After a short while, Garren walked out with a tag and handed it to Ray directly.
“What’s this?”
Ray received the tag, and he asked in doubt all of a sudden.
“This…”
“This is the token of Ghost King, right?”
Without waiting for an explanation from Garren, Gerald directly revealed the name of the tag in Ray’s hand.
“That’s right. It’s the token of Ghost King, and it’s also the thing on a ghost’s body. With this, your disciple can have free access to Ghost Sect. It’s fine even if the effect of the medicine has subsided!”
Garren looked at Ray and Gerald as he explained.
Hearing that, both Gerald and Ray were very joyful. Unexpectedly, Garren actually owned such an item!
“Thank you, Boss Henry!”
Ray immediately expressed his gratitude toward Garren.
“Alright, it should be dawn soon. The large entrance of the spiritual world is about to be closed. I also need to pack up and leave this place!”
Garren looked at the time immediately after that. He found that it was almost early morning, so he immediately reminded both Gerald and Ray.
“Hmm, fine. Boss Henry, we’ll leave first, then!”
Gerald also stood up and said to Garren.
After bidding each other goodbye, Gerald brought Ray along and left the Ghost Sect directly.
By the time they went out of the large entrance of the Ghost Sect, the sky outside had turned white, just like the belly of a fish. It meant that it would soon be morning. The large entrance of the Ghost Sect was about to be closed.
“Huh!
“The fresh air is so good. It’s indeed very comfortable!”
The moment he came out, Ray looked up at the sky and sighed emotionally in a loud voice.
At that moment, the waterfall behind them was restored, and there were countless splashes of water, symbolizing that the large entrance of Ghost Sect had been officially closed.
“Gerald, I have a classmate party tonight. Can you come with me?”
In that instant, Juno suggested to Gerald.
“What time is it?”
“Seven o’clock!”
“Fine, no problem!”
Gerald chatted with Juno casually before he agreed to do so.
Since it was Juno’s classmate party, Gerald certainly needed to keep her company and go with her.
Hearing that Gerald had promised to go, Juno also revealed a delighted smile.
At night.
Gerald drove a car and went to her classmate’s party with her.
In Treka City. In Royal Grand Hotel.
“Juno, it seems like your classmates are quite rich.”
Gerald smiled and looked at Juno, teasing her.
Juno also smiled lightly and responded, “It’s been a long time since I’ve met them. They sent me an invitation card this time around, and that’s why I know of such a classmate party!”
After she had said that, Gerald parked the car promptly. Then, he brought Juno into the hotel.
“Juno!”
At that moment, they heard a call from behind them.
Both of them immediately turned around and took a look. It was a woman in a long purple dress. She was walking toward them with a gentle smile.
“Ruth!”
Juno suddenly squealed.
After simply exchanging pleasantries with each other, the three of them immediately went upstairs.
The classmate party was held in a large banquet hall.
“I heard that this classmate party is organized by the class monitor alone. It seems like a lot of money was spent!”
As Juno and Ruth Gurvell were walking, they chatted with each other.

The three of them opened the door of the banquet hall and walked into the hall.
As soon as Juno and Ruth had entered the venue, they soon attracted all of the people’s attention in the hall.
“Miss Zorn, the beauty is here!”
Suddenly, a man’s excited voice was heard.
A man in a blue suit walked over hurriedly immediately after that. He came to stand before Gerald and the two ladies.
“Juno, finally you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you!”
The man in the blue suit was full of smiles as he looked at Juno and greeted her. His eyes were filled with fervent joy.
That person was Juno’s class monitor in university, and his name was Xanry Quirke.
“Ha! Ha! Monitor, you’ve exaggerated it. The classmate party would still be lively even without me.”
Juno smiled faintly and said.
Looking at Xanry before her made Juno feel that he was just as annoying as he used to be in the past.
The main thing was Xanry always addressed her as Juno, and it made her uncomfortable when she heard that. After all, she did not have a very close relationship with Xanry, and they were not considered particularly familiar with each other.
However, since there were so many people there, Juno had no way to say much. They were classmates, and it was unnecessary to humiliate others.
“Alas! Juno, you’re wrong. If you didn’t come, what’s the fun of our classmate party?”
