Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1349
“…Who is he…?” asked Yume, her eyes turning serious.
From the moment she had first met him, Yume could already tell that Gerald was no ordinary person. While it was
true that Gerald was the heir of the wealthiest and most influential family on the planet, her grandmother still
wouldn’t have needed to devise so many tactics and traps just to capture him if he was merely a regular person.
Hell, her grandmother even ended up colluding with the Judgment Portal just to deal with Gerald!
All this begged a question. Though it was true that Gerald’s current training far exceeded that of his peers, Yreth
could most probably deal with him easily. In other words, there really wasn’t a need for those from the Judgment
Portal—who were even stronger compared to Yume’s family—to collude with the Gunters just to deal with Gerald.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, what need was there to join forces if both parties were clearly capable enough to capture him on their
own?
With that in mind, it was no wonder why Yreth’s words aroused Yume’s curiosity.
Nodding, Yreth then sighed before saying, “…Very well! Come along with me!”
Following that, Yreth led Yume to her exclusive secret room which Yume knew was a forbidden area that only the
current head of the Gunter family was allowed to enter. Upon arriving there, Yreth gently touched a mechanism
which resulted in the door to the room being slowly opened.
Upon taking a single step into the room, Yreth triggered bright lights to suddenly flare to life, illuminating the initial
darkness of what laid beyond the door. As Yume followed closely behind her grandmother, she now realized that
the door led to a massive hall that was at least four hundred square meters. Aside from that, it was also noteworthy
that the stone walls surrounding the hall were made out of bluestone.
Regardless, after walking for a while, both of them eventually stood before a large coffin that was placed atop a
high platform that lay in the middle of what seemed to be a lobby.
The coffin itself looked slightly strange, to say the least. It resembled a crystal eternal coffin, and the bottom of it
was somehow levitating in the air. While the inside of the coffin wasn’t all that clear, Yume could still clearly discern
that inside it was the corpse of a woman.
After staring curiously at the woman for some time, Yume eventually realized that there was much more to awe in
the room.
For one, bookshelves were sticking against every wall in the room, and each of them was filled to the brim with the
Gunter family’s most precious secret books. Aside from that, there was also an incense stand—which currently held
several burning incense sticks—at the northernmost wall, and placed upright near it, was a piece of jade. Taking a
step forward, Yume also noticed the presence of a big alchemy cauldron, its current contents exuding all sorts of

Now at peak curiosity, Yume found herself saying, “Grandma…!”
“Since this is the first time you’re stepping into this place, it can’t be helped that you’d be a little curious.
Regardless, this here is the secret room where our family keeps our most mysterious and prized possessions. While
by right, only the Gunter head is allowed to even step into this room, I’m making an exception for you today!”
stated Yreth rather casually.
Hearing that, Yume gulped before asking, “This… coffin…. Could it be holding the ancient corpse of that woman
that we were previously searching for at the bottom of the ocean…?”
“That’s her, alright!”
