Ch. 1971..1975: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1971-1975
Chapter 1971
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1971 Whatever the case was, it was only seconds later when both Gerald and Christos’s expressions turned grave.
Both of them had sensed an immense murderous intent rapidly approaching them from the outside!
“It seems that you’ve been followed, kid! You got a lot of enemies or something?” grumbled Christos.
Since Christos had been laying low in here for decades, there was no way the enemy was coming for him. With that in mind, Gerald understood that it only made sense for the murderous people to be after him…
Still, to think that news about him arriving in Rico would spread so quickly… Gerald, for one, hadn’t expected others to be coming after him so soon! Had his enemies been observing him this entire time…?
Regardless, Gerald could only lower his head in embarrassment as he said, “I apologize for the trouble, senior Christos…! Allow me to deal with them first!” Following that, he walked out the grocery store and stood by the door…
By this point, night had already fallen and it was quite dark. Adding that to the fact that not a single soul could be seen walking the streets, the scene was undoubtedly creepy…
It almost felt like danger lurked in every corner…
A split second after Gerald had that thought, several knives began flying toward him!
While Gerald was able to dodge all of them—resulting in the knives getting embedded into the door behind him—, it was too dark to see his assailants.
However, it didn’t take long before a few murderous-looking men—all of them donning black suits— emerged from the shadows!
All of them had longswords in hand, and they quickly surrounded the youth…
Chapter 1972
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1972 While the armed men weren’t exactly weak, to Gerald, they were nowhere close to being his opponents.
Before anyone— including Gerald—could make a move, however, a blurry figure suddenly bolted out of the grocery store! Stopping right in front of Gerald, the figure then released a powerful shockwave from his palm, sending all the men in black flying!
By the time they landed, all of them were already dead!
Of course, the one who had done the deed was none other than Christos, and his power was certainly a surprise to Gerald. Then again, Gerald was more startled by the fact that Christos had helped him take those men out in the first place.
Whatever the case was, Christos then looked at Gerald rather disdainfully before saying, “Hey, why are you even wasting time with those morons? You said you needed my help to head to the Autremonde Realm, no? Let’s get going then.”
Upon hearing that, Gerald was rightfully embarrassed. After all, while he could’ve taken those men out just as easily, he hadn’t done so immediately just as Christos had…
Regardless, since Christos had dealt with them, he had one less thing to bother about…
Still, Gerald had to hand it to that old man. After all, he still maintained his strength after all these years…
Either way, the two then left for Dragonott…
Once they had boarded their flight, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Christos… According to the notebook, the stone monument which leads to the Autremonde Realm is located atop Mount Kenloux… Is that true?” “Bingo. Upon activation, it’ll open a portal to the Autremonde Realm!” replied Christos, prompting Gerald to nod…
Once they got to Dragonott, the duo then got into a car before heading straight for Mount Kenloux…
Chapter 1973
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1973 As the duo made their way to Mount Kenloux, a man dressed fully in black could be seen kneeling in the middle of a room located on the far end of Dragonott.
The man himself was kneeling before another robed man who had a scepter of sorts in hand…
Shortly after, the kneeling man then quickly reported, “From what we’ve heard, Gerald has already left Rico and is now back in Dragonott, chief! Apparently, he’s already well on his way to Mount Kenloux
Upon hearing that, the robed man then asked in a frigid tone, “… Mount Kenloux? Why on earth is he headed there?”
“We can’t say for sure yet, but we do have something else that’s noteworthy! There’s an extremely powerful man with Gerald now, and all our men—who were sent out to attack Gerald—were killed in a single attack by that person!” said the kneeling man while shaking his head.
Hearing that, the robed man then snorted before scoffing, “What are you up to this time, Gerald… No matter. Get me a car now! I’m heading to Mount Kenloux!”
“Loud and clear!” replied the man in black before getting to his feet and walking out the hall…
Moving back to Gerald and Christos, it wasn’t long before they both arrived at the foot of the mountain…
Seeing no reason not to start scaling it immediately, the duo did just that.
