Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1120

As the copper coins in the nine dragons’ mouths dropped to the floor, they seemed to form a particular shape.

Once all of them had fallen, Master Ghost walked over to have a look.

After studying their formation for quite a while, he nodded slightly to himself.

Seeing that, Gerald then asked, “How is it?”

If he was going to be entirely honest, Gerald still couldn’t bring himself to fully believe in the old man’s capabilities.

However, if Master Ghost truly was able to locate both Mila and his uncle, then, and only then, would all his doubts

would be cleared.

“…Well, the reading shows that you have a predestined relationship… As long as you’re able to find this

relationship, then you’ll definitely be able to finally locate the people you’ve been looking for! With that in mind, that

means that the people you’re hoping to find are still alive!” replied the old man with a smile.

Frowning slightly, Gerald then asked, “Then do you know where they currently are?”

Shaking his head, Master Ghost simply replied, “Their location is… blurry, to say the least. Be it near, far, east, or

west, I truly am unable to locate them! However, I have a feeling that this is only the case since you still have a

predestined relationship that has yet to end. In a way, it could be said that you’re being ‘insincere’, and due to that,

you aren’t allowed to get any more information than you need yet.”

‘A predestined relationship…?’ Gerald thought to himself, finding the statement to be extremely odd.

Gerald knew for a fact that he hadn’t had feelings for other women from the moment he had fallen for Mila during

his university days.

What on earth did the predestined relationship come from?

While he did feel guilty toward Giya and he admitted that the feelings he felt for her were complicated, he was

undoubtedly sure that he didn’t love her romantically. Though he would still take the initiative to care for her, he

had also decided to explain everything to her once he could.

As for Lyra, he simply treated her like his sister. While she was technically his fiancée, would that actually make it a

predestined relationship? Gerald certainly didn’t think so.

As for Alice… Well, he didn’t even need to consider her at all.

“I don’t really have a predestined relationship… I’ll say it right now that I’m only in love with Mila, the woman I’m

currently looking for,” said Gerald.

“Haha! Apologies, perhaps I worded it wrongly… The predestined relationship I was talking about relates to your

fate and destiny! While you don’t have love in your reading now, that doesn’t mean that you won’t have it in the

future. After all, your love is simply going according to the natural law… You’ll only get it after cultivating it for a few

generations!” replied Master Ghost with a smile.

“I refuse to believe that. I’m the one who has the final say whether I love someone or not! What natural law? You

know, I’ll be frank and say I hate people like you the most! People who keep on talking about the natural law…

Everyone’s fates are in their own hands!” declared Gerald, a hint of anger in his voice.

He truly hated the feeling of being controlled by others.

“I’m afraid that you’ll have to believe in it even if you don’t like the idea! After all, the reading stated that you still

have a predestined relationship that you’ve yet to encounter. Should you fail to meet with the relationship, then I’m

sorry to say that you’ll never be able to find the woman you love no matter how far and wide you seek out for her,”

replied Master Ghost while shaking his head.

Hearing that, Gerald then took in a deep breath before asking, “…Then tell me what I should do to encounter the

predestined relationship…”

“Your heart already knows, Mr. Crawford. To be more precise, you should ask yourself why you came to Halimark

City in the first place.”

‘…It’s because I needed to head to the king of the ocean’s palace to look for the woman in white’s corpse… She

was in love with the deity who looked identical to me… Yet in the end, they were placed so far apart from each

other…’ Gerald thought to himself.

There were a lot of clues, and all of them seemed to lead to the woman in white.

From what Gerald could tell, he needed to help the deity look for the woman and return her to his side to be buried

together with him. By doing so, Gerald also hoped to reveal the secrets of his identity and background.

Regardless, did Master Ghost’s reading mean that Gerald had a predestined relationship with the woman in white?

How was that even possible?

As Gerald smiled bitterly, he heard Master Ghost mutter, “…Still, how absolutely queer… After studying the reading

a bit more closely, it’s clearly stated here that the predestined relationship is definitely yours… But at the same

time, it isn’t! From what I’m able to tell, she has a direct relationship with you, yet you don’t seem to have a

relationship with her! How baffling!”

After thinking about it for quite a bit—with a frown on his face the entire time—Master Ghost then added, “…

Whatever the case is, you still have to find this woman before you’re able to locate your lover, Mr. Crawford. I have

to say, however, that your reading truly is chaotic! Haha! I’m only able to read so much!”

Watching as Master Ghost shook his head while looking slightly ashamed, Gerald thought to himself, ‘…I guess I’ll go

look for the woman in white’s tomb first then!’

Gerald chose not to reveal to Master Ghost that he had seen another person that looked exactly like him in the

ancient tomb. It seemed that the predestined relationship the woman in white had was actually with the other

person. In any case, Gerald knew he had to find her.

Regardless, he was grateful to be able to confirm that Mila was still alive.

“…Speaking of which, what do you know about the Sun League?” asked Gerald out of the blue.

“The Sun League? I’ve only heard legends about them from my master. Their organization originated from an

ancient era, you know? The league is extremely mysterious and nobody has truly been able to pry into their

secrets. However, they seem to have left some traces here in Halimark City!”

Following that, Master Ghost lowered his voice before adding, “From what I’ve read, I can tell that you’re quite an

extraordinary person, Mr. Crawford. I can assure you that you’ll naturally do even more extraordinary things in the

future. Regardless, till this very day, I’m still unable to fully grasp the meaning of those traces the Sun League left

behind… Perhaps you’ll be able to crack the code.”

“Traces you say?”

“Indeed! About fifty years ago, a stone tablet was excavated… Following that discovery, my master was told by

someone to study it carefully, you see….”
