The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1968
âWell, for one, my grandfather has died, and the Crawford family no longer exists⦠With that in mind, I should note that Iâm here on my own behalf and not on behalf of my family. As for why Iâm here, Iâd like to ask you something⦠Is it true that you know how to access the Autremonde Realmâ¦?â asked Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Christos momentarily went silent. Staring at Gerald for a while, the old man then asked in a cold tone, ââ¦So what if I do?â
âWell, if you do, Iâd like to learn more about that place. As for how I found out about the Autremonde Realm in the first place, I learned of its existence after reading about the realm in an old family notebook. The notebook also stated that youâve been there before!â replied Gerald.
âLook, Iâm sorry but I canât tell you anything about that place! If thereâs nothing else, then just leave already!â yelled Christos, firmly denying any form of help.
Hearing that, Gerald felt rather helpless. Even so, he could tell that Christos must have experienced something bad there⦠Why else would he be so against talking about the Autremonde Realm? Still, Gerald knew for a fact that forcing the old man to talk wouldnât do him any good.
With that in mind, since he already knew that doing things the hard way wouldnât get him anywhere, he may as well try using the soft way.
Following that thought, Gerald then left the grocery store⦠Though he returned soon after with several cans of beer as well as some food.
Hopefully, this would show Christos how sincere he wasâ¦
Fingers crossed that the old man would finally be willing to open up a little, Gerald then placed the beer and food before Christos.
Opening one of the beer cans and handing it to the old man, Gerald then said, âI know how powerful you are, senior Christos. With that in mind, I respect you a lot. Do have some beer and food and I hope youâll be willing to at least have a talk with me after that!â
With so many beer bottles lying around, it wasnât hard for Gerald to guess that the old man was pretty fond of drinking. It was probably to help Christos ease his painsâ¦
