Ch. 1786..1790: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1786-1790
Chapter 1786
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1786
They had indeed watched the CCTV footage.
When the accident happened, there was no one and no other car around. Moreover, Old Flint was the only one in his car.
So, that meant that the situation when Old Flint had met with the accident was utterly bizarre.
In the footage, Old Flint’s car had simply skidded and rolled out of control on its own all of a sudden.
Gerald and Rey were only released in the afternoon.
They took a cab back to the office once they had left the Grand Council.
On the way back, Rey looked at Gerald with a very puzzled look and asked, “Gerald, what do you think of Old Flint’s death? How did he die?”
Gerald’s face was very grave. He was not sure about it either. However, he was sure that the incident was certainly not that simple.
“Does this mean Ember Lord is not dead yet?”
The next second, a bold idea came across Rey’s mind.
Gerald felt that the possibility of this speculation was very tiny. After all, Ember Lord had died before his eyes. How could he still be alive?
“Let’s go back first. Maybe it really was just an accident!”
Gerald told Rey.
Soon, they arrived back at the office.
“Gerald, Rey, you two are back! Are you alright?”
Seeing them return, Juno hurried forward and asked them in concern.
When they were taken away by the people from the Grand Council, it had really made Juno and Nori worry.
But now, seeing them return safe and sound, they were relieved.
“We’re fine. We just went there to help with the investigation!”
Gerald smiled gently and explained to Juno.
“By the way, did you guys find Ember Lord this time?”
Juno handed a glass of water over to Gerald and asked.
Gerald took the water and took a sip. He answered, “We found him, and I have killed him!”
Hearing this, Juno instantly felt relieved, seeing as the murderous monster had finally been exterminated.
“But what about Old Flint’s death? I saw the news just now, saying that his death was very strange. It doesn’t seem to be caused by a human?”
Immediately afterward, Juno got curious again and asked.
“I’m not sure about that. When we came back last night, Old Flint was still fine. Nothing special happened along the way.”
Gerald said with a gloomy face.
Everything that had happened made people feel rather uncomfortable.
“Sigh.”
Juno sighed heavily when she heard what Gerald had said.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Right at that moment, someone knocked at the door of the office.
“Rey, go and see who it is.”
When Gerald heard it, he told Rey to answer the door.
Rey stood up and walked to the door, only to see a delivery boy standing outside.
He opened the door and walked out.
“Hello, does Mr. Gerald Crawford live here? There’s a parcel for him!”
The delivery boy said to Rey with a smiling face.
“Yes.”
Rey replied immediately and signed for the parcel.
“Gerald, there’s a parcel for you!”
Rey told Gerald when he came back.
“A parcel for me?”
Gerald was puzzled when he heard him. He hadn’t bought anything. Why would he receive a parcel?
Chapter 1787
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1787
The parcel was a small square box.
Gerald shook the box gently, but there wasn’t any sound coming from the box.
“Let’s see who sent it to you!”
Juno, who was sitting at the side, reminded Gerald.
Gerald quickly checked the information on the sender. Apart from his name and address, there was no information about the sender.
Gerald and the others were baffled by what they were seeing. Who could have sent Gerald the parcel? What exactly was in the parcel?
Gerald was not in a rush to open the parcel. He felt that there was a problem with it. Maybe, it was a scheme.
“Back off, you guys!”
Gerald told his friends.
Upon hearing Gerald’s words, Rey and the girls stood up immediately and moved backward.
Gerald picked up a small knife and slashed the box open with extreme precision.
Once the box had been slashed, the lid popped open.
Gerald looked at the box carefully. After making sure it was safe, only then was he relieved, and he signaled his friends to come forward.
The three walked toward Gerald and stood beside him once more.
“Gerald, what exactly is in the box?”
Rey asked curiously.
Gerald put down the small knife. Then, he grabbed the box and opened it.
There was only a purple envelope in the box.
“It’s a purple envelope again!”
When Rey saw the envelope, he yelped in surprise.
The purple envelopes would keep on appearing when Ember Lord was still alive. Now that he was dead, they didn’t expect that it would appear again.
“Gerald, isn’t Ember Lord dead already? Why is this purple envelope appearing again?!”
Rey asked Gerald, looking at him in disbelief.
Gerald also cocked his eyebrows. He looked very serious.
He reckoned this incident was certainly not simple, as if everything had not ended yet.
“Come, let’s go to the courier company!”
Soon after, Gerald regained his senses and suggested to Rey.
Then, Gerald left the office with Rey and headed to the courier company. He wanted to know who had sent him the parcel.
After a short while, they arrived at the courier company.
Once they entered the office, Gerald started looking for the person-in-charge.
“Hello, may I know who sent me this parcel?”
Gerald handed the box to the person-in-charge and asked.
