The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1915
âWW-what should we do now, Mr. Crawfordâ¦?â whispered Rey, gulping as he stared at all the giant scorpions around them. No matter how hard he tried, he couldnât see an opening for them to escape at all!
âStay calm! Iâm thinking!â replied Gerald as he continued looking around, hoping that it would help him devise an escape plan.
Thankfully, it wasnât long after before Gerald spotted a large door leading out of this area. With their escape route in his sight, Gerald quickly whispered, âRey, do you see that large door at your twelve oâclock?â
Turning to look in that direction, Rey then nodded before replying, âI do!â
âGood, now listen up. The plan is simple. You rush over to open that door while I distract the scorpions!
Got it?â explained Gerald.
âL-loud and clear!â replied Rey, knowing that that was their best bet of surviving this encounter.
Hearing that, Gerald then drew his Astrabyss Sword before pushing Rey with his other hand while yelling, âGood! Now golâ
As Rey nodded before bolting toward the large door, Gerald himself began channeling his energy into the Astrabyss Sword, allowing it to emit its spiritblade.
Watching as the scorpions backed off a bitâafter they saw the spiritbladeâ, Gerald took that chance to get a bit closer to Rey. He made sure to stick close enough to Rey to ensure that Rey wouldnât get sneak attacked by any hiding scorpionsâ¦
Thanks to the duoâs teamwork, they were able to get Rey to the large doorâ¦
To Reyâs dismay, however, no matter how hard he pushed, the door wouldnât budge! Then again, it wasnât really all that surprising. After all, the door was made of stone and it stood over thirty feet tall.
There was no way Rey was ever going to be able to open it! Understanding that, Rey yelled, âUmâ¦!
The doorâs too heavy for me to openâ¦!â
âAgain, stay calm. Iâm sure thereâs a mechanism to open it!â replied Gerald who currently had his eyes on the giant scorpions that were now charging toward him!
Seeing that, Rey knew that it was all up to him now. If he failed to find the mechanism, then this would be their end⦠Because of that, failure wasnât an option!
With that in mind, Rey quickly calmed himself before starting to search for the mechanism⦠and not long after, he found it!
The mechanism itself resembled a circular door handle, and after Rey pulled it, the large door instantly began shaking!
Taking a few steps back, Rey could only stare wide-eyed as the door finally swung open a few seconds later.
Delighted, Rey then yelled, âM-Mr. Crawford, come quick! The doorâs open!â
Hearing that, Gerald instantly turned to charge for the exit⦠and moments later, both of them found themselves staring at the large scorpionsâthat had now stopped in their tracksâfrom the other side of the giant doorâ¦
Shortly after, the scorpions began retreating, prompting the confused Rey to ask, ââ¦Huh? Theyâreâ¦
not chasing after usâ¦?â Staring as they scuttled off, Gerald simply replied, âIndeed⦠Iâm assuming that theyâre afraid of something in here!â
