Chapter 1872
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1872 âFrom what Iâve managed to gather up till this point, the killer was never a human, but instead, a grudgeful ghost!â
ââ¦Come again? A grudgeful ghost? Are you absolutely sure, Mr. Crawford? This isnât exactly a minor case,â replied Harold in a slightly doubtful tone.
Truth be told, Harold didnât really believe in ghosts. However, with so many supernatural occurrences happening before his very eyes, what other choice did he have but to believe?
âSince youâve hired me to solve the case, youâll just have to trust me, Mr. Lee. Regardless, I promise you that I, Gerald Crawford, never lie about things like this! If you still refuse to believe me, however, then letâs not continue wasting each otherâs time,â replied Gerald as he immediately turned around to leave.
If his judgment wasnât going to be trusted, then he may as well just leave.
Quickly stopping Gerald from leaving, Harold then sighed before saying, âYou misunderstand me, Mr.
Crawford! Iâm not doubting your capabilities at all! However, do keep in mind that this case is getting a bit out of hand now. I need something a little more⦠Convincing to calm everyone, if you know what I meanâ¦â
âMr. Lee, I assure you one hundred percent that ghosts are among us. Regardless, if Iâm staying then letâs not waste any time arguing about their existence. The main focus now should be to capture the grudgeful ghost before it causes any more trouble!â declared Gerald in a serious tone.
ââ¦Yes, yes⦠Youâre absolutely right! Fine then, I place my trust in you, Mr. Crawford! With that saidâ¦
What should we do next?â asked Harold.
âFor now, I suggest that you and your men head back first while I remain here with my disciple. Call it a hunch, but I believe that the grudgeful ghost still has some unfinished business here. With that in mind, it will surely return tonight!â replied Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Harold simply agreed. Since he had chosen to trust Gerald, he believed that Gerald had a plan. Besides, Gerald was the expert in the supernatural here, so who was he to question his decisions?
With that, Harold and his men soon left the buildingâ¦
By that point, the crowd from before had dispersedâsince it wasnât like there was anyone to give them advice anymore anywayâ, and the Elysian Labyrinth was promptly cordoned offâ¦
To pass the time, Gerald and Rey simply remained in their car outside the dead manâs home.
Once night came, Rey couldnât help but ask, ââ¦Are you really sure that weâll see the ghost tonight, brother Geraldâ¦?â
âPutting it simply, all ghosts instinctually feel the need to return to crime scenes involving them. Adding that to the fact that night is usually the most active time for ghosts, Iâm pretty sure that the grudgeful ghost will make a return!â replied Gerald.
With how confident Gerald sounded, Rey was inclined to believe that Gerald must be right.
Seeing that Rey had asked, Gerald took his phone out to check the time⦠Apparently, it was already ten.
Nodding as he slid his phone back into his pocket, Gerald then said, âAlright, letâs make our move!â
Following that, the duo left the car before stealthily making their way to the Elysian Labyrinthâs entranceâ¦
Just as Rey was about to open the door, however, Gerald suddenly called out in a hushed tone, âHold it!â
As Rey turned around to look at Gerald, wondering what was wrong, he couldnât help but furrow his brows as Gerald placed his hand on Reyâs forehead.
The truth was, Gerald was currently transmitting some power into Reyâ¦
