Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1651

So that’s why the herbs had been kept so well hidden from the rest of the world… June was even here to constantly stand guard over the thousand-year-old panax ginsengs!

“Nobody should ever get their hands on the herbs… Otherwise, catastrophe will be sure to follow! I’m sure you can understand that, right?” said June as she stared at Gerald.

Now understanding the consequences that could happen, Gerald simply nodded as he replied, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take any of them!”

“I’m glad to hear that. Regardless, I’ll be giving you something to express my gratitude!” said June as she gracefully waved her hand, prompting a small, cubic treasure box of sorts to materialize within her palm…

After receiving the treasure box from June, the curious Gerald wondered what she had just given him. Carefully prying the box open, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a single tiny pellet inside…

Looking up at June, Gerald then said, “…This…”

“That’s a rejuvenating pellet, and it’s the only one I constantly keep with me. I can sense how strong you are, so I’ll be leaving this pill with you. May it be useful to you!” replied June.

Gerald was honestly flabbergasted by this turn of events. After all, June was actually willing to give him such an invaluable thing. This was the only existing rejuvenating pellet for heaven’s sake!

“I… I appreciate that you’re giving me such a precious gift… I… How should I even thank you…?” asked Gerald, honestly feeling that he didn’t deserve to be given such an invaluable item out of the blue.

“There’s no need to thank me!” replied June rather casually.

Following that, she led Gerald away from her garden and back to her home…

It wasn’t long after when night fell…

Despite how dark the sky had gotten, the inside of a temporary camp—that had been set up quite a distance from the holy mountain—was still brightly lit…

While Quest and the others had made it back to the camp in one piece—and were currently inside that tent—, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces.

After witnessing what had happened to Gerald, everyone was either absent-minded or filled with overwhelming grief at the moment…

Nori herself was sitting outside alone. Staring intently at the holy mountain, she could only hope that Gerald would suddenly appear in the distance and begin running toward her…

At that moment, Yoshua’s voice could suddenly be heard shouting, “Nori!”

Rushing toward his daughter, Yoshua felt like a massive load had just been lifted off his chest when he realized that she was doing fine.

Staring at Yoshua with teary eyes, Nori got to her feet and embraced her father before saying, “…Dad… Gerald… he… He fell into the valley…!”

“…What? Gerald fell into the valley? Nori, please give me more details!” replied the now trembling Yoshua as he stared wide-eyed at his daughter.

If Gerald was truly gone… then how was he going to explain all this to Chace and the Talisman Union…?

Gerald had just become a First-rank Talisman Master in the Talisman Union too! The thought of him dying so soon after that… It was shocking, to say the least…

Following that, Nori began telling her father what had happened on the holy mountain… By the end of her tale, even Yoshua found the turn of events slightly hard to believe.

To think that Gerald had sacrificed his safety just to protect the adventure team from those white wolves… What a truly heroic act…

Patting his daughter’s back, Yoshua then consoled, “Don’t worry, Nori. Gerald will definitely make it back safely!”

Nodding in response, Nori hoped with all her heart that Gerald would make a safe return as well…

Meanwhile in Magic Land, Gerald himself was having a meal while chatting with June, completely oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.

Not even knowing how anxiously Nori and the others were awaiting his return, Gerald took a sip of tea before looking toward June and asking, “Speaking of which… Have you been guarding this place this entire time? Could it be that you’ve never left this place before…?”

Shaking her head in response, June then said, “I’d love to go out myself, honestly… Unfortunately, I’m simply unable to do so!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Call it a… barrier of sorts. A barrier made just for me… Since I’ve been given the responsibility of guarding Magic Land, I’m incapable of going past that barrier… Not to worry though, anyone aside from me can still go past it…” replied June as she sighed.

Living here alone for so long without even the slightest contact with the outside world… It must’ve been painful…

While Gerald couldn’t quite pinpoint how much pain June was in when she said that, he could tell that she really wanted to leave this place…

Even so, Gerald personally hoped that June wouldn’t enter the outside world. After all, things out there were much more dangerous and viler compared to the conditions within Magic Land. While thinking about that, Gerald also found himself hoping that other outsiders wouldn’t be able to find this place.

After all, with so many thousand-year-old panax ginsengs here, their discovery by the public would definitely cause a massive uproar. To prevent all that chaos in the first place, it was best that some things remained unfound and subsequently unchanged…

Late into the night, Gerald—who had been leaning against his chair for a while—eventually dozed off… It was a nice, calming slumber, and Gerald hadn’t felt this comfortable in quite a while…

It was around dawn when he was awoken by June’s voice saying, “Are you awake…?”

Opening his eyes, Gerald saw that June was sitting before him.

“I am now… You’re quite the early bird as well I see…” replied Gerald.

“Indeed. Regardless, since you’re already awake, let’s get you out of this place…,” said June.

Having no objections to that, it suddenly came across Gerald’s mind that he had technically been ‘missing’ for the entire night ever since he fell into the valley. With that in mind, he was now worried about how anxious Nori and the others must be feeling at the moment.

Whatever the case was, once they were outside June’s house, she took his hand before leaping together with him, soaring high into the sky…

Eventually, both of them landed before a small boulevard of sorts…

Pointing at the boulevard, June then said, “You can leave by walking through here.”

“I see… Thank you for everything!” replied Gerald in a gratuitous tone before walking into the boulevard…

As he walked on, the scene before him seemed to suddenly warp… and all of a sudden, he realized that he was no longer in Magic Land! Looking around, Gerald found that he was now in a forest at the foot of the holy mountain…

Though mystified, Gerald knew that he had to keep this location a secret for as long as he lived…

With that, he then began walking out of the forest. It wasn’t too long after when he arrived before the temporary camp. Surprisingly, the exit was this close to the camp!

Standing before the camp, Gerald saw that Quest and the others were seriously discussing something inside…

It took them a while to realize, but eventually, Nori found herself compelled to look out of the tent… and once she did, her eyes instantly widened. Gerald… he was standing there…

He was safe…!

The second she managed to snap out of her stupefied state, Nori immediately yelled, “G-Gerald…!”

Now teary-eyed, Nori then rushed over and hugged him tightly.

Realizing that Gerald was in one piece, Quest and the others were equally as delighted and surprised.

As they ran over to him as well, Nori was already scanning Gerald from head to toe while asking, “A-are you alright Gerald? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Seeing how worried she was, Gerald could only smile before replying, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!”

Hearing that, Nori was so relieved that she found herself gently hitting her small hands against his chest while whining, “You… You really scared me half to death this time…!”

The solace she was now getting after witnessing yesterday’s events was simply too much…
