Chapter 1861
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1861 Regardless, Leandro then ordered his men to slit Mr. Batesâs neck. With how fresh the corpse was, blood immediately began flowing outâ¦
As it turned out, they were unwilling to let Mr. Bates rest in peace even after mercilessly killing himâ¦
How absolutely inhumaneâ¦
Even so, this perfectly explained why Mr. Bates had been so reluctant to help Leandro and his subordinates. With that in mind, it made sense why the old man had chosen to die rather than compromise with such a person.
Though Leandro thought he was smart by obtaining Mr. Batesâs blood to activate the Stonehenge lookalike, he quickly found out that it wasnât as easy as he imagined.
After all, even after he ordered his subordinates to pour Mr. Batesâs blood onto the stone pillar, nothing happened.
âD*mn it!â scowled the angry Leandro as his fury raised even further.
Unable to contain his anger, he retrieved a knife before slowly walking over to Mr. Batesâs corpse⦠and to relieve his wrath, he began slicing the corpse up! How unbearably cruel!
Even the other Soul Hunters could only quiver in fear as they watched their leader commit those heinous acts. None of them even dared to make a sound for fear that he would vent his anger out on them next.
Once he calmed down a little, Leandro glared at his subordinates before ordering, âSet up camp here!
Weâre waiting for them to return!â
Since he wasnât going to be able to enter that place, all he could do was wait for Gerald and his party to returnâ¦
Whatever the case was, the other Soul Hunters immediately got to work, not daring to waste any time for fear that Leandroâs anger would spark again. Fear was apparently a great motivator since the men were able to set up a temporary encampment around the Stonehenge lookalike in no time at allâ¦
Leandroâs plan was to ambush Gerald and his party the second they returned. What a truly wicked plotâ¦
Meanwhile, Gerald and Rey themselves were quietly exploring the Phangrottom Clanâs territory, careful with each step so that they wouldnât accidentally trigger another death trap.
Naturally, they had no way of knowing that Mr. Bates was now dead. Still, once Gerald eventually found out that not only had Mr. Bates been killed, but his body had been desecrated so vilely as well, he would surely fly into a rage. Leandro and his subordinates were definitely going to have hell to pay once he finally returnedâ¦
They still did not know what had happened out there, and they were also unaware of the result in which Mr. Batesâs corpse was being dismembered just to protect them.
If Gerald learned about that, he would definitely be deeply furious. He would certainly not let Leandro and his subordinates off. He would also gain justice for Mr. Bates, making Leandro and his subordinates pay a heavy and horrible price.
But those things would only happen after Gerald gained the Phangrottom Talisman.
Gerald brought Rey along and walked into the territory of the Phangrottom Clan.
Regardless, as the duo made their way to the center most part of the territory, they instantly became vigilant when the torches around them started lighting up!
Following that, a deep and spine-chilling voice called out, âWho goes there?â
Forget Rey, even Gerald couldnât help feeling afraid when he heard that voice!
Being a scaredy-cat, the pale-faced Rey was already hyperventilating as Gerald replied, âIâm a cultivator! I go by Gerald Crawford!â
Seconds after he shouted that, both Gerald and Reyâs immense fear finally died down.
Now that he could breathe properly again, the still fearful Rey couldnât help but look at Gerald as he exclaimed, âW-what the hell was all that about, Mr. Crawfordâ¦?!â
âCan it!â snapped Gerald.
