    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1827


    Upon arriving downstairs, all four of them were greeted by the sight of the innkeeper tied to a chair, his


    lowered head making it evident that he had fallen unconscious…


    “…Huh? What… on earth happened to him, brother Gerald…?” asked the surprised Rey.


    Chuckling in response, Gerald then smiled faintly as he replied, “He’s just passed out from shock, I’d


    say!”


    Following that, Gerald got a ss of water before sshing it all over the innkeeper’s face!


    Immediately waking up, the innkeeper’s expression turned fearful as he began screaming, “G-ghost…!


    Ghosts…!”


    However, before he could scream any further, he received a tight p on his left cheek from Gerald!


    Gerald had done so to calm the innkeeper down, and as he had predicted, it worked. Now pacified, the


    dazed innkeeper couldn’t help but stare at the four individuals standing before him…


    Since Gerald’s physical form was vastly different from his ghost form, the innkeeper wasn’t able to


    realize that Gerald had done the deed earlier. With that in mind, the innkeeper could only ask in a


    shaky voice, “…Who… Who the hell are you people…?”


    Hearing that, Gerald was slightly pleased. After all, the fact that the innkeeper didn’t know that he was


    the culprit of the earlier incidents meant that Gerald could get off scot-free.

    Regardless, Gerald didn’t want to waste too much time with him. With that, he red at the innkeeper


    before asking, “Before that… Tell us, boss. What exactly is your rtionship with Mr. Panther…?”


    Upon hearing that, the innkeeper instantly lowered his head, clearly not daring to say a word.


    “Hmm? Not willing to cooperate? I don’t mind. Just so you know, I’m skilled in the art of torture! Mark


    my words, you’ll talk sooner orter!” sneered Gerald rather excitedly as he summoned his Astrabyss


    Sword. He had honestly been waiting for a chance to finally use sadistic tactics to force a vile individual


    to confess.


    Staring wide-eyed at the sword, the innkeeper could help but gulp before meekly saying, “I-I’ll talk…!


    Just don’t hurt me…! Look, Mr. Panther and I are partners! He started this inn and I’m responsible for


    managing it! Every time someone stays at the inn, I’ve to inform him about it! With that done, what


    usually follows is that I’ll use my bewitching incense to make the customers fall into a deep slumber…


    And when they wake up, they’ll find themselves under his control! By that point, Mr. Panther can freely


    begin extorting money from the customers!”


    As it turned out, the inn they had chosen to stay in belonged to some kind of gangster who extorted his


    customer’s money! Unfortunately for Mr. Panther and the innkeeper, they hadn’t anticipated having to


    deal with Gerald and his party… As a result, Mr. Panther ended up tragically losing his life…


    Whatever the case was, Rey then stepped forward, ring at the innkeeper as he angrily asked, “Tell


    me… Just how many times have you done this…?”


    “J-just three times…! After all, not many peoplee to our inn in the first ce…!” cried out the


    terrified innkeeper.


    “So that makes us the third group, then?” asked Rey.


    “N-no… you’re actually the fourth…” muttered the innkeeper… only to receive a tight p across his


    other cheek the second his sentence ended!


    Though Rey had just pped him, the innkeeper was far too terrified to even make a sound…
