The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1923
Regardless, once he was done laughing, Tye used all his strength to lift the lid off the casket!
Though Gerald immediately leaped forward and kicked Tye into the air after seeing that, the deed had been done. With the casket now open, the entire chamber began shaking violently, sending debrisâ
from the ceilingâfalling everywhereâ¦!
Even so, Geraldâs attention was currently on more worrying things, like the black mist that had just flown out the golden casket! Just as Gerald had predicted, there was something extremely dangerous within that casket!
Whatever the case was, things were looking bad.
With that in mind, Gerald immediately retreated from the chamber and reunited with Rey who had been hiding at a blind spot right outside the chamber.
Upon seeing Gerald, Rey quickly asked, âW-what should we do now, Mr. Crawford⦠?!â
âRun, of course! We need to get out of here!â yelled Gerald as he grabbed Reyâs arm before yanking him toward the exit.
Though escaping this place unscathed was his priority, Gerald made sure to take a few glances behind him as the duo ran on⦠While the black mist didnât go after Gerald or Rey, it completely surrounded Tye and his men! From the looks of it, the mist appeared to be rapidly draining Tyeâs menâs life forces!
Though that may sound horrible, it was nothing compared to the agony Tye was probably feeling.
After all, in that brief moment Gerald caught sight of Tye, he saw that the black mist had pierced right through the back of Tyeâs head⦠and it was currently protruding out of his mouth! What a truly terrifying way to dieâ¦
Still, Gerald made sure to remind himself that it was none of his businessâ¦
Soon after, Gerald and Rey safely made it out of the exit. Before even thinking of leaving, however, the duo made sure to properly seal the entrance up so that the black mist wouldnât be able to escapeâ¦
Once that was out of the way, both of them sat on the ground, exhausted.
Rey himself was panting much heavier than Gerald was. After all, he was still new to witnessing such dangerous chains of events, and all this happening within a tomb certainly didnât help!
Whatever the case was, there was a silver lining to all this. After all, Tye and his men had received the retribution they deservedâ¦
The only regret Gerald had was that he wasnât able to kill that devil of a man with his own handsâ¦
Regardless, after catching their breaths, Gerald turned to look at Rey before saying, ââ¦Alright, now that all this is done, letâs return to the village. We need to give the villagers a proper burial!â
After Rey nodded in agreement, the two then began walking back to Moonbeam Village⦠Upon arriving, both of them immediately got to work burying Stanton and the rest of the villagers⦠While they were at it, they made sure to clean up the mess Tye and his men had made as well.
To think that Moonbeam Village would no longer exist from this day onwardâ¦
Though it was saddening, Gerald and Rey knew that there was not much else they could do. With that, once they were done with everything, they packed their things up and prepared to leaveâ¦
However, just as they were about to leave the village, a black figure suddenly bolted out of the forest and yelled, âItâs time to meet your end, Gerald!â
Instantly recognizing Tyeâs voice, the two were rightfully startled that he was still alive! What more, he appeared much more vicious compared to before!
However, the second Gerald snapped out of it, he couldnât help but raise a slight brow. From the looks of it, Tyeâs entire body was now covered in unnerving-looking black bumpsâ¦
âSo, youâre still alive, huh?â replied Gerald as he scanned Tyeâs new body from head to toe.
Laughing aloud, Tye then sneered, âI bet you didnât expect this, huh? Just so you know, Iâm now stronger than ever! After all, the soul of that Zanekh general is now within me! With that in mind, of course I wouldnât die that easily! Regardless, I have big plans to conquer the world and establish my own empire⦠but before any of that, Iâll be starting small by finally ending both of your lives!â
