Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1914

Hearing how worried the boy was for his safety, Gerald couldn’t help but smile subtly as he looked up while shouting, “What are you waiting for, Rey? Jump already!”

Upon hearing Gerald’s response, Rey was instantly overjoyed. After all, not only was Gerald still alive, but he had apparently successfully found a way to escape this hellish loop!

Now that he knew this, Rey mustered up his courage… before leaping and plunging straight into the abyss!

Immediately screaming as he plummeted, his utter terror soon turned into confusion when he realized that his feet were already on the ground. The fall had barely even taken a second!

“Was there really a need to scream that loudly…” grumbled Gerald whose ears were now throbbing due to how loud Rey had been.

While Gerald was left annoyed, Rey himself was so overjoyed—that he was still alive—that he immediately exclaimed, “I-I’m alive! And to think that the jump wasn’t even all that long! W-we’re finally free from those stairs, Mr. Crawford…!”

Shaking his head in resignation at how childish his disciple was being, Gerald simply patted him on the back before starting to walk toward the light before them…

Now realizing that the exit had been this close this entire time, Rey’s eyes widened as he called out, “W-wait for me, Mr. Crawford!”

Quickly catching up to Gerald, the duo soon went past the shining exit… However, what awaited them was nothing short of surprising. Beyond the exit, lay a worn-down place that looked utterly ravaged…

Staring at the near-endless towering pillars around them, Rey couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, “H-holy cr*p! To think that such a place existed down here…! Everything here looks ancient!”

Though Gerald said nothing, he shared the same sentiments. After all, who wouldn’t be amazed and shocked to find ancient ruins out of the blue…

Regardless, Gerald was first to break the silence by saying, “…Come on, let’s have a look around!”

Nodding in agreement, Rey then began exploring the wondrous place with Gerald…

However, they had only taken a few steps forward when both of them stopped dead in their tracks.

Strange skittering sounds seemed to be quickly approaching them, and they could immediately tell that something was amiss. Was it danger…?

“What… is that, Mr. Crawford…?” whispered Rey as he leaned in closer to Gerald.

Instead of replying with a guess, Gerald simply chose to slowly turn around, prompting Rey to do the same… and the second they saw what was coming for them, Rey’s eyes immediately widened.

As it turned out, the sounds were coming from a hoard of giant scorpions! “H-holy cr*p! Why the hell are those scorpions so massive?!” stuttered the quivering Rey.

“Shut it! And stop moving around so much!” ordered Gerald in a calm tone.

While it was his first time seeing such massive scorpions as well, he wasn’t afraid of them at all. After all, he had already seen all kinds of horrifying ghosts, so how scary could scorpions be for him?

Though Gerald wasn’t intimidated by the giant scorpions, that wasn’t the case for Rey. He was completely frozen in fear as he watched the scorpions quickly encircle them, swaying their pointy stingers from time to time, seemingly prepared to attack them at any moment…

Small scorpion stings were already quite venomous, so Rey didn’t even want to begin imagining how potent these large scorpions’ stingers were… In fact, from how large and sharp those stingers looked, one would probably die from the stab alone…
