The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1971

Whatever the case was, it was only seconds later when both Gerald and Christos’s expressions turned grave.

Both of them had sensed an immense murderous intent rapidly approaching them from the outside!

“It seems that you’ve been followed, kid! You got a lot of enemies or something?” grumbled Christos.

Since Christos had been laying low in here for decades, there was no way the enemy was coming for him. With that in mind, Gerald understood that it only made sense for the murderous people to be after him…

Still, to think that news about him arriving in Rico would spread so quickly… Gerald, for one, hadn’t expected others to be coming after him so soon! Had his enemies been observing him this entire time…?

Regardless, Gerald could only lower his head in embarrassment as he said, “I apologize for the trouble, senior Christos…! Allow me to deal with them first!” Following that, he walked out the grocery store and stood by the door…

By this point, night had already fallen and it was quite dark. Adding that to the fact that not a single soul could be seen walking the streets, the scene was undoubtedly creepy…

It almost felt like danger lurked in every corner…

A split second after Gerald had that thought, several knives began flying toward him!

While Gerald was able to dodge all of them—resulting in the knives getting embedded into the door behind him—, it was too dark to see his assailants.

However, it didn’t take long before a few murderous-looking men—all of them donning black suits—emerged from the shadows!

All of them had longswords in hand, and they quickly surrounded the youth…

While the armed men weren’t exactly weak, to Gerald, they were nowhere close to being his opponents.

Before anyone— including Gerald—could make a move, however, a blurry figure suddenly bolted out of the grocery store! Stopping right in front of Gerald, the figure then released a powerful shockwave from his palm, sending all the men in black flying!

By the time they landed, all of them were already dead!

Of course, the one who had done the deed was none other than Christos, and his power was certainly a surprise to Gerald. Then again, Gerald was more startled by the fact that Christos had helped him take those men out in the first place.

Whatever the case was, Christos then looked at Gerald rather disdainfully before saying, “Hey, why are you even wasting time with those morons? You said you needed my help to head to the Autremonde Realm, no? Let’s get going then.”

Upon hearing that, Gerald was rightfully embarrassed. After all, while he could’ve taken those men out just as easily, he hadn’t done so immediately just as Christos had…

Regardless, since Christos had dealt with them, he had one less thing to bother about…

Still, Gerald had to hand it to that old man. After all, he still maintained his strength after all these years…

Either way, the two then left for Dragonott…

Once they had boarded their flight, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Christos… According to the notebook, the stone monument which leads to the Autremonde Realm is located atop Mount Kenloux… Is that true?” “Bingo. Upon activation, it’ll open a portal to the Autremonde Realm!” replied Christos, prompting Gerald to nod…

Once they got to Dragonott, the duo then got into a car before heading straight for Mount Kenloux…

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1973

As the duo made their way to Mount Kenloux, a man dressed fully in black could be seen kneeling in the middle of a room located on the far end of Dragonott.

The man himself was kneeling before another robed man who had a scepter of sorts in hand…

Shortly after, the kneeling man then quickly reported, “From what we’ve heard, Gerald has already left Rico and is now back in Dragonott, chief! Apparently, he’s already well on his way to Mount Kenloux

Upon hearing that, the robed man then asked in a frigid tone, “… Mount Kenloux? Why on earth is he headed there?”

“We can’t say for sure yet, but we do have something else that’s noteworthy! There’s an extremely powerful man with Gerald now, and all our men—who were sent out to attack Gerald—were killed in a single attack by that person!” said the kneeling man while shaking his head.

Hearing that, the robed man then snorted before scoffing, “What are you up to this time, Gerald… No matter. Get me a car now! I’m heading to Mount Kenloux!”

“Loud and clear!” replied the man in black before getting to his feet and walking out the hall…

Moving back to Gerald and Christos, it wasn’t long before they both arrived at the foot of the mountain…

Seeing no reason not to start scaling it immediately, the duo did just that.

It took them about three hours, but they eventually arrived at the mountain peak…

Looking around, Gerald soon saw a greenish-white stone monument at the highest point of the mountain… It looked just as Christos and the notebook had described it…

Upon closer inspection, several patterns and undecipherable words seemed to have been carved into the stone monument…

Either way, Christos wasn’t about to waste his time waiting for Gerald to finish inspecting the place. With that in mind, he went straight to the point and said, “Here we are, kid. The stone monument that’ll get you to the Autremonde Realm… Are you ready?”

“lam, senior Christos! Let’s begin!”
