Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1846-1847

Chapters 1846.

After thinking about it for longer, Gerald stated,

“...I choose to let fate decide!”

“...Oh? An unexpected answer! Want to explain why?” Ask Torme.

“Well, basically, not one person can actually decide on life or death of himself or anyone else.

Ultimately, destiny is the final determinant. If this was really someone's time to meet his end, then no one would be able to stop him.

With that in mind, I have no right to choose the ultimate fate of these people! Although true

that I want all despicable criminals to die, I believe that they will eventually reap what they have sown!

After all, fate would definitely give them a suit ending when the time was right!' Gerald.

After saying all of that, an applause instantly sounded as Torme said,

“Not bad! You are different from the others! Congratulations, you have passed the first exam!"

After that, the darkness disappeared, and everything looked just like before. Torme himself did not budge from that place, although he was now smiling as he praised, instead,

“As you said, no one can really decide on life and death themselves or anyone else. Glad to hear that you are not the kind of person who

mercilessly killing others!"

While Gerald was surprised to learn that he had passed the first test so easily, he quickly flinched before politely answering, saying,

"I appreciate the compliment, sir!"

“Good word! Anyway, are you ready for your second exam?” Ask Torme.

"Me, ready!"

After saying that, Gerald watched Torme disappear once again and his surroundings began to change again…

In the end, Gerald was shrouded in darkness again.This time, however, there was a screen with alternating scenes playing out quickly…

From what Gerald could see, the screen projected a person's experience from the moment he was born until the day he died…

“What you watch is someone's whole life..At a glance, right? Now tell me, what do you think of life?” Ask Torme's disembodied voice.

Hearing that, Gerald turned his head to look at the screen, wondering if he was now being tested his understanding of life ...

'What do I think about life...? What exactly is life..?’ Gerald thought to himself.

After a brief pause, Gerald was compelled to ask, saying,

“...Have you experienced life as a human before, Sir?”

"I have, even though I refuse to experience such a life again!"

Torme replied in a slightly regretful tone that Gerald could immediately feel.

From what Gerald could have assumed, Torme must have lived a torturous life for him not to try again.

With that, Gerald then closed his eyes tightly as many scenes began to play out in his mind...

The scene itself was his own experience from when he was young to this day...

It is true that as a child, he had a hard time, he is now living a pretty good life. Isn't life just a series of joys and sorrows and partings and reunions?

Not long after that thought when Gerald reopened his eyes before saying,

“...Although everyone's life is different, to me, life is basically just a cycle that a person goes through from the day they are born until they die… The cycle itself is very important in order for one to gain enough experience to refine

self before they enter the afterlife.”

Chapters 1847.

the pain... The pleasant part of life is bound to exist, and once individuals realize it, they will surely lead a better life than constantly complaining about the injustices of life.” Clearly.

Gerald.

While Gerald didn't really understand what the exam was about at first, after thinking about all this, he is now convinced that he is being tested how well he understands life.

What's more, Gerald has noticed that the scene playing on the screen is just Torme's experience when he was alive.

With that in mind, Gerald was convinced that the test was also being done to help

Torme solved his inner problems.

Whatever the case may be, Gerald is now convinced that to have a good life, one must experience it to the fullest.

By doing so, individuals will be able to go through most of their grief, joy, separation, and reunion before they eventually die...

However, after Gerald expressed his answer, Torme reappeared before Gerald again, causing the room to return to its original state.

Smiling subtly, Torme then said, “For hundreds of years, I've been waiting for someone to help me get it all done

my hatred..Thanks to you, I am no longer burdened by all of this! As you said, going through cycles is the only way that humans can progress! Congratulations, you have passed the second exam!"

Hearing that, Gerald couldn't help but feel happy.

“...However, your life is much different compared to others. Again

also, at this rate, you will experience more gains and losses than the average joe can experience. With that in mind, I hope you are mentally prepared for the fact that in the end, some of those people will leave you for good.” Torme added.

Upon hearing that, Gerald's heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, Torme could see Gerald's future…

While she now knew that, Gerald chose not to ask for any details. After all, there was no point in knowing about the future.

In the end, it was he who controlled his own fate, and he refused to deliberately change it just to change the future that Torme saw.

Moreover, it seemed like he would not be able to change his future once Torme told him about it.

After all, every action he took could greatly change his fate.

Whatever the case, Gerald simply nodded at Torme in response before saying,

"Understand, Sir!"

"That's fine. Now, let the final exam begin!”

Torme replied as he waved his hand, causing the scene to shift again…

While Gerald was surprised that Torme did not even ask if he was ready this time, he was even more astonished when he suddenly saw a figure slowly approaching him...

Squinting his eyes to see the figure more clearly, it wasn't long before the stunned Gerald realized who he was...

It was none other than Juno! When Juno got close enough, she smiled faintly before calling out,

"Gerald!"

Hearing her soft and familiar voice, Gerald inevitably asked, “...Juno.... You... Why are you here.?.?”.

“Say... Why don't we stay here forever, Gerald…? Just you and me in the most feminine place.together,”.

Juno replied, completely ignoring Gerald's question.

"…Huh? Stayin' here? From all places? Why would you even suggest such a thing…?" Ask Gerald who was very confused.

“...Hm? Could it be that you are hesitant to stay here with me…? ”

Juno replied as her cherry expression instantly turned grim.

Before Gerald replied, he suddenly recalled that until this moment, everything Torme had shown him was just an illusion. With that in mind, he now knew that this 'Juno' was nothing more than an illusion!

"…I refuse! After all, everything here is just an illusion!”
