Chapter 1807
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1807 Their attention was brought back to Rey when they heard his quivering voice say, âI-it was so terrifying, Mr. Crawfordâ¦!â
Looking at Reyâs fearful expression, Gerald then frowned slightly as he asked, âWhat is? What did you see?â
âYeah, I mean, there doesnât seem to be anything aroundâ¦â muttered Juno who was feeling just as bewildered as Gerald was.
Still, both of them were sure that whatever had scared Rey wasnât a ghost. After all, the duo couldnât sense the presence of ghosts at all.
âI-Iâm not too sure either⦠But just as I got up after doing my business, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blow past me⦠But⦠thenâ¦â muttered Rey who was now shaking so much that he couldnât even finish his sentence.
ââ¦Then what?â asked Gerald.
ââ¦W-well⦠When I turned around and looked up⦠I saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring right back at meâ¦! I-It was so terrifyingâ¦!â stuttered Rey as he recalled the incident he had witnessed.
Upon hearing that, the duo instinctively looked up⦠but even after scanning around again, neither of them was able to see anything that Rey had just described. All there was up there was the crescent moonâ¦
ââ¦You sure it wasnât a trick of your eyes? I donât think either of us see anything like thatâ¦â asked Gerald as he looked at Rey with a slightly raised brow.
Shaking his head, Rey then determinedly replied, âI swear on my life, Mr. Crawford and Miss Zorn! Iâm not joking around here! There really were a pair of bloodshot eyes!â
Seeing how sure he appeared, Gerald and Juno knew that he wasnât playing around. Adding that to the fact that Rey was trembling so much, he must have really bumped into something exceedingly terrifyingâ¦
ââ¦Got it. Regardless, donât worry, Iâm here now. Nothing will happen to you! That aside⦠Pull up your pants already!â said Gerald as he firmly patted Reyâs shoulder.
After hearing that statement, Rey looked down⦠before turning to look at Gerald and Juno again. It took him a second, but when it finally set in that his boxers were in full view this entire time, Reyâs face instantly reddened as he quickly pulled his pants up.
Seeing that, Gerald then consoled Rey again by adding, âAlright, letâs head back to our tents first. If you need to do your business again later, Iâll keep you company!â
Understanding that Rey had undergone a major shock, this was the only way Gerald could think of that could slightly put Rey at ease. Even so, he knew that his words didnât help much since Rey still looked so terrified. The image of the glowing red eyes must have imprinted itself into his mind by this pointâ¦
Knowing that staying out here for any longer definitely wouldnât help, Gerald then led Juno and Rey back to their tentsâ¦.
Once they were there, Gerald got out some warm alcohol and poured a cup for Rey.
âHere! Letâs drink that horrible memory away!â said Gerald.
Compared to the much more experienced Gerald, Rey was just a fresh university graduate. Due to that, he barely had any experience with the real world, yet here he was. Out here on an adventure with Gerald. With that in mind, Gerald knew that it was his responsibility to take care of Rey since he was the one who dragged him into this in the first place.
Regardless, Rey took the cup with his still trembling hands before replying, ââ¦Thank you, Mr.
Crawford!â
With how frightened Rey still was, Gerald couldnât help but feel slightly worried that the ghost was still lingering around. While he did do a quick scan through the area, it was far too dark by this point to clearly discern anythingâ¦
Whatever the case was, after downing the hot alcohol, Rey appeared much more relaxed than before.
At the very least, he wasnât trembling anymore.
Looking at Rey, Gerald then asked in a concerned tone, âFeeling betterâ¦?â
