Chapter 1781
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1781 âHehe, Rey, donât forget that Ember Lord is no longer a human. Heâs even creepier than a ghost. Do you think he will be scared hiding in this place?â
Gerald chuckled and reminded Rey.
When Rey heard him, he found that it somehow made sense.
âYou can take a look, and I shall leave, then!â
The old man said to the three.
âOkay, old man. Thanks a lot for your help!â
Old Flint thanked the old man quickly.
âDonât mention it!â
The old man responded by waving his hand.
After the old man had left, Gerald and the other two stood in front of the wooden cottage, staring at it blankly.
They didnât know what to do. They couldnât enter the cottage, nor did they know how to get into it.
âGerald, Old Flint, what should we do now? Kick the door open?â
Rey looked at Gerald and Old Flint and asked.
âNo, thatâs nonsense. Trespassing is not right!â
Old Flint stopped Rey immediately.
Although Yamilet Faes was no longer alive, this cottage still belonged to her. So, they could not simply do what they wanted.
âThen, what should we do? We donât have the key.â
Rey sighed helplessly.
âWeâll wait until nighttime and see if Ember Lord will make an appearance here!â
After a while, Gerald suggested.
And so, they just waited there just as Gerald had suggested.
The wait lasted for a few hours.
They waited until eight oâclock, but still, Ember Lord did not appear.
The whole surrounding fell into darkness and stillness.
Being in such a dark environment could really intensify the fear in oneâs heart.
Apart from Gerald, Rey and Old Flint shrunk their necks and pulled their clothes tighter.
âGerald, itâs been so long. Itâs so dark already, do we still have to wait?â
Rey looked at Gerald and asked.
âYeah. Gerald. Why donât we get back into the car? Itâs at least better than staying in the cold like this!â
Old Flint, who was beside them, quickly made a suggestion.
When Gerald heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Gerald agree, Old Flint and Rey instantly felt delighted.
After that, the three got up and were ready to leave.
Just then, a light shone from the woods.
As soon as the light came on, it caught Gerald and the twoâs attention immediately. They were alerted and squatted down again immediately.
âYou three?â
Then, they heard the voice of the old man from just now.
Hearing his voice made the three breathe a sigh of relief.
They had thought that it was someone else. Apparently, it was him.
Gerald and the two got out of the bushes right away.
âOld man, why are you still out wandering around at this late hour?â
Old Flint asked the old man doubtfully.
âI saw that you have been waiting here for so long. So, I came to check on you!â
The old man smiled and answered.
âWeâre fine. Weâre just waiting for someone here!â
Old Flint hurriedly explained to the old man as he did not want the old man to sense that something was wrong.
