Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1849
Just as Gerald was bracing for death to hit him, he stared wide-eyed as his surroundings reverted to
how they had previously been.
“Congrattions, Gerald! You’ve passed the fourth test!” dered Torme with a smile as he walked
toward Gerald.
Surprised, Gerald couldn’t help but mutter, “I… passed the test…?”
“Indeed, you have!” replied Torme with a nod.
“Then… was self-sacrifice the answer to that test…?” asked the confused Gerald.
“Not really. Rather than testing your willingness to sacrifice yourself, it was a test to see whether you’d
choose your desires over your friends’ lives. Now that I’ve seen that you’re clearly one who cares
greatly for yourrades, I can safely say that you’ve passed this test!” exined Torme.
After hearing that, Gerald realized that had he chosen any other option, he would’ve surely failed the
test! However, the even bigger shock came when Torme added, “Also, had you chosen any of your
three friends earlier, they would have died for real! With that in mind, you’ve essentially saved their
lives!”
So… If he had chosen any of his friends, they would have perished just like that…? The thought of it
alone sent shivers down his spine…

“Regardless, you truly are the kindest and most powerful person I’ve met to date… Now, for the final
test… Are you ready?” asked Torme.
Taking a deep breath, Gerald then replied, “Bring it on!”
Nodding in response, Torme then waved his hand… and in the blink of an eye, Gerald found himself
standing within a bamboo forest.
Confused, Gerald was prompted to ask, “…And… This is…?”
“The bamboos in this forest are known as soul bamboo. You’ll pass the final test if you manage to
break a few of them,” exined Torme.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but raise a brow. After all, bamboo in general was pretty easy
to snap.
“Isn’t… the fifth test a little too easy…?” asked Gerald in a confident tone.
Chuckling in response, Torme then calmly replied, “Go ahead and do so, then!”
Hearing that, Gerald then stood before a soul bamboo… and after taking in a deep breath, he swung
the side of his hand toward the bamboo in one fluid but powerful motion!
Though a loud collision sound was heard due to the immense force Gerald had applied, the soul
bamboo barely moved an inch.
Naturally, this stunned Gerald. To think that he would be unable to snap the soul bamboo… No wonder
Torme had been so calm!
“Hmm? Didn’t you say it was going to be easy…? All jokes aside, do understand that each soul
bamboo hosts different meanings. Only after you understand the bamboo’s meaning and principles will
you be able to break it. In a way, fortune ys a ratherrge part in this,” added Torme as he looked at
Gerald with an interested gaze…
Quickly catching onto the hint that Torme had just given him, Gerald then replied, “Then… How should I
ess the meaning behind this soul bamboo?”
