The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1910
âWhat should we do now, Mr. Crawfordâ¦?â asked Rey.
Staring straight at Yann, Gerald simply narrowed his eyes before shaking his head. He knew for a fact that Yann was already a lost cause⦠Greed truly was a frightening thingâ¦
Even so, he wanted to try one last time. Glaring at Yann, Geraldâs tone sounded much angrier as he growled, ââ¦One final time. Are you leaving with us, or arenât you?â
ââm not leaving yet!â roared Yann, instantly causing Geraldâs anger to peak.
That was the last straw. Not wanting anything to do with Yann anymore, Gerald then began walking out of the treasure roomâ¦
However, the second Gerald stepped out, all the candles in the room immediately went out. Following that, the room began glowing in an eerie green light!
âThis isnât good!â Gerald thought to himself as he quickly got out of the roomâalong with Reyâbefore yelling, âYann! Get over here! Quick!â
Of course, Yannâs fate had been sealed the second he chose to disobey Gerald⦠Unable to react in time, Yannâs eyes could only widen as he watched all the gold around him transform into green goo that quickly enveloped him! He didnât even have the time to scream before the goo completely melted him down to the boneâ¦
Gerald and Rey were understandably stunned to witness all this. To think that such a punishment had been set up for those who had been overtaken by greedâ¦
Regardless, Yann was now dead and there was nothing Gerald could do about it.
With that in mindâand the fact that the goo was slowly coming their wayâ, Gerald quickly grabbed onto Reyâs arm before yelling, âCome on, letâs leave this place!â
Rey wasnât about to say no to that, and the duo bolted back into the passageway from beforeâ¦
Shortly after, they heard the familiar scraping of stone on dirt coming from behind them, and it was pretty obvious that the door had closed itself again⦠Thank god they had left the room quicklyâ¦
Taking a momentary rest by sitting in the passageway, Rey couldnât help but look at Gerald with grief-
filled eyes as he said, ââ¦Mr. Crawford⦠Brother Yann, heâ¦â
While he knew that Rey was frightened since this was probably the first time he had seen someone die in such a terrible way, Gerald simply opted to reply in a calm tone, âHeâs deadâ¦â
Naturally, even Gerald was sad about Yannâs death, but had the man not been consumed by avarice, he wouldnât have had to die so horribly⦠With that in mind, Yannâs end was honestly deservedâ¦
After calming down a bit more, Rey couldnât help but ask, âWhat even was that green gooâ¦â âIâm not sure, but it probably resembles sulphuric acid since it could corrode so wellâ¦â replied Gerald who couldnât help but sigh, still slightly bummed out that Yann had to die.
After all, he saw the man as a good friend. Still, Gerald did find solace in the fact that Rey wasnât like Yann.
With that in mind, Gerald then patted Rey on the shoulder before praising, ââ¦Regardless, Iâm glad you werenât consumed by greed as well, Rey. Iâm proud of you!â
Despite the compliment, Rey was simply too sad to even feel pleased about it. After all, they had just lost a teammateâ¦
