Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1557
However, her train of thought was cut short when a pleasant voice called out, “Xoie? Xylina! Where have both of
you been this entire time?”
Hearing that, Xylina then replied, “Ah! Mila! Well, we were earlier-”
Much to Xoie’s relief, Xylina managed to recall their earlier promise in time which prevented her from blurting out
everything.
Either way, after a slight nudge from Xoie, Xylina quickly recovered her wits as she continued, “…We… were earlier
just having a look around out here! After all, the sea is rather beautiful at night, wouldn’t you say?”
In response, Mila simply smiled subtly as she nodded before replying, “While I know it isn’t exactly easy to negotiate
with the King in the North, you have to remember that our adoptive father specifically chose us to complete the
task. With that in mind, while things are currently a little boring, we should really try to obey adoptive father’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtorders and refrain from wandering around outside!”
“We get it Mila… Regardless, I’ve brought back some medicine that I ordered some subordinates of mine to get for
you. You always seemed to suffer from serious headaches every night, so I thought I’d get you something to help
calm your nerves. I got the idea when I heard that strange and valuable herbs existed on earth, you see. Following
that, I got my subordinates to pick a few relevant ones for you!” explained Xoie as she took out the strange and
invaluable medicine that her subordinates had prepared.
After handing it to Mila, Xoie then cleared her throat before asking, “…Speaking of which, how familiar are you with
this world…?”
Mila had a rather mysterious history. After all, while she hadn’t mastered any forms of training, she was an
incredibly smart person. Due to that, the old lady always had Mila by her side. After some time, the old lady found
herself appreciating Mila’s efforts so much that Xoie’s father felt that it was only right to adopt her into the family!
With that in mind, despite Mila only being his adoptive daughter, Xoie’s father had chosen her to be the main
spokesperson for the negotiation instead of her! Due to that, Xoie would be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a
little jealous.
After all, Xoie clearly more outstanding than Mila in terms of experience, appearance, and strength. Hell, Mila had
begun her life here as nothing more but the old lady’s maid! Why was she being given so much power and respect
now? As if that wasn’t already enough, Xoie had just found out that there was an extremely strong person who
seemed to like her!
Speaking of that person, it was now clear that the rumors were true. Mila truly had come from earth!
“…Hmm? This world? How do I put this…? I find this place to be… both familiar and strange… Every time I come
here, a mysterious feeling sweeps through me… What more, for some inexorable reason, my heart begins
palpitating a lot more when I’m in this world! I really have no idea why that is myself!” replied Mila as she stared
into the horizon, slight worry reflected in her eyes.
She truly had no idea what was wrong with her. For one, ever since she woke up again, she couldn’t remember a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthing about her past…
Even so, the blurry figure of that man would always appear in her mind every single night… He wasn’t a strong-
looking person by a long shot, but even so, Mila could still sense how strongly he loved her…
‘Who are you…? And why does my heart beat so much harder every time I’m here…?’
As the three sisters remained silent for a while, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky, landing close to where the
trio was standing!
He appeared to be a male servant, and after bowing toward them, he then said, “Miss Smith and Miss Quartermain,
my master has organized a national party in Yanam, and he’s invited all three of you to attend!”
“I see. Do thank Lord Yao on my behalf. Once we prepare ourselves, we’ll head over immediately!” replied Mila with
a nod.
Meanwhile, a pained scream echoed across the walls of the Turnbull family’s mansion.
Staring at his son’s chopped-up corpse, Hooper—the master of the Turnbull family—felt extremely faint, hoping that
this was all just a nightmare.