Xanry immediately grabbed the chance to say this to Juno.
Standing at the side, Gerald observed Xanry. He felt that Xanry was extremely good at pretending.
In truth, Gerald had already seen through Xanry’s inner thoughts. Xanry just wanted to obtain Juno.
Unfortunately for him, Gerald was not about to give him that chance.
“Juno, is he the class monitor you mentioned before?”
Gerald deliberately walked forward and hugged Juno, asking her with a faint smile. He just wanted to do that purposely in front of Xanry to let the latter know that Juno belonged to him.
Seeing Gerald putting on such an act, Juno was not surprised. On the contrary, she felt warm inwardly with a deep sense of security.
“Hmm. That’s right. He’s my class monitor—Xanry Quirke!”
Juno looked obedient and charming, leaning close to Gerald’s shoulder as she replied to him.
Seeing this, Xanry was stunned all of a sudden. He totally did not expect that there would be such a scene.
“Juno… This is?”
After a pause, Xanry asked Juno slightly awkwardly.
Without waiting for Juno to say anything, Gerald looked at Xanry with a smile as he greeted him, “Monitor, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I’m Juno’s boyfriend, and my name is Gerald Crawford!”
Hearing that, Xanry’s heart skipped a beat instantly.
It had never occurred to him that Juno had a boyfriend. It was even beyond his expectation that Juno would actually bring her boyfriend along to join the classmate party.
Putting Xanry aside, the other classmates who were around also revealed shocked expressions one after another.
They knew for a fact how madly Xanry had tried to gain Juno’s affections in the past. However, he was always rejected by Juno.
Yet now, Juno actually had a boyfriend. That would indeed make them feel shocked and incredulous. They wondered what kind of person Gerald was since he was actually able to gain Juno’s affections.
At that moment, Xanry was very annoyed inwardly, but he could not express that. Therefore, he could only pretend to be fine.
“Hello, nice to meet you!”
Xanry revealed a smile as he greeted Gerald.
The classmate party officially started immediately after that.

Everyone took their seats one after another, sitting at the dining table as they ate and chatted among themselves.
Naturally, both Gerald and Juno sat at the same dining table with Ruth. Of course Xanry was there too.
“Come, Mr. Crawford! Let me toast to you!”
At that moment, Xanry took the initiative to stand up, holding the wine glass. He then smiled faintly at Gerald, toasted to him, and said.
Seeing that, Gerald also cordially stood up as he toasted Xanry, “Ha! Ha! Thank you, monitor!”
After he had said that, both of them gulped down the entire glass of wine at the same time.
“Ha! Ha! Mr. Crawford, you’re quite good at drinking. It seems that you must have always drunk a lot!”
When Xanry saw Gerald gulp down the glass of wine in such a frank and straightforward manner, he smiled and teased Gerald.
“There’s no such thing. I don’t drink wine usually. I only have a glass or two. Honestly, I’m not good at drinking!”
Gerald responded to Xanry in a very humble manner.
Gerald could discern that Xanry was sounding him out. However, since Xanry wanted to sound him out, he certainly had to put on an act to conform to Xanry’s action. He wanted to see what exactly Xanry wanted to do.
“If that’s the case, Mr. Crawford, you need to drink more today. After all, you’re Juno’s boyfriend. You must be extraordinary since you were able to become Juno’s boyfriend. I wonder what kind of high post you have now.”
Xanry then started asking Gerald.
Hearing that, one soon knew that Xanry had certainly started to compare himself with Gerald in an offensive manner. It seemed as though Xanry wanted to retrieve a little bit of confidence and advantage in other aspects of Gerald.
Still, no matter what Xanry wanted to do, it was to no avail. It was because Gerald felt that Xanry could never be compared with him. Xanry was entirely not on par with him.
“Ha! Ha! Monitor, you’re joking. I’m not worthy of a high post, and I’m just doing a small business myself.”
Gerald smiled very calmly as he looked at Xanry and responded.
Hearing that, Xanry was deeply happy inwardly. He was wondering what kind of job Gerald had, but Gerald had absolutely no way to be compared to him.
