Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1054

As Kort gulped loudly, clearly frightened by what he had just witnessed, Christopher chuckled softly before saying, "So, are you still worried about the two of them?"

“T-not at all! You must be the most powerful person in the world! With you who are clearly invincible, we can avenge your two grandchildren! I'll take you down the mountain!” kort said excitedly.

"Ha huh! Still, honestly you don't have to come looking for me all the way here. Anyway, I will leave that mountain soon,” Christopher replied with a smile.

Hearing that, Kort seemed to remember something.

“...Now that I think about it, just before you went into seclusion twenty years ago, I remember you telling me that you wanted to make preparations for the pledge of holy water… I also remember that the pledge was held once every thirty years. … From what I know, the day is getting closer! Since you seem to have earned a great master's degree for at least ten years now — judging from your strength — You can definitely represent our family to join the promise!

“You remember correctly. You know, my father died when he participated in the holy water pledge. On the day that it happened, I swore to myself that one day I would arrive in the realm of legend and live the pledge of holy water before I die,” Christopher replied in memory.

“Talking about the promise of holy water, I remember you showed me the image of Warhill Mountain before you entered exile. I saw him again yesterday at the Crawford house. Apparently, Crawford's grandfather and grandson wanted to solve the mystery behind the Sun League!” kort said.

"Ha huh! Are they, now? They can definitely try! After all, no one could unravel the mystery behind the Sun League for nearly a thousand years now! The league itself almost feels imaginary, and at this point, I don't think it would be too far-fetched to say that there are some damned laws preventing anyone from finding it! Even though my father was so powerful back then and even devoted most of his life to solving the mystery behind the group, in the end, he still failed to do so! I have to say that Daryl is really overestimating his abilities right now ." Christopher replied with a loud laugh.

"However, according to the instructions left by his great-grandfather back then, the promise of holy water was closely related to the League of the Sun ..."

"Indeed it. I chatted with my father in the secret room before he died that year. He told me that those who obtained the status of great masters would be given holy water tokens that would be used for the pledge. My own father doubted that the Sun League was a true provider of holy water which, according to rumors, gave one immortality! To prove his point, he goes to solve the secret behind the Sun League. However, when he finally returned, he was a shadow of his former self. It was as if he had lost all his wits, and he had remained silent most of the time. Less than a month later, he died, leaving only the map of Warhill Mountain that he brought back!” christopher replied in a melancholic tone.

“Then, you better not go, uncle.. After all, the Moldell family cannot lose you! I mean... You know, in case an accident happens to you.. Once you leave, a member of the Moldell family will become a duck!” kort said, obviously worried.

"Ha huh! Life and death are ruled by destiny! Moreover, I've worked so hard for so many years just to participate in the promise of holy water! Don't worry, I'll get rid of all the Moldell family obstacles before I leave. Anyway, the sun has just risen and you look tired. Rest first, ” Christopher said with a smooth smile.

"Thank you uncle!"

Back in Crawford Manor, Gerald was currently meditating on the floor of his room while simultaneously practicing his breathing methods.

On the previous day, Gerald's grandfather had summoned all the relevant Crawford to the manor's secret room. Once inside, he asks them to try to understand the Crawford family heirloom, a picture of the sun.

After seeing that no one could gather anything from the image, Gerald tried to decipher the deeper meaning of the image as well.

While he managed to decipher a few things, those were just some techniques he could use to exert his strength from the dragon's blessings.

Back in the present, Lyra herself was sound asleep in her bed. Because of how tired he was, he arrived early.

Both Gerald and he were in the same room because his grandfather had already treated him like his son-in-law's granddaughter, similar to Gerald's parents and sister. Knowing that they had to share a room no matter what, Gerald simply chose to stay on the floor.

Turning to look at her, Gerald was surprised to see Lyra shaking her head in her sleep.

"…Hmm?"

As he went to check on her, he could see that she was also sweating profusely.

Realizing that she must be having nightmares, Gerald smiled bitterly as he asked, "Nightmare...?"

Just as she was about to cover it with a blanket, she heard him nervously say, "...Who ... who are you ...?"

Surprised, Gerald turned to look at her, only to find that her eyes were still tightly closed. Even though he was only talking while sleeping, his voice looked extremely frightened. What could he dream of…?
