Chapter 1859
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1859 As it turned out, there were traps littered all over the place here to prevent intruders from enteringâ¦
Either way, it was only a few minutes later before arrows finally stopped shooting outâ¦
Once they were sure that the coast was clear, the duo then cautiously peeked beyond the door againâ¦
Turning to look at the countless arrows littered on the ground, Rey couldnât help but gulp as he muttered, ââ¦Thank god you reacted so quickly, Mr. Crawford⦠Otherwise, we wouldâve surely been pierced to high heaven!â
âIndeed⦠Iâm assuming even more traps await us inside. With that in mind, do be careful and stick close to me! Never walk around randomly, understand?â replied Gerald.
âYou donât have to tell me twice, Mr. Crawfordâ¦!â replied the still slightly rattled Rey.
Even if Gerald hadnât said that, Rey wouldâve still done the same. As if heâd dare to even move five feet away from Gerald after witnessing all that!
Regardless, the duo then cautiously began entering the areaâ¦
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Juno and Yrsa were simply waiting for the duoâs return at Mr. Bateâs place. Since they had no idea when Gerald and Rey would return, all they could do at the moment was wait there.
âHow much longer will they remain in there, Mr. Batesâ¦?â asked Juno.
âI wish I could answer that⦠After all, even I donât know what could happen there⦠We can only hope that their fortune protects them thereâ¦â replied Mr. Bates.
While his reply was vague, Juno really couldnât be bothered about it. After all, in her mind, she only hoped that the two would make a safe returnâ¦
It was at that moment when all three of them suddenly heard whispers coming from within the nearby forestsâ¦
Raising a brow, Juno turned to look at the source of the voices⦠and to her shock, the speakers appeared to be the Soul Hunters from before! To think that they had managed to survive the incident that had befallen them back at the wooden bridge!
âMr. Bates! Itâs the Soul Hunters!â said Juno.
Snorting in response, Mr. Bates then replied, âThey just donât know when to give up, do they?â
Upon hearing that, Juno and Yrsa were momentarily stunned. To think that Mr. Bates knew about themâ¦
âLeave from the back and find someplace to hide. Iâll be dealing with them, and until I say itâs safe to come out, remain hidden!â ordered Mr. Bates.
âGot it! Be careful, Mr. Bates!â replied Juno as she quickly held onto Yrsaâs hand before leading her out the back doorâ¦
Barely even seconds after they left, the cloaked man could be seen barging into Mr. Bateâs courtyard with several Soul Hunters.
Seeing that, Mr. Bates walked out and simply stared at the cloaked man right in the eyeâ¦
Smiling subtly, the cloaked man then stared back at Mr. Bates before saying, âBeen quite a while, Mr.
Bates!â
âHow have you still not given up, Leandro?â replied Mr. Bates without beating around the bush.
The man Mr. Bates was squinting at went by Leandro Zaborowski, and he was the leader of the Soul Huntersâ¦
Laughing aloud after hearing Mr. Bateâs statement, Leandro then shamelessly declared, âBut of course I havenât! I wonât stop until Iâve obtained the Phangrottom Talisman! Once I finally have it, Iâll be able to rule over the ghost world and make everyone there obey me!â
âHah! And thatâs exactly why youâll never be able to obtain it, Leandro!â sneered Mr. Bates.
