Chapter 1829
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1829 âAs they walked on, Rey was prompted to ask, ââ¦Say⦠Do you think the innkeeper will get people to attack us as revenge, brother Geraldâ¦?â
Turning to look at Rey, Gerald then calmly replied, âProbably not. Even if he does try to get his revenge, itâs not like we canât deal with anything he throws at us. Iâm sure he understands that failing to take me out will grant him a one-way ticket to hell!â
Gerald himself felt that the innkeeper wouldnât dare to cause them any further trouble. After all, he had made sure to strike deep fear into that man.
ââ¦I see! Speaking of which, how exactly did the innkeeper get tied up to the chair in the first placeâ¦?â
asked Rey who had been dying to find out.
ââ¦Hmm? Do you really wish to know?â replied Gerald in a somewhat playful tone.
Watching as Rey nodded, Gerald simply said, âWhile Iâd love to tell you more about it, itâs not something you should be made aware of yet at your current stage. Again, donât worry. Iâll definitely tell you once youâre ready.â
âAlrightâ¦â mumbled the disappointed Rey, understanding that Gerald felt that he wasnât strong enough to even learn about what Gerald had done yet.
âNo need to feel down. As long as you train properly, youâll surely learn about it in the near future!â said Gerald with a smile.
Hearing that, Rey simply nodded in response. After all, he knew that Gerald wouldnât go back against his word.
Either way, it wasnât long after before the sun began brightening the skyâ¦
Since they hadnât slept much at all last night, the exhausted Rey couldnât help but say, ââ¦Um⦠Why donât we find someplace to rest first, brother Geraldâ¦? After all, we werenât able to sleep a wink last night!â
Upon hearing that, Gerald turned to look at Juno and Yrsa who looked equally as worn out.
âI have to agree with Rey, Gerald⦠We really should stop to take a short rest⦠Weâre already quite a distance from the Town of Five Elements, so Iâm sure nobody will be catching up to us anytime soonâ¦â
added Juno.
While it was true that Juno had entered the Avatar Realmâjust like Geraldâit didnât mean that she was incapable of feeling tired. What more, while she and Gerald shared a realm, Gerald was already at the Heavenly Emperor stage. With that in mind, he wouldnât ever get tired and his energy would always be maintained at a comfortable level.
Even so, he understood that the others still needed rest, which was why he then replied, âAlright, letâs take a short break then!â
Hearing that Gerald had agreed to it, Rey instantly breathed a sigh of relief, making it evident that he had assumed that Gerald wouldnât have agreed to it.
Either way, they soon came across a rocky cave and decided to have their rest inside.
However, aside from the fact that it was pitch black in there, there also appeared to be a foul odor that could be smelled, even from the caveâs entranceâ¦
âMy god! What is that stench!â grumbled Rey as he covered his nose with a frown.
Now that they were right at the caveâs opening, the smell was so terrible that it was almost vomit-
inducingâ¦
Before anyone could even reply, however, a roar of thunder could suddenly be heard in the quickly darkening skyâ¦
âGreat! A thunderstorm nowâ¦?â yelled the annoyed Rey as he stared at the sky.
Trouble just kept on coming! What a difficult life!
