Semua Bab The Secretly Rich Man: Bab 1661 - Bab 1670

Regardless, both of them soon packed up and left the riverside… It was about ten minutes later when both of them heard the clashes of a fierce battle… Turning to look at Gerald, Nori then said, “It appears that there’s an intense fight happening up front! Let’s hurry over and have a look!” Gerald agreed with Nori’s statement. After all, if the fighters were already battered, then there was definitely a chance that both of them could obtain something without any effort. What more, if the fighters were taking on something particularly dangerous, Gerald and Nori could always step in once they were taken out. With that in mind, both of them then swiftly proceeded forward before masterfully concealing themselves behind a large rock. Staring ahead at the small forest before them, both of them were greeted by the sight of several black-robed men attacking a youth in white clothes. Since the shoulder areas of his clothes were dyed red, it was only fair to assume that he had been inju

“You’re right, Mr. Crawford!” replied Zelig as he instantly began tending to his earlier wounds. Once he was done, he then set off together with Gerald and Nori. Thankfully, the subsequent people they bumped into were rather weak, so in no time at all, the trio managed to gather the remaining eight divine stones… With that done, they quickly rushed back to the exit to get themselves authenticated. Once that was successfully done, they then left the illusory space. Upon returning to the real world, they were each given a wooden token. The tokens were proof that they had passed the challenge and served as ‘passes’ of sorts that granted them entry into the Leicom Continent. Naturally, this meant that people who didn’t own the wooden tokens wouldn’t be allowed access into the other world. Regardless, since they had been waiting to enter the Leicom Continent for quite a while now, the trio then—rather impatiently—went through the initial portal… Shielding their eyes from bright

“We’ll begin the bid at a hundred thousand gold coins! As a reminder, each bid’s increment has to exceed fifty thousand gold coins!” explained the crowned old man. Now that the bidding process had officially begun, the crowd instantly went into an uproar! “Two hundred thousand gold coins!” shouted a wealthy-looking man. Since he had increased the bid by a hundred thousand gold coins right off the bat, it was only fair to assume that he was filthy rich. However, right after that, a fat man—who was sitting opposite of the previous bidder—stood up before shouting, “Three hundred thousand gold coins!” Truth be told, Gerald and the other two felt that the old hand fan wasn’t really worth that much. Even so, who were they to judge? These people were filthy rich, so they could do anything they wanted with their money. Eventually, the hand fan was sold—to the businessman from before who had started the bid—for a whopping six hundred thousand gold coins! Following that, it took abou

Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “That’s right. My companions and I came from Jaellatra, you see, and since we had no money, I decided to sell the jade charm!” “…You… Do you not know how precious the jade charm of the green dragon is…?” muttered the confused Prince Severin. Gerald, for one, honestly had no clue. Truth be told, was he not in dire need of money, he wouldn’t have sold off the jade charm. After all, he hadn’t even studied it yet. Even so, Prince Severin’s tone alone was enough to tell Gerald how extraordinary a treasure the jade charm actually was… Now getting increasingly curious, Gerald shook his head before asking, “I’m afraid I’m clueless, Prince Severin. Do enlighten me!” “…Very well! You see, the jade charm you sold me is the symbol of the green dragon, and the person who owns it will be granted the powers of the green dragon! In case you didn’t know, among the four Divine Beasts, the green dragon is the strongest among them!” explained Severin.

With that deduced, all three of them found themselves looking upward… and to their amazement, they saw countless fruits emitting dazzling pink glows growing on the tree! “My god! Those fruits look so beautiful and juicy! What kind of fruit even is that?” exclaimed Nori in her awe. By no means was she exaggerating when she described how stunning the fruits looked. From the looks of it, the fruit was native only to the Leicom Continent… Upon picking one of the fruits, Gerald could instantly feel a strange energy being emitted from it. How mysterious… Barely a second later, the trio snapped out of their awe when two women—each wearing long white robes—with white wings growing on their backs suddenly descended from the sky! “Who are you people? How dare you barge in here and steal our holy fruit!” shouted one of the women as she pointed angrily at Gerald. “These women are strong, brother Gerald!” warned Zelig upon seeing how strange the two women were. From what he could tell,
