The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1771-1780

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1771

“…Don’t tell me… You don’t remember anything at all?” replied Gerald.

Shaking his head in his slight confusion, it truly appeared that he had no memory of what had just taken place.

“…Tell me, why did you swallow the vampiric pearl?” asked Gerald. After all, had the old man not swallowed it, he wouldn’t have entered that maddened state.

“I… What? I… swallowed it…?!” replied Old Flint, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Gerald.

“You did! After swallowing it, you turned into a madman and started attacking us!” explained Gerald.

After hearing everything that had happened from Gerald, Old Flint couldn’t help but look at the pearl—that was still on the ground—as he muttered in his bewilderment, “…I… The last thing I remember was you giving the pearl to me… I had no idea I did all that after that!”

Staring at the old man, Gerald had a feeling that he wasn’t lying. Call it a gut feeling, but Gerald chose to believe Old Flint’s point of view.

However, if Old Flint truly hadn’t been in control of himself when he started attacking, that clearly meant that the vampiric pearl was the source of the problem.

Still, if that was the case, why didn’t anything happen to Gerald when he touched the pearl earlier? What bizarre secrets lay behind all this…?

Whatever the case was, after thinking for a brief moment, Gerald told Ray to hand him a piece of cloth. Once he obtained it, Gerald then wrapped the pearl in it before slipping it into his bag.

It was better not to have such a terrifying item too close to him. Otherwise, who knew what would end up happening?

Either way, it wasn’t long after before Gerald and the others managed to find a way out of the vampires’ territory. However, now that they were finally free, the party of five didn’t descend the mountain. Instead, they went upward.

Soon enough, it began snowing rather heavily… It certainly didn’t help that the north wind was blowing so hard.

“Why the hell is it snowing all of a sudden?! What even is this place?” exclaimed Ray in his surprise.

“Let’s not think about that first… We need to focus on finding shelter!” replied Gerald as he kept an eye out on anyplace they could hide from the snow.

Agreeing with Gerald, the five people quickly began scouting through the area… and eventually, they found a dark cave.

By that point, the snow was falling so heavily that it was evident that a snowstorm was coming soon. With that in mind, Gerald and the others were thankful that they had managed to find shelter before that happened.

Upon entering, they found that it was a pretty suitable place to wait out the snowstorm. Even if it wasn’t, it still beat being buried by snow in the middle of nowhere…

Once they entered a bit deeper, however, Ray quickly pinched his nose as he grumbled, “The hell? What on earth is this horrible smell?”

Hearing Ray’s complaint, Gerald and the others quickly caught onto the pungent odor as well. Soon enough, it got so terrible that they felt like vomiting! Even so, they didn’t have much of a choice but to remain here. It was either this, or dying under layers of snow…

“…Just bear with it. Some animals may have been here before!” replied Gerald.

Nodding in resignation, everyone simply sat down, hoping that the snowstorm would end soon…

To their dismay, it showed no signs of stopping, even after quite a while.

While they didn’t realize it, all five of them slowly began dozing off… To be fair, they hadn’t rested for an entire day, so it only made sense for all five of them to feel completely drained…

Though having a nap wasn’t really an issue, the real problem was that they didn’t know what inhabited this cave…

And soon enough, two red glints could be seen coming from deeper within the cave…

As the two glints came closer, it was slowly revealed that they were the eyes of a huge white bear!

Since Gerald and the others were currently fast asleep, none of them knew how dangerous their current situation was!

Regardless, after looking at the five people who had dozed off at the cave’s entrance, the bear seemed particularly interested in Ray.

The fact that Ray was snoring only attracted the bear’s attention even more!

Slowly moving toward Ray, the bear quickly began licking his face!

“…Five more minutes… What is it Gerald…? Has the snow stopped…?” mumbled the sleepy Ray as he began patting the bear’s face…

The second he felt how unnaturally furry ‘Gerald’ was, Ray instantly froze. This… This wasn’t Gerald, was it.

