Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1859
As it turned out, there were traps littered all over the place here to prevent intruders from entering…
Either way, it was only a few minutes later before arrows finally stopped shooting out…
Once they were sure that the coast was clear, the duo then cautiously peeked beyond the door again…
Turning to look at the countless arrows littered on the ground, Rey couldn’t help but gulp as he muttered, “…Thank
god you reacted so quickly, Mr. Crawford… Otherwise, we would’ve surely been pierced to high heaven!”
“Indeed… I’m assuming even more traps await us inside. With that in mind, do be careful and stick close to me!
Never walk around randomly, understand?” replied Gerald.
“You don’t have to tell me twice, Mr. Crawford…!” replied the still slightly rattled Rey.

Gerald after witnessing all that!
Regardless, the duo then cautiously began entering the area…
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Juno and Yrsa were simply waiting for the duo’s return at Mr. Bate’s place. Since
they had no idea when Gerald and Rey would return, all they could do at the moment was wait there.
“How much longer will they remain in there, Mr. Bates…?” asked Juno.
“I wish I could answer that… After all, even I don’t know what could happen there… We can only hope that their
fortune protects them there…” replied Mr. Bates.
While his reply was vague, Juno really couldn’t be bothered about it. After all, in her mind, she only hoped that the
two would make a safe return…
It was at that moment when all three of them suddenly heard whispers coming from within the nearby forests…
Raising a brow, Juno turned to look at the source of the voices… and to her shock, the speakers appeared to be the
Soul Hunters from before! To think that they had managed to survive the incident that had befallen them back at
the wooden bridge!
“Mr. Bates! It’s the Soul Hunters!” said Juno.
Snorting in response, Mr. Bates then replied, “They just don’t know when to give up, do they?”
Upon hearing that, Juno and Yrsa were momentarily stunned. To think that Mr. Bates knew about them…
“Leave from the back and find someplace to hide. I’ll be dealing with them, and until I say it’s safe to come out,
remain hidden!” ordered Mr. Bates.
“Got it! Be careful, Mr. Bates!” replied Juno as she quickly held onto Yrsa’s hand before leading her out the back

Barely even seconds after they left, the cloaked man could be seen barging into Mr. Bate’s courtyard with several
Soul Hunters.
Seeing that, Mr. Bates walked out and simply stared at the cloaked man right in the eye…
Smiling subtly, the cloaked man then stared back at Mr. Bates before saying, “Been quite a while, Mr. Bates!”
“How have you still not given up, Leandro?” replied Mr. Bates without beating around the bush.
The man Mr. Bates was squinting at went by Leandro Zaborowski, and he was the leader of the Soul Hunters…
Laughing aloud after hearing Mr. Bate’s statement, Leandro then shamelessly declared, “But of course I haven’t! I
won’t stop until I’ve obtained the Phangrottom Talisman! Once I finally have it, I’ll be able to rule over the ghost
world and make everyone there obey me!”
“Hah! And that’s exactly why you’ll never be able to obtain it, Leandro!” sneered Mr. Bates.
