Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1842
“Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. After all, I trust you way more than that previous group!” added Mr.
Bates when he saw the drastic change in Gerald’s expression.
Though Mr. Bates said that, Gerald was rightfully still slightly worried. After all, who knew whether the
man was telling the truth? Despite his worries, Gerald understood that he still required Mr. Bates’s
guidance for now.
With that in mind, he could only choose to act ordingly. The second Gerald found something amiss
with Mr. Bates, he would surely deal with the man without mercy…
Following that awkward conversation, the group walked for about another hour before finally arriving at
what appeared to be a gigantic Stonehenge lookalike…
Naturally bewildered by the sight of it, Gerald was prompted to ask, “And… this is?”
“This is where the portal that leads to the most feminine ce can be opened. After passing through
that area, you’ll soon be able to find the territory of the Phangrottom n. Mind you, however, that
getting past the most feminine ce isn’t as simple as you’re probably imagining. A weak mind will
easily be overtaken by the many ghosts there, and once that happens, you’ll end up being trapped in
there forever!” exined Mr. Bates in an earnest tone.
Upon hearing that, Gerald then took out the map that Old Flint had given him… And after looking at it
for a while, there was no doubt about it. As it turned out, they really were at the right ce. Mr. Bates
hadn’t been fooling them at all.
With that in mind, Gerald then turned to look at Mr. Bates before asking, “…Then… When will the portal
open?”
“It’ll open in three days. That’s the middle of the month, if you’re curious as to why. Regardless, take
note that the portal will only remain open for three days. If you fail to return before then, you’ll be
trapped there for life, even when the portal reopens in the future!” replied Mr. Bates in a kind tone.
“…Is there no other way we can enter that ce…?” asked Gerald as he looked at Mr. Bates, not
wanting to have to wait for three days. After all, he was sure that there were definitely other ways to
enter the most feminine ce.

Understanding Gerald’s motive, Mr. Bates then said, “Patience is a virtue, young man! However…
Since it was the heavens that fated our meeting, I suppose I could open the portal in advance.
However, note that if I do so, only three of you are allowed to enter. One of you has to stay behind!
Also, you can’t enter alone either. There needs to be at least two of you, that’s just how it is.”
Despite that being the case, Gerald looked utterly delighted.
Watching as Gerald turned to face them, Juno was prompted to say, “Why don’t you and Rey go,
Gerald? I’ll stay out here with Yrsa!”
Hearing that, Gerald thought for a moment before asking, “Say… Since you said that only two to three
people can enter at a time… Could Rey and I enter first before Juno and Yrsa follow behind? That’s
technically entering in pairs, no?”
Since Mr. Bates immediately shook his head, Gerald could only sigh. It was worth a shot.
At that moment, Rey cleared his throat before saying, “…On the contrary, I think you should head there
with Miss Zorn, Mr. Crawford. I’ll stay out here with Yrsa!”
After all, since Juno and Gerald were both trained cultivators, they would be able to look out for each
other more efficiently once they were inside.
To his surprise, Juno quickly replied, “No, it’s too dangerous for you and Yrsa to stay out here without
us. With that in mind, just go along with Gerald. That way, I can protect my disciple as we wait for your
return.”
“I’ll have to agree with Miss Zorn. The two of us are entering, and that’s that!” added Gerald, who was
also worried that Rey and Yrsa would find themselves in deep trouble—if Gerald and Juno entered
together—since neither of them could properly defend themselves.
