Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1402

Despite her high status, Gerald watched as her eyes grew red and teary. Who could blame her? After all, she had

been waiting for this moment for thousands of years… To finally be able to reunite with Liemis… To think that even

after going through so many twists and turns, Zyla was still unable to see even his corpse! Who was the one

responsible for such cruelty…?

‘From what Zyla had told me, Liemis’s thought of the soul had ceased to exist around twenty years ago… It was

simply something inevitable that came with my birth… Regardless, while his corpse once lay here, even that is gone

now…’

Clenching his fists tightly, Gerald then said, “Putting aside the fact that this place is highly secluded, I even sealed

this place using a formation in the dragon blood jade pendant… Who could’ve been capable enough to do all

this…?”

“…From what I was able to see while we were still outside, your formation wasn’t ruined at all… In fact, it was

solved, and rather easily too, from the looks of it! The person who broke in seems to have been very familiar with

the topography here as well! They aren’t lacking strength-wise either since they managed to slaughter this giant

anaconda!” muttered Peter as he gloomily walked over to the vexed Gerald’s side.

Peter was naturally just as bummed out as the duo were since, in a way, Liemis had indirectly saved his life before

this… What more, Zyla had helped him a lot throughout their journey. In the end, not only did he fail to reunite her

with Liemis’s corpse, but his corpse wasn’t even present anymore! This only served to increase Peter’s guilt.

As Gerald stood silently at the side in self-reproach, Zyla—who had been standing quite close to the dead anaconda

—found herself shedding a tear that rolled down her cheek and onto the giant snake’s corpse…

With a rather clear ‘plop’, Zyla’s teardrop instantly caused a green light to be emitted from the giant snake…!

Eventually forming the shape of a green orb of light, the orb began emitting a somewhat ‘buzzy’ sound, prompting

both Zyla and Gerald to curiously walk closer to investigate.

After hearing it make a few more strange noises, they were finally able to discern a few words! The orb of green

was trying to communicate with them!

“You’re… back…!” said the rather awkward and unclear voice.

“…Are you the giant anaconda?” asked Gerald in surprise.

While he was glad that they were still able to tell what it was trying to say—albeit a bit slowly—Gerald couldn’t help

but feel that the orb of green greatly resembled the thought of the soul of the Gunter family’s ancestor that he had

taken out the other day.

“Yes, it’s me… Sadly, I’m only capable of meeting you like this since I’ve died, as you can see… Regardless, I’m only

showing myself now since while I was bracing myself for death back then, I had retained my thought of the soul by

holding onto the thought that I wouldn’t pass on until I received the tiniest amount of holy strength… Due to the

tear, I was able to manifest this form with some effort…!” explained the giant anaconda extremely slowly.

“…I see… What exactly happened here…? And don’t worry, I’ll be finding a suitable body for you to attain rebirth

immediately after this! After all, since you’ve managed to manifest the thought of your soul, I’ll just need to use

Thunder Eruption to transfer your soul over!” said Gerald who honestly found the giant snake to be quite pitiful.

After all, it had been captured when it was just a tiny snake before being placed in here as a beast to guard the

tomb. In other words, it had been locked up in here for thousands of years by now.

Now that its mission was finally complete, Gerald had been planning to get a primary forest for it to live there freely

for the rest of its life. Though it was just an animal, Gerald personally felt the need to treat it as a senior. After all, it

had helped him back then when he first entered the ancient tomb.

“While I appreciate it, know that your efforts will be useless. It’s taken great effort for me to retain my soul while

waiting for your arrival in the past twenty over days… With that said, I’ve had to deplete the primary part of my

soul in order to keep this tiny thought of my soul intact for this long. Due to that, once I pass on my message, I’ll

sadly be disappearing for good!” replied the giant snake’s soul with a sigh.

Just from the snake’s words alone, Gerald could feel how lonely it was, and how much it yearned to go to the

outside world.

“…Don’t say that… There must be a way to save you! I’ve plenty of ideas on how to achieve that!” said Gerald

quickly.

Ignoring that statement, the snake then replied in an increasingly weakened voice, “I… Was slaughtered by an

extremely powerful masked old man… Be careful if you ever bump into him… After all, not only is he cruel and

vicious, but he also seems to know you well… Since he’s snatched the God of Battle’s corpse away, it’s evident that

he’s trying to gain something from him…!”

“A… masked old man…?” muttered both Gerald and Zyla as they turned to look at each other…
