Ch. 1921..1925: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1921-1925

Chapter 1921

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1921 Since Gerald and Rey had earlier dismantled all the traps leading to the chamber, Tye and his men had little trouble getting to the tomb, and upon seeing the casket for the first time, Tye instantly went giddy with excitement.

Laughing triumphantly, Tye’s eyes glinted greedily as he ran toward the casket while yelling, “I’ve finally found you! After all this time!”

Seeing how delighted Tye was, one of his confused men couldn’t help but ask, “Um… Whose tomb is this, Charman Lamano…?”

“Hmm? This is the tomb of a great general of the ancient country of Zanekh! While there are countless treasures in this tomb, the most priceless one can be found in this very casket! Based on the rumors I’ve heard, there’s a ten-thousand-year-old pearl in there that’s capable of preserving a body for eternity!” explained Tye as his hand caressed the golden casket. “R-really? That’s one hell of a treasure then!” exclaimed the man who had asked.

“You bet it is! Now enough talk! Hurry and get me the casket-opening tools we brought along!” ordered Tye, prompting his men to do as he instructed.

Tye himself had been very specific when selecting the tools since he wanted the process of opening the casket to be perfect.

Still, Tye couldn’t help but feel surprised that Gerald and Rey had left the casket alone despite successfully making their way here…

Whatever the case was, everything got set up quickly and before long, the casket was finally ready to be opened…!

Before Tye could order for it to be opened, however, a voice suddenly roared out, “Don’t you dare open itl”

As the words echoed across the chamber’s walls, Tye turned to glare at the source of the voice… and of course, the voice belonged to Gerald.

“Gerald Crawford…!” growled Tye, his voice brimming with hatred. After all, he hadn’t forgotten that Gerald had stolen his map! “Tye Lamano! You’d best not open Talias’s casket! While what you want may be inside, I assure you that you’ll definitely come to regret letting whatever’s in there out!” sneered Gerald.

Despite the clear warning from Gerald, Tye’s hatred and urge to kill Gerald had completely blinded the man.

With that in mind, Tye simply retorted, “Like I care! Also, don’t even dream about leaving this place alive! You’re meeting your maker today if it’s the last thing I do!”

“You dare threaten me after killing everyone in Moonbeam Village? Are you even human anymore, you b*stard?!” scowled Gerald, his wrath growing by the second.

Laughing mockingly, Tye simply scoffed, “So what if I killed them? Though to be honest, if anyone’s to blame for their deaths, it should be you! Hah!”

Hearing how unremorseful Tye was being, Gerald’s rage skyrocketed as he glared at Tye while yelling, “You… You’ll pay for all this…!”

While Gerald already saw Tye as a dead man, Tye himself simply thought that Gerald was talking big. After all, Tye clearly had the upper hand in terms of manpower.

With that, he chose to ignore Gerald as he declared, “Enough! Men, open the casket!”

Chapter 1922

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1922 Nobody was going to get in his way of opening the casket, not even Gerald!

“You’re a dead man, Tye!” roared Gerald as he bolted toward the evil man.

“Stop him!” yelled Tye as several of his men quickly stood before Gerald, blocking him from reaching Tye!

However, Gerald wasn’t in the mood to waste time with these buffoons. Swiftly attacking them, all he needed was a single hand to send all of the men flying!

Seeing that, Tye’s other men immediately took action as well.

Tye himself was too busy prying the casket open—along with three other men—to even bother about Gerald. In his mind, getting the casket open was his top priority…

Regardless, Tye’s men were naturally no match against Gerald, and he easily pummelled them to the ground.

Upon hearing his men’s agonized screams, Tye was finally forced to look away from the casket.

Realizing that the rest of his men were too injured to even get up anymore, Tye’s eyes could only widen as Gerald began coming for him next!

Since the only men he had left were the three who were currently helping him open the casket, Tye gritted his teeth as he yelled, “You three! Go stop him!” Doing as Tye instructed, the three men immediately charged toward Gerald… Only to find themselves getting slapped so hard they were instantly knocked out!

Eyes now fully widened, Tye knew that he wasn’t going to be able to take on Gerald alone. With that in mind, he pointed at Gerald before shouting, “You… Don’t you dare take a step further! An inch closer and I’ll open the casket! We’ll surely die together then!”

Hearing that, Gerald stopped in his tracks before glaring back at Tye as he retorted, “Do you honestly think that’ll stop me from ending you? I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. You’re paying the price for massacring all the villagers in Moonbeam Village.”

Once Gerald had his mind set on killing someone, nobody would be able to stop him from doing the deed. Gerald, for one, knew that if he didn’t kill Tye today, then the current resentment in his heart would never truly go away. Revenge needed to be taken for Stanton and the villagers…!

“Hah! Had you not stolen my map, I wouldn’t have had to kill them in the first place! With that in mind, you’re the true reason why they’re all dead! Stop putting the blame on me!” yelled Tye without the slightest remorse for his actions.

