Chapter 1856
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1856 Upon hearing that command, the duo could only exchange glances.
Knowing that it wouldnât do them any good to cause a scene, both of them simply followed the phantom soldiersâ leadâ¦
Eventually, they arrived at what appeared to be a palace of sorts within the cityâ¦
After being led in, the two soon saw an armor-clad ghost sitting atop a throne, looking all high and mightyâ¦
Unbeknownst to them, the ghost went by the name of Yohr God, and he was the ruler of Phantom City.
âYour highness! We captured these two foreigners in our cityâs town!â reported one of the phantom soldiers as two others led Gerald and Rey forward.
Upon hearing that, Yohr got to his feet before squinting his eyes at Geraldâ¦
After a while, Yohr was prompted to say, ââ¦Youâre quite the special one!â
âThank you, though⦠Who are you againâ¦?â asked Gerald in a composed tone.
Booming with laughter, Yohr then replied, âYou⦠donât even know who I am? You truly have some nerve coming here if you donât even recognize me!â
âHeâs our cityâs magnificent king, Yohr God!â snapped one of the phantom soldiers standing at the side.
Hearing that, Gerald and Rey couldnât help but feel slightly surprised. To think that there would actually be a ghost king here!
Whatever the case was, Gerald felt that it was best not to immediately offend these people. It was honestly amusing how Gerald was the one trying to be reasonable with actual ghosts instead of the other way around.
Regardless, Gerald then said, âJust so you know, weâre not here to cause any trouble! Weâre simply passing through the most feminine place!â
âPassing through? Where exactly are you headed to?â asked Yohr in a much sterner voice now.
âIâm off to seek the Phangrottom Clan!â declared Gerald, seeing no reason to lie.
Even so, upon hearing Geraldâs answer, Yohrâs expression instantly grew gloomy as he said, âYou canât be serious. In case you didnât know, anyone who barges into their territory will definitely suffer a terrible fate! Do you honestly think you can make it back in one piece with just the two of you? How utterly ridiculous!â
Watching as Yohr then snorted disdainfully while glaring at them, Gerald simply chuckled before smiling as he replied, âBut of course Iâm serious. Why wouldnât I head there when even you called me a âspecial oneâ?â
âAre you talking back to me? Are you trying to court death or something?!â growled Yohr as he instantly transformed into a dark fog that bolted toward Gerald!
In barely a split second, Yohr was already standing inches away from Geraldâs feet, his eyes glaring straight into the youthâs.
âArenât you afraid of death at all?â scoffed Yohr as he continued staring at Gerald.
âHah! As if Iâd come here in the first place if I was afraid of dying! Regardless, perhaps this will answer your question!â retorted Gerald with a snort as he separated his spirit from his body!
Staring at Geraldâs ghost form, the surprised Yohr couldnât help but exclaim, ââ¦So youâre a cultivator whoâs half human and ghost? Color me surprised!â
While Yohr was well aware that there existed other half human and ghost cultivators like Gerald, he also knew that these hybrid cultivators were generally much stronger and had way more capabilities than fully human ones.
With that in mind, Yohr then turned to face his phantom soldiers before ordering, ââ¦Untie them!â
After watching the soldiers do Yohrâs bidding, Gerald then returned to his body.
Rey himself had been shocked silent this entire time. Based on what he had just witnessed, he now knew how that innkeeper had ended up getting all tied up the other day. After all, just like what had happened moments ago, Geraldâs physical body had gone unconscious while he was in his ghost form.
If Rey remembered correctly, this was similar to having an out-of-body experience!
