    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1895


    “Just let the boy be, Gerald. I, for one, appreciate his liveliness since all there is out here is miles upon


    miles of boring scenic views…” said Yann.


    Upon hearing that, Gerald could only sigh in agreement. After all, it was estimated that at least two


    hours were needed before the group would be able to cover five miles and finally arrive at the Officer


    Viewing Deck. With that in mind, Gerald had to admit that Rey’s childishness would—at the very least


    —keep the trek amusing…


    Regardless, it was almost noon by the time the group arrived at the Officer Viewing Deck.


    The Officer Viewing Deck was located quite high on Mount Dakriont, and it allegedly got its name due


    to the fact that an officer used toe up here to enjoy the view, many centuries ago. While that was


    the formal name of the viewing deck, it was also colloquially known as the cloud viewing tform. As


    the name suggested, all sorts of clouds could be seen from up here as well.


    Whatever the case was, upon arriving, Tye turned to look at the others before saying, “Alright


    everyone, we’ve arrived! Let’s take a short break and have something to eat first! Bear in mind that


    we’ll start taking the rough mountain path after this.”


    While the others seemed to agree, Gerald, on the other hand, walked toward Tye before asking, “Could


    I please have a look at the map, Chairman Lamano?” Though he was surprised to hear that request,


    Tye handed the map to Gerald.


    “Thank you!” replied Gerald before immediately inspecting the map.


    “Is something the matter, Mr. Crawford…?” asked the curious Tye.


    A short whileter, Gerald then pointed at the map before saying, “Well, after looking through the map,


    I feel that we could’ve arrived at our destination sooner if we didn’t take the path to the Officer Viewing


    Deck. After all, from this point on, all that awaits us are rough mountain roads, and I can assure you


    that that’ll hinder our progress quite a bit!”


    Upon hearing that, Tye took a closer look at the map… And true to what Gerald had said, they could’ve


    arrived at their destination much sooner if they simply took an alternate path. Why hadn’t he noticed it


    before?


    “I see… Correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Crawford, but are you suggesting that we go all the way back to


    where we started from?” asked Tye.


    “Indeed, though just to rify, it is merely a suggestion. Naturally, you’re the one who will make the final


    call. That’s all I wanted to say, now if you’ll excuse me,” replied Gerald before walking over to where


    Yann and Rey were.


    Gerald wasn’t particrly keen on helping them, to be quite frank. Had it not been for the fact that Yann


    was cooperating with them, Gerald would’ve simply brought Yann and Rey along, making it a


    manageable party of three.


    Regardless, as Tye watched Gerald reunite with his party, Tye himself began pondering what Gerald


    had just said. While it was true that they could technically arrive at their destination faster if they


    backtracked, Tye concluded that backtracking at this point would simply waste even more time.


    With that, Tye made up his mind to simply continue going down the path he had picked. So what if it


    was a little further away? The important thing was for them to arrive at their destination…


    Shortly after, the party resumed their journey. However, it wasn’t too longter when the weather


    suddenly began changing rapidly…


    Seeing how drastic the changes were, Rey couldn’t help but mutter, “Isn’t the weather changing a bit


    too quickly…? It wouldn’t surprise me if we got hit by a sudden thunderstorm!”


    The second Rey’s sentence ended, a low rumble could be heard emanating from the sky, prompting


    the rest of the party to stare at Rey…


    Upon realizing that he shouldn’t have jinxed it, Rey simply lowered his head, feeling rightfully


    embarrassed…


    Even so, Gerald was used to Rey saying things like this. With that, he diverted everyone’s attention


    from Rey by saying, “Regardless, let’s focus on finding somece to escape the rain!”


    After all, walking around so many trees in a thunderstorm was a recipe for disaster… Thankfully, the


    group soon found a cave to take cover in.

    Upon entering, Rey couldn’t help but exim, “Holy! This ce is huge!”


    True to Rey’s words, a few hundred people could probably fit in this ce…
