Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapters 1828-1829

"...Well, I'll be cursed!" Said Rey.

"Hm? What's up, Rey?"

Gerald asked while raising a little of his eyebrows.

"Well, you never told me before that slapping someone else could be this fun!"

Rey replied with a shy grin. Upon hearing that, Gerald and the girls could only roll their eyes in response. What an annoying and funny kid.

"Don't be too childish, huh?"

Gerald murmured while sighing as Rey laughed embarrassedly while scratching the back of her head.

"Anyway, what should we do with him, brother Gerald? Should we throw it away?"

Rey asked as she made a slicing motion around her neck, clearly hinting at the beheading.

"Please don't do that, brothers! I now realize the mistake in my way! So please, please, don't kill me.!"

Exclaimed the panicked innkeeper while begging for mercy. Thinking that he wanted to earn money quickly would lead to such a life-threatening situation.! He didn't sign up for this! He doesn't want to die!

"Hm. Well, even though he was evil, he was not entirely inexcusable. Let's go now that we've taught him a good lesson!"

Gerald said in a calm tone as he looked at the innkeeper.

Gerald, for example, was not a completely unreasonable person. He knew that the innkeeper had only done all this for money, and now he had been threatened so much, he said, Gerald believed that the innkeeper would not dare to repeat the same mistake in the future.

Moreover, Mr. Panther is dead, so the innkeeper would not be able to continue to carry out such a vile practice. With that in mind, Gerald didn't mind saving her.

After realizing that Gerald saved her, the innkeeper was immediately overjoyed. After all, as long as he could continue living, everything was fine in the world.

"Thank you, brother.! I'll never do anything like that again." Shouted the innkeeper.

"Preferably no. If I find out that you did, you only blame yourself when I chase after you mercilessly! Although at that time, you will only accompany Mr. Panther. I'm sure you understand what I mean?"

Warned Gerald with a sharp look.

"Hard and clear.! I'll run my inn right, I swear!"

Answer the innkeeper while nodding profusely.

"The good word. Anyway, let's pack up and leave early!"

Gerald said as the other three agreed immediately.

The City of the Five Elements was truly not a good place to visit. With that in mind, it would be best if they left the city as quickly as possible before something really bad happened.

After all, it was about ten minutes later when Gerald and his entourage finished packing.

While they had decided to save the innkeeper, they had not let him escape that easily.

With that in mind, they dragged the bound innkeeper - who was still clinging to the same chair - to the front of the inn and left him there. As soon as dawn arrived, the citizens could free themselves.

Once that was done, Gerald and his entourage then set out to continue their journey. Because it was still about an hour before noon, the entire city was shrouded in silence, the only sound was the low hum of street lights.

"As they walked, Rey asked, saying,

Turning to look at Rey, Gerald then calmly replied,

"Maybe not. Even if he tries to take revenge, it's not like we can't face anything he throws at us. I'm sure he understood that failing to take me out would give him a one-way ticket to hell!"

Gerald himself felt that the innkeeper would not dare to make them trouble again. After all, he had made sure to give the man a deep sense of fear.

"...I saw! Speaking of which, how exactly did the innkeeper get tied to the chair from the start."

Rey asked who was very eager to find out.

"..Hm? Do you really want to know?"

Gerald replied in a somewhat playful tone.

Watching Rey nod, Gerald simply said,

"Although I'd like to tell you more about it, it's not something you should be aware of at your current stage. Again, don't worry. I'll definitely let you know once you're ready."

"All right."

Disappointed Rey murmurs, understanding that Gerald feels that he is not yet strong enough to learn about what Gerald has done.

"No need to feel down. As long as you practice properly, you will definitely learn it in the near future!" Gerald said with a smile.

Hearing that, Rey simply nodded in response. After all, he knew that Gerald would not disavow his words.

Either way, it wasn't long before the sun began to brighten the sky. Since they had not slept at all last night, the exhausted Rey could only say,

"...U. Why don't we find a place to rest first, brother Gerald.? After all, we couldn't sleep a bit last night!"

Hearing that, Gerald turned his head towards Juno and Yrsa who looked equally tired.

"I have to agree with Rey, Gerald. We really should stop to rest for a while. We're already quite far away from the Five Elements City, so I'm sure no one will be chasing us any time soon." Added Juno.

While it's true that Juno has entered the Avatar Realm just like Gerald – it doesn't mean she can't afford to feel tired.

Moreover, as he and Gerald shared territory, Gerald was already at the Heavenly Emperor stage. With that in mind, he would never be tired and his energy would always be awake at a comfortable level.

Even so, he understood that the others still needed a break, which was why he then replied,

"All right, let's take a break!"

Hearing that Gerald had agreed to it, Rey immediately let out a sigh of relief, proving that she assumed that Gerald would not approve of it.

Either way, they soon found a rocky cave and decided to rest inside.

However, aside from the fact that it was pitch-black there, there also seemed to be a foul smell that could be smelled, even from the entrance of the cave.

"My Lord! What's that smell!"

Rey grumbled as she covered her nose with a frown.

Now that they were right at the cave opening, the smell was so terrible that it almost caused vomiting.

However, before anyone could reply, a roar of thunder suddenly sounded in the dark sky quickly.

"Good! Lightning storm now."

Rey shouted annoyed while looking at the sky. Trouble just keeps coming! How hard life is!
