Chapter 1796
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1796 Soon enough, the duo arrived at what appeared to be a suspended platform.
Looking up and pointing toward it, Gerald then shouted, âUp there!â
As Rey turned to look up, he was surprised to see the hair of a woman hanging from the side of the platform!
It didnât take a genius to figure out that the woman lying up there was none other than the bank staff member they had previously saved from the ATM machine! To be captured again immediately after being released from the hospital⦠What an unfortunate womanâ¦
At that moment, both of them noticed that a figure had been staring intently at them from some rockery formations nearby.
Seeing that, Gerald ordered, ââ¦Go save that woman, Rey. Iâm hunting that person down!â
Following that, Gerald bolted straight for the figure, believing that he was definitely the culprit behind all this!
As he swiftly gained on the now fleeing man, the frustrated Gerald couldnât help but yell, âStop running, you coward!â
To Geraldâs surprise, the man did as Gerald told.
After his abrupt halt, the man then slowly turned around to look at Geraldâwho had stopped in his tracks as wellâbefore saying in a sinister voice, âSo, we finally meet, Mr. Crawford!â
ââ¦Who the hell are youâ¦â growled Gerald as he glared daggers at the man.
âHah! Iâm just someone whoâs about to die!â replied the man as he slowly slid his hood off to reveal his faceâ¦
Only for the now stunned Gerald to realize that the person was faceless!
Blank, smooth, and white, the expressionless person wouldâve terrified any ordinary person to the point of fainting! Thankfully, Gerald was no ordinary person.
âYou⦠Youâre not human, are you!â yelled Gerald as he stared at the faceless man.
âThat Iâm not! Though the same applies to you too, no? Still, unlike you whoâs only half ghost, Iâm an actual dead person who died drowning!â sneered the strange man.
ââ¦Alright, so⦠Why did you come looking for me thenâ¦?â asked Gerald who was now more confused than anything.
âListen up! My name is Yorrek Gurland and I drowned in a river three years ago! The one who drowned me was none other than the chairman of the Ember Lord Group, the Ember Lord himself! Regardless, after finding out that you had killed the Ember Lord, I just couldnât come to terms with it, which is why I came looking for you!â declared Yorrek.
Now understanding that this person had come looking for him for killing the Ember Lord, Gerald then replied, ââ¦Couldnât come to terms? Iâm not sure what your thought process is, but shouldnât you be thanking me now? After all, Iâve technically avenged you by killing him!â
âSilence! He should have died by my hands! You ruined everything!â roared Yorrek almost hysterically.
Hearing that, Gerald could immediately tell how deep his hatred was toward the Ember Lord. To think that Yorrek would be so reluctant to let him go, even after the Ember Lordâs deathâ¦
ââ¦Well, whatever the case is, heâs already dead! What else do you want?â asked Gerald.
âHeh! While heâs dead, youâre still alive! Since youâre the one who killed him, Iâm holding you responsible for all this! With that said, Iâm killing you as his substitute!â retorted Yorrek in a frigid tone.
