Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1869
After reading through it, Gerald couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he asked, “Who exactly is this, Lord Van
Tage…?”
“Ah, he’s a person who claims to be able to see the past, and also predict a person’s future. Quite a number of
people believe that he truly has the power to read these time-based events, so it’s no wonder why he’s become
quite popular of late. I’m honestly surprised that you haven’t heard of him before, Mr. Crawford,” replied Harold.
With how busy he had been, it really was no wonder why Gerald hadn’t heard about that man before.
Leaning closer to Gerald, Rey then whispered, “I know about him, brother Gerald… I’ve read through many of his
articles and even seen videos of him before. The truth is, I think he’s just a phony…”
“Phony or not, we’ll be able to tell once we’re there!” replied Gerald in a calm tone.
Since Gerald wasn’t really able to gather much from the information in the file, he knew that their next best bet

After a slight pause, Gerald then closed the file before asking, “Can we head to the crime scene now, Mr. Lee?”
“Of course!” replied Harold without the slightest hesitation.
With that, Harold immediately—and personally—led the duo to the crime scene…
The crime scene itself was a studio apartment located in Jhanglum City’s Lotus Bay. The victim was a woman in her
late twenties who went by the name of Fay West.
She had apparently died in her sleep the night before, and while that was already concerning enough, the real
shocker came from two black handprints on the ceiling right atop her head!
It didn’t help that aside from Fay herself, nobody else had entered her home that night, as proved by her
surveillance camera’s footage. While the investigators did go through the footage of the camera across her
apartment for extra measure, the end result was simply the same… Only she had entered her home before her
death.
What more, after doing an autopsy on Fay’s body, no signs of what had killed her were found! Not an injury on her
body, nor were there any traces of poison. It truly was perplexing…
After an entire day of investigating and gaining no new information about the unusual death, Harold finally decided
to bring in the big guns, which prompted him to call Gerald the night before…
Since Gerald was quite famous for dealing with the paranormal, Harold believed that he was the perfect person to
help them crack the case…
Regardless, the trio soon found themselves stepping foot into Fay’s studio apartment.
Upon slowly entering, Gerald’s expression instantly went sour. An overwhelming feminine aura had completely
enveloped the insides of the studio apartment…
Since the human body naturally consisted of masculine aura, immense feminine auras like this would surely trigger
a repelling feeling…
Noticing the change in Gerald’s expression, Harold immediately asked, “…Did you manage to find something, Mr.

Shaking his head, Gerald then monotonously replied, “Not yet, though I must say, this place has an overwhelming
feminine aura…”
Following that, Gerald headed to Fey’s bed before lying down… True enough, there were two distinct, black
handprints right above him…
Naturally, this surprised Harold and his men, though Gerald paid them no heed.
Instead, he simply closed his eyes… and when he reopened them, a woman was lying right next to him…
Of course, she was none other than Fay West herself.
“Find anything?” asked Fay in a curious tone.
Turning to look at her, Gerald then asked, “…Why did you choose to believe in Lord Van Tage?”
Simply giggling in response, Fay then turned to look at the black handprints on the ceiling…
Just as Gerald did the same, he was suddenly jolted away from the scene when Rey’s voice called out, “B-brother
Gerald! Are you alright?!”
Opening his eyes, he couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he looked at Rey while asking, “What’s wrong?”