“Mr. Crawford, you’re very humble. Come, Mr. Crawford. Let’s have another glass of wine!” Xanry lifted his wine glass again and toasted Gerald, saying such words. He wanted to make Gerald drunk.
Gerald certainly would not let Xanry have his way. It was because Xanry could never imagine how good at drinking Gerald was.
Soon, the first stage of the classmate party was over.
After the meal, the subsequent activity was certainly the amusement activities.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve booked the entertainment hall upstairs. Do go upstairs and have fun. I’ll pay for all expenses tonight!”
Xanry then shouted at the surrounding classmates in a loud voice.
Hearing that, the surrounding classmates cheered and whooped loudly one after another. It made Xanry feel very good, and he felt that he had everyone’s attention at that moment.
After that, they went to the entertainment hall upstairs.
Meanwhile, Gerald sat on the sofa at the side with Juno and Ruth.
“Juno, your class monitor is very generous.”
After they had sat down, Gerald inevitably made a sarcastic joke and said to Juno.
Quite frankly, Gerald’s words were filled with ridicule. In truth, he knew that Xanry just wanted to show himself off by doing so, making himself the center of attraction. Xanry wanted everyone to think that he was very successful.
After Juno heard that, she said nothing. She was uninterested in anything related to Xanry. Just then, they saw Xanry walking toward them.
“Mr. Crawford, it turns out that you’re here. Why are you sitting here? Do you want to go and play bowling with me?”
Xanry walked over to Gerald and suggested, full of smiles.
Chapter 1739

“Bowling? Alas! I truly have never played it before.”
After Gerald heard that, he pretended to reply in doubt.
Since he wanted to put on an act, he certainly needed to go through with it. He wanted to have fun with Xanry properly.
“It’s fine. Let me teach you. Come! Let’s go and have fun!”
After Xanry heard that, he was not doubtful at all. He cheerfully said this to Gerald.
“Alright, then. I’ll go and have fun with you!”
Gerald directly agreed to do so. After that, he looked toward Juno.
“Juno, I’ll go and play bowling for a while. Just have a chat here!”
After Juno heard that, she naturally had no objection. She knew that Gerald certainly had his own thoughts. Naturally, she would not stop him. She could only remark that it was not a good choice for Xanry to look for trouble with Gerald. Till then, Xanry would definitely regret it.
Soon Gerald had arrived at the bowling alley with Xanry.
Both Xanry and Gerald occupied a lane respectively.
“Come, Mr. Crawford. I’ll teach you how to play this game. Just observe me!”
Xanry smiled and said to Gerald. After that, he picked up a bowling ball and held it in his hand.
Xanry walked forward and then exerted himself, pulling the bowling ball in his hand backward before throwing it forward.
The bowling ball soon started rolling in the lane.
Bang!
With that one shot, the pins were hit directly.
Xanry’s shot directly knocked down all of the pins. Seeing that, Gerald knew that Xanry clearly had considerable experience with bowling. Besides, he was also a person with very powerful strength.
It seemed like Xanry had deliberately asked him to play bowling together just for the sake of bullying him.
But Xanry had assumed that Gerald was too weak.
Unbeknownst to him, Gerald had played bowling before. Not only that, but he also had a lot of experience.
Gerald had deliberately claimed that he did not know how to play bowling just so Xanry would not see through his act. It was all for the sake of exposing Xanry’s true colors.
Since Xanry wanted to play this game, Gerald would play with him properly.
“Come, Mr. Crawford. Give it a try!”
At that moment, Xanry picked up a bowling ball and handed it to Gerald before saying that.
Gerald received the bowling ball and walked forward, pretending to be unfamiliar with it. He did the same action as Xanry had done before. He then threw the bowling ball in his hand forward.
However, Gerald purposely threw it in an askew manner, and he did not hit a single pin.
“Ha! Ha! Ha!”
When Xanry saw that Gerald had failed to hit the pins, he soon burst into a roar of loud laughter all of a sudden.
“Mr. Crawford, it seems like you need to practice more. It’ll be fine after you practice a few times!”
Xanry pretended to be kind and reminded Gerald.
Gerald also did not bother about him. Instead, he continued to pick up another bowling ball and purposely practiced his skills.
Xanry was indeed stupid, for he had not seen through anything. He had absolutely not found out that Gerald was actually pretending.
