Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1296

After a brief pause, Gerald took a deep breath before saying, “...Good. Since you don't have Dead Annies anymore, at least I can be sure that if you intend to do something suspicious, you will come down with me!”

With that said, Gerald then grabbed Yume's shoulder before making a giant leap with her! As soon as they land safely on the beach, Yume tells Gerald where the hideout is, and Gerald makes sure to hold on tight to him as the two quickly head there.

Knowing that he currently does not have the strength to fight against Queena and the Portal of the King of Judgment, Gerald can't help but remain vigilant now that he knows he could potentially face the mysterious Gunters.

Shortly after, they arrived at a cave located on the outskirts. Upon entering, Gerald instantly sealed some of the major blood vessels in Yume's body!

"…Are you serious? You still can't believe that I didn't plan to hurt you? yume said as she took a deep breath to try to suppress her disappointment.

“I want you to know that I will not give a second chance to anyone who violates my trust! Now as promised, tell the truth about the incident!” gerald replied coldly.

"…I saw. Before that, let me ask you something. Not only did you save me a few times, but you also constantly searched for me to the point where upon realizing that I had lost, you were constantly looking for me, You actually sent your people to tirelessly find me for over a month! Damn, you even told the locals to report to you if any of them saw me! With that in mind, I want to know. Did you do all that just to get an answer from me, or was it because of something else? yume asked as she looked at him with reddened eyes and tears in her eyes.

From his explanation, Gerald now knew that he was aware of everything he had done to date. So he had been watching her all this time …

“Actually, I originally promised to take you to the palace of the king of the seas because I was worried it would be too dangerous for you to go there alone. I'm not going to lie that I'm also hoping to get more leads from you. After all, after you disappeared, I was filled with regret, and it prompted me to try every possible way to look for you!” answer Gerald.

Although Gerald initially only helped her for a slightly selfish purpose, her worries about him stepping on unsafe territory quickly outweighed it. That was the reason why he promised to take her. By doing so, he could at least keep her away from danger.

Even so, to think that he would actually disappear right under his nose! With the possibility of his death very real, Gerald had been filled with grief and self-deprecation for a long time.

If he finds out that all this will happen, he will choose to give up finding out about Yume's secret rather than taking her with him.

Although she had little feelings for Gerald, it was because all this time Gerald had saved her and not because the cursed wedding stone belonged to Master Ghost.

He recalled the time he wanted to secretly kill Gerald, although in the end, he could not force himself to do so. If he were, well, Gerald would naturally not have arrived at the palace of the king of the seas!

Of course, she had not fallen in love with him at that moment. He just found himself unable to do the deed.

After all, after she 'misses', Yume begins to secretly watch over Gerald. That was when he realized how much he cared about her. After all, Gerald did not leave the part of the sea— that surrounded the palace of the king of the seas— out of control. He simply refused to give up on his search until more than a month—after his departure—had passed.

He also watched her sit on the beach all day and night in silence, just staring at the sea the entire time.

Finally, she noticed as she threw the small ornament — that had been saved from sea — into the sea. It was then that he realized how great his guilt for losing him actually was. He really treated her as his friend.

Seeing that, Yume— at that moment—mau did not want to feel any strange emotions flowing within him, even though it was not bad. Instead, it feels sweet. After all, no one had ever treated her the way Gerald did.

It was only when he thought of the moments he shared with Gerald that he finally realized something. The wedding stone of Master Ghost was truly a strange and evil object.

After all, he really started to miss her every day after that, constantly worrying about her safety. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and thus came restless nights …

'Can my love story really end tragically? Am I really in love with someone who will never love me back…?'

Even if that was the case, Yume had sworn to herself that she would not lie to Gerald a second time. With that in mind, he took a deep breath before saying, “...All right, I'll give you the truth! I'll tell you everything I know, but once I'm done, our friendship will be over, you hear? We can't be friends anymore! Huh!”
