Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1129

Due to his keen sense of smell, Gerald was able to detect the scent of highly toxic gases that slowly filled the mine. From what he could tell, directly inhaling a little gas alone was enough to easily damage the internal organs of a human!

In accordance with his conclusion, after taking a few steps forward, Yume had already started to get very dizzy. As the strength in his body quickly left him, Gerald quickly ran to support him.

After which, he immediately began to seal some of his body's vital energy pathways that were heading to his vital organs.

“D-dadaku... Strangling..” murmured a weak Yume whose face was already pale.

“Fortunately you did not inhale too much of that gas.. Know that the air around us is now slowly becoming more and more toxic! In any case, try not to talk for now and be prepared to hold your breath, ” Gerald explained quickly.

After saying that, Gerald himself took a deep breath, deliberately inhaling the poisonous gas. Only by doing so, however, could he roughly distinguish the composition of the gas!

Since Gerald was already immune to some kind of poison since last year, this level of poison was nothing to him! While the poisonous gas was definitely fatal to a normal person, to Gerald, the gas was akin to the unpleasant scent of a vial of vinegar spilled in an environment that previously had fresh air.

After all, someone must be no good outside!

Looking at the weak girl who was now lying in his arms, Gerald knew that he could not let anything bad happen to her. After all, he seemed to know some secrets about the palace of the king of the seas. Moreover, even from the first time he met her, Gerald felt that Yume and Mila's eyes were somewhat similar.

Due to the innate intimacy she felt towards him, Gerald felt the urge to help her escape from this place safely. In fact, he would not leave her even if she was truly a stranger.

With the poisonous gas now slowly resembling a thickened greenish poisonous mist, Gerald turned to look at the teary-eyed Yume— whose face was already flushed at this point—before saying, “...Since you haven't used it yet, I'm assuming you're unfamiliar with the breath holding technique? ”

After seeing him nod slowly, Gerald then added, “I'm sorry in advance. Please don't hold it against me. Understand that my ultimate goal is to get you out of this place alive!”

After which, Gerald took a deep breath of poisonous air. Once the air was inside him, the air was instantly purified. With that thought, he then directed fresh air into his mouth …

Before kissing Yume to transfer it to her!

Seeing that, Yume's eyes immediately widened in shock as she tried her hardest to resist. However, he did not have any strength left in his body due to his initial intake of gas.

Knowing that the person responsible for releasing the gas might be chasing him and not Yume, Gerald really wants to know who did it.

Meanwhile, a young Minshall— who was standing outside the mine with many other Minshall family members— laughed as he said, “Hah! We actually released a large amount of poisonous gas inside, uncle! Even if he had a god physique, Gerald would definitely not be able to get out alive!”

In front of them, stood a device that continued to pump poisonous gas into the tightly closed entrance of the mine. They had made sure to close the entrance carefully so that even if Gerald managed to climb up again to escape, he would not be able to know where the exit was!

"But of course! After all, this is called a thousand year poison! Even immortal beings would not be able to escape death after inhaling this!” replied the middle-aged man—whose back is facing the entrance—with a dark expression on his face.

"Stay, I really want to go inside to see how badly Gerald's body is rotting!" another young Minshall said before laughing.

“Are you so tired of living? Even inhaling a small amount of poison gas will cause all your internal organs to rot, you know! Don't any of you know the origin of our family's poison for thousands of years?” said the middle-aged man somewhat arrogantly after realizing that his current situation made him resemble a teacher standing in front of a group of students who wanted to study.

“We don't, uncle! Please explain to us!”

"All right then! Listen carefully, now!”

Now in a good mood, Uncle Minshall quickly cleared his throat to begin the story. However, before he could begin, he noticed that all the young Minshall were now pale-faced and staring at something with wide-eyed. Their expressions showed that they had just seen something terrifying ...

“...What is this? Why a terrified expression?” asked the middle-aged man while laughing.

“U-uncle Minshall... B-behind you..!” great-grandson of one of the young Minshall while pointing to the back of the middle-aged man in horror.

Even before he could turn around, Uncle Minshall heard a voice shouting, "Give way!"

After that, then, Gerald — who had used one of his hands to dig a small hole in the ground-covered entrance to check if he was on the right path — kicked a poison gas disperser right into the the wall of the ground, caused the entrance to reopen!

Now understanding what the young Minshalls saw that was so frightened, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned deathly pale as he felt a pat on his right shoulder. Knowing that he was the only person blocking the entrance now, uncle Minshall slowly turned to look behind him. To see Gerald there holding Yume in his hand!
