Chapter 1771
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1771 ââ¦Donât tell me⦠You donât remember anything at all?â replied Gerald.
Shaking his head in his slight confusion, it truly appeared that he had no memory of what had just taken place.
ââ¦Tell me, why did you swallow the vampiric pearl?â asked Gerald. After all, had the old man not swallowed it, he wouldnât have entered that maddened state.
âI⦠What? I⦠swallowed itâ¦?!â replied Old Flint, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Gerald.
âYou did! After swallowing it, you turned into a madman and started attacking us!â explained Gerald.
After hearing everything that had happened from Gerald, Old Flint couldnât help but look at the pearlâ
that was still on the groundâas he muttered in his bewilderment, ââ¦I⦠The last thing I remember was you giving the pearl to me⦠I had no idea I did all that after that!â
Staring at the old man, Gerald had a feeling that he wasnât lying. Call it a gut feeling, but Gerald chose to believe Old Flintâs point of view.
However, if Old Flint truly hadnât been in control of himself when he started attacking, that clearly meant that the vampiric pearl was the source of the problem.
Still, if that was the case, why didnât anything happen to Gerald when he touched the pearl earlier?
What bizarre secrets lay behind all this�
Whatever the case was, after thinking for a brief moment, Gerald told Ray to hand him a piece of cloth.
Once he obtained it, Gerald then wrapped the pearl in it before slipping it into his bag.
It was better not to have such a terrifying item too close to him. Otherwise, who knew what would end up happening?
Either way, it wasnât long after before Gerald and the others managed to find a way out of the vampiresâ
territory. However, now that they were finally free, the party of five didnât descend the mountain.
Instead, they went upward.
Soon enough, it began snowing rather heavily⦠It certainly didnât help that the north wind was blowing so hard.
âWhy the hell is it snowing all of a sudden?! What even is this place?â exclaimed Ray in his surprise.
âLetâs not think about that first⦠We need to focus on finding shelter!â replied Gerald as he kept an eye out on anyplace they could hide from the snow.
Agreeing with Gerald, the five people quickly began scouting through the area⦠and eventually, they found a dark cave.
By that point, the snow was falling so heavily that it was evident that a snowstorm was coming soon.
With that in mind, Gerald and the others were thankful that they had managed to find shelter before that happened.
Upon entering, they found that it was a pretty suitable place to wait out the snowstorm. Even if it wasnât, it still beat being buried by snow in the middle of nowhereâ¦
Once they entered a bit deeper, however, Ray quickly pinched his nose as he grumbled, âThe hell?
What on earth is this horrible smell?â
Hearing Rayâs complaint, Gerald and the others quickly caught onto the pungent odor as well. Soon enough, it got so terrible that they felt like vomiting! Even so, they didnât have much of a choice but to remain here. It was either this, or dying under layers of snowâ¦
ââ¦Just bear with it. Some animals may have been here before!â replied Gerald.
Nodding in resignation, everyone simply sat down, hoping that the snowstorm would end soonâ¦
To their dismay, it showed no signs of stopping, even after quite a while.
While they didnât realize it, all five of them slowly began dozing off⦠To be fair, they hadnât rested for an entire day, so it only made sense for all five of them to feel completely drainedâ¦
Though having a nap wasnât really an issue, the real problem was that they didnât know what inhabited this caveâ¦
And soon enough, two red glints could be seen coming from deeper within the caveâ¦
