The Secretly Rich Man

The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1811-1820

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1811

It was late into the night when the three of them finally decided to return to their tents to sleep.

Due to the wild boar incident, all three of them shared a tent. That way, they could increase the odds of them sensing danger and allow them to assist each other if they were attacked.

Thankfully, all was quiet that night, and the trio woke up early the next morning.

Leaving the tent as soon as he got up, Gerald realized that there were already a number of birds feasting on the wild boar’s carcass, with most of them being eagles and vultures. Gerald paid them no notice, and instead began packing up.

It was around nine when all three of them were up and ready to continue on their journey into the depths of the forest…

According to Old Flint’s map, walking past the phosphorite mountain area would allow them to accomplish their second step. Of course, that was easier said than done.

After all, not only was the phosphorite mountain extremely vast, but the trio had no idea what kinds of dangers awaited them there as well. With that in mind, they could only hope that they were prepared enough to face whatever obstacles they came across.

Up till this point, they already had to deal with the massive boar and the Soul Hunters… What a dangerous place…

Regardless, it was about two hours later when the trio finally came across a stream. With that, they then decided to replenish their water supply and take a short rest while they were at it.

Now sitting atop a flat stone, Juno found herself asking, “Say… Do you have any idea how much longer we’ll need to walk, Gerald…?”

Shaking his head, Gerald then replied, “Not at all… Based on Old Flint’s map, all I know is that we’ll need to walk past the phosphorite mountain area… Sadly, the map doesn’t really specify how huge the area is…”

Just as they were wondering how large the area really was, an arrow suddenly flew past all three of them!

Immediately turning to face the direction the arrow shot out from, the trio was greeted by the sight of a few men—donning black clothes—with crossbows in hand!

“Soul Hunters!” yelled Gerald as he instantly held onto Juno and Rey’s arms before bolting away with them.

The Soul Hunters themselves instantly began shooting volley after volley of crossbow bolts. It almost felt like it was raining arrows!

Thankfully, the trio managed to take cover in the forest.

“Dmn it! How do we keep bumping into those bstards! How unlucky!” grumbled Rey.

“Please don’t forget that the entire Soul Hunter organization is here. Since they’ve been divided into several small groups, it’s pretty much inevitable that we’ll constantly bump into them while we’re here!” explained Gerald.

Regardless, once they were sure that the Soul Hunters had lost track of them, all three of them couldn’t help but sigh in relief before resuming their journey…

After what had just happened, the trio found that it was safer to simply use the forest path instead of walking by the side of the stream.

Compared to walking in an open area—which would allow them to be easily found and attacked—, traveling within the forest would make them harder to spot. What more, there was also plenty of cover in the forest, making escape much more plausible there.

Whatever the case was, it was about half an hour later when they finally found a home in the middle of the forest.

“…Say, do you see that, master? To think that people would actually live out here in the middle of nowhere!” exclaimed Rey.

Gerald and Juno appeared equally as surprised as Rey was. After all, who in the right mind would live this deep in the forest? It truly was mind-boggling.

After a short pause, Gerald then said, “…Well, since there’s someone living here, we may as well ask them if they know how much further we’ll need to walk!”

Nodding in agreement, the duo then began following Gerald’s lead as they walked toward the house…

However, they quickly found themselves retreating into bushes again when they realized that a few Soul Hunters were also walking toward that house!

After knocking on the door, what appeared to be the house’s owner opened it… and before he could even react, the Soul Hunters immediately rushed in!

Following that, horrified screams filled the air!

Hearing all the terror from inside that house, Gerald and the others quickly exchanged glances. The Soul Hunters were definitely there to eliminate that family… How inhumane!

Unable to bear the screams anymore, Juno found herself pleading, “Gerald, let’s help them! The Soul Hunters have really gone over the line this time…!”

Upon hearing that, Gerald nodded before turning to face Rey and saying, “Hide here while we resolve the issue, alright, Rey? Don’t make a move until we return!”

Of course, Rey wasn’t about to go against Gerald’s orders, so he quickly hid in some nearby bushes.

Seeing that, Gerald and Juno bolted toward the house! The second they arrived at the now open door, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a murdered couple lying in a puddle of their own blood…

The sight of that instantly infuriated the duo. For the Soul Hunters to do such inhumane acts… They truly were worse than beasts!

“You utter b*stards…!” roared the angered Juno.

At that moment, both of them heard a screaming girl coming from deeper inside the house.

“H-help me…!” screamed the desperate-sounding girl.

Wasting no time, Gerald and Juno then rushed toward the source of the voice…

Realizing that there were a few Soul Hunters standing in their way, Gerald immediately summoned the Astrabyss Sword before expertly slicing all of their necks in one swift slash!

As the Soul Hunters began choking on their own blood, Juno herself continued running toward the source of all the screaming. Soon enough, she entered the room where the terrified screams originated from… And she was greeted by the sight of a Soul Hunter forcefully pinning himself atop a plainly dressed girl!

Now brimming with fury, Juno instantly stabbed the disgusting man’s back before yanking him off the girl!

Since Juno was a cultivator, she was way stronger than these puny Soul Hunters. With that in mind, she easily lifted the human trash off the ground… and without the slightest hesitation, she sliced his neck!

Unable to even react, the man died almost instantaneously in Juno’s hands…

And just like that, the duo had gotten rid of all the Soul Hunters who had raided the house.

With the issue now resolved, Juno then began walking over to the frightened girl before sitting next to her… As she placed a hand over the poor girl’s shoulder, however, the girl instantly began screaming frantically as she instinctively curled up into a ball!

Heartbroken by the girl’s state of mind, Juno then slowly embraced her while saying, “It’s alright now… You’re saved…! It’s all going to be alright…”

It took a while, but after Juno’s constant reassurance, the girl finally managed to calm down slightly… However, now that the fear was gone, sadness instantly set in, and within Juno’s embrace, the girl began shedding tears, her wails resonating across the entire house…

Her cries only made Juno’s heart ache even more. Gerald himself could only shake his head as he slowly walked out of the room…

Stepping out, Gerald then signaled for Rey—who was still hiding—to come over.

Seeing that, Rey then quickly made his way toward the house… But the second he saw how bloody it was now inside, he instantly dashed out again to puke his guts out! Since this was the first time he had seen such fresh corpses, it was undoubtedly a great shock to him…

Knowing that, Gerald couldn’t really blame Rey for his reaction. After all, Gerald himself was only this nonchalant toward the dead since he was used to seeing corpses by this point. With that in mind, Rey’s tolerance toward sights like these would surely rise the more corpses he witnessed in future.

Regardless, it was some time later when Rey finally gathered the courage to look at the corpses again. Once Gerald made sure he was fine, the duo then got to work burying the corpses. Naturally, they buried the girl’s parents separately.

Once they were done, Rey couldn’t help but growl, “Those people… they’re inhumane…!”

While Gerald didn’t reply, his solemn expression did the talking for him.

True to Rey’s words, the Soul Hunters truly were ruthless to be able to do such brutal acts…

After witnessing all this, Rey was now more determined than ever to become a cultivator. By working hard, he would hopefully be able to prevent scenes like these from happening…
