The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1911
Understanding that staying here for any longer would only spell more trouble, after resting for a bit, Gerald got to his feet before saying, âAlright, letâs leave this place while we can!â
With that, the duo made their way back to the sealed main entranceâ¦
Once they were there, they quickly realized that there wasnât a mechanism to open the doors at all, at least not one they could easily see⦠The pitch darkness of the place certainly didnât helpâ¦
Understanding the fact that they didnât even know where to start looking for the mechanism, Rey couldnât help but stare at the massive stone wallâblocking the caveâs entranceâbefore looking at Gerald and asking, ââ¦How⦠should we leave, Mr. Crawfordâ¦?â
âWell, since there was a mechanism outside that allowed us to enter, Iâm sure thereâs another one in here that will allow us to leave! Since the Yin and Yang sidesâbased on the layout of The Eight Diagramsâwas the key to opening the door from the outside, Iâm assuming that the mechanism in here can be found opposite of that!â replied Gerald after thinking for a bit.
Following that, Gerald began searching the opposite areas⦠and after feeling around the stone wall, he managed to find a mechanism!
Immediately twisting it, Gerald and Reyâs eyes quickly widened as the floor beneath them began to crumble! To think that the mechanism would cause this!
Regardless, unable to react in time, both of them soon found themselves sliding down an inclined path!
While Rey screamed all the way down, Gerald himself could only think about how badly he had messed up this time. As it turned out, things werenât as easy as he had expectedâ¦
Whatever the case was, it was quite a while before the slope suddenly ended, sending both of them shooting out and landing on a soft pile of dirt.
Groaning as they got up, the two quickly realized that they seemed to have entered another caveâ¦
Aside from the fact that there was a pond in the caveâthat had water so clear that one could easily see its bottomâthere was not much else to note at first glance⦠âHoly cr*p⦠Where even are we, Mr.
Crawfordâ¦?â asked Rey as he dusted the dirt off his clothes.
Naturally, Gerald had no clue of where they were either. Even so, to think that there would actually be another cave under that cave⦠What a special placeâ¦
Simply shaking his head in response, Gerald and Rey then began investigating the surrounding area, hoping to find an exit. Unfortunately for them, no matter how hard they searched, there didnât seem to be one. They were trapped once againâ¦
âWell thatâs just great! I guess weâre stuck here!â said Rey as he sat down while heaving a heavy sigh.
Frowning slightly, Gerald then took Tyeâs map out before giving it a good look. Something had to be wrong here⦠Thankfully, Gerald was right.
Now that he had managed to find something significant, Gerald quickly called out, âRey!â
Hurriedly getting to his feet, Rey then raised a slight brow as he looked at the map while asking, ââ¦
Yes, Mr. Crawford? Did you find something?â
âIndeed! See the Officer Viewing Deck where we started from? While weâve changed course several times, I retraced our steps⦠and here! See that other cave on the map? I have a feeling that weâre currently here! And that cave clearly shows an entrance!â exclaimed Gerald, pointing at the map the entire time.
While Rey definitely felt that Geraldâs words made sense, he couldnât help but say, âThatâs fine and allâ¦
But weâve already made a thorough search of this place! Forget an exit, we havenât even managed to locate anything resembling a door opening mechanism!â
Though Gerald saw where Rey was coming from, he was sure that there definitely had to be a way out.
After all, there was a high chance that they simply hadnât looked in the right direction.
With that in mind, Gerald simply replied, âIâm sure the exit will appear soon! Keep calm, weâll definitely find a way to leave.â
