The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1900
Turning to look at Gerald in surprise, Yann couldnât help but ask, âIs⦠something wrong, Gerald?â
âYeah, Mr. Crawford! Shouldnât we hurry and leave already?â added Rey in a confused tone.
âHush. Hand me a small knife, Rey!â ordered Gerald.
Obeying Geraldâs words, Rey retrieved a small knife from his belt before handing it to Geraldâ¦
The small knife now in his hand, Gerald then walked toward a crystal-clear, emerald-green jadeâthe size of a chicken eggâthat was embedded into the wallâ¦
Following that, Rey and Yann widened their eyes as they watched Gerald skillfully used the knife to pry the jade off the wall!
âH-huh? Didnât you say that we shouldnât touch any of the jades in here, Mr. Crawford?!â exclaimed the surprised Rey.
After plopping the jade into his pocket, Gerald simply replied, âTrue, but bear in mind that there usually arenât any traps near an exit!â
With that, Gerald continued walking out of the cave, causing the two stunned men to quickly snap out of it before running after him. The second all three of them were out, Rey immediately looked at the sky before taking in a deep breath of fresh air.
âThank god weâre finally out of that place! The air smells so much better out here!â exclaimed the jovial Rey.
While Yann was feeling just as pleased, he couldnât help but face Gerald as he asked, âSpeaking of which⦠What about Tye and the others, Geraldâ¦?â
Raising a slight brow, Gerald simply replied, âWhat? Do you still expect to obtain all that money from him?â
Upon hearing that, Yann fell silent for a moment before saying, ââ¦Thatâs not what I meantâ¦
Essentially, Iâm just worried and Tye and his men wonât let us off that easily once they realize that weâre gone!â
âHah! What makes you so sure that theyâll find the exit anytime soon? I assure you that by the time they finally get out, weâll be miles away from them! TheyâIl never be able to catch up to us!â replied Gerald with a chuckle.
Realizing that Gerald had a point, Yann simply nodded.
âNow then⦠If thereâs nothing else, letâs get moving already!â added Gerald.
âBut which direction should we head to, Mr. Crawfordâ¦? After all, we donât exactly have the map!â
asked Rey.
Smiling smugly in response, Gerald then replied, âAnd who was it who told you we donât have the map?â Understandably stunned to hear that, Rey and Yann could only stare incredulously at Gerald as the youth fished out the map from his pocket!
âWait, didnât Tye have the map? How did you get your hands on it, Gerald?â asked the bewildered Yann.
âHah! I got it while they were still entranced!â replied Gerald with a smile, prompting Yann to momentarily freeze before giving Gerald two thumbs up!
