The Secretly Rich Man novel Chapter 2291

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2291
After taking a deep breath, Gerald slowly began flipping through the pages, making sure to be particularly gentle for fear that the thousand year old book would accidentally turn to dust.

To his dismay, however, he couldn’t understand what was written in it at all! At most, he was able to gather based on the crude sketches on a few of the pages that the book was detailing some sort of sacrificial ritual, not unlike what he had seen on the sea map back then.

Carefully and slightly excitedly carrying the book over to the old man, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Can you read this, senior?”

Raising a slight brow, he then gave the book a look before eventually shaking his head as he said, “Unfortunately, I can’t. However, based on the sketch, I’m assuming they’re attempting to summon rain.”

“What? Isn’t this a sacrificial ritual?” replied Gerald.

“Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. After all, though you’ve finally managed to find the book, you can’t make heads or tails of it! It’s no different from a brick!” said the old man before laughing aloud. To think that after all that effort, it was ultimately just a waste of time.

Chuckling in response, Gerald then replied, “While I can’t read it, there’s someone who may just be able to…”

“Oh? Who?”

“A good friend of mine… Regardless, I’m saying this since after getting to know the descendants of the Seadom tribe, we were given access to a secret room that contained several books in an unknown language. However, this friend of mine seemed to be able to read them just fine,” replied Gerald as he thought about Master Ghost.

“I see… Perhaps he’ll be the key to cracking this code,” said the old man with a nod.

“Indeed… Either way, I’ll be taking my leave. I’ll definitely come back to visit when I have the time, senior!” replied Gerald as he carefully slipped the ancient book into his coat pocket. After placing his hands together and bowing in respect, Gerald then turned to leave.