When the person-in-charge took the parcel, he said something that made Gerald and Rey dumbfounded.
“This courier box is not our company’s courier box, and the packaging is not either!” He said to the two.
“What? It’s not your company’s courier box? How can this be?! It was clearly delivered by a delivery boy from your company just now.”
Rey told the person-in-charge immediately.
Seeing as Gerald and Rey refused to believe him, the person-in-charge brought them into his office.
“Look. This is the standard courier box and packaging of our company. So, this box is really not from our company!”
The person-in-charge pointed at the boxes and explained to them.
Now, Gerald and Rey were completely perplexed.
If the parcel wasn’t from this company, where did it come from?
“Can I meet the delivery boy who sent us the box just now?”
Then, Gerald proposed to the person-in-charge.
“Sure, no problem!”
The person-in-charge was very helpful and agreed to it right away.
Soon, he called the delivery boy out for Gerald and Rey.
“Rey, is he the one?”

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1788
Gerald looked at the delivery boy and asked Rey.
“Yes, that’s right, Gerald. It was him who sent the parcel.”
Rey nodded firmly and said.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem, misters?”
The delivery boy standing in front of them asked in puzzlement, not knowing what was happening.
“Let me ask you. This parcel was delivered by you just now. Where did you get it from?”
Gerald stared at the delivery boy and questioned him.
The delivery boy took the box from Gerald and took a look.
“That’s right. It was me who delivered the parcel. I also wondered why there was only the receiver’s name and address on the parcel, and the packaging was different. I asked about it for almost a day, but no one bothered to answer me, so I could only deliver it according to the address!”
The delivery boy admitted that he was the one who had delivered the parcel, but he himself did not know who the sender was.
Upon hearing this, Gerald and Rey exchanged glances.
The investigation came to halt once more. The clue didn’t help them to find out the sender.
“Okay. Thanks for the trouble!”
Later, Gerald thanked the delivery boy and left with Rey.
“Gerald, do you think Ember Lord is truly dead?”
When they were in the car, Rey asked Gerald again.
“It’s impossible that he’s not. I witnessed his death with my own eyes. How could he still be alive?”
Gerald denied Rey’s speculation directly. He didn’t believe Ember Lord was still alive.
“Then, this…”
“Forget it. We’ll go back and see what’s written in the letter first.”
Left with no choice, Gerald could only choose to study the purple envelope first.
If Gerald had guessed it correctly, there should be numbers on the letter, just like the previous one.
When they got back to the office, Gerald immediately opened the purple envelope.
At the sight of it, Gerald was totally baffled. He had guessed it wrongly this time. There wasn’t any number on it, but a pattern of the Star of David.
“It’s a pattern? It’s not the same as before!”
Gerald exclaimed when he saw it, his face full of disbelief. It was indeed different this time.
Looking at the pattern of the Star of David, Gerald sank into contemplation.
Immediately afterward, Rey searched for information about the Star of David online.
“Gerald, this is all the information about the Star of David. You can take a look!”
Rey handed the tablet over to Gerald.
Gerald took the tablet and started reading when he heard that.
After reading for a while, Gerald’s face started turning dark.
And right at that moment, Gerald’s phone rang.
Gerald fished out his phone and found that it was an unknown number.
After hesitating for a while, he answered the call.
“Hello. Who’s this?”
Once the call was connected, Gerald asked the caller in a deep voice, only to hear a man’s sinister voice on the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Crawford, you should have received the present I sent you!”
When Gerald heard his voice, he frowned.
“Who are you?”
Gerald asked the man on the other end of the phone.
“Hehe, don’t be so nervous.! I’m just a nobody who wants to play a game with you!”
The man laughed wickedly and said to Gerald without telling Gerald his identity.
“Play a game? Hmph, I have no time to play with you. If you are trying to play a prank, sorry, you have the wrong person!”
Gerald snorted coldly when he heard what the man had said.

“Gerald, who was it?” Rey looked at Gerald and asked.
“I don’t know. It was a man. He was the one who sent the letter, and he told me that he wants to play a game with me. He’s nuts!” Gerald said helplessly.
What time was it already that he still wanted to play a game with him?! Gerald didn’t want to bother so much about this.
It had indeed made them a little anxious to the point that they had thought it was Ember Lord and he had not died.
As for the identity of this man, Gerald was uninterested to know about it.
After hearing what Gerald had said, the three did not ask any more questions. They felt that it might just be a prank.
However, everything was not as simple as Gerald had thought.
That day, Gerald brought Rey out to buy some groceries.
They had not been able to rest properly for a long time. So, they decided to buy some good food and cook a hearty meal together.
Gerald and Rey went to the supermarket. When they came out, both of them were carrying two big bags in their hands.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard.
The impact of the explosion was so strong that the entire surrounding was shaken. The glass of countless cars and shops was shattered by the explosion.
