Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1807
Their attention was brought back to Rey when they heard his quivering voice say, “I-it was so terrifying,Mr. Crawford…!”
Looking at Rey’s fearful expression, Gerald then frowned slightly as he asked, “What is? What did yousee?”
“Yeah, I mean, there doesn’t seem to be anything around…” muttered Juno who was feeling just asbewildered as Gerald was.
Still, both of them were sure that whatever had scared Rey wasn’t a ghost. After all, the duo couldn’tsense the presence of ghosts at all.
“I-I’m not too sure either… But just as I got up after doing my business, I suddenly felt a cool breezeblow past me… But… then…” muttered Rey who was now shaking so much that he couldn’t even finishhis sentence.
“…Then what?” asked Gerald.
“…W-well… When I turned around and looked up… I saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring right back atme…! I-It was so terrifying…!” stuttered Rey as he recalled the incident he had witnessed.novelbin
Upon hearing that, the duo instinctively looked up… but even after scanning around again, neither ofthem was able to see anything that Rey had just described. All there was up there was the crescentmoon…
“…You sure it wasn’t a trick of your eyes? I don’t think either of us see anything like that…” askedGerald as he looked at Rey with a slightly raised brow.
Shaking his head, Rey then determinedly replied, “I swear on my life, Mr. Crawford and Miss Zorn! I’mnot joking around here! There really were a pair of bloodshot eyes!”
Seeing how sure he appeared, Gerald and Juno knew that he wasn’t playing around. Adding that to thefact that Rey was trembling so much, he must have really bumped into something exceedinglyterrifying…
“…Got it. Regardless, don’t worry, I’m here now. Nothing will happen to you! That aside… Pull up yourpants already!” said Gerald as he firmly patted Rey’s shoulder.
After hearing that statement, Rey looked down… before turning to look at Gerald and Juno again. Ittook him a second, but when it finally set in that his boxers were in full view this entire time, Rey’s faceinstantly reddened as he quickly pulled his pants up.
Seeing that, Gerald then consoled Rey again by adding, “Alright, let’s head back to our tents first. If youneed to do your business again later, I’ll keep you company!”
Understanding that Rey had undergone a major shock, this was the only way Gerald could think of thatcould slightly put Rey at ease. Even so, he knew that his words didn’t help much since Rey still lookedso terrified. The image of the glowing red eyes must have imprinted itself into his mind by this point…
Knowing that staying out here for any longer definitely wouldn’t help, Gerald then led Juno and Reyback to their tents….
Once they were there, Gerald got out some warm alcohol and poured a cup for Rey.
“Here! Let’s drink that horrible memory away!” said Gerald.
Compared to the much more experienced Gerald, Rey was just a fresh university graduate. Due tothat, he barely had any experience with the real world, yet here he was. Out here on an adventure with
Gerald. With that in mind, Gerald knew that it was his responsibility to take care of Rey since he wasthe one who dragged him into this in the first place.
Regardless, Rey took the cup with his still trembling hands before replying, “…Thank you, Mr.Crawford!”
With how frightened Rey still was, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly worried that the ghost was stilllingering around. While he did do a quick scan through the area, it was far too dark by this point toclearly discern anything…
Whatever the case was, after downing the hot alcohol, Rey appeared much more relaxed than before.At the very least, he wasn’t trembling anymore.
Looking at Rey, Gerald then asked in a concerned tone, “Feeling better…?”
