The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2476

 

Chapter 2476

"A hundred percent sure. Your investigation was spot

on. Regardless, from the moment I found out that she

had an angelic root, I knew it was only a matter of

time before she was kidnapped. With that in mind, I

had to focus on both of you. Speaking of which, I had

also hidden on their ship the night she left for

Northbay from Hong Kong!" replied Finnley,

prompting Gerald's eyes to widen a s Finnley

continued telling him the rest of what happened.

Essentially, Finnley had disguised himself as a

canteen worker that night to monitor Mila and the

other girls on the ship. When he sensed the immense

power of an angelic artifact early the next morning,

Finnley knew that the day had arrived.

Since the ship immediately began shaking due to the

fierce waves, several of the girls o n board were

terrified. Though Mila herself remained calm—and

had done her best to keep everything under control

—, in the end, she was just a commoner.

It was way beyond her power to resist the power of

the super angelic artifact, the Soluna Deus Sect's

Celestial Avian...! Shortly after, a massive whirlpool

formed, and just like a massive mouth in the ocean, it

quickly swallowed the ship and everyone onboard...

"Despite having tracked them for so long, that was

honestly my first time being so close to the Soluna

Deus Sect as they made a move! Regardless, it was

sometime then when I sensed an immense force

locking onto me. This prompted me to leave in a

beam of light as the ship was swallowed up... Sadly,

by the time I returned, the Celestial Avian was

nowhere to be seen..." muttered Finnley as he

recalled what had happened that night.

"I wonder if the Solana Deus Sect has any malicious

intent..." wondered Gerald.

"No idea. Nobody really knows what they're up to.

Regardless, though they've been capturing countless

people—with angelic roots—for ages, I'm sure they

couldn't have developed all of them. With that said,

I'm sure they've exiled quite a few people, just like

your second uncle and disciple! Though I say that,

only a handful have managed to properly escape!"

explained Finnley as he shook his head.

Furrowing his brows, Gerald then said, " Indeed...

Still, though they disregard the regular development

of the secular world and kidnap people, it's hard to

tell whether their group is actually good or bad! That

aside, the Celestial Avian you mentioned... Is it a

bronze angelic artifact that resembles a warship?"

"Bingo. I have to say, you're really good at connecting

the dots. Regardless, it's not exactly a warship, but

rather, a dimensional angelic artifact! Bet you didn't

see that one coming!"

"I see... Um... There's one more thing I'd like to ask..."

muttered Gerald who kept thinking about the several

wall paintings that he had come across where he had

seen imprints of a n old beggar that bore a striking

resemblance to Finnley...

That was a person from a few thousand years ago,

and looking at Finnley's current cultivation level and

how the old man had called Saint Amorphous 'kid,'

Gerald could only imagine how terrifying Finnley's

true identity was...

"I already know your question, silly boy! Even so, you

know how I operate. I'll only tell you the information

when the time is right. The fact that I'm only telling

you about the Soluna Deus Sect now is proof of that!"

replied Finnley with a smile.

"...Understood!"

"Good. Regardless, back before I met you, I already

knew that I wasn't going to be able t o take on the

Soluna Deus Sect alone. With that in mind, I was

simultaneously looking for a helper back when I was

keeping an eye on Mila. Thankfully, I soon bumped

into you ... and shortly after, I realized that you

possessed the Herculean Primordial Spirit! Aside

from that, I found out that there was someone eyeing

you as well!" explained Finnley.
