- quality talisman successfully!” Gerald answered right away.
Hearing his answer, Chadrick nodded in satisfaction.
“Chace, your disciple is indeed extremely talented. From now on, he will be a One-rank Talisman Master in the Talisman Hall!”
Then, he praised Chace and granted Gerald the title.
A One-rank Talisman Master. This meant that Gerald was now enjoying the same status as a tutor, and this honorable status was very precious. When he received the title as a One-rank Talisman Master from the Talisman Hall, it would also mean that his status would be very high in the whole of Jaellatra.
“Great Master, you…”
Lloyd was naturally the first person who was unwilling to accept this. He approached Chadrick immediately as if wanting to say something.
Chadrick knew what was going through Llyod’s mind. Without waiting for him to say anything, he stopped him first. “Lloyd, I know what you want to say, but this matter is settled. Alright, off you go now. I still have things to do!”
Lloyd felt helpless, but he could only swallow his anger and leave with his disciple.
As for Chace and Gerald, the tutor and the disciple were overjoyed, thinking that Lloyd was shooting himself in the foot.
After leaving the Talisman Hall, Chace smiled at Gerald and praised him. “Gerald, you are now a tutor in the Talisman Hall! Your future depends on yourself now.”
“Master, even though I have become a tutor, you are still my teacher!”
Gerald looked at Chace with an unwavering gaze as he spoke.
As the saying went, once a teacher, always a teacher.
If it wasn’t for Chace being willing to accept him as his disciple, how could he have achieved such an accomplishment?
Hearing Gerald’s words, Chace felt warm in his heart. He had indeed chosen the right disciple.
Very soon, Chace brought Gerald to report to the Talisman Hall to retrieve the badge of a One-rank Talisman Master. Gerald had indeed become a tutor in the Talisman Hall!
Once everything had been settled, Gerald went to the residence of the Zahn family.
Gerald hadn’t seen Nori since the last time she had come, so he wondered what she had been doing over these few days.
Now, Gerald was already a familiar guest of the Zahn family, so no one would stop him from entering and leaving anymore.
When he reached the hall, he saw Yoshua talking to his butler.
“Master Zahn!”
Gerald entered the lobby and greeted Yoshua politely.
“Gerald, you are here. Quick, come and have a seat. How’re your studies at Master Hunt’s place?”
When Yoshua saw Gerald, his face lit up, and he asked Gerald with concern immediately.
Chapter 1638
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1638
“Wow, this is the badge of a One-rank Talisman Master. So, you have become a tutor?”
Before Gerald could even reply, Yoshua had already noticed the One-rank Talisman Master on his chest and cheered in surprise.
Yoshua could easily recognize the badge because Chace Hunt had a Two-rank Talisman Master badge.
“Yes, Master Zahn. However, I must thank you a lot for this. It was you who gave me such a good opportunity to become the disciple of Master Hunt and get to where I am today!”
Gerald was an appreciative person. It was only natural that he would be grateful to Yoshua.
“Ha! Ha!”
“It’s not a big deal at all. It’s the result of your hard work!”
Yoshua waved his hand at Gerald as he laughed.
Seeing Gerald successful made Yoshua happy. At least it made him feel that he had not helped the wrong person.
“Oh right, Master Zahn. Why don’t I see Nori anywhere?”
Gerald then asked Yoshua in confusion.
Nori had always stayed by Yoshua’s side. However, she was not with him today, which made Gerald feel very strange.
“Now that you’ve mentioned Nori, she’s been out these few days, saying that she was going to join an expedition to the holy mountain to search for a thousand-year-old panax ginseng.
Yoshua answered Gerald’s query.
“A thousand-year-old panax ginseng? What is that?”
Gerald was confused.
“It’s an ancient herb that only grows once every one thousand years. It’s more precious than ginseng!” Yoshua explained.
This triggered Gerald’s curiosity. But why hadn’t Nori told him about this? Moreover, why was she interested in this ancient herb? There had to be some unknown secrets in this matter.
“Master! Master!”
Right at that moment, a servant came running from the door hurriedly as he shouted for Yoshua anxiously.
“What happened? Why are you so anxious?”
Yoshua frowned and asked.
“The young lady… It’s about Young Lady and the rest! They met with an accident in the holy mountain! I just heard that there was an avalanche in the holy mountain recently, and a lot of snow fell down the mountainside. The situation is very worrying!”
The servant quickly told Yoshua the news he had just received.
Yoshua was stunned after hearing the news.
“You… You can’t possibly be joking around with this matter?!”
Yoshua questioned him in disbelief. His daughter had left just two days ago, and now, he was already receiving such horrible news. It was truly hard for him to accept it.
Just as he said that, a group of armored men entered through the door.
These men crowded into the house quickly. Among them, there was a leader, and he was wearing a black military uniform.
“Hello, Master Zahn. I’m the captain of the army of Jaellatra, Patrick Wang. I’m here today regarding the matter of the young lady of your family and her expedition team in the holy mountain!”
Patrick stood before Yoshua and told him with a serious face.
Now, Yoshua knew that it was not fake news, but something had truly happened to them.
Yoshua’s legs gave out. Luckily, his butler and servant, who were standing behind him, quickly supported him and prevented him from falling.
On the other hand, Gerald was also very worried. He turned around and left the house immediately. He knew he had to go to the holy mountain and save Nori himself.
Once he had left the residence of the Zahn family, Gerald headed to the main city of Earth Capital. He had to buy some supplies and equipment before heading to the holy mountain. Otherwise, going there alone unprepared was no different than asking for his own death.
Chapter 1639
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1639
After preparing for almost two hours, Gerald was fully equipped.
He returned to the residence of the Zahn family once again, and he saw Yoshua and Patrick, who were just about to leave for the army camp nearest to the holy mountain.
