Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1375
ââ¦The boss is here?â asked Chester, unsure how to even react to that statement.
âHahaha! It wonât be long before weâre saved! Just you f*cking wait, you Gunters! Once weâre free, Iâm definitely setting this place on fire!â growled Aiden in rage.
A little while later, Felton and Yume arrived at Yrethâs room.
Upon entering, he found that the layout of the room wasnât particularly complicated. Quite minimalistic, in fact. The only notable things in there were a desk at one side of the room and a shelf behind it.
ââ¦Is this where the secret room isâ¦?â asked Felton.
âIt should be⦠After all, Grandma has two secret rooms, as far as Iâm aware of. Iâm not sure whether you know about this or not, but grandma had a secret room that was accessible through her special study. It was where she imprisoned the woman in white. As for this room⦠I once caught grandma exiting from behind the shelf when I was much younger⦠With that in mind, there should be some contraption here that opens a path behind the shelf. If itâs anything similar to the way grandma revealed the secret room in her study, thenâ¦â
As Yumeâs voice trailed off, Gerald watched as she walked to the side of the study before holding onto a penâs capâthat was on the tableâand twisting it slightlyâ¦
A brief âclickâ was heard, and all of a sudden, the shelf began trembling as it slowly slid to the side, revealing a darkened hole leading underground!
Noticing how surprised she looked, Gerald then asked, ââ¦Didnât you say you saw her exit that place beforeâ¦?â
âWell, I did⦠But itâs vastly different from the secret room entrance that I remember as a childâ¦
Besides, canât you feel thatâ¦? The strange coldness coming from the holeâ¦â muttered Yume in her bewilderment.
ââ¦Whatever the case is, letâs enter first⦠Follow me!â
Quite honestly, Gerald himself had felt a chill run down his spine as well. There was just some sort of extraordinary aura that the hole emitted⦠and whatever it was, it scared Gerald greatly.
Within the hole was a long corridor, and secret compartmentsâfilled with all sorts of thingsâwere lined all across it.
Lighting an oil lamp that she found, Yume then began looking aroundâ¦
Eventually, she shouted, âI⦠I think Iâve found it!â
Watching as she joyfully held onto a blue jade charm, Gerald himself began sensing an enigmatic aura that was slowly growing stronger. With that in mind, he then said in a slightly fearful voice, ââ¦Its aura is very similar to the aura of the magic artifacts on both Aiden and Chesterâs bodies. This should be it.
Now letâs not waste any more time and leave this place already!â
âAlright!â
However, just as they were about to leave, both of them suddenly heard a loud scraping noiseâ¦
By the time they realized what was happening, the opening to the corridor had been sealed off, leaving the duo surrounded only by dead silence!
Just as Yume was about to investigate, she suddenly felt an immense force pulling onto her, prompting her to scream!
Gerald himself had sensed the strong suction force, and though he immediately used his Thunder Eruption skill in his attempt to resist it, the force eventually got so strong that it almost felt like he was being sucked into a black hole!
Unable to continue resisting the force by that point, both Gerald and Yume fell to the ground in unison⦠Only to fall into yet another chamber that was made of stone!
The second they hit the floor of the new area, all the lights within it instantly lit up.
Looking up, both of them then saw a ghostly black light hovering around in mid-air.
As if that wasnât already shocking enough, the orb of darkness suddenly deafeningly shouted, âHaha!
Iâve been waiting for someone other than Yreth to stumble in here! Tell me, are both of you descendants of the Gunter family?â