“Cut the cr*p! Look, if you let go of the casket’s lid, I’ll consider granting you a painless death. If you don’t, well, I’ll make sure you die extremely slowly and painfully!” growled Gerald, knowing full well that speaking with this demonic man was only a waste of breath.

In response to Gerald’s threat, Tye simply laughed maniacally. As if he would ever listen to Gerald after what that boy did…

Chapter 1923

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1923 Regardless, once he was done laughing, Tye used all his strength to lift the lid off the casket!

Though Gerald immediately leaped forward and kicked Tye into the air after seeing that, the deed had been done. With the casket now open, the entire chamber began shaking violently, sending debris— from the ceiling—falling everywhere…!

Even so, Gerald’s attention was currently on more worrying things, like the black mist that had just flown out the golden casket! Just as Gerald had predicted, there was something extremely dangerous within that casket!

Whatever the case was, things were looking bad.

With that in mind, Gerald immediately retreated from the chamber and reunited with Rey who had been hiding at a blind spot right outside the chamber.

Upon seeing Gerald, Rey quickly asked, “W-what should we do now, Mr. Crawford… ?!”

“Run, of course! We need to get out of here!” yelled Gerald as he grabbed Rey’s arm before yanking him toward the exit.

Though escaping this place unscathed was his priority, Gerald made sure to take a few glances behind him as the duo ran on… While the black mist didn’t go after Gerald or Rey, it completely surrounded Tye and his men! From the looks of it, the mist appeared to be rapidly draining Tye’s men’s life forces! Though that may sound horrible, it was nothing compared to the agony Tye was probably feeling.

After all, in that brief moment Gerald caught sight of Tye, he saw that the black mist had pierced right through the back of Tye’s head… and it was currently protruding out of his mouth! What a truly terrifying way to die…

Still, Gerald made sure to remind himself that it was none of his business…

Soon after, Gerald and Rey safely made it out of the exit. Before even thinking of leaving, however, the duo made sure to properly seal the entrance up so that the black mist wouldn’t be able to escape…

Once that was out of the way, both of them sat on the ground, exhausted.

Rey himself was panting much heavier than Gerald was. After all, he was still new to witnessing such dangerous chains of events, and all this happening within a tomb certainly didn’t help!

Whatever the case was, there was a silver lining to all this. After all, Tye and his men had received the retribution they deserved…

The only regret Gerald had was that he wasn’t able to kill that devil of a man with his own hands…

Regardless, after catching their breaths, Gerald turned to look at Rey before saying, “…Alright, now that all this is done, let’s return to the village. We need to give the villagers a proper burial!”

After Rey nodded in agreement, the two then began walking back to Moonbeam Village… Upon arriving, both of them immediately got to work burying Stanton and the rest of the villagers… While they were at it, they made sure to clean up the mess Tye and his men had made as well.

To think that Moonbeam Village would no longer exist from this day onward…

Though it was saddening, Gerald and Rey knew that there was not much else they could do. With that, once they were done with everything, they packed their things up and prepared to leave…

However, just as they were about to leave the village, a black figure suddenly bolted out of the forest and yelled, “It’s time to meet your end, Gerald!”

Instantly recognizing Tye’s voice, the two were rightfully startled that he was still alive! What more, he appeared much more vicious compared to before!

However, the second Gerald snapped out of it, he couldn’t help but raise a slight brow. From the looks of it, Tye’s entire body was now covered in unnerving-looking black bumps…

“So, you’re still alive, huh?” replied Gerald as he scanned Tye’s new body from head to toe.

Laughing aloud, Tye then sneered, “I bet you didn’t expect this, huh? Just so you know, I’m now stronger than ever! After all, the soul of that Zanekh general is now within me! With that in mind, of course I wouldn’t die that easily! Regardless, I have big plans to conquer the world and establish my own empire… but before any of that, I’ll be starting small by finally ending both of your lives!”

 

Chapter 1924

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1924 Following that, Tye glared evilly at the duo as he blasted an orb of black mist toward Gerald and Rey!

The two were able to dodge to the side in time, and seeing that Rey stood no chance here, Gerald immediately instructed, “Find someplace to hide! I’ll deal with him!”

Simply nodding in response, Rey then ran into one of the village houses as Gerald unsheathed the Astrabyss Sword.

Narrowing his eyes as his murderous intent surged, Gerald then yelled, “Since you’re not dead yet, I’ll take this chance to personally finish you off, Tye! The chief and the villagers are going to be avenged no matter what.”

Just as Gerald was finding it fitting that he could still personally avenge the innocents, Tye simply responded with a disdainful laugh. From that alone, it was clear that the current Tye was even less afraid of Gerald than he previously was. To him, Gerald was simply an ant that he could easily crush now.

“Talking big, eh? Fine! Try me!” scoffed Tye as he grinned before charging toward Gerald with inhuman speed!

