Chapter 1844
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1844 The city was known as Phantom City, and it was a city that was made specifically for ghosts and spirits.
From where they stood, Gerald and Rey could see that everything in the city looked ancient⦠The duo was also able to see several ghostly peddlersâthat varied in appearanceâscattered all over what appeared to be a market in the city.
Understanding that most of the spirit world was going to look like this, the duo decided to make haste and began walking toward the cityâs entranceâ¦
However, upon reaching the cityâs gates, their entry was promptly blocked by a pale-faced man donning a long black robe.
Staring at the two with his blue eyes, the black-robed man declared, âNeither of you belong here.
Leave!â
âBefore that⦠Who exactly are youâ¦?â asked Gerald.
âI go by Phanto, and Iâm the phantom officer of this place!â introduced Phanto, much to the surprise of Gerald and Rey.
To think that phantom officers existed in the first place! It was almost like they were in some television drama or something!
After a slight pause, Gerald smiled faintly before replying, âWeâre only passing through this place, and we arenât here to cause trouble, sir. With that in mind, please allow us to pass!â
Since this wasnât his usual territory, Gerald knew that he had to refrain from acting rashly. At the very least, he needed to remain polite.
However, if a similar scene had happened in the real world, Gerald wouldâve already made a move on whoever dared to obstruct his way. As if he would have the time to waste with politeness!
âLook, I need a passing permit to allow you to enter! If you donât have any, donât even dream about entering!â replied Phanto in a stern voice.
âA passing permit? How do we obtain one?â asked Gerald.
Hearing that, Phanto then pointed at a tall tower emitting dark blue lightsâthat honestly wasnât all that far awayâbefore explaining, âYou can get it by passing a test there. Once youâve got that done, youâll receive your passing permit!â
âThank you for sharing!â replied Gerald as he began walking toward the tower with Rey.
As it turned out, entering the most feminine places really wasnât going to be as easy as they had anticipated. Since Gerald couldnât think of any other way to enter and he would very much prefer to resolve this issue without using force, the only way forward was to pass that test⦠At the very least he wouldnât end up offending any of the locals.
Regardless, they soon found that the tall towerâs gates had been tightly locked. Even so, they knew that there were individuals inside since the interior constantly glowed in that familiar blue hueâ¦
With that in mind, Gerald was just about to knock on the door when suddenly, it swung open!
Before Gerald could even react, a cold and gloomy-sounding voice could be heard coming from inside, shouting, âEnter!â
Hearing that, Gerald was first to enter. However, just as Rey was about to follow, the gates suddenly slammed shut behind Gerald!
ââ¦H-huh? Whatâs happening, Mr. Crawfordâ¦?â asked the astonished Rey.
âOne individual at a time!â yelled the same voice from before.
Understanding that this was simply a rule to this place, the disheartened Rey could only sit on one of the towerâs many steps as he waited for Gerald to returnâ¦
