Chapters 1890.
Yann was happy that Gerald didn't blame her much. He was just shocked, thinking that Gerald would be so mad at him.
"All right, I'll go home first. You keep in touch with Tye Lamano. Tell me about the departure time in advance. I'll come back and get ready for it!"
After that, Gerald reminded Yann.
"OK, of course, Gerald."
Yann nodded and responded obediently. Therefore, Gerald left the house and returned to his office.
Shortly after, he returned to his office. When he enters, Rey and Yrsa are studying at the table, and Juno is playing with her phone next to them.
"How's that? How's your progress?"
Gerald asked them as he entered.
"Brother Gerald, you're back!"
When Rey saw Gerald, she stood up and smiled at him.
"Brother Gerald, Miss Zorn taught us some basic knowledge of the spiritual world. I learned everything about the spiritual world, soul and ghosts."
Rey immediately reported her progress to Gerald.
After Gerald heard that, he nodded in satisfaction.
"good. Not bad. All right, let's have a meeting!"
Gerald answers Rey and suggests a meeting with all of them. The four of them sat around the table.
"There's something I need to tell you. I've just been at Yann's place, and I'll soon be going to Mount Dakriont with him."
Gerald told the three.
"Mount Dakront? Why did you suddenly go there? Isn't that just a tourist attraction?"
Juno was shocked when she heard that. So, he immediately asked in confusion.
"Yes you're right. It has indeed become a tourist attraction. But this time, we teamed up with the Sun Group to find a hidden cave in the mountain!"
Gerald did not hide it from them and explained the situation clearly. Now that Rey and Yrsa are in the team, they need to know everything.
"Sun Group? How did Yann get involved with them ?!"
Juno was shocked once again. He did not expect Yann to be in contact with the Sun Group.
Regarding Sun Group, Juno is also well aware of their business.
"Brother Gerald, this Sun Group is not a viable company. They run a superficially viable business, but they engage with other businesses in secret."
Rey reminded Gerald of that.
"Huh? You know about this?"
Hearing Rey's tone, Gerald asked suspiciously. He does not know that Rey also knows about the real Sun Group business.
"of course. There was no one who did not know about the Sun Group. It's just that they don't want to reveal it!"
Rey nodded and said.
"Well, you're right. But this time, I had no choice. I need to find something very important there, so I can only work with them!"
Gerald explained helplessly.
"Sister Gerald, then I'm coming with you!"
Rey immediately proposed. Gerald glanced at Rey but did not immediately agree to it.

"No, you just stay here this time. I'll head there with Yann!"
Gerald replied while looking at the three.
"But... Mr Crawford-"
"Listen, I know you want to come with me to see and learn more about the world, Rey, but not this time. After all, none of us knows what danger awaits us at Mount Dakriont. There's too much risk involved! With that in mind, please stay here and practice with Miss Zorn for now!"
Gerald replied before Rey could even finish her sentence.
In the end, Rey is still an ordinary person, which means her abilities are very much different from Gerald's.
With that in mind, Gerald had only said all of that before because he was really worried for Rey's sake. Moreover, staying here to train with Juno would definitely be more beneficial for Rey.
By taking the time to practice and properly learn about being a cultivator, Rey will definitely be able to solve the problem along with Gerald - not just be a sidekick - in the future.
After all, understanding where Gerald came from, Rey knew that it was best for her to just agree.
Either way, as soon as Rey agrees, Gerald turns to face Juno before adding,
"As you've expected, I'll hand over everything in the office to you, Juno. If there's something you're not sure about while I'm away, we can discuss it once I get back!"
Nodding in response, Juno then replied,
"Geez! Don't worry about me!"
Juno, for example, did not object to the delegation of Gerald's duties. After all, it was the only way he could support her.
"I will obey your words! Now you two! Continue your training! As for Juno, I'd like to speak to you in person for a moment."
Once they were out of hearing range, Juno inevitably asked,
"Gerald.are you really sure you will cooperate with Sun Group.? I personally don't think they're all reliable."
