Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1297

With a step aside, Yume then slowly began to share what she knew about the situation.

As it turns out, there's been a scheme targeting Gerald from the start. Under her family's orders, Yume has two main goals. The first was to find a woman in white clothes in the palace of the king of the seas. As for the others, it was to capture Gerald in secret before bringing him back to the Gunters.

That was the reason why he pretended to be weaker than he really was. With 'injured' he knew that he would finally be able to gain Gerald's mercy.

Even after she gained her compassion, however, she was unable to move on to him. After all, he had not expected to be moved by Gerald's actions. He couldn't force himself to do that.

Finally, the two set out for the sea king's palace together. Of course, the old lady they met was none other than the grandmother of Yume— and also the master of the Gunter—Lady Gunter family.

After all, he was well aware of Gerald's weakness towards the Dead Annies. It was because of that knowledge that he was able to inflict heavy injuries on Gerald from the very beginning. Even so, he made sure to seal his own strength back then for fear that he would accidentally kill him.

Whatever the case, Lady Gunter wanted to make her move back then because Gerald was already in a very weak state. However, Yume continued to signal— by twirling her hair with her finger—and catapulting warning glares at Lady Gunter whenever she tried to hurt Gerald.

On one hand, it seemed like he said, 'If you dare to hurt Gerald, I will die before you right now!'

After a few more moves warning her grandmother not to move, Lady Gunter eventually becomes so angry that she pretends to be injured before fleeing.

Even so, it was clear that he would never let Gerald find the woman in white. However, the palace of the king of the seas— which Gerald— will enter will be formed according to the theory of Dead Annies, 'Two petals bloom, and each petal represents the world.'

In other words, Lady Gunter had used that secret technique at the entrance of the ocean king's palace to bring Gerald into a completely different world.

As for Yume's 'disappearing', it was because she was taken with Lady Gunter to the true king of the ocean palace. They even managed to move the white-clothed real lady!

After hearing all that, Gerald then replied, “. That doesn't explain why my subordinates can't detect your life signals. ”

“Well, it's not very well known, but Dead Annies can not only be used to interfere with one's mental abilities, but can also interfere with the magnetic field! With that in mind, Lady Gunter has the ability to make herself almost invisible with the help of Dead Annies! Using that ability, even someone standing right in front of him would not be able to tell that he was there!” yume obviously.

“Well, from what grandma told me, there is a big relationship between you and the woman in white. Apparently, there is a big secret hidden inside you two , and the first person to successfully uncover the secret will be able to master the strongest power!"

"…A secret…?" gerald replied, clearly confused by this sudden turn of events.

No wonder the Portal of the King of Judgment had been eyeing him. So this is what they're after.

'Just remain... What secret is inside me...?'

Yume, for one, clearly doesn't look like she knows more than she already told him.

“However, you must escape quickly while you still can, Gerald! You are no match for those from the Squad of Divine Grimness, Judgment Portal, or even my family! If you end up falling into one of their hands, then your death will be beyond doubt! ” pinta Yume's.

“Also, I want you to know that the Portal of Judgment has sent a very powerful person to hunt you down! He used the name Hogan, and. Well, just tell me how strong he is, even grandma is afraid of him! He's not even human anymore! Putting that aside, once again, I implore you not to step near my family. Otherwise, escaping is absolutely impossible!” yume added, an intense fear in her eyes.

"You mean Lady Gunter is also afraid of this Hogan person?" gerald replied, stunned.

To think that at some time ago, he assumed that Kort was the strongest opponent he had to face. Of course, then came Christopher and now there's a guy named Hogan as well…

From the looks of it, Christopher is just the tip of the iceberg. While normally it would be a peak difficulty for any Gerald opponent, seeing how things are going, Gerald can now safely assume that there are more dangers that have not even come into contact with Earth.

“Listen, if you still refuse to go, maybe this will scare you.. When I say that Hogan is barely even human anymore, I mean literally. You see, from what grandma told me, she is actually a corpse that has been revived by the Portal of the Judgment King. Zombies with consciousness, you could say. Regardless, while he was obeying the Portal of the King of Judgment, Hogan himself very much deserved the title of king of poison. After all, after being attacked by it, you will definitely be exposed to a very powerful poison. With that in mind, even if you manage to escape instant death, you will eventually still succumb to poison!”

“He was well aware of all this because. Well, the people from the Portal of Judgment once came to our family, and we fought against him. Unfortunately, all the members of my family who were involved in the fight were soon defeated by him, and we fought against him, and they suffered from great intoxication as well. Had the Gunters not sought a compromise with the Portal of the Judgment King, then I fear that my entire family would have been annihilated there and then! So please, if you meet her, you should hide!”
