The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1920
Once the men were out of sight, Rey then turned to look at Gerald as he asked, âSo⦠what now, Mr.
Crawford⦠?â
âWell, weâve already got what we wanted so letâs just return to the village. As for Tye and his men⦠I have a pretty good hunch that even if they do manage to find the tomb, they wonât be getting out alive!â
replied Gerald who had zero interest in the casket.
Gerald had made that bold claim for a reason. After thoroughly investigating the chamber, Gerald had gathered that there were several hidden traps in the tomb. What more, most of the traps appeared to be activated by touching different parts of the golden casket.
With that in mind, if Tye and his men insisted on opening the casket, they would surely end up triggering a deadly trap or ten, dying miserably in the processâ¦
Whatever the case was, Gerald and Rey then began making their way back to Moonbeam Villageâ¦
However, the second they got to the villageâs entrance, both of them froze in their tracks.
Strapped onto one of the village entranceâs stone pillars, was Stantonâs corpseâ¦! As if that wasnât already terrible enough, from where they stood, the two could already see the many dead bodies littered all over the placeâ¦!
Rey was the first to break the silence as he angrily growled, ââ¦Who⦠Who could have done thisâ¦?!
What the hell happened here?!â âIt was definitely Tye and his men. Those⦠Those utter b*stards are as inhumane as beastsâ¦!â replied Gerald, clenching his teeth as he tried his hardest to keep his cool.
From what Gerald could guess, Tye must have killed all of the villagers in order to locate him and Rey!
Only a beast like Tye could commit such a heinous actâ¦
Seeing that Gerald was clenching his fists so tightly that his veins looked like they were about to pop, Rey lowered his, his eyes fully reddened in rage as he growled, ââ¦What should we do now, Mr.
Crawford?â
Upon hearing that, Gerald found himself momentarily at a loss for words. After all, he and Rey were part of the reason why this tragic event happened in the first place, and knowing that brought endless amounts of guilt to Geraldâ¦
After thinking for a bit, Gerald eventually calmed himself enough to say, ââ¦We return to the chamber.
We need to avenge everyone hereâ¦!â
Rey naturally agreed with that plan, and the duo quickly began retracing their stepsâ¦
As they continued making their way to the tomb, Gerald swore that he was going to make Tye and his men pay.
While the earlier Gerald didnât really care if the casketâs traps killed that b*stard and his men, the current Gerald wasnât about to allow that to happen. In order to properly avenge the villagers, he was going to personally end them allâ¦! Regardless, since they already knew where they were going, their journey back to the cave was much swifter this timeâ¦
Moving back to Tye and his men, they had earlier managed to enter the cave. After messing around with the mechanisms on the back of the door, they were able to uncover the same hole that Gerald and Rey had fallen through.
âScore! Iâm sure the tomb is down there! Men! Start descending!â ordered Tye as his men obediently began sliding down the holeâ¦
