Chapter 2373
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2373 âD-despite how dangerous our trip was, we actually managed to get hereâ¦! Congratulations, Patriarch!
Mr. Gerald!â exclaimed several of the overjoyed Zemans. After all, they were about to be part of the rare few who had ever entered Fyre Cave and located the saintly ruins!
âIndeed! If we manage to cross the Red River, weâll be the first to have achieved that feat! â declared Walter as he beamed with joy.
âHah! Iâm afraid thatâs easier said than done!â scoffed a familiar voice out of the blue!
Turning around, everyone âincluding Walter and Geraldâfound their eyes widening in shock as they watched an old man leap off the wall before casually landing on his feetâ¦
ââ¦R-Ryderâ¦?! Havenât I injured you heavily enough?! How dare you still enter Fyre Cave?! â growled Walter, his eyes twitching as he watched Ryder sit cross-legged before the river.
âHeh. Iâll admit that your Lonsdaleite Extermination Formation was surprisingly strong enough to damage my Triton qi. Iâll be needing at least a week to fully recover from that! Regardless, if youâre wondering how I made my way down here, allow me to remind you that getting to the saintly ruins has been my lifelong pursuit. With that in mind, Iâve come down here so many times throughout the decades that this place honestly feels like my backyard now!â scoffed Ryder with a smirk.
ââ¦So this isnât your first time down here eitherâ¦! â muttered Walter as he took a few steps back.
âBut of course! Why else would there be so few demons lingering about? Speaking of demons, thereâs one that kept evading me. The Corpse Demon Spider, I believe. Iâm sure Iâve bumped into it on several occasions, but the cunning thing kept managing to slip away! Since a few of you look quite hurt, Iâ m assuming you encountered it. Color me surprised that youâre all still alive. I guess you do have a bit of power in you after all!â scoffed Ryder with a laugh.
ââ¦With how familiar you are with this place, why donât you just head in? You donât even need the Zeman familyâs map!â said Gerald as both he and Walter began mobilizing their essential qi, fully prepared to enter combat at any moment.
âWhile I admit that youâre strong for your age, you only know very little about this world. Look, a great, ancient cultivator once set up a Septar Dipper Formation within the river. Because of it, Iâve been unable to cross the Red River, even after all these years! Every attempt I make simply leads to me almost dying! Regardless, Iâve waited this long since I know that the method of crossing the river is either written on the Zeman familyâs map, or has been memorized by Walter! â said Ryderâwho was still sitting cross-leggedâbefore going silent for a whileâ¦
After only a few breaths, the rosiness in his pale cheeks returned, instantly shocking both Gerald and Walter!
âY-You⦠Did you just fully restore your Triton qi But how?! â exclaimed Walter, sweating bullets a s he watched Ryder get to his feetâ¦
