Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2320

After looking around to make sure that nobody was listening in, Gerald then whispered, “I’ll tell you about it another

time. There are more pressing issues at hand now.”

“Hmm..? Like what? Do share. Maybe I can help!” replied Lucian.

“Let’s talk about this once we’re in a more private area. The walls have ears and I’d rather not have others hear

this,” muttered Gerald, prompting Lucian to nod before continuing to lead the way following the path on the

invitation card.

It was about twenty minutes later when the trio arrived at a wooden, three-story building that was surrounded by

food stalls and even two pawn shops that apparently only accepted gold and silver as currency. The scene naturally

puzzled Gerald who couldn’t help but wonder how those pawnshops and food stalls had even come here in the first

place. Though he was confused, he put the thought aside for now as he headed upstairs.

The organizer had arranged for them to stay in the easternmost room on the third floor, and since the invitation

grouped the trio together, they soon found themselves looking at an antique-looking suite with three bedrooms

connected by a living room. Though the austere-looking room was well furnished, there wasn’t an electrical

appliance in sight, not even a lightbulb! As Gerald was wondering how they’d keep the room lit at night, his question

was quickly answered when he saw an unopened pack of candles on the table.

Shaking his head, Gerald then put his luggage down before lighting a cigarette and saying in a monotonous tone,

“I’d like to learn the island’s secrets.”

“That’s… going to be a bit difficult. After all, no ordinary island would have rumors about it only reappearing every

time there was an event…” muttered Lucian as he shook his head. While past attendees had certainly been curious

about all this, they had never seriously attempted to crack the code. After all, everyone knew that the organizer-

who had never even shown their face before-was not someone they could afford to mess with.

“Even so, I’m giving it a go. Understanding how this island works is extremely important to me,” replied Gerald with

a sigh, knowing full well how powerful the organizer was. Even after squeezing every ounce of his power, it was still

probably going to be impossible for him to use his essential qi to blow boats forward for hours!

“… Is all this related to that Yearning Island you mentioned earlier…?” asked Lucian.

“Indeed. Let’s just say that that island is similar to this one. As for why I’m trying to get there, it’s because my

parents and sister are trapped on that island, which explains why uncovering this island’s secrets is so important to

me. With any luck, should I manage to learn how this island operates, I may finally get my chance to head to

Yearning Island…” muttered Gerald as he looked out the window.

“I see… Still, you should know that the organizer never makes an appearance. With that said, none of us know their

true identity!” replied Lucian with a slight nod.

Sensing Lucian’s worry, Gerald simply said, “I believe that that can change. While I won’t do anything too drastic

just to crack the code, I’ll still be prying around to see if I can learn anything useful.”

“I’ll help,” replied Lucian as he patted Gerald on the shoulder.

“I appreciate it. Either way, I’ll be getting some rest first. Call me if there’s anything,” said Gerald as he puffed on

his cigarette before walking toward one of the bedrooms.
