Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1771
“…Don’t tell me… You don’t remember anything at all?” replied Gerald.
Shaking his head in his slight confusion, it truly appeared that he had no memory of what had just taken place.
“…Tell me, why did you swallow the vampiric pearl?” asked Gerald. After all, had the old man not swallowed it, he
wouldn’t have entered that maddened state.
“I… What? I… swallowed it…?!” replied Old Flint, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Gerald.
“You did! After swallowing it, you turned into a madman and started attacking us!” explained Gerald.
After hearing everything that had happened from Gerald, Old Flint couldn’t help but look at the pearl—that was still
on the ground—as he muttered in his bewilderment, “…I… The last thing I remember was you giving the pearl to
me… I had no idea I did all that after that!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStaring at the old man, Gerald had a feeling that he wasn’t lying. Call it a gut feeling, but Gerald chose to believe
Old Flint’s point of view.
However, if Old Flint truly hadn’t been in control of himself when he started attacking, that clearly meant that the
vampiric pearl was the source of the problem.
Still, if that was the case, why didn’t anything happen to Gerald when he touched the pearl earlier? What bizarre
secrets lay behind all this…?
Whatever the case was, after thinking for a brief moment, Gerald told Ray to hand him a piece of cloth. Once he
obtained it, Gerald then wrapped the pearl in it before slipping it into his bag.
It was better not to have such a terrifying item too close to him. Otherwise, who knew what would end up
happening?
Either way, it wasn’t long after before Gerald and the others managed to find a way out of the vampires’ territory.
However, now that they were finally free, the party of five didn’t descend the mountain. Instead, they went upward.
Soon enough, it began snowing rather heavily… It certainly didn’t help that the north wind was blowing so hard.
“Why the hell is it snowing all of a sudden?! What even is this place?” exclaimed Ray in his surprise.
“Let’s not think about that first… We need to focus on finding shelter!” replied Gerald as he kept an eye out on
anyplace they could hide from the snow.
Agreeing with Gerald, the five people quickly began scouting through the area… and eventually, they found a dark
cave.
By that point, the snow was falling so heavily that it was evident that a snowstorm was coming soon. With that in
mind, Gerald and the others were thankful that they had managed to find shelter before that happened.
Upon entering, they found that it was a pretty suitable place to wait out the snowstorm. Even if it wasn’t, it still beat
being buried by snow in the middle of nowhere…

this horrible smell?”
Hearing Ray’s complaint, Gerald and the others quickly caught onto the pungent odor as well. Soon enough, it got
so terrible that they felt like vomiting! Even so, they didn’t have much of a choice but to remain here. It was either
this, or dying under layers of snow…
“…Just bear with it. Some animals may have been here before!” replied Gerald.
Nodding in resignation, everyone simply sat down, hoping that the snowstorm would end soon…
To their dismay, it showed no signs of stopping, even after quite a while.
While they didn’t realize it, all five of them slowly began dozing off… To be fair, they hadn’t rested for an entire day,
so it only made sense for all five of them to feel completely drained…
Though having a nap wasn’t really an issue, the real problem was that they didn’t know what inhabited this cave…
And soon enough, two red glints could be seen coming from deeper within the cave…
