The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1921

Since Gerald and Rey had earlier dismantled all the traps leading to the chamber, Tye and his men had little trouble getting to the tomb, and upon seeing the casket for the first time, Tye instantly went giddy with excitement.

Laughing triumphantly, Tye’s eyes glinted greedily as he ran toward the casket while yelling, “I’ve finally found you! After all this time!”

Seeing how delighted Tye was, one of his confused men couldn’t help but ask, “Um… Whose tomb is this, Charman Lamano…?”

“Hmm? This is the tomb of a great general of the ancient country of Zanekh! While there are countless treasures in this tomb, the most priceless one can be found in this very casket! Based on the rumors I’ve heard, there’s a ten-thousand-year-old pearl in there that’s capable of preserving a body for eternity!” explained Tye as his hand caressed the golden casket. “R-really? That’s one hell of a treasure then!” exclaimed the man who had asked.

“You bet it is! Now enough talk! Hurry and get me the casket-opening tools we brought along!” ordered Tye, prompting his men to do as he instructed.

Tye himself had been very specific when selecting the tools since he wanted the process of opening the casket to be perfect.

Still, Tye couldn’t help but feel surprised that Gerald and Rey had left the casket alone despite successfully making their way here…

Whatever the case was, everything got set up quickly and before long, the casket was finally ready to be opened…!

Before Tye could order for it to be opened, however, a voice suddenly roared out, “Don’t you dare open itl”

As the words echoed across the chamber’s walls, Tye turned to glare at the source of the voice… and of course, the voice belonged to Gerald.

“Gerald Crawford…!” growled Tye, his voice brimming with hatred. After all, he hadn’t forgotten that Gerald had stolen his map! “Tye Lamano! You’d best not open Talias’s casket! While what you want may be inside, I assure you that you’ll definitely come to regret letting whatever’s in there out!” sneered Gerald.

Despite the clear warning from Gerald, Tye’s hatred and urge to kill Gerald had completely blinded the man.

With that in mind, Tye simply retorted, “Like I care! Also, don’t even dream about leaving this place alive! You’re meeting your maker today if it’s the last thing I do!”

“You dare threaten me after killing everyone in Moonbeam Village? Are you even human anymore, you b*stard?!” scowled Gerald, his wrath growing by the second.

Laughing mockingly, Tye simply scoffed, “So what if I killed them? Though to be honest, if anyone’s to blame for their deaths, it should be you! Hah!”

Hearing how unremorseful Tye was being, Gerald’s rage skyrocketed as he glared at Tye while yelling, “You… You’ll pay for all this…!”

While Gerald already saw Tye as a dead man, Tye himself simply thought that Gerald was talking big. After all, Tye clearly had the upper hand in terms of manpower.

With that, he chose to ignore Gerald as he declared, “Enough! Men, open the casket!”

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1922

Nobody was going to get in his way of opening the casket, not even Gerald!

“You’re a dead man, Tye!” roared Gerald as he bolted toward the evil man.

“Stop him!” yelled Tye as several of his men quickly stood before Gerald, blocking him from reaching Tye!

However, Gerald wasn’t in the mood to waste time with these buffoons. Swiftly attacking them, all he needed was a single hand to send all of the men flying!

Seeing that, Tye’s other men immediately took action as well.

Tye himself was too busy prying the casket open—along with three other men—to even bother about Gerald. In his mind, getting the casket open was his top priority…

Regardless, Tye’s men were naturally no match against Gerald, and he easily pummelled them to the ground.

Upon hearing his men’s agonized screams, Tye was finally forced to look away from the casket.

Realizing that the rest of his men were too injured to even get up anymore, Tye’s eyes could only widen as Gerald began coming for him next!

Since the only men he had left were the three who were currently helping him open the casket, Tye gritted his teeth as he yelled, “You three! Go stop him!” Doing as Tye instructed, the three men immediately charged toward Gerald… Only to find themselves getting slapped so hard they were instantly knocked out!

Eyes now fully widened, Tye knew that he wasn’t going to be able to take on Gerald alone. With that in mind, he pointed at Gerald before shouting, “You… Don’t you dare take a step further! An inch closer and I’ll open the casket! We’ll surely die together then!”

Hearing that, Gerald stopped in his tracks before glaring back at Tye as he retorted, “Do you honestly think that’ll stop me from ending you? I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. You’re paying the price for massacring all the villagers in Moonbeam Village.”

Once Gerald had his mind set on killing someone, nobody would be able to stop him from doing the deed. Gerald, for one, knew that if he didn’t kill Tye today, then the current resentment in his heart would never truly go away. Revenge needed to be taken for Stanton and the villagers…!

“Hah! Had you not stolen my map, I wouldn’t have had to kill them in the first place! With that in mind, you’re the true reason why they’re all dead! Stop putting the blame on me!” yelled Tye without the slightest remorse for his actions.

“Cut the cr*p! Look, if you let go of the casket’s lid, I’ll consider granting you a painless death. If you don’t, well, I’ll make sure you die extremely slowly and painfully!” growled Gerald, knowing full well that speaking with this demonic man was only a waste of breath.

In response to Gerald’s threat, Tye simply laughed maniacally. As if he would ever listen to Gerald after what that boy did…

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1923

Regardless, once he was done laughing, Tye used all his strength to lift the lid off the casket!

Though Gerald immediately leaped forward and kicked Tye into the air after seeing that, the deed had been done. With the casket now open, the entire chamber began shaking violently, sending debris—from the ceiling—falling everywhere…!

Even so, Gerald’s attention was currently on more worrying things, like the black mist that had just flown out the golden casket! Just as Gerald had predicted, there was something extremely dangerous within that casket!

Whatever the case was, things were looking bad.

With that in mind, Gerald immediately retreated from the chamber and reunited with Rey who had been hiding at a blind spot right outside the chamber.

Upon seeing Gerald, Rey quickly asked, “W-what should we do now, Mr. Crawford… ?!”

“Run, of course! We need to get out of here!” yelled Gerald as he grabbed Rey’s arm before yanking him toward the exit.

Though escaping this place unscathed was his priority, Gerald made sure to take a few glances behind him as the duo ran on… While the black mist didn’t go after Gerald or Rey, it completely surrounded Tye and his men! From the looks of it, the mist appeared to be rapidly draining Tye’s men’s life forces! Though that may sound horrible, it was nothing compared to the agony Tye was probably feeling.

After all, in that brief moment Gerald caught sight of Tye, he saw that the black mist had pierced right through the back of Tye’s head… and it was currently protruding out of his mouth! What a truly terrifying way to die…

Still, Gerald made sure to remind himself that it was none of his business…

Soon after, Gerald and Rey safely made it out of the exit. Before even thinking of leaving, however, the duo made sure to properly seal the entrance up so that the black mist wouldn’t be able to escape…

Once that was out of the way, both of them sat on the ground, exhausted.

Rey himself was panting much heavier than Gerald was. After all, he was still new to witnessing such dangerous chains of events, and all this happening within a tomb certainly didn’t help!

Whatever the case was, there was a silver lining to all this. After all, Tye and his men had received the retribution they deserved…

The only regret Gerald had was that he wasn’t able to kill that devil of a man with his own hands…

Regardless, after catching their breaths, Gerald turned to look at Rey before saying, “…Alright, now that all this is done, let’s return to the village. We need to give the villagers a proper burial!”
