The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1681

When Master Ykink heard him, a smile appeared on his face.

His impression toward Gerald was getting better and better now. After all, his status now was different as he was a student of the dean.

“Master Ykink, living here alone is a bit boring. Can I get a few people to live here with me? I have some friends studying in the academy as well!”

After thinking for a while, Gerald proposed to Karsten.

“Um… This…”

Master Ykink showed a doubtful face immediately.

Such a thing had never happened in the academy before, as Gerald’s identity was different from the rest.

Gerald took out a Heaven’s Apple from his storage ring immediately and gave it to Karsten.

“Master Ykink, this is a token of appreciation from me. Please help me with this!” Gerald pleaded with Karsten.

The moment Kasten saw Gerald taking out a Heaven’s Apple, he was dumbfounded.

He never expected Gerald to have a holy fruit.

“A Heaven’s Apple! Where… where did you get this?!” Karsten looked at Gerald in surprise and asked.

In the whole of Leicom Continent, there was only one place that grew Heaven’s Apples. Naturally, Kasten Ykink would know about it. However, he was very surprised that Gerald actually had one.

“Oh, someone gave it to me!”

Gerald smiled slightly and explained briefly.

Nevertheless, Karsten could sense that Gerald was hiding something, but he did not want to question him any further.

Since Gerald was so sincere, he was very willing to help him with it. So, he quickly took the Heaven’s Apple from Gerald and secured it in his pocket.

The Heaven’s Apple was such a precious thing that not just anyone could get. Karsten would of course accept the gift.

“Just tell me, Gerald. Who are the few that you want to live here with you? I shall make the arrangements for you!”

After that, Karsten agreed right away.

Gerald leaned closer to Karsten and whispered three names into Karsten’s ear.

“Alright, no problem. I’ll make the arrangements now. But Gerald, please keep this between just the two of us. You shouldn’t let the others know about this, or else the dean and the masters would blame me for it!”

Karsten did not forget to remind Gerald.

Gerald understood this well. He knew that this was not an honorable thing to do, but he didn’t want to live alone in this place.

Besides, Zelig, Nori, and Cyril were his friends. When he had such a good thing, of course he should share it with them. Moreover, Gerald didn’t want them to live here uncomfortably.

“Then, all is settled. Wait here first, and I will make arrangements for them to come and live here with you!”

Karsten instructed Gerald one last time before turning around and leaving.

Then, Gerald sat outside the pavilion and waited.

After ten minutes or so, he saw Karsten coming to the pavilion again with his three friends.

“Gerald!”

At the sight of Gerald, Nori couldn’t help but shout. She ran and skipped forward happily.

“Gerald, I shall not disturb you all now. You can clean up on your own. Tell me if you need anything!” Karsten did not want to disturb them anymore, so he left after advising them.

Looking at how Karsten treated Gerald with such respect, Nori and the other two were shocked.

“Gerald, what have you done to make Master Ykink treat you with such respect? And why are you here? What did you call us here for?”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1682

Nori asked Gerald three questions in succession.

Gerald’s lips curled upward, and he said to them, “From now on, this place will be our residence. I am now the student of the dean!”

Hearing this, the three were even more amazed.

“Brother Gerald, are you kidding with us again? Are you really the student of the dean?” Cyril asked, looking at Gerald suspiciously.

“Well, I know you won’t believe me right away. Here, let me show you something. This is the special wooden token the dean gave me. If you still don’t believe me, you can go and ask Master Ykink!”

As Gerald was talking, he fished out the special wooden token Sumeru had given to him from his pocket and showed it to them.

Now, Nori, Zelig, and Cyril finally believed him. No wonder Master Ykink was so respectful toward Gerald. Evidently, this was the reason behind it.

“Gerald, you’re so cool! You actually become the student of the dean, plus, you get to live in such a good place!” Nori praised Gerald and looked at him with admiration.

“Ha! Ha!”

Gerald chuckled.

“But now, you will all live here together with me. That way, I won’t be so lonely!”

Hearing Gerald’s words, Nori, Zelig, and Cyril were taken aback. They didn’t expect that Gerald would let them live here with him.

Soon, the four friends roughly cleaned up the place and went to the canteen for dinner.

In Leicom Academy, there was a place specially designed for them to have meals. It was the same as the one on earth, just that the only difference was that it was in another world.

The four friends went to the canteen and took their food. Then, they sat together to eat and chat.

“Get out of the way! It’s the elite class’s turn to have a meal. Get lost, all of you!”

Right then, a furious and cold voice was heard.

They were all students from the elite class. Just by taking a look at them, they already felt that these people were very arrogant and domineering.

The students there quickly left when they saw the students from the elite class. Nobody dared to offend them.

“Gerald, they don’t seem to be friendly. What should we do?” Nori looked at Gerald and asked.

The others might be scared of the elite class, but not Gerald. Gerald was a student of the dean, so his status was even higher than those students. Moreover, Gerald was strong, so why must he fear them?

“Just ignore them. Let’s continue eating!”

Gerald said calmly. Then, they continued to eat their meals.

Seeing that Gerald and his friends had remained in their seats, the few students from the elite class walked toward them and surrounded the four of them,

“Hey, you four. Didn’t you understand what we said? It’s the elite class’s turn for meals now. If you know who you are, get lost, then. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being unfriendly!”

A man with a buzzcut haircut glared at them and scolded them in a cold tone.

These elite students were roughly Three- or Four-soul-rank of Sage Realm. They were more or less strong.

Right after the man with the buzzcut haircut had finished talking, he was flung into the sky by a strong force.

The one who had struck him was none other than Gerald.

“Where did that wild dog come from? This is a shared eating place. This is not the territory of the elite class!”

Gerald squeezed out the words coldly.

Immediately, the other elite students around prepared to fight.

All at once, swords were drawn, and the smell of fire was very strong. A big battle could erupt at any time.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1683

“Kid, you must be tired of living!” The man said furiously. As he said that, he slammed his fist toward Gerald.

Before he could touch Gerald, Gerald gave him a swift slap and sent him flying out. The man fell heavily on the table, splitting it into two halves.

“Stop!”

Right then, a serious voice was heard.

The master of the voice was Master Ykink.

He came in through the door and walked toward Gerald in quick steps.

Seeing the arrival of Master Ykink, everyone fell into silence and dared not act hastily. The few elite students even lowered their heads.

“Master Ykink!”

Everyone at the scene greeted him.

Karsten approached Gerald and asked with a serious face, “What’s going on? Who let you fight in the canteen?”

Although Gerald held a special status, he still had to act stern in front of other people.

“Master Ykink, it’s those elite students who started it. We were having our meals here, and they chased us out right after they came in, saying that it was the elite students’ turn to have their meal!”

Gerald stood still steadily and explained it to Master Ykink.

Upon hearing this, Master Ykink frowned even deeper. Then, he turned to the elite students and glared at them.

“The canteen is a shared place. Since when has it become your place for meals?” questioned Master Ykink.

The elite students did not dare to refute this. Although they were in the elite class, they did not dare to offend Master Ykink.