The black mist had clearly improved his speed and strength, and in the blink of an eye, Tye was already right in front of Gerald, his fist—that was currently covered in black flames—well positioned and ready to strike…!

Gerald, however, didn’t even flinch. Instead, he simply lifted his blade to block the attack! Since the Astrabyss was such a powerful sword, it easily deflected Tye’s attack.

Naturally, this momentarily stunned Tye, and he immediately thought that the sword was the reason Gerald was so powerful.

“Oh? To think that you had such a good weapon! Allow me to kill you so that I can be its next owner!” scoffed Tye with a malicious grin.

“Hah! Come and get it if you can!” retorted Gerald as he laughed mockingly.

Before Tye could even react, Gerald then channeled his energy into the blade, sending Tye flying backward!

Tye had just gained his new powers. In other words, there was no way he was going to be able to deal with someone well trained with the Astrabyss Sword like Gerald.

Whatever the case was, Gerald wasn’t about to allow Tye to recover from that attack. With that, he shot out a powerful spiritblade toward Tye!

Unable to avoid the attack in time, Tye ended up getting hit by the full brunt of the attack!

Now seriously injured by the Astrabyss Sword, Tye finally accepted that he was currently no match against Gerald. He needed to escape!

“You may win today, Gerald, but we’ll see who’ll have the last laugh!” yelled Tye as his body quickly dissipated into a black mist before making a speedy escape. Upon seeing that, Gerald was momentarily stunned. Now that Tye was no longer human, Gerald knew that taking him out wasn’t going to be all that easy anymore. Still, that didn’t change the fact that he still needed to end Tye if it was the last thing he did…

Regardless, upon realizing that the fight was over, Rey quickly got out from the house he was hiding in and jogged toward Gerald before asking in a worried tone, “…What now, Mr. Crawford…?”

Rey was rightfully worried since Tye, a man who had been a bad egg from the start—and had only grown more powerful—, was now on the loose… Who knew what kind of damage he could now do with all that strength…?

Chapter 1925

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1925 Gerald was currently at a loss as well, so he simply said, “…We’ll think about it once we get back!”

Since this matter needed to be planned carefully, Gerald felt that they had to do it in the safety of their home.

Naturally, Rey agreed, and after traveling for an entire day, the two finally made it back…

Upon entering their living room, the duo saw Juno and Yrsa sitting there watching television.

Realizing that they were home, Juno immediately got off the couch before excitedly walking up to them while exclaiming, “You’re back!”

Rey himself simply walked past her and dived into the couch before yelling, “Oh god! It feels great to be back…!”

Watching as Rey then sighed loudly, Juno could already tell that this mission hadn’t gone smoothly. With that in mind, she turned to face Gerald before asking, “Is… everything alright, Gerald…?”

Simply shaking his head, Gerald replied, “It’s nothing. We’re just tired!”

That wasn’t a lie either. Gerald was pretty exhausted by this point, and he would rather discuss things after he had a good sleep. Too many things had happened during the trip, and Gerald knew for a fact that he needed the rest.

Despite knowing that, Gerald found it hard to bring Tye out of his mind. After all, he knew that that b*stard wasn’t about to let them go that easily. Tye would surely return eventually and who knew what kinds of horrible things he would do then?

Forcing that thought out, Gerald then chatted with Juno and Yrsa for a while before dragging Rey back to their respective rooms to get some well-deserved rest…

Looking at the two, Juno couldn’t help but feel slightly distressed. After all, it wasn’t common for Gerald to get this exhausted.

With that in mind, Juno and Yrsa headed out on their own to get some high-quality ingredients. Their plan was to make a hearty dinner for Gerald and Rey to help replenish their energy…

It was around eight that night when Gerald and Rey finally woke up again. This had been the most comfortable sleep they had had in a while…

To their pleasant surprise, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a feast upon entering the dining room. Anyone would feel touched to see such a grandiose meal prepared for them after a long and hard day, and the two weren’t any exceptions. Honestly, it felt like they were married men being served delicious food after returning from work…

Still, Gerald couldn’t help but wonder how much longer such nice days could last…

That thought, however, was cut short when Rey—who had already sat by the dining table—yelled, “Holy! Come quick, Mr. Crawford! There’s so much good food!”

Smiling when she saw the familiar glint of excitement return to Rey’s eyes, Juno then explained, “Consider it to be me and Yrsa’s treat! We prepared this for you since you looked like you had a hard and exhausting trip this time around! Now go on and enjoy your well-deserved meal!”

“You’re too kind, Miss Zorn! Thank you!” replied Rey who was all smiles.

“Hey, I made some of the dishes too, you know! Where’s my thanks?” said Juno with a slight pout.

Chuckling awkwardly in response, Rey then grinned sheepishly as he replied, “Sorry Yrsa! I just got too excited back there!”

Rolling her eyes, Yrsa couldn’t help but reveal a subtle smile as she said, “…Humph! Good enough!” Happy that Yrsa didn’t seem to mind anymore, Rey then began digging in
