The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1781

“Hehe, Rey, don’t forget that Ember Lord is no longer a human. He’s even creepier than a ghost. Do you think he will be scared hiding in this place?”

Gerald chuckled and reminded Rey.

When Rey heard him, he found that it somehow made sense.

“You can take a look, and I shall leave, then!”

The old man said to the three.

“Okay, old man. Thanks a lot for your help!”

Old Flint thanked the old man quickly.

“Don’t mention it!”

The old man responded by waving his hand.

After the old man had left, Gerald and the other two stood in front of the wooden cottage, staring at it blankly.

They didn’t know what to do. They couldn’t enter the cottage, nor did they know how to get into it.

“Gerald, Old Flint, what should we do now? Kick the door open?”

Rey looked at Gerald and Old Flint and asked.

“No, that’s nonsense. Trespassing is not right!”

Old Flint stopped Rey immediately.

Although Yamilet Faes was no longer alive, this cottage still belonged to her. So, they could not simply do what they wanted.

“Then, what should we do? We don’t have the key.”

Rey sighed helplessly.

“We’ll wait until nighttime and see if Ember Lord will make an appearance here!”

After a while, Gerald suggested.

And so, they just waited there just as Gerald had suggested.

The wait lasted for a few hours.

They waited until eight o’clock, but still, Ember Lord did not appear.

The whole surrounding fell into darkness and stillness.

Being in such a dark environment could really intensify the fear in one’s heart.

Apart from Gerald, Rey and Old Flint shrunk their necks and pulled their clothes tighter.

“Gerald, it’s been so long. It’s so dark already, do we still have to wait?”

Rey looked at Gerald and asked.

“Yeah. Gerald. Why don’t we get back into the car? It’s at least better than staying in the cold like this!”

Old Flint, who was beside them, quickly made a suggestion.

When Gerald heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Gerald agree, Old Flint and Rey instantly felt delighted.

After that, the three got up and were ready to leave.

Just then, a light shone from the woods.

As soon as the light came on, it caught Gerald and the two’s attention immediately. They were alerted and squatted down again immediately.

“You three?”

Then, they heard the voice of the old man from just now.

Hearing his voice made the three breathe a sigh of relief.

They had thought that it was someone else. Apparently, it was him.

Gerald and the two got out of the bushes right away.

“Old man, why are you still out wandering around at this late hour?”

Old Flint asked the old man doubtfully.

“I saw that you have been waiting here for so long. So, I came to check on you!”

The old man smiled and answered.

“We’re fine. We’re just waiting for someone here!”

Old Flint hurriedly explained to the old man as he did not want the old man to sense that something was wrong.

“Eh, it’s already so late! I’m sure the person you are waiting for will not come. Come, let’s go to my place and rest!”

The old man sighed and proposed to the three.

When Old Flint heard him, he turned around immediately and looked at Gerald, seeking his opinion.

Gerald saw his reaction and nodded subtly.

Since they had no other choice, for now, they could only rest at the old man’s place.

Besides, the sky was already very dark, and it was not safe. Who knew what would be lingering outside?

After the conversation, Gerald and the others followed the old man and left the wooden cottage.

The old man brought Gerald and the others to his house. Although it was not very old, it looked like it should have been rebuilt before.

“Old man, are you the only one left in the village?”

Once they were in the old man’s house, Old Flint asked curiously.

“Hehe!” The old man chuckled.

“Yes. The others have moved into the cities already. I’m the only one left here!”

After he chuckled, he answered.

“Then, why didn’t you move into the city? Isn’t it more comfortable living in the city?”

Old Flint continued to ask.

“Alas, I have no relatives or children. I don’t want to live in the city anyway. It’s good living here. I’m used to living here!” The old man spoke with a bitter smile.

They could hear the helplessness in the old man’s voice.

Having no family member at an old age was indeed pitiful.

Perhaps this was the destiny of this old man. He was destined to live in the mountains for his whole life. It was not bad for fallen leaves to return to their roots.

“Right, who are you waiting for actually?”

The old man asked Old Flint.

“Old man, did you know that Yamilet Faes has a grandson named Ember Lord?”

After a pause, Old Flint asked the old man.

Once the old man heard that, he was startled for a moment, and then he said, “Yes, I know him. Speaking about Ember Lord, he is indeed a good young lad. He was the one who spent money to help me rebuild my house. He used to be an obedient boy. Sometimes, he would stay here with his grandmother. Sometimes, he would come to my place to play with me. However, after his grandmother passed away, he has never come back!”

The old man sighed as he recounted his story.

“Oh? Old man, did you find anything strange lately? Or maybe something happened in the wooden cottage of Yamilet Faes?”

After that, Old Flint asked the old man.

Since the old man knew Ember Lord, the number Ember Lord had given them would not be that simple.

“I didn’t hear anything. I would pass by the wooden cottage every day when I go up and down the hill, but I’ve never heard any noise.”

The old man said to Old Flint.

“You guys are asking about it so much. What is happening here exactly? What has Ember Lord done?”

The old man asked in confusion.

“It’s nothing, old man. We’re his friends. It’s just that we couldn’t keep in touch with him lately, so we wanted to come here and check if he is here!”

Old Flint quickly made up an excuse to explain it to the old man.

“Oh, I see.”

After the old man heard his explanation, he didn’t suspect anything and simply nodded his head.

Gerald and the others sat in the house until late at night.

However, none of them fell asleep.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but it was because they didn’t dare to.

If they fell asleep, nobody knew what would happen, much less if Ember Lord would appear.

Creak!

Suddenly, the door was opened.

After the sound of the door being opened was heard, the sound of the door being closed was heard immediately after.

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1783

The three quickly looked outside only to see that the old man had left the house alone, carrying a basket with him as he headed toward Yamilet Faes’ wooden cottage.

Seeing this, the three exchanged glances.

They found it rather strange that the old man would want to go out in the middle of the night carrying a basket. There had to be some secret unknown to people hidden behind it.

Soon after, Gerald and the two got out of the house and followed the old man quietly.

They followed the old man all the way to the wooden cottage. Then, they saw him take out a key from his pocket to unlock the door.

Once the door was unlocked, the old man surveyed his surroundings carefully. After making sure that no one was around, only then did he push the door open and walk in with reassurance.

Gerald and the two others also walked to the wooden cottage immediately and stood in front of it.

“Gerald, it looks like the old man must be hiding something from us. He actually has the key to this house!”

Rey whispered to Gerald.

Now, it could be seen that the old man was not as simple as he looked. He must have some kind of relationship with Ember Lord.

“Rey, Old Flint, you two should hide. I’ll go in and take a look first!”

Later, Gerald instructed Rey and Old Flint.

Hearing his words, Rey and Old Flint did not object, Instead, they nodded in agreement right away. Then, they quickly retreated to a bush nearby and hid in there.

As for Gerald, he went to the side of the wooden cottage and sat beside the wall. Then, he freed his soul from his body.

Of course Gerald would not enter the house directly. Otherwise, he would alert them and be discovered by the old man.

Once he had freed his soul, Gerald went into the wooden cottage and started searching up and down.

When he went upstairs, he could hear the old man’s voice. It sounded as though he was talking to someone.

Soon, after the old man finished talking, the voice of Ember Lord was heard.

Gerald knew it was him the moment he heard his voice. Ember Lord had indeed hidden in this place.
