The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1917
Looking at Geraldâs raised eyebrow, Rey couldnât help but ask, âIs⦠something wrong, Mr.
Crawfordâ¦? Did you find somethingâ¦?â
âSee that symbol there? I feel like Iâve seen it somewhere beforeâ¦â muttered Gerald as he continued flipping through his memoriesâ¦
Sometime later, he suddenly yelled, âI remember now!â
Following that, Gerald fished the map out before quickly scanning through it.
Raising a slight brow, Rey then inched closer to look at the map as well⦠and when he finally realized that the exact symbolâon the casketâcould be found on the map, Rey immediately exclaimed, ââ¦
Holy, is that⦠Then⦠Instead of going after the treasure, Tye was trying to locate this tomb this entire timeâ¦?!â
âIâm guessing so!â replied Gerald with a nod, finally a hundred percent sure that Tye was up to no good.
But what was he scheming�
As Gerald was wondering about that, Tye and his men finally made it to Moonbeam Villageâ¦
Despite Gerald taking pity on them and allowing them to live, Tye wasnât about to give up on his goals that easily. Still, without the map, Tye and his men had remained lost in the mountainâs forests for agesâ¦
Regardless, upon attempting to step foot into the village, Stantonâwho just so happened to see them âimmediately rushed over before asking, âAnd who might all of you be?â
As more of the villagers ran over to stand behind Stanton, they knew why he was being so vigilant.
After all, Tye and his men looked incredibly suspiciousâ¦
Raising a slight brow, Tye then glared at the old man before replying in an annoyed tone, âThat isnât important. Regardless, have you recently come across three individuals dressed like us?â
Stanton was no idiot. From Tyeâs expression alone, he could already tell that the man wasnât a good person. With that, he simply shook his head as he replied, ââ¦Iâm afraid not! Itâs been ages since anyone from the outside world came to our village! Speaking of the outside world, how did all of you get here?â
Upon hearing that, Tye squinted his eyes at the chief, wondering if the old man was telling the truthâ¦
Unfortunately, at that very moment, a young woman came jogging toward Stanton while yelling, âThe mealâs ready, chief! Have the three wise men returned yet?â
While Stanton was surprised to hear that statement, Tye and his men immediately frowned. Now fully aware that Stanton had lied to them, Tye then yelled, âHow dare you lie to me, old man!â
Stanton himself was at a loss for words. That young woman truly had arrived at the worst possible timeâ¦
Seeing that Stanton wasnât keen on replying, Tye then grabbed the old man by his collar before roaring, âEnough games! Where the hell are those three!â
It was clear by now that Tyeâs hatred for Gerald was beyond words⦠Tye himself had even sworn to show Gerald no mercy the next time they bumped into him.
Whatever the case was, Stanton hardly even flinched at Tyeâs attempt at intimidating him. Instead, the old man simply replied, âHow should I know? They simply left without telling us where they were headed to!â
âAre you honestly still lying to me? Donât blame me for being ruthless then!â scowled Tye with a snort, his gut telling him that Gerald and his party were well acquainted with Stanton. After all, why else would the old man lie about something like this?
Following that, Tye ordered his men to gather all the villagers. Once that was done, Tye also instructed them to tie Stanton to the pillar at the villageâs entranceâ¦
âIâm going to ask one final time⦠Tell me where they went!â shouted Tye, believing that the old man would finally spill the beans now.
ââve already told you, I donât know!â