If it was someone else who was professional, Gerald was afraid that they would have long seen through it and found that he definitely knew how to play bowling. After a short while, Xanry looked toward Gerald again.
“Mr. Crawford, I see that you’ve practiced for so long. Why don’t we have a competition? Let’s have a round, shall we?”
Xanry suggested to Gerald.
Gerald knew that Xanry was about to start, and his true colors were about to be exposed.
As expected, that was Xanry’s purpose. Xanry wanted to compete with Gerald and bully him fiercely in order to humiliate him.
Gerald had seen through everything, but he was unwilling to point that out.
Certainly, Gerald was not the kind of person who would not conform to that.
“Sure!”
Gerald directly agreed to do so.
Chapter 1740
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1740
“How about this? We definitely need something at stake for a competition, right? What do you think about 150 dollars for a round?”
At that moment, Xanry looked toward Gerald and suggested to him. He had long planned a small scheme in his heart.
Gerald sneered inwardly. It seemed like Xanry was mad about money. He actually wanted 150 dollars for one round of bowling.
“Sure, no problem!”
After a pause, Gerald directly agreed to do so.
After all, money was nothing to Gerald. Besides, it was uncertain that he would lose terribly. Everything was in his control.
“Monitor, don’t bully Juno’s boyfriend in such a terrible manner. If not, Juno will get angry!”
In that instant, a male classmate who was sitting at the side watching another’s misfortune teased Xanry. His tone was filled with ridicule for Gerald.
Gerald also did not care about those people. After all, everything would be known later. Gerald would humiliate them vehemently, giving every one of them a soundless slap.
They wanted to bully him, but they did not cut the coat according to their clothes. Was it that easy to bully him?
“Come on! Mr. Crawford, we’ll take turns. Let’s see who has the highest score at the end!”
Xanry immediately described the rules to Gerald. He was rather impatient to bully Gerald vigorously.
Gerald nodded slightly without saying anything.
Soon, the machine had placed the pins nicely, and the competition started.
Xanry was the first to begin. He took a bowling ball, directly making a perfect arc in the air before the ball fell on the floor and rolled out.
After he threw the ball, he did not even spare it a glance. He was filled with confidence.
Bang! There was the crisp sound of a crash.
During the first round, Xanry had hit all of the pins, gaining ten points.
There were a total of ten pins, and one point would be rewarded for knocking down a pin.
“Wow!”
“Monitor, you’re so awesome!”
“That’s right! Monitor is just too handsome!”
Seeing that Xanry had knocked down all of the pins, the surrounding classmates cheered one after another, all of them praising him.
For a moment, Xanry was wallowing in the enjoyment of pleasure.
Next, it was Gerald’s turn. He got up and picked up a bowling ball. Gerald certainly would not directly show his true strength during that round. It was because the time had not come.
Hence, Gerald had to purposely fail to hit the pins no matter what.
After he had thought it over, he threw the ball out randomly. The bowling ball rolled in the lane swiftly before rolling out of the lane. The result was invalid, and he gained no points for that round.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
That scene soon made everyone around that place burst into roars of laughter, and they thought that Gerald was just too weak.
However, Gerald did not bother about those people.
Gerald had done that on purpose, so he let them mock him all they wanted.
The more they mocked him now, the deeper the humiliation they would suffer later.
“Hmm… Mr. Crawford, it’s fine. Everyone makes mistakes!”
Xanry purposely endured it and refrained from laughing. He looked at Gerald and consoled him.
After that, as he was talking, he picked up the bowling ball. He started to throw the ball for the second round of the game. The machine had just reset the pins nicely. The second round of the game had begun.
It was the same as before, and Xanry decisively threw out the bowling ball in his hand.
The bowling ball rolled on the lane, rolling toward the pins quickly.
Bang!
It hit the pins successfully.
However, the second round was not as smooth as the first round, and Xanry only knocked down seven pins, gaining seven points.
Actually, Xanry had done that purposely. He deliberately went easy on Gerald. If not, he would be deemed too cruel. Besides, Gerald was Juno’s boyfriend no matter what. He did not want Juno to get angry at him later, thinking that he was entirely bullying Gerald.
