Chapter 1792
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1792 Gerald had deliberately avoided her question so that she wouldnât ask too much.
Getting the hint, the woman then nodded before quickly leaving the cave.
Seeing that she was now gone, Gerald quickly opened the letter and began reading through itâ¦
âCongratulations on finding the first hostage, Mr. Crawford! Now hurry along and go find where the next hostage is! Thereâs no money hidden here!â
After reading through the letter, Gerald couldnât help but frown. Another ancient poemâ¦? The culprit really enjoyed using ancient poems as clues, didnât he?
Regardless, the hint this time was pretty straightforward. Since the poem included the word âmoneyâ, it was only fair to assume that the next hostage could be found in a bank.
However⦠which bank? There were way too many banks in the Leicom Continent for Gerald to find the right one in such a short amount of time.
Realizing that he wasnât going to get anything done just by speculating here alone, Gerald immediately left the area, intent on studying the clue with Rey back at the office.
The second he got into his car, however, he immediately received a call from an unknown number.
âIt appears that youâve rescued the first hostage, Mr. Crawford. Iâm guessing youâve found the purple envelope as well, then?â
While Gerald could tell that the speaker was a male, his voice was weird, to say the least. Whatever the case was, Gerald then retorted, âI have, also f*ck you. You wonât get away with all of this! Iâll make sure I capture you if itâs the last thing I do!â
Following that, Gerald immediately hung up, not wanting to waste his breath on this strange man.
With that, Gerald then drove Junoâs car back to his office. Since his own car had previously been blown up, he could only use hers for the momentâ¦
Regardless, upon entering his office, Gerald was instantly greeted by the sight of Rey and two others inside.
Seeing that Gerald was back, Rey took the chance to ask, âMr. Crawford, youâre back! Where did you head off so early in the morning?â
Since all three of them hadnât seen Gerald all morning, they all had a hunch that he had probably gone off to do some personal investigating.
Either way, despite Reyâs question, Gerald simply ordered, âRey, I need you to immediately start investigating the phrase, âThereâs no money hidden hereâ!â
Not even bothering to ask why, Rey immediately headed to his computer to get to work as he replied, âLoud and clear!â
While Rey was used to not getting immediate answers from Gerald, Juno wasnât. With that in mind, she quickly walked up to him before asking, âWhatâs wrong, Geraldâ¦?â
Hearing that, Gerald retrieved the purple envelope from his pocket before handing it to Juno.
After reading through it, she momentarily appeared shocked, though that was to be expected.
What Gerald hadnât expected, however, was the fact that Juno would suddenly say, ââ¦I⦠I think I know where the letter is pointing to! If my guess is correct, it should be referring to a bank or a tax building⦠And thereâs only one place I can think of where both buildings can be found close together!â
Upon hearing that, Gerald immediately knew the area Juno was referring to. With that in mind, he patted Reyâs shoulder before saying, âYou heard her. Letâs head there right now!â
With that, Gerald and Rey bolted out of the office before speedily driving toward the tax building Juno had talked about.
Since Junoâs guess made total sense, Gerald had a feeling that the second hostage was definitely going to be thereâ¦
