Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1269
“…Chester, didn’t you… you know… Either way… How did you get resurrected…?” asked Gerald as he slowly approached him.

Chester himself seemed like he had a lot to tell Gerald, and while the explanation process was a little slow and awkward, Gerald could still understand what his brother was saying.

As it turned out, after Gerald had personally buried Chester’s body, Tiara dug it out again and used a secret technique—that Queena had taught her—to resurrect and turn him into a killing machine!

Chester also took the time to explain the long-standing heritage of the Holy Witchcraft. Apparently, Queena’s soul was the one who had professionally founded the Holy Witchcraft, and before she died, she had made special preparations for her own resurrection hundreds of years later!

Upon hearing this, Gerald finally understood everything. So that’s why Tiara had been so frightened when she received the letter from Queena’s subordinate in front of the manor that day! Queena was actually her ancestor!

As for Chester’s resurrection, it wasn’t a real resurrection at all! From what Gerald now understood, Queena had used some ancient form of witchcraft to fill Chester’s body with vitality, thus in a sense, ‘resurrecting’ him. Though this form of witchcraft was innately evil, using it on someone would greatly increase the person’s strength, Tiara being a living example of that.

Regardless, it wouldn’t be a stretch to consider the current Chester to be half-human and half-demon. Chester also added that several people were in the same state that he was now in, and that they too had undergone great transformations due to Queena’s actions.

“Throughout this time, I’ve been living as a bystander… As in, I haven’t been able to control my body at all! It was like I was watching some messed up movie where I’d do whatever Tiara ordered me to… I… I’ve done way too many atrocities that I didn’t want to…!”

“…However, the golden light that was emitted from that pendant… It seemed to contain some sort of magical energy. The second I was hit by it, all the guilt and evil from my body just seemed to melt away, allowing me to gradually regain my consciousness and free myself from merely being a bystander!” explained Chester.

Recalling what Master Ghost had told him, Gerald’s yang energy was extremely masculine since it hadn’t undergone holy baptism yet. Aside from that, Master Ghost had also said that the owner of the jade pendant had an inextricable link to him. With that in mind, the jade pendant was definitely no ordinary object.

Gerald remembered how brightly the jade pendant had shone while Chester was still strangling him. He also recalled how a black glow seemed to have escaped from his body. The jade pendant must have purified the evil nature in Chester’s body at that moment!

After all, Gerald had previously sent some of his men to investigate the remains of the king of the ocean’s palace. As was expected, the tomb was completely decimated.

Looking at Chester, Gerald then asked, “Do you happen to know where the Ancient City is, Chester?”

Shaking his head in response, Chester then replied, “Unfortunately, all I know is that Queena and the others headed there immediately the moment they found out that the woman in white was there. Before leaving, she sent me and Tiara to go after you. Aside from that, I really have no idea where the Ancient City is!”

“Ancient City? Master Nacol was talking about that just a few days ago! If I remember correctly, the Gunters are living there…” said Dr. Mabb—who had been silent this entire time—out of the blue.

“…Oh? If the Gunters are there and if the woman in white has made an appearance there, then I’m sold that that’s the same Ancient City that Chester’s talking about!”