Smiling subtly in response, Gerald knew where Juno's worries came from. Even so, he simply shook his head before replying,
"Don't worry, those from the Sun Group won't even be able to touch me. Anyway, I headed there in the first place to look for something important.. Remember that picture of a woman we've been trying to track down all this time? I have a feeling that it will appear on Mount Dakriont! With that in mind, I should go there to see for myself!"
"...So. Still, be careful. The one from Sun Group must have a hidden agenda."
Juno muttered worriedly.
Just nodding in response, Gerald then smiled as he patted his back gently.
At that moment, Gerald's phone started ringing. It was a call from Yann. Already guessing well that Yann was calling to let him know that the departure time had been set, Gerald only stared at the phone for a few seconds before finally picking it up and saying,
"Hello? Yes, Yan?"
"Ah, that's you, Gerald. Tye told me about the departure time. We should be at the highway entrance at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!" Reply Yan.
"understand. See you there before nine, then!" Gerald said before hanging up.
"Tomorrow morning? You left so fast, Gerald.?" Juno asked in surprise.
"Indeed. From the looks of it, those from the Sun Group couldn't wait any longer!" answer Gerald.
"...Well, I guess so. Anyway, again, please be careful out there."
Juno said with a sigh, not wanting to nag further.
Soon enough, night fell and by then, Gerald had packed up everything he needed.
While he only packed four sets of clothes, the rest of his luggage consisted of equipment he would probably use during the trip.
After all, no one knew what obstacles they would face during the journey, either, so all Gerald could do was prepare everything relevant that he could think of so that he would not regret not being ready in the middle of the journey.
Chapters 1892.
In any case, since he made sure to pack early, Gerald was able to arrive early that night. After all, the more rest he got, the better his body shape was once he woke up.
It was already morning when he finally woke up again, and after a simple breakfast, Gerald then patted his backpack before going to the highway entrance.
It was nine o'clock when Gerald finally met Yann, Tye, and the others. Just as they were about to say hello to each other, a loud 'clash' was suddenly heard from the trunk of Gerald's car, followed by a loud voice, which was very loud,
"F*ck!"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Gerald - along with several others - immediately went to investigate.
And as she opens the trunk, Gerald is shocked to see Rey lying inside, her arms wrapped around the suitcase bag!
"...What are you doing here, Rey?"
Ask Gerald who was really stunned.
Chuckling awkwardly in response, Rey then timidly smirked as she said, Rey,
"I. well, I just really want to come along! So please let me come with you."
"What is this monkey business? Back to Juno's side!"
Gerald pouted, making Rey pause for a moment.
However, after a while, Rey looked at Gerald with puppy-like eyes before pleading, instead,
"...Please...?"
Upon seeing how pitiful Rey begged, Gerald could only look away with a sigh before saying, Gerald,
"...Oh, fuck... Because you're already here... All right, you can come!"
"Thank you, Mr Crawford!" Excited Rey.
"Who exactly is this, Mr. Crawford..?" Tye asked in a curious tone.
"Ah, he's my student, Chairman Lamano. He's gone with Rey!" Introducing Gerald.
After hearing that, Tye instantly felt more comfortable as she replied with a smile,
"Your disciples, you say? Then let's go together! Who knows, your bond could make you stronger!"
Hearing that, Gerald unwillingly glared at Rey again before gesturing for Rey to follow him to Yann's car.
Only three cars will be driven for this trip, and Gerald is not one of them. Instead, it was just left in the parking lot.
After all, only three people were in Yann's car, with Yann naturally being the driver. Sitting next to her is Gerald, which means only Rey is sitting in the back.
None of them said a word during the first half of the trip. However, finally, the nervous Rey gathered the courage to murmur,
"Please don't be mad at me, Mr. Crawford.. I know I made a mistake..!"
Upon hearing that, Gerald - whose eyes had been closed to date - reopened his eyes before taking out his phone .
"Hello? What's up, Gerald?"
Juno asked on the other end of the phone, sounding relatively surprised as Gerald suddenly called out. Rey is worried when she realizes that Gerald just called Juno.
"Not much, I just want to tell you that in the end, I decided to bring Rey!"
