Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1361
“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a seductive smile.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at her with a faint smile.
Naturally, he wasn’t about to tell her that he was going to save the woman in white at midnight. However, he was also well aware that if he wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his efforts while he was summoning the woman in white’s soul…
It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly remember where the snake cave is…?”
The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along since Gerald invited her to—and Gerald himself.
“Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still need to gather my bearings a bit better!” replied Seth as he scratched the back of his head before stepping atop a nearby boulder.
A few seconds later, he then exclaimed, “I found it! It’s over there!”
Following that, he then agilely hopped off before taking a few steps forward and pushing some dense bushes aside… With that, a round cave entrance—that was almost as tall as a person—revealed itself to everyone.
A much younger Seth had first bumped into it while he was having fun with his friends. He remembered how his friends had dared him to enter the cave, and of course, he had taken the bet. Seth recalled that upon entering the cave, he had found an extremely large piece of discarded snakeskin. He had also come across a fruit in the cave, and eating it allowed him to gain the superpowers he had today.
Regardless, the snakeskin was the obvious reason why Seth had named this place the snake cave.
“How truly odd… This ancient plant is called a Lukra, and it has miraculous properties… Since the plant only bears a single fruit once in its entire lifetime, you truly are lucky to have been the one to eat it. Regardless, I’m pretty sure that their fruits’ aren’t that effective on earth due to its lack of holy spirits,” explained Queena with a smile, making it quite obvious that she knew quite a bit about the plant.
“I agree with the fruit being miraculous… After all, Seth did obtain superpowers upon eating it,” replied Gerald though his focus had been on the paintings on the cave walls this entire time.
From what he could see, the paintings on the walls were extremely old. Ancient, even. After briefly scanning through them, Gerald soon found himself raising a slight brow.
The things he saw on the walls were… weird, to say the least. For one, one of the paintings depicted a winged humanoid figure. As if that wasn’t already odd enough, the person even had three eyes!
