The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1926
While Rey was jovial, Geraldâon the other handâhadnât even budged from his initial spot, a grave expression on his faceâ¦
â
Seeing that Gerald appeared deep in thought, Juno cleared her throat before asking, ââ¦Is⦠something wrong, Geraldâ¦? Is the food not to your likingâ¦?â
Upon hearing that, Gerald quickly snapped out of it before replying, ââ¦Huh? Oh, no, I was just thinking about something!â
With that said, Gerald then took a seat by the dining table and began eating as wellâ¦
Even so, all Gerald ate was a bowl of rice before getting up and leaving for the living roomâ¦
In a typical situation, that would immediately signify that there was going to be a lot of leftovers.
However, Rey wasnât a typical person. His appetite was voracious, and in the end, he finished up most of the dishes without any trouble!
Regardless, now that dinner was over, the trio joined Gerald in the living room to start talking things out.
Juno was the first to break the silence as she asked, âUm⦠Gerald⦠Whatâs bothering youâ¦? You havenât looked great ever since you returned.â
âIâm worried about Tye. Long story short, he managed to turn into a half-phantom like me, and the worst thing is that I donât even know where heâs currently run off to!â explained Gerald.
âDonât worry, Gerald! Iâm sure weâll be able to finish him off soon!â replied Juno, knowing that verbally supporting him was the only way she could help at the momentâ¦
It was at that moment when a black figure descended from the night sky before slipping into the Sun Groupâs massive building⦠Of course, who else could it be but Tye Lamanoâ¦
After leaving the forest and returning to the city, Tye had waited till night before finally daring to step foot into his company again. After all, he didnât want to risk getting seen by others in broad daylight.
Whatever the case was, after returning to his office, Tye immediately got a bottle of wine from his cabinet before taking a few sips of itâ¦
Shortly after, however, a voice from outside suddenly called out, âWho goes there?â
Before Tye could even turn around, a security guard had already pushed the door open and walked in.
Noticing the black figure, the security guard instantly shone his flashlight at Tyeâs back while asking in an intimidating tone, âWho are you? Who let you in here?â
From that statement alone, it was evident that the guard had no idea that he was talking to Tye. Not that it mattered to Tye as he slowly turned around to reveal his true faceâ¦
Upon realizing who it was, the guardâs eyes widened in shock. Before he could even say a word, however, Tye momentarily disappeared before reappearing right in front of him!
Squeezing the guardâs neck with a single hand, Tye watched as the guardâs face turned increasingly red. Unable to breathe, the guardâs eyes soon went white, showing just how much pain he was in.
Regardless, after the guardâs flashlight fell to the floor, Tye took the chance to release a black mist from his mouth⦠that quickly slithered into the guardâs mouth!
The second that happened, the guardâs body immediately began convulsing violently as his face turned fully paleâ¦! Within seconds, the guardâs body moved no moreâ¦
Not only had Tye absorbed all of the guardâs energy, but he had also consumed his soul!
With that done, the immense damage he had sustained from the Astrabyss Sword was finally cured, allowing Tye to feel refreshed again⦠As it turned out, Tye was now capable of draining human souls and energyâ¦!
Staring at the flashlight on the ground, Tye stomped it to pieces in a single stepâ¦
