    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1823


    Upon entering the inn, Gerald saw the innkeeper and called out, “Evening! Any avable rooms, boss?


    We have four people and we require two rooms!”


    Looking at them, the innkeeper then asked, “Before that, where do all of youe from?”


    While Gerald and his party were rightfully startled, Gerald simply smiled before replying, “We’re… From


    Swindawn City! We’re just here for leisure!”


    Hearing that, the innkeeper then nodded before saying, “Very well, then. Here are your two room keys!


    Your rooms are at the end of the corridor on the second floor!”


    “Appreciate it, boss!” replied Gerald as he took the keys and began leading his party upstairs.


    Following the innkeeper’s directions, the group then made their way to the end of the corridor. The


    ladies were to sleep in the room on the left while Gerald and Rey would sleep in the right one.


    Regardless, Gerald quickly locked the door behind him once he and Rey had entered.


    Now that they had privacy, Rey was prompted to ask, “…I’m not sure if you’ve noticed this, but people


    in this town seem to give outsiders like us strange looks… The innkeeper was no exception either…”


    “I have, and I have a gut feeling that the innkeeper isn’t a good person either. With that in mind, let’s


    take turns sleeping and keeping watch over the situation. I’ll be first to keep watch, and we can switch


    cester in the night,” suggested Gerald.


    “Sounds good!” replied Rey, feeling much safer now that Gerald had suggested that.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    At that moment, knocking could suddenly be hearding from Gerald’s door.


    Raising a slight brow, Gerald then asked, “Who is it?”


    “It’s the innkeeper! I’m here delivering some warm water!” replied the innkeeper as Gerald and Rey


    exchanged nces with each other.


    Signaling for Rey to open the door, Rey then did as he was told.


    With the door now open, the innkeeper then entered with a kettle of hot water before cing it on a


    table.


    Watching as the innkeeper smiled at both of them, Gerald then faked a smile as he said, “My, my! How


    thoughtful of you to deliver hot water to us!”


    Chuckling in response, the innkeeper then replied, “It’s only right for me to do so for my customers!


    Regardless, I’m here to tell you not to head out the inn at night… It’s not too safe out there in the dark.


    Try to just stay in your rooms!”


    Upon hearing that, Gerald and Rey exchanged nces again, wondering what the innkeeper was on


    about.


    “Boss-”


    “Got it, boss! We appreciate the warning!” said Gerald as he cut Rey’s sentence short.


    Nodding in response, the innkeeper then replied, “Good to hear! Also, if there’s anything you need in


    the night, don’t hesitate to call me!”


    After saying that, the duo then watched as the innkeeper left their room…


    Stepping out to make sure that the innkeeper had gone downstairs, the confirmation that he was really


    gone made Gerald breathe a sigh of relief as he closed the door again.


    “About what you did earlier…” muttered Rey.


    “Some things aren’t meant to be asked so bluntly, Rey. Remember that,” said Gerald.


    Briefly nodding, Rey then asked, “Got it, brother Gerald. Either way… After what just happened, do you


    still think that the innkeeper is a bad person…?”
