The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1721

It didn’t take long for the streams of water to encircle Gerald’s hand.

Gerald could only make out the vague outline of his hand at this point due to the water’s transparency…

The duo was then greeted by an explosive sound from behind them without warning!

Following that, they were both just in time to see the Fishgut Sword emerge from the pillar! Gerald also realised at that point that the water streams had already receded…

Regardless, his train of thought was interrupted when he heard Old Hughes exclaim, “Get the sword, Gerald!”

Gerald turned to look at the old man when he heard that, then went over to get the sword…

A surge of power rushed from the sword and into his body the second he grabbed it.

Gerald felt a familiar unease in his elixir-of-life field as the immense power spread from his palm before spreading throughout his body…

Gerald knew he was about to have another breakthrough because his elixir-of-life field was overflowing with power!

Gerald exclaimed, surprised and delighted, “I… I can feel another breakthrough coming!”

The Fishgut Sword appeared to be just as powerful as the Astrabyss Sword.

After all, it was only by wielding the swords that he had made breakthroughs!

Gerald quickly sat down after retrieving a Heaven’s apple from his storage ring and eating it, as he was used to similar situations.

Gerald was promoted to the Second rank of the Avatar Realm shortly after the Heaven’s apple took effect!

“How are you feeling now, Gerald?” Old Hughes inquired, his voice slightly concerned.

Gerald smiled subtly, then chuckled before responding, “I’m feeling great!”

The sword was so strong that it allowed me to break through another rank in my strength in an instant!”

While he was pleased with everything, he was also surprised that he had been able to make such a breakthrough. With that out of the way, he knew he needed to thank Old Hughes properly.

After all, Gerald would not have been able to obtain the Fishgut Sword or increase his strength by this much in such a short period of time if it hadn’t been for the old man leading him here.

With all of this in mind, Gerald bowed in front of the old man and said, “Thank you for bringing me here, Old Hughes!”

While I’m grateful to have obtained the Fishgut Sword, I’m still intrigued by its name…”

“Well, in actuality, its true name is the Sword of Courage!” Old Hughes joked when he heard Gerald’s question. You know, it’s one of the ten ancient holy swords.

That power you inherited a while back… The sword has bestowed upon you the power of courage! You should know that the sword only recognises the brave, and those who do are granted immense power!”

While this didn’t explain why the sword had been given that name, it did explain why Gerald had been able to make a breakthrough simply by holding the sword.

After all, he wouldn’t have dared to take on the task of saving the world if he hadn’t been brave…

That’s why the Fishgut Sword smiled at him…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1722

“While we’re on the subject… Do you have any idea what the names of the other nine ancient holy swords are?

Do you have any idea where they are? I’d like to get my hands on them!” Gerald expressed his interest in the swords.

After all, now that he had one, there was no reason why he couldn’t get the remaining nine.

“How about that? If you’re curious, the first sword is known as Xyan, the Sword of Divinity.

The second and third are Xyan, the Sword of Benevolence, and Xenith, the Sword of Sovereignty, respectively…

The Sword of Might, I believe, was the fourth sword, Empyrean. Titan, on the other hand, is the fifth sword and the Sword of Nobility.”

“As for swords six and seven, Gwaine and Morgen, they’re both the Swords of Love. The eighth sword is Fishgut, the Sword of Courage, which you are currently wielding.

If my memory serves me correctly, the ninth sword is known as Jochem, the Sword of Solitary, and the final sword is known as Charmella, the Sword of Elegance!”

“Each of the swords has its own set of abilities, and anyone who can collect all ten of them will possess abilities beyond human comprehension! With that said, whoever wields those swords will undoubtedly become the world’s strongest person!” Old Hughes stated solemnly.

Gerald felt slightly overwhelmed but also ecstatic after hearing that information dump.

After all, if he could just gather all ten of the ancient holy swords, he’d have more than enough power to defeat the demonic god!

“Oh, I see! Then there’s the matter of the nine other swords…”

“I’m afraid I only know where two of the swords are, Gerald, and one of them is already in your hands!” Old Hughes said, shaking his head.

While I know where the Titan Sword—the Sword of Might—is, you’ll have to find the other eight swords on your own!”

Gerald exclaimed, delighted that he might be able to obtain another sword so quickly, “You know where the Titan Sword is?” Could you point me in the right direction?”

“Don’t be in a hurry to get it! After all, you’ve only recently acquired the Fishgut Sword! In any case, don’t be too concerned about the other swords! Because the Fishgut Sword has already acknowledged you, I’m convinced you’re the chosen one! With that in mind, you’ll undoubtedly acquire the other swords one day!” Old Hughes smiled.

“…I suppose you’re correct! Still, thank you so much for bringing me over today! I wouldn’t be able to get this sword without your help! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to repay your kindness someday!” Gerald said gratefully.

Old Hughes laughed again, then waved his hand casually before saying, “That’s not necessary!” After all, you’re destined to get your hands on the sword! My sole purpose is to serve as your guide! Regardless, I wish you good luck with the sword!”

To be honest, if Gerald hadn’t been the fated master of the sword, he would have taken the sword instead of waiting for the youth to arrive.

Unfortunately, some things were simply fated, and Old Hughes, of all people, recognised this.

In any case, the duo quickly exited the area by passing through the small waterfall once more.

Gerald, on the other hand, was surprised to see that the sun was about to rise by the time they got outside.

They couldn’t have been in there that long, could they? Time had flown by…

Suddenly, both of them heard rustling sounds coming from the forest in their direction!

Gerald gripped the Fishgut Sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight now that they were both more aware of their surroundings…

That is, until he heard a familiar voice say, “…Is…” Is that you, Gerald…?” says the narrator.

The sound… It was unmistakably Juno’s!

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1723

“…Miss Zorn?” says the narrator. Is it you, sir?” As he faced the trees, Gerald enquired.

“…Gerald?” So, it’s you!” exclaimed Juno, as she and her servants hurriedly emerged from the trees.

“Miss Zorn, what brings you here?” As he looked at her, Gerald was taken aback.

“What do you mean when you say what brought us here?”

It’s been two days since you left! Even so, I had a feeling you were still alive!

I’m just glad I was able to track you down! What are you doing all the way out here, anyway?”

Gerald turned to look at Old Hughes for a brief moment after hearing Juno’s question before awkwardly replying, “…About that… Let’s just discuss it when we get back. “How are the others doing?” says the narrator.

“Don’t worry, they’re all doing fine. They’re currently recuperating at the Zorn family’s home!” Gerald breathed a sigh of relief as Juno replied with a smile.

“All right, then… “Who is he now…?” Juno inquired, raising a brow and casting a glance at Old Hughes.

“This is Old Hughes, and he’s the one who saved me!” Gerald said after a brief moment of staring at the elderly gentleman.

“…Oh? I see what you mean! So, Old Hughes, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Juno Zorn: My name is Juno Zorn, and I am the Zorn family’s eldest young lady! “Many thanks for rescuing Gerald!” Juno said this in an obnoxious tone.

“There’s no need to thank me!” Old Hughes replied with a smile. Anyone would have acted in the same way!

After all, as the saying goes, “saving a life is more valuable than constructing a seven-story pagoda”! Also, the pleasure is mine, Zorn family’s eldest young lady!”
