Chapter 1793
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1793 While they were on their way there, Rey couldnât help but ask, âSo⦠mind filling me in, Mr.
Crawfordâ¦?â
Turning to look at Rey for a moment, Gerald then replied, âRemember that call from yesterday?â
Nodding in response, Rey then said, âI do. That person said he wanted to play a game with you⦠Donât tell me itâs already started?â
âIt has. That person has challenged me to rescue six hostages, and Iâve already rescued one this morning. Weâre currently on our way to rescue the second one!â explained Gerald.
Hearing that, Rey found himself momentarily speechless. No wonder Gerald hadnât been around this morning⦠He had already saved someone while they were still barely awake!
Disregarding how stunned Rey looked, Gerald then added, âEither way, that phrase I told you to investigate earlier, âThereâs no money being hidden here,â directly relates to the second hostageâs location, which is why weâre currently targeting the bank near the tax building!â
Just as Gerald completed his explanation, both of them arrived at the entrance of the tax building.
After getting off, the duo began looking around for the bank, and soon enough, they found it. However, since it was the weekend, the bank was closed, and only the self-service bankâat the sideâremained open.
âClosed, huh⦠What should we do now, Mr. Crawford?â mumbled Rey as he looked at Gerald.
âIâm sure the culprit anticipated the bank being closed today as well. With that in mind, the second hostage should be within the only operational part of a bank on a weekend, that beingâ¦.â
âThe self-service bank!â yelled the duo at the same time.
Now that they had come to this conclusion, both men rushed into the self-service bank and immediately began looking around.
A short while later, Reyâwho had searched high and low for clues of where the hostage could beâ
couldnât help but say, ââ¦There doesnât appear to be anyone here, Mr. Crawford⦠Could we have been mistakenâ¦?â
âNegative. Iâm sure Juno made the right guess!â replied Gerald without any hesitation.
The hostage was definitely here. They just hadnât found them yet.
Thankfully, since there werenât too many people aroundâdue to it being the weekendâafter the duo went silent for a while, they were able to hear faint knocking sounds coming from behind them!
Turning around, Rey perked his ears⦠before pointing at one of the ATM machines and shouting, âItâs coming from the third ATM, Mr. Crawford!â
Nodding in agreement, both of them then hurried over to the machineâ¦
As Gerald squatted and began investigating the ATM, the duo was caught slightly off guard when they heard a voice coming from the area where one would usually slip their cards into!
The voice itself was feminine, and it was calling out in a weak voice, âH-help⦠Pleaseâ¦â
Hearing that, Rey instantly yelled, âWeâve found the second hostage! We really did come to the right place!â
âIndeed, but itâs too early to be celebrating! Go call the Grand Council, Rey! Tell them to send people over to open this machine up!â ordered Gerald.
âRoger that!â replied Rey as he quickly fished his phone out and began calling the Grand Councilâ¦