Seeing Gerald come back made Yoshua very surprised.
He had previously thought that Gerald did not want to bother about this matter. But now, seeing that he was fully equipped, he knew that the latter had gone to make preparations just now.
“Master Zahn, I hope I can go save Nori as well!”
Gerald looked at Yoshua and said righteously.
Although Gerald and Nori were not romantically involved with each other, he saw Nori as his best friend.
Now that Nori was in a very dangerous situation, Gerald could not just sit still. He had to go and save her.
“Gerald.”
“Master Zahn, Nori is my best friend. I cannot just leave her alone!”
Yoshua wanted to say something, but Gerald interrupted immediately.
Hearing Gerald’s words, Yoshua felt warmth in his heart, thinking that his daughter had made a good friend.
Since Gerald had the intention to do so, he would naturally choose to say yes.
“Captain Wang, can he join the rescue mission?”
Yoshua then looked at Patrick, who was standing beside him, and requested.
Patrick glanced at Gerald. After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded. “Yes, he can!”
“Thank you very much, Captain Wang!”
Gerald thanked Patrick as well. He had initially thought that Patrick would not agree to it, but now, it looked like it wasn’t the case.
Soon, they arrived at the temporary camp a few miles away from the holy mountain.
Since the weather and condition of the holy mountain were very harsh right now, the rescue team was not able to get close to it. For the sake of safety, they could only build a temporary camp a few miles away from the mountain.
When they arrived at the camp, a group of men was already gathering around a table, discussing the rescue plan.
“Come, let me introduce you. He is a polar expedition expert, Quest Leane. This is a medical expert, Kaleb Wallor. And this is a geologist, Malcolm Laige.”
Once Patrick walked into the camp, he introduced the three who were already there to Gerald.
“This is Gerald Crawford. He will be one of the members of the rescue team this time!”
Gerald greeted them briefly.
“What’s your expertise, Brother Crawford? The trip to the holy mountain this time is not a simple one!”
Quest asked Gerald right away.
“I don’t know anything!”
Gerald replied calmly.
Hearing this, the three immediately cocked their eyebrows and put on a displeased look on their faces.
“Brother Crawford, if you know nothing, I think you should not join the rescue mission this time. We don’t have the extra energy to take care of you!”
Quest proposed to Gerald with a disapproving tone.
The members of the rescue team were mostly experts in some areas, so they certainly did not want someone who knew nothing to join them.
Hearing this, Gerald couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t expect that these people would look down upon him.
“Don’t worry. I don’t need your care nor your help. You should better take care of yourselves!”
Not wanting to be outdone, Gerald refuted.
After that, Gerald turned around and walked out of the tent. He walked to an open space and sat down, packing and checking his equipment.
Quest and the rest did not want to bother about Gerald. It was for the best that Gerald had said that, so they did not need to care about Gerald’s life or death.
Chapter 1640
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1640
The holy mountain was a few thousand meters above sea level. The higher up the mountain, the lower the temperature and atmospheric pressure would be. Moreover, the condition on the mountain was very harsh now. The wind was fierce, and the snow was heavy. It was very dangerous.
Hence, it could be said that the rescue mission to the holy mountain this time was very risky.
“Everyone, since there will be a Force 6 wind as well as a snowstorm tonight, we have decided to set the departure time at seven o’clock tomorrow morning. I hope that everyone can rest well tonight to conserve your energy!”
Soon, Patrick came and informed Gerald and the rest.
Tonight was going to be a sleepless night.
As the night was getting old, Gerald leaned on his backpack alone and closed his eyes for a short rest.
Just then, he heard something.
Gerald opened his eyes immediately and looked in the direction of the camp Quest and the other two were staying. He saw two figures sneaking out of the tent, and they were acting very cautiously.
Through the darkness, Gerald could see the faces of these two men.
They were none other than Kaleb Wallor and Malcolm Laige.
Seeing this, Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle in silence. He didn’t expect the two people who had been mocking him this afternoon to be attempting to escape. This was indeed too shameful.
After thinking for a while, Gerald got up and quietly approached the two of them.
“Where are you two going?”
At the next moment, Gerald asked as he appeared behind Kaleb and Malcolm.
Gerald’s appearance almost scared them to death. They were so shocked that they fell to the ground.
“You… Why aren’t you asleep seeing as it’s the middle of the night but instead, you’re scaring people here?!”
Kaleb glared at Gerald and shouted with a trembling voice.
“Hah! If I were asleep, how would I be able to see you two escaping?”
Gerald smirked and sneered.
“You… Don’t slander people here. We were just checking the weather!”
At Gerald’s words, Malcolm and Kaleb exchanged glances and refuted, pointing their fingers at Gerald.
“You still don’t want to admit it. How shameless.”
Click!
Right at that moment, the lights came on.
Patrick, Quest, and the rest came out of the tents immediately. They had been awakened by the noise outside.
“What’s wrong?”
Patrick approached them and asked.
“Captain Wang, it looks like you didn’t arrange your men to keep watch at night. These two were in the middle of escaping, and I happened to catch them red-handed!”
Gerald would not hide it for them, and he told Patrick this playfully.
Once Patrick heard him, his face darkened.
Swish!
A figure rushed forward, grabbing the collars of Kaleb and Malcolm’s shirts.
It was Quest Leane. He glared at them angrily.
“You cowards! How dare you escape?! I shall teach you a good lesson!”
Quest roared angrily and wanted to beat them up.
Luckily, Patrick and the other men stopped him in time. Otherwise, Kaleb and Malcolm would have been torn apart by Quest. Nobody would have expected this to happen.
“You two, tell me honestly. What is really going on?”
Patrick stopped Quest and asked as he looked at them coldly.
