The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1755
Soon enough, night fell and the entire area was completely engulfed in darkness. With how silent it was, the crackling of the bonfire—that Gerald and his party had started in the yard and were currently sitting around—was crisp as day… With the presence of a very large piece of meat for dinner—that was currently cooking over the bonfire—, it was evident that Gerald had saved some food for a rainy day. Gerald had made sure to keep some rations in his own bag, anticipating the possibility of the villagers exchanging all of the food in Ray’s backpack. Due to how large the meat was, all five of them were sufficiently full by the time dinner was over. With their bellies now filled, Ray couldn’t help but ask in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you think Fane and his gang will come looking for trouble with us tonight, Mr. Crawford?” “Don’t worry, we’ll just take turns being on guard tonight. You can sleep first, and after two hours, we’ll switch places. That way, nobody will be able t

“Look, I didn’t even leave the house! How could I have killed him?” explained Gerald. While that was the truth, he knew the villagers weren’t going to buy it so easily. With that in mind, the best way to clear things out would be by investigating how Fane truly died. Still, Fane’s death certainly explained why he and his gang hadn’t caused Gerald and his party any trouble the previous night. Though Fane was definitely a villainous character that deserved retribution sooner or later, Gerald had to admit that his death was a bit too untimely. Whatever the case was, Gerald then added, “…Look, before we start pointing fingers, let’s just get the corpse up first to see how he really died!” Hearing that, the villagers couldn’t argue with Gerald’s logic, so they began tugging his corpse up. The second the fat corpse was out in the open, everyone saw that his face had been completely ruined. With how badly his face had been clawed up, Fane barely had any notable facial features lef

It wasn’t long before the trio arrived at the well. Pointing at Fane’s corpse—that was now lying on the ground—Gerald then said, “Please have a look at this corpse, Old Flint! Something attacked him yesterday before tossing him down the well!” Upon seeing the corpse, the shocked Ray then shouted in disbelief, “…I-isn’t that Fane, Mr. Crawford? We just met him yesterday! How could he die so abruptly?” Not even bothering to answer Ray’s question, Gerald simply kept his gaze on Old Flint. Old Flint himself simply stared at the corpse, clearly analyzing it. After a short period, he then said, “…This is the work of feral vampires!” “Feral vampires?” repeated Gerald, surprised by Old Flint’s answer. “Indeed. Only their kind would have such sharp claws that could easily kill. What more, if you pay closer attention, you’ll be able to see bite marks on his neck! It can only signify that his blood had been sucked up!” explained Old Flint. “So, what you’re saying is that there are f

“…Who are these people, Mr. Crawford?” whispered Ray as Gerald shook his head, a deep frown on his face. Quite frankly, he had no idea who they were either. Following that, a man with a buzz cut stepped forward, staring at Gerald and his group before asking, “Who are you people?” “Kind sir, we’re merely merchants who are here to have some fun!” replied Gerald. “…Merchants you say? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Who are you trying to fool?” retorted the man as he glared at Gerald. “You’re free to choose not to believe us. Regardless, what are you and your men doing all the way out here?” replied Gerald. “We’re here to look for the vampires’ territory!” declared the man with the buzz cut, not seeing a reason to lie. “…Oh? You’re here to look for their territory as well?” replied Gerald in surprise. To think that these men had the same goal as he had! “Hmm? So, you’re saying we share a goal?” said the man as he signaled for the rest of his men to lower their weapons. “

With that, Lech and his teammates retrieved their shovels—along with any relevant equipment—before starting to dig the earth beneath them. “You guys keep an eye on things while we dig! Let’s get our well-deserved rest once we make it to the other side!” said Lech. Knowing that it wasn’t easy to dig out a passageway and that it would be some time before Lech and his men were done, Gerald naturally had no objections. After nodding in agreement, he then returned to his own party to start keeping watch. Seeing that Gerald had returned, Ray then asked in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you trust these people, Mr. Crawford…?” Understanding where Ray was coming from, Gerald then replied, “Don’t worry, I can sense that he’s a righteous man!” Upon hearing that, Ray’s worries quickly subsided. After all, he trusted Gerald’s judgment. “What about you, Old Flint? What do you think about Lech and his men?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at the old man who was sitting close to them. T

Upon hearing that, Gerald and the others were pleasantly surprised. After going through so much effort, they had finally managed to enter the vampires’ territory! “…However, the fact that those corpses were found dead like that… It can only mean that some vampires are still alive! They’re incredibly dangerous opponents, so please be careful, everyone!” added Old Flint. Vampires in general were an independent race that almost never had contact with people from the outside world. It definitely explained why they resented those from the outside world so much. It was also the reason why they usually attacked any non-vampires on sight. It certainly didn’t help that vampires were naturally fast and could easily kill any number of people they wanted. “Not to worry, sir! All of us are experts at fighting, so we aren’t to be trifled with either! With that in mind, I believe that the vampires won’t dare to act all unrestrained on us!” replied Lech in a confident tone. Upon hearing that

It wasn’t long after before the place went silent again… Since no more arrows were being shot out, it was only fair to assume that the terrifying mechanism had finally ended… Breathing a sigh of relief, Lech then fearfully said, “To think that such a death trap would be here of all places, Mr. Crawford…!” Nobody could have foreseen this… However, that didn’t change the fact that this had been caused by one of Lechs’ men. The culprit himself had been pierced by dozens of arrows and was currently lying in his slowly encroaching pool of blood… What a terrible way to die… Still, this was what happened when people randomly touched things in here. With that in mind, Lech then glared at his men before yelling, “Listen up! The rest of you aren’t allowed to move until I say so!” Hearing that, all of Lech’s men simply nodded and remained standing where they currently were… Not that any of them were daring enough to touch anything anymore. After all, who knows what they could trigger ne

“Hot d*mn! To think that there was another palace down here! In fact, this one looks much larger than the previous one!” exclaimed Ray. “Please be careful, everyone! And don’t do anything stupid!” warned Gerald, hoping that everyone had learned their lesson about randomly touching things. “Copy that! Still, what are those things, Mr. Crawford…? They look so luxurious!” asked Ray as he walked toward one of the platforms to get a closer look. “Those are Treasure Glaze Platforms. They’re specially used to light up candlesticks used for sacrificial rituals. The fires in them can last forever!” explained Old Flint when he saw that Gerald was making no effort to reply. Upon hearing that, Ray was rightfully shocked. To think that such magical items existed… His awe was cut short, however, when everyone suddenly heard one of Lech’s men scream in agony! By the time they turned to look at him, his entire body was already burning! With scorched skin and eerily hollowed-out eyes, it w

Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh

‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the

His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.

“…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere.

Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc

“Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,

From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,
The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 2506
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re

Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if you’re already thinking about killing me t
