Gerald had deliberately avoided her question so that she wouldn’t ask too much. Getting the hint, the woman then nodded before quickly leaving the cave. Seeing that she was now gone, Gerald quickly opened the letter and began reading through it… ‘Congratulations on finding the first hostage, Mr. Crawford! Now hurry along and go find where the next hostage is! There’s no money hidden here!’ After reading through the letter, Gerald couldn’t help but frown. Another ancient poem…? The culprit really enjoyed using ancient poems as clues, didn’t he? Regardless, the hint this time was pretty straightforward. Since the poem included the word ‘money’, it was only fair to assume that the next hostage could be found in a bank. However… which bank? There were way too many banks in the Leicom Continent for Gerald to find the right one in such a short amount of time. Realizing that he wasn’t going to get anything done just by speculating here alone, Gerald immediately left the area, in

While they were on their way there, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “So… mind filling me in, Mr. Crawford…?” Turning to look at Rey for a moment, Gerald then replied, “Remember that call from yesterday?” Nodding in response, Rey then said, “I do. That person said he wanted to play a game with you… Don’t tell me it’s already started?” “It has. That person has challenged me to rescue six hostages, and I’ve already rescued one this morning. We’re currently on our way to rescue the second one!” explained Gerald. Hearing that, Rey found himself momentarily speechless. No wonder Gerald hadn’t been around this morning… He had already saved someone while they were still barely awake! Disregarding how stunned Rey looked, Gerald then added, “Either way, that phrase I told you to investigate earlier, ‘There’s no money being hidden here,’ directly relates to the second hostage’s location, which is why we’re currently targeting the bank near the tax building!” Just as Gerald completed his ex

About half an hour later, people sent by the Grand Council could be seen rushing over alongside a few of the bank’s staff, all of them appearing anxious. After all, it was definitely flabbergasting to learn that a person was locked inside an ATM machine. After about another ten minutes of prying the ATM open, they finally managed to reveal what was inside… Just as Gerald and Rey had deduced, there truly was a woman trapped inside! To make matters even more shocking, she was one of the bank’s staff! Regardless, once the woman was hurriedly sent to the hospital, those sent over by the Grand Council began inspecting the scene… From what they could gather, the lid—at the back of the machine—had been deliberately welded tightly by the perpetrator… As they continued investigating, one of the supervisors retrieved a purple envelope from within the machine as he asked, “…Hmm? A letter?” Hearing that, Gerald immediately took it from him. The supervisor himself made no effort to stop
The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1795
Hearing that, Gerald and Rey dashed out of the hospital, hoping to catch up with the woman. As they rushed out, the duo thankfully stopped just in time to avoid getting run over by a speeding black car! “Where the hell did you learn to drive, b*stard?!” scowled Rey as he glared while pointing at the black car. Gerald, on the other hand, was much more interested in the purple letter that had fluttered out of the car and was now lying on the ground. Quickly opening it, Gerald then read the letter… ‘The second game has officially begun!’ “That utter b*stard…!” growled Gerald as he crumpled the letter up, knowing full well that he had been a step too late. Since the envelope had come from that black car, the car was undoubtedly the key! Still, now wasn’t the time to feel sorry for himself. With that, Gerald began running toward their car while shouting, “Hurry, Rey! We have to pursue them!” Once both of them were inside, Gerald stepped on the accelerator, sending the car lu

Soon enough, the duo arrived at what appeared to be a suspended platform. Looking up and pointing toward it, Gerald then shouted, “Up there!” As Rey turned to look up, he was surprised to see the hair of a woman hanging from the side of the platform! It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the woman lying up there was none other than the bank staff member they had previously saved from the ATM machine! To be captured again immediately after being released from the hospital… What an unfortunate woman… At that moment, both of them noticed that a figure had been staring intently at them from some rockery formations nearby. Seeing that, Gerald ordered, “…Go save that woman, Rey. I’m hunting that person down!” Following that, Gerald bolted straight for the figure, believing that he was definitely the culprit behind all this! As he swiftly gained on the now fleeing man, the frustrated Gerald couldn’t help but yell, “Stop running, you coward!” To Gerald’s surprise, the man

“…Oh? Do you really think you’re capable of getting rid of me?” retorted Gerald as he looked at Yorrek with a disdainful expression. Forget getting rid of him, Yorrek was probably incapable of even harming him! “While it’s true that I can’t personally kill you, I can still get rid of others!” sneered Yorrek before immediately dashing toward Gerald! Seeing that, Gerald quickly drew the Astrabyss Sword, ready to slash Yorrek when he came within range! However, in the very next second, Yorrek seemed to just disappear into thin air! Despite Gerald having his sword at the ready, Yorrek appeared to have successfully escaped… While it was certainly disappointing, Gerald was sure that the game between him and Yorrek wasn’t over yet. In fact, this meeting probably symbolized the true start of the games… Fast forward to sometime later, Rey—who appeared quite flustered—couldn’t help but look at Gerald, his tone brimming with admiration as he said, “You’re… really amazing, you know tha

Seeing that Gerald had hit the brakes, Rey took the chance to take a wooden box out from his backpack. The box itself had a painting resembling a spider on the lid… Following that, Rey slowly opened the wooden box… Revealing a single black bead. “The item they were after… is this bead!” said Rey as he handed the box to Gerald. Taking the box, Gerald then stared at the black bead… and barely a second later, the bead momentarily glowed red! Seeing that, both of them exchanged glances with each other. It appeared that both of them had witnessed the same thing. “…Where on earth did you even get this thing?” asked Gerald after a short pause. “Well, remember when we went for a trip to the countryside? I found it by a small river and simply felt compelled to pick it up… Later on, Tyson and the others realized that I had the box, and they instantly wanted me to hand it to them though I refused…” replied Rey. “I see… Have any strange incidents happened to you after you took the

“Copy that!” replied both of them. Since they were going into the adventure mostly blind, all three of them had no idea what troubles to even expect. With that in mind, all they could do was prepare different tactics and equipment in hopes that it would allow them to be ready enough to deal with the situations they eventually came across. Still, with Gerald there, Juno and Rey undoubtedly felt much more assured. After all, the duo knew that Gerald would never let anything happen to them. Regardless, all three of them turned in early that night. After all, they were embarking on a new adventure the next day, so they needed to be well-rested and be in good shape. At eight the next morning, the trio took one more look at Gerald’s map—that Old Flint had given them—before getting into their car and driving for Sunset Village… From their starting point, it would take approximately two days before they would arrive there. With that in mind, they would have to spend two whole days o

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. Ho

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
