br>Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1129
Due to his keen sense of smell, Gerald was able to detect the scent of a highly toxic gas that was slowly filling the mine. From what he was able to tell, directly inhaling even just a little of the gas would be sufficient to easily corrode a human’s internal organs!

True to his deduction, after taking just a few steps forward, Yume was already starting to get extremely dizzy. As the strength in her body rapidly left her, Gerald quickly ran over to support her.

Following that, he instantly began sealing several of her body’s vital energy paths that led to her vital organs.

“M-my chest… Suffocating…” muttered the weakened Yume whose face was already pale.

“Thankfully you didn’t breathe in too much of that gas… Know that the air around us now is slowly getting more and more poisonous… Someone seems to be deliberately releasing poison gas in here! Regardless, try not to talk for now and get ready to hold your breath,” explained Gerald quickly.

After saying that, Gerald himself took in a deep breath, purposefully inhaling the poison gas. Just by doing so, however, he was able to roughly distinguish the composition of the gas!

Since Gerald had already been immune to several kinds of poisons as early as last year, this level of poison was nothing to him! While the poison gas was definitely fatal for normal people, to Gerald, the gas was simply akin to the mild distasteful scent of a spilled bottle of vinegar within an environment that previously had fresh air.

Regardless, someone was definitely up to no good outside!

Looking at the weakened girl who was now lying in his arms, Gerald knew that he couldn’t allow anything bad to happen to her. After all, she appeared to know some secrets about the palace of the ocean king. What more, even from the first time he had met her, Gerald had felt that both Yume and Mila had somewhat similar eyes.

Due to this innate intimacy that he felt toward her, Gerald felt the urge to help her escape this place safely. In fact, he wouldn’t have left her behind even if she was a complete stranger.

With the poison gas now slowly resembling a thickening, greenish poisonous fog, Gerald turned to look at the teary-eyed Yume—whose face was already flushed by this point—before saying, “…Since you haven’t used it yet, I’m assuming you’re not familiar with the breath-holding technique?”

After watching her nod slowly, Gerald then added, “I apologize in advance then. Please don’t hold it against me. Understand that my primary objective is to get you out of this place alive!”

Following that, Gerald took in a deep breath of the poisonous air. Once the air was inside him, the air was instantly purified. With that in mind, he then directed the fresh air into his mouth…

Before kissing Yume to transfer it over to her!

Seeing that, Yume’s eyes immediately widened in shock as she tried her hardest to resist. However, she simply didn’t have any strength left in her body due to her initial intake of the gas.

“Very well then! Listen closely, now!”

Now in a good mood, Uncle Minshall quickly cleared his throat to begin his tale. Before he could even begin, however, he noticed that all the young Minshalls were now pale-faced and staring wide-eyed at something. Their expressions suggested that they had just seen something terrifying…

“…What’s this then? Why the frightened expressions?” asked the middle-aged man as he laughed.

“U-uncle Minshall… B-behind you…!” squeaked one of the young Minshalls as he pointed behind the middle-aged man in horror.

Before he could even turn around, uncle Minshall heard a voice shouting, “Make way!”

Following that, Gerald—who had used one of his hands to dig open a small hole in the dirt-sealed entrance to check if he was on the right path—kicked the poison gas-spreading contraption right into the earthen wall, causing the sealed up entrance to be re-opened!

Now understanding what the young Minshalls had seen to be that terrified, the middle-aged man’s face instantly went as pale as a sheet when he felt a pat on his right shoulder. Knowing that he was the sole person blocking the entrance now, uncle Minshall slowly turned around to look behind him… To see Gerald there holding Yume in his arms!
