Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1861-1862

Chapters 1861.

Leandro then ordered his men to slit Mr Bates' throat. With how fresh the corpse was, blood immediately began to flow out.

As it turned out, they were unwilling to let Lord Bates rest in peace even after killing him mercilessly. Totally inhuman.

Even so, this perfectly explains why Mr. Bates was so reluctant to help Leandro and his subordinates. With that in mind, it made sense why the old man chose to die rather than compromise with such a person.

Although Leandro thought he was smart by getting Mr. Bates' blood to activate Stonehenge, he quickly discovered that it was not as easy as he had imagined.

After all, even after he ordered his subordinates to pour Lord Bates' blood onto the stone pillar, nothing happened.

"Damn it!"

The angry Leandro pouted as his anger intensified.

Unable to hold back his anger, he picked up a knife before slowly walking to the corpse of Mr. Bates.

And to ease his anger, he started slicing the corpse! How cruel is unbearable! Even the other Soul Hunters could only tremble in fear as they watched their leader commit such a heinous act.

None of them even dared to make a sound out of fear that he would vent his anger on them next.

As soon as he calmed down a little, Leandro glared at his subordinates before ordering,

"Make camp here! We're waiting for them to come back!"

Since he would not be able to enter the place, all he could do was wait for Gerald and his entourage to return.

Whatever the case, the other Soul Hunters immediately started to work, not daring to waste time for fear that Leandro's anger would flare up again.

Fear seems to be a great motivator because those people can set up temporary camps around Stonehenge in no time.

Leandro's plan is to ambush Gerald and his entourage once they return. What a truly evil plot.

Meanwhile, Gerald and Rey themselves secretly explore the territory of the Phangrottom Clan, being careful at every step so that they don't accidentally trigger another death trap.

Naturally, they had no idea that Mr. Bates was now dead. Still, once Gerald finally learns that Mr. Bates was not only killed, but his body has also been so vilely desecrated, he will surely be enraged.

Leandro and his subordinates would definitely pay a heavy price once he finally returned.

They still don't know what's going on out there, and they don't know the consequences of cutting Mr. Bates' body just to protect them.

If Gerald found out about it, he would definitely be furious. He would definitely not let Leandro and his subordinates go.

He would also get justice for Mr. Bates, making Leandro and his subordinates pay a heavy and terrible price.

But that will only happen after Gerald gets the Phangrottom Talisman.

Gerald took Rey and walked over to the Phangrottom Clan's territory. After all, as the two walked to the central part of most of the territory, they instantly became wary as the torches around them started to light up!

After which, a deep, spine-chilling voice called out,

"Who is there?"

Forget Rey, even Gerald inevitably felt fear when he heard that voice! Being a cowardly cat, the pale-faced Rey was already hyperventilating when Gerald replied,

"I am a cultivator! I'm using Gerald Crawford!"

A few seconds after he shouted that, Gerald and Rey's great fear finally subsided. Now he can breathe well again.

The still frightened Rey could not help but stare at Gerald as he exclaimed,

"A-what is it all, Mr. Crawford.?!"

"It can be calm!" Jerky Gerald.

Hearing that, Rey fell silent, not even daring to breathe too hard. And a split second later, a black figure suddenly appeared before them!

Holding a scepter, the individual had a crown made of bone on top of his head, and his mask had two sharp fangs.

In other words, that person looked very scary. Looking at the two, the man then replied,

"...And I used the Grim Phantom. I am the ruler of the Phangrottom Clan! Why are you coming?"

Every word that the Grim Phantom said felt domineering and pressing at the same time, and with how powerful the aura of the Grim Phantom was alone, it felt, Gerald already knew that there was no way he could win against the Phantom Grim in battle.

The power of the Grim Phantom might have already passed the Thousand Soul Realm.! Gerald couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful the Grim Phantom was!

After doing his best to dispel the fear, Gerald cleared his throat before respectfully saying,

"...Good day, sir. You know, I was a half-human and half-ghost cultivator who came to borrow the Phangrottom Amulet to save all the souls in the world... Anakonda's dead, you know, which means that the big entrance of the ghost world is now open."

"Well! Everything is going according to destiny! With that in mind, nothing will change even if you take my wand! After all, since the entrance of the ghost world is now open, I am convinced that a major change has taken place in the world. Maybe, you'll even find everything to be foreign once you get back!"

Grim Phantom's ejek as he looked straight into Gerald's eyes.

"Even if that's the case, I still want to try! At the very least, know that I will strive to make the inhabitants of the human world and the ghost world live in harmony! After all, I'm sure none of us want mass suffering and pain!"

Gerald replied in a stern tone.

Hearing that, the Grim Phantom could not help but look at Gerald in a new light. As it turns out, Gerald was really thinking about the benefits to all the souls in the world.

Understanding that, the Grim Phantom could only sigh as he stated,

"...All right, then! Take it!"

Although this clearly shocked Gerald and Rey, they were both happy to hear it. After all, none of them anticipated that the Grim Phantom would hand over the talisman so easily!

Regardless, even after the Grim Phantom handed over the Phangrottom Talisman to Gerald, the young man honestly found all of this unbelievable.

Even so, he forced himself to let go before saying,

"Thank you, Grim Phantom."

"Either. Take care of your words and don't make me regret handing the amulet over to you! Make sure to save all the souls in the world!"

Answer the Grim Phantom in a slightly more relaxed tone.

"For sure!"

Gerald replied while nodding.

Gerald knew that Grim Phantom trusted him very much. Otherwise, why else would he hand the talisman over to them so easily?

Whatever the case, since the Grim Phantom placed such trust in him, there was no way Gerald would gladly disappoint that great individual. He will save all the souls in the world!

Either way, just as Gerald was about to leave with Rey, the two heard the Phantom Grim shout, saying,

"Wait!"

Turning around, Gerald couldn't help but ask,

"....Is.there something, sir.?"

While Gerald wondered if the Grim Phantom would retract his words, he immediately brushed the thought aside.

There was no way such a superior individual would return to his words! Then... Why did he stop them...?
