The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1921
Since Gerald and Rey had earlier dismantled all the traps leading to the chamber, Tye and his men had little trouble getting to the tomb, and upon seeing the casket for the first time, Tye instantly went giddy with excitement.
Laughing triumphantly, Tyeâs eyes glinted greedily as he ran toward the casket while yelling, âIâve finally found you! After all this time!â
Seeing how delighted Tye was, one of his confused men couldnât help but ask, âUm⦠Whose tomb is this, Charman Lamanoâ¦?â
âHmm? This is the tomb of a great general of the ancient country of Zanekh! While there are countless treasures in this tomb, the most priceless one can be found in this very casket! Based on the rumors Iâve heard, thereâs a ten-thousand-year-old pearl in there thatâs capable of preserving a body for eternity!â explained Tye as his hand caressed the golden casket. âR-really? Thatâs one hell of a treasure then!â exclaimed the man who had asked.
âYou bet it is! Now enough talk! Hurry and get me the casket-opening tools we brought along!â ordered Tye, prompting his men to do as he instructed.
Tye himself had been very specific when selecting the tools since he wanted the process of opening the casket to be perfect.
Still, Tye couldnât help but feel surprised that Gerald and Rey had left the casket alone despite successfully making their way hereâ¦
Whatever the case was, everything got set up quickly and before long, the casket was finally ready to be openedâ¦!
Before Tye could order for it to be opened, however, a voice suddenly roared out, âDonât you dare open itlâ
As the words echoed across the chamberâs walls, Tye turned to glare at the source of the voice⦠and of course, the voice belonged to Gerald.
âGerald Crawfordâ¦!â growled Tye, his voice brimming with hatred. After all, he hadnât forgotten that Gerald had stolen his map! âTye Lamano! Youâd best not open Taliasâs casket! While what you want may be inside, I assure you that youâll definitely come to regret letting whateverâs in there out!â sneered Gerald.
Despite the clear warning from Gerald, Tyeâs hatred and urge to kill Gerald had completely blinded the man.
With that in mind, Tye simply retorted, âLike I care! Also, donât even dream about leaving this place alive! Youâre meeting your maker today if itâs the last thing I do!â
âYou dare threaten me after killing everyone in Moonbeam Village? Are you even human anymore, you b*stard?!â scowled Gerald, his wrath growing by the second.
Laughing mockingly, Tye simply scoffed, âSo what if I killed them? Though to be honest, if anyoneâs to blame for their deaths, it should be you! Hah!â
Hearing how unremorseful Tye was being, Geraldâs rage skyrocketed as he glared at Tye while yelling, âYou⦠Youâll pay for all thisâ¦!â
While Gerald already saw Tye as a dead man, Tye himself simply thought that Gerald was talking big.
After all, Tye clearly had the upper hand in terms of manpower.
With that, he chose to ignore Gerald as he declared, âEnough! Men, open the casket!â
