Chapter 1764
The Secretly Rich Man
However, it wasnât long after before Gerald and the others noticed a problem, that being the fact that the houseâs large door was locked.
Seeing that, Lech immediately ordered, âMen, unlock the door!â
Hearing that, a specialist from Lechâs team quickly took a few tools out from his fanny pack and got to workâ¦
Not too long after, a clatter could be heard, signifying that the unlocking process was a success!
With that, Lech then pushed the door open and everyone else made sure to follow behind him. Upon entering, however, they quickly realized that the insides were mostly barren aside from a large disc in the middle of the house that was surrounded by four pillarsâ¦
âNow what could that beâ¦â muttered the slightly curious Gerald.
Hearing that, Old Flint then said, ââ¦This should be where the vampires cultivate themselves. Looking at the disc, Iâm guessing that only the leader of the vampires is allowed to sit there!â
As Gerald nodded in understanding, Lech himself could be seen frowning as he asked in a dissatisfied tone, ââ¦Whatever the case is, thereâs nothing in here! Are you sure weâve found the right place?â
There was simply nothing of value that Lech could see.
âThis is definitely the vampiresâ territory! Iâm sure of it!â replied Old Flint, his tone resolute.
Upon hearing that, the disappointed Lech could only choose to believe the old manâs words.
Shortly after, Lech led his men away to start searching the place for valuables. Gerald and his party, on the other hand, remained in the glaze house, hoping to uncover any information from the disc.
It wasnât long after before Lech and his teammates discovered a secret room at the side of the houseâ¦
Upon entering, their eyes instantly widened. This place was filled with riches and treasures of all kinds! Upon closer inspection, there was even a giant pellet-making furnace in the middle of the room!
Walking toward the table by the furnace, Lech was quick to notice several bottlesâranging from small to largeâplaced neatly on it.
âThere are lots of pellets here, captain! Are we taking them away as well?â asked one of Lechâs men.
âWhat kind of bullsh*t question is that? Of course, weâre taking them! Theyâre valuable medicines, you know? Theyâll surely sell for a hefty price!â retorted Lech.
Hearing that, his men then immediately began taking action, carrying everything valuableâthat they couldâout of the room. Naturally, this included the pellets.
By that point, Gerald and the others had already left the house. When they saw Lech and his team members taking so many spoils with them, all of them were naturally shocked.
Even so, Gerald didnât try to stop them. After all, unlike Lechâwho had specifically come here in search of treasureâ, Gerald and his party had other objectives. With that in mind, there was no reason for him to fight for any spoils with Lech and his team members.
Still, that didnât stop Ray from whispering, âThose people are way too crazy, Mr. Crawford!â
âPay them no heed. Letâs just focus on taking care of ourselves!â replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
Old Flint himself then added in a serious tone, âTheyâll be punished sooner or later. After all, those treasures are cursed! Whoever takes them will surely not have a good end. With that said, donât even think about touching any of the treasures you see!â
âOld Flint is right. No matter how precious the items you encounter are, never take them! Actually, to be on the safe side, donât even touch them!â
