Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1798
Seeing that Gerald had hit the brakes, Rey took the chance to take a wooden box out from hisbackpack. 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 beadmomentarily glowed red!
Seeing that, both of them exchanged glances with each other. It appeared that both of them hadwitnessed the same thing.
“…Where on earth did you even get this thing?” asked Gerald after a short pause.novelbin
“Well, remember when we went for a trip to the countryside? I found it by a small river and simply feltcompelled to pick it up… Later on, Tyson and the others realized that I had the box, and they instantlywanted me to hand it to them though I refused…” replied Rey.
“I see… Have any strange incidents happened to you after you took the box?” asked Gerald.
Hearing that, Rey took a moment to think about it.
After quite a while, Rey eventually said, “…Come to think of it, there is one incident… Back then, I wasjust returning home when the bead suddenly began emitting a red, dazzling glow… Truth be told, I wassure that it was going to explode back then! However, the glow simply dimmed after that, and the beadhasn’t behaved strangely ever since…”
“…A red glow… You mean the one we just witnessed?”
“Bingo. Regardless, do you have any idea what this black bead even is, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Reyas he looked at Gerald.
In response, Gerald simply shook his head. While he hadn’t the slightest clue what the bead was usedfor, he did know that it was brimming with the aura of an evil spirit. With that in mind, the bead wasdefinitely bad news.
With that in mind, after looking at the bead for a while longer, Gerald then closed the wooden boxbefore returning it to Rey.
“Hold onto this first, Rey. Once we get back to the office, I’ll have someone look at it. With any luck,we’ll be able to find out more about its history!” said Gerald in a reassuring tone.
Nodding in response, Rey then replied, “Loud and clear, Mr. Crawford!”
After making sure that the box was safely returned into Rey’s backpack, Gerald then started the car’sengine again before driving straight for the office…
Upon returning, the duo saw that Juno had already prepared everything for the trip.
“I’ve packed all the equipment we’ll be needing, Gerald! We’re all set to go!” reported Juno.
“Excellent. We’ll be heading off at dawn then!” declaring Gerald as he turned to face both Juno andRey.
“…Well, if you insist…” replied Rey, sensing how sincere Gerald’s concern was toward him.
With that, a brief screeching of tires could be heard…
