Chapter 1863

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1863 “You can’t leave the way you came in. I’ll be frank and say that there are people waiting to ambush you if you return the same way!” explained the Grim Phantom.

Feeling slightly startled by that claim, Gerald then asked, “Are… you sure, sir…?”

Before Rey could chime in, the Grim Phantom simply waved his hand, summoning what appeared to be a viewing portal…

Staring wide-eyed at it, Gerald and Rey realized that the area shown in the portal was none other than the Stonehenge lookalike that they had used to enter this place! Even more shocking was the fact that not only were several tents now pitched around that area, but there were also multiple Soul Hunters patrolling the grounds!

As it turned out, Grim Phantom had been telling the truth! To think that the Soul Hunters would simply wait there to ambush them as soon as they returned!

“…Mr. Crawford… Do you think that Mr. Bates, Miss Zorn, and Yrsa are…?” muttered the stunned Rey.

“…Don’t worry, they don’t appear to be anywhere in the area. With that in mind, I’m sure they haven’t been captured!” replied Gerald in a calm tone.

Even so, his deduction was only partially correct, though Gerald didn’t know about that…

Whatever the case was, Gerald then turned to look at the Grim Phantom before asking, “Do you know any other ways out of this place, sir?”

Nodding slightly, the Grim Phantom then waved his hand again… and just like that, another portal—

similar to the one the duo had used to come here—appeared before them…

“You can use this exit. Call it a secret exit of the Phangrottom Clan, if you so wish. Now hurry and leave!” replied the Grim Phantom.

“Thank you, Grim Phantom!” yelled Gerald as he immediately led Rey into the portal…

The second the duo were on the other side, the portal instantly closed behind them!

Stumbling to gather their bearings, Gerald and Rey began looking around… only to realize that they were in a forest of sorts.

Before them, was a rather familiar-looking house…

“…Say… Isn’t that house…?” asked Rey.

“It is! It’s Mr. Bates’s house!” exclaimed Gerald with a nod.

To think that the secret exit of the Phangrottom Clan would lead straight behind Mr. Bates’s home!

“…You know, I feel that Mr. Bates truly has an extraordinary identity… He’s definitely related to the Phangrottom Clan!” declared Rey.

After all, not only did the secret exit lead straight to the back of his home, but a portal leading to the most feminine place could be opened by merely using his blood! There was simply no doubting the fact that Mr. Bates had a deep relationship with the Phangrottom Clan!

“Whatever the case is, let’s go check on them!” replied Gerald as the duo quickly headed into his home…

However, upon entering, they soon realized that Mr. Bates, Juno, and Yrsa were nowhere to be seen.

The more worrying thing, however, was the fact that the insides of the house looked all topsy-turvy!

With such a huge mess before them, Gerald and Rey instantly revealed solemn expressions… As it turned out, the Soul Hunters had already been here!

At that moment, several soul hunters donning purple clothes suddenly bolted out from nowhere!

After successfully surrounding the duo, the leader of that group—who was the only one wearing grey clothes, evidently signifying that he was the strongest among them—sneered, “We’ve been waiting for you two for ages, you know?”