By the time he opened his eyes, Gerald and the others were already staring vigilantly at the bear.

To think that such a dangerous creature would be living in this cave! With how close the bear was, all of them could smell it and even feel the warmth its body was exuding…!

Slowly motioning for Ray not to move hastily, Ray gulped before slowly turning to see what he was patting… and the next thing he knew, he was staring straight into the eyes of the white bear…!

Instantly overwhelmed with fear, the bear appeared to sense that, and it immediately let out a terrifying roar!

Seeing how wide the bear’s jaws now were, Gerald immediately yanked Ray away from the bear before yelling, “Run!”

Hearing that, the rest of the party instantly bolted out of the cave together with Gerald!

Quite honestly, they would’ve been much better off if they hadn’t chosen to run.

After all, the white bear immediately got excited when it saw how fast Gerald and his party were running. In the end, it was a carnivore, and it craved fresh meat, especially from such lively humans!

With that, the white bear quickly began chasing after them!

Instinctively turning back to look, Ray was horrified when he saw that the bear was chasing after him!

“H-hey, now! I’m all skin and bones, brother! Stop chasing me already…!” yelled Ray in his desperation as he continued fleeing from the hungry bear.

It was his first time being chased by a white bear, and he hoped that if he survived, there wouldn’t ever be a second time. What an utterly horrible experience!

By that point, Gerald had managed to find a safe spot for Juno and the two others to hide in.

Running toward Ray, Gerald then yelled, “Over here! Hurry!”

Upon hearing that, Ray instantly began running toward Gerald!

Seeing that the bear was still targeting the frantic Ray, Gerald quickly summoned the Astrabyss Sword, hoping to finish off the white bear.

“Leave it to me, Ray! Go hide with the others!” ordered Gerald as the bear came dangerously close to him.

Aiming closely, Gerald then slashed the sword the second the bear got close enough! While the attack was able to hit, Gerald had only managed to inflict a minor cut to the bear’s underbelly! In other words, the bear wasn’t all that hurt yet!

Now irritated, the bear stomped its paws before charging fiercely toward Gerald!

In barely a second, the bear was already inches before Gerald! Even if he didn’t die from being smacked by the white bear, he was sure to still get seriously injured!

Of course, Gerald wasn’t about to grant it that opportunity.

Dodge rolling till he was right under the white bear’s belly, Gerald then stabbed it right into the beast!

With how loudly the bear had roared in response, Gerald knew that he had finally managed to deal substantial damage on the bear!

Even so, that stab wasn’t enough to kill it. In fact, it only made the bear even more enraged! Now looking like it had gone mad, the bear began attacking Gerald with all that it had!

If it wasn’t for the fact that this was a life-or-death situation, the sight of Gerald and the bear leaping all over the mountain was honestly quite amusing.

Regardless, after realizing that it wasn’t going to be able to get its hands on Gerald, the bear suddenly switched targets to the others who were hiding!

Realizing that the bear was running toward his friends, Gerald then yelled, “Careful! It’s coming!”

Seeing the incoming bear, the rest of Gerald’s party quickly attempted to disperse from the tree that they had been hiding behind this entire time!

Before they knew it, however, the bear had rammed its head right into the tree! While none of them were directly hit by the bear, the immense impact of the collision caused all four of them to momentarily lose their footing!

Unluckily, Juno took a step too far backward and was now frantically attempting to balance herself from falling right into the valley!

Upon seeing that, Gerald instantly bolted toward the scene!

Giving the white bear a hard kick, the beast ended up flying right down the valley! With the main threat now gone, Gerald then rushed to save Juno!

While he was just in time to grab onto her hand, the soil at their feet was a bit too loose, and both of them ended up falling right into the valley!

Eyes widened in horror as they watched their friends fall down the valley, Ray and Nori could only yell, “Gerald! Juno…!”

It was sometime later before the duo finally awoke again… Somehow, they had managed to survive the fall… Looking around, they quickly realized that a stray branch had broken their fall!