As for Gerald and Rey, they were thrown to the ground by the force. Everything in their hands scattered all over the place.
That’s right. A car not far away from them had exploded.
“Gerald, it’s our car!”
Rey realized something and looked at the car that had been blown up. Then, he shouted in shock at Gerald.
Gerald got up and went forward to take a look.
At the sight of it, sure enough, it was his car.
At that moment, the car had already been completely destroyed, still burning in the huge fire.
Soon after, people from the Grand Council and the firefighters came to the scene and started examining the car after putting out the fire.
And so, Gerald and Rey were invited to the Grand Council once again.
“After our investigation, we found that someone had installed a kind of fuse in your car. The firefighters found some fragments at the scene. It seems like your car was deliberately tampered with by somebody. Anyway, it’s fortunate that both of you were not in the car and escaped the catastrophe!”
An inspector came in with the documents and explained them to Gerald and Rey.
“Do you know who did this to you?” asked the inspector.
Gerald was startled for a while. Then, he replied, “No. Maybe it was just a prank.”
However, when Gerald said that, not only did the inspector not believe it, even Gerald himself and Rey did not believe it.
Nevertheless, Gerald didn’t want people from the Grand Council to get involved with this. It looked like this incident had something to do with the man who had called him last time.
Now, Gerald was enraged.
He didn’t expect that the man would dare to lay hands on him. Since that was the case, Gerald would definitely not let him go.
After that, Gerald and Rey completed the formalities and left the Grand Council, returning to their office by taking a cab.
Seeing the two come back intact, Juno’s heavy heart was lightened once more.
Upon receiving the news of the car explosion, they had been very scared and worried.
Ring! Ring!
Just then, Gerald’s mobile phone rang.
Gerald didn’t even have to guess. He already knew it must be the strange man calling.
He picked up the call right away.
“B*stard, what exactly do you want?! If I find you, I will kill you!”
Chapter 1790
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1790
Gerald cursed at the man angrily.
“Hehe, chill, Mr. Crawford. I was just joking with you. After all, it was you who did not want to play the game with me.”
The man laughed and replied in an eerie voice.
It was just a joke?!
It had been a big explosion, but this man had actually said that it was just a small joke. It was really driving Gerald crazy.
“What exactly do you want to play?”
Gerald calmed himself down and questioned the man over the phone.
“Hehe! Mr. Crawford, I know your ability, and I’m very impressed with your power. So, you are the only one who can play the game with me.
Do you still remember the purple letter? There’s a pattern of the Star of David on the paper.
The pattern represents each different area, and a different thing will happen in each of the areas. It may be a person or a thing, and everything depends on you to discover it yourself.
Right, since it’s a game, there must be a win and a loss.
If you win, I will give you the address to save a person so that you can go and save him. Of course, if you lose, the person can only die!”
The strange man explained the rules of the game to Gerald.
“You b*stard! What if I don’t agree with it?” Gerald shouted angrily again.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Crawford, perhaps you have felt the power of the explosion? If you don’t play with me, I can’t guarantee where the next explosion will happen.
And you will have to be responsible for the death of those people because you were the cause of their deaths!”
When the strange man heard what Gerald had said, he burst out laughing as he replied.
“Okay, Mr. Crawford. The decision is yours to make. There will be another letter for you tomorrow morning. You can decide whether you want to play with me or not!”
Then, the strange man reminded Gerald once more before hanging up the call. He didn’t give Gerald any chance to speak.
Gerald threw his mobile phone away angrily.
“Gerald, what does he want exactly?”
Rey asked, frowning.
“It looks like we have no choice but to play with him!”
Gerald had no other choice but to helplessly compromise.
Moreover, he still did not know the identity of the man. Therefore, he could only look for clues based on what he had told him.
From what he had said, Gerald was sure that the strange men had some hostages in his hands. If Gerald didn’t play the game, the hostages would be in danger. By then, Gerald would truly become a sinner.
That night, Gerald didn’t sleep, or to be more precise, he couldn’t sleep at all.
The next morning, Gerald went to the office alone.
The moment he arrived at the doorway, Gerald saw an envelope lying on the floor in front of the door. It was that familiar purple envelope again.
Gerald picked up the envelope right away. He opened the door and started reading the letter.
Once opened, there was a paper with only one sentence written on it.
‘Water flies straight down three thousand feet.’
Seeing this phrase, Gerald fell into confusion.
Wasn’t it a phrase from a classical poem?
What did he mean by this?
What was the hidden message behind this?
Soon after, Gerald turned on his computer and started searching for information about the phrase of the poem.
However, Gerald couldn’t figure out the meaning of this phrase in the poem at all.
Ding!
Right then, Gerald’s phone rang.
Gerald took it out immediately and saw a news message.