It took them about three hours, but they eventually arrived at the mountain peak…
Looking around, Gerald soon saw a greenish-white stone monument at the highest point of the mountain… It looked just as Christos and the notebook had described it…
Upon closer inspection, several patterns and undecipherable words seemed to have been carved into the stone monument…
Either way, Christos wasn’t about to waste his time waiting for Gerald to finish inspecting the place. With that in mind, he went straight to the point and said, “Here we are, kid. The stone monument that’ll get you to the Autremonde Realm… Are you ready?”
“lam, senior Christos! Let’s begin!”
Chapter 1974
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1974 Watching as Gerald then nodded confidently, Christos began walking over to the stone monument before placing his hand onto it…
As he began chanting a spell, the stone monument quickly began emitting a gentle glow… However, the longer he chanted, the brighter the glow became, until eventually, the entire mountain peak was as bright as a beacon!
Watching wide-eyed as a portal began forming, Gerald snapped out from his amazement when he heard Christos call out, “Everything that happens from this point on will fully be on you, kid! My help ends here, got that?!”
With how serious Christos’s tone was, Gerald nodded respectfully before replying, “Loud and clear! Thank you for all your help, senior Christos!”
Following that, Gerald then ran into the portal… and the second he went through it, the portal vanished into thin air!
Rest assured that Gerald had safely made it past the portal, Christos then began descending the mountain through a well-hidden footpath…
His job here was done, and as he had said time and again, it was now all up to Gerald whether he succeeded or not…
Whatever the case was, shortly after Christos left, the robed man arrived at the scene with a few of his men…
Though they immediately began scouring the mountain top, they eventually realized that Gerald was nowhere to be found. Due to their lack of clues as to where Gerald had gone to, one of the
subordinates proposed, “…Chief, remember that beam of light we saw from the foot of the mountain earlier…? It disappeared shortly after and so did Gerald… Do you think… 2”
“Indeed. I don’t like how fishy this area is… Regardless, go find that man who came here with Gerald! He should know what happened!” ordered the robed man, his expression grim…
Naturally, Gerald had no idea that all this was happening, and he simply continued walking until eventually, the light from the passage—that had been part of the portal—subsided… Leaving Gerald staring wide-eyed at the sight before him.
From the looks of it, he had successfully entered the Autremonde Realm, and the other end of the portal had led him to a stream in some sort of valley…
Regardless, what truly amazed him was how beautiful the nature in this world looked. From the thriving greenery on the mountains and the crystal-clear water in the stream, this place looked absolutely picturesque…
Chapter 1975
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1975 To think that his first impression—upon entering the Autremonde Realm—would be how lovely this place’s near-pristine nature appeared…
While he would’ve certainly liked to enjoy the view for a bit longer, Gerald knew he had more important things to do. With that in mind, he left the stream and began walking till he eventually came across a town of sorts…
Just as he was about to enter the town, however, the familiar glint of a blade’s reflection caught his eye.
Realizing that it had come from the nearby jungle, Gerald raised a slight brow before sneaking over to investigate…
Shortly after, he was greeted by the sight of a woman—wearing purple clothes—getting attacked by five men who were dressed wholly in white.
Naturally, this made Gerald incredibly angry. After all, how could so many men go up against a single woman! Had they no dignity?!
Whatever the case was, though the woman—who had a longsword in hand—was clearly outnumbered, Gerald was honestly surprised that she was able to fend the men off quite efficiently. He had to admit that she was quite powerful…
Even so, in the end, there was strength in numbers, and the lady in purple eventually found herself falling to the ground, her sword flung to the side as she coughed out a mouthful of blood…
Snickering when he saw that, one of the five men then walked up to the injured woman before scoffing with a wicked smile on his face, “You’re dying by my hand today, Zianne Landis! Since you’re going to perish soon anyway, allow me to savor your warm and soft body first.”
“Don’t even dare, Johnny Babbs! You’re not having your way even if I am to die!” growled Zianne as she glared at the sadistic man. Hearing that, Johnny simply laughed loudly before sneering, “Oh please, as if you’re in any position to say that! Men, grab her! Once I’m done with her body, you’ll each have your turns before we kill her!”
Grinning lustfully when they heard that, the four men then began encircling Zianne, inching closer to her with every step…
