    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1897


    After a slight pause, Gerald then looked at Tye before replying, “…Fine. Regardless, if you wish to


    leave this ce safely, I implore you to tell your subordinates to be more obedient. No more touching


    things at random! Trigger one more trap and we’ll probably end up stuck in here forever!”


    Knowing that he had made himself extremely clear this time, Gerald then turned around without saying


    another word. Whether or not Tye decided to listen was up to him…


    Momentarily staring at Gerald’s back—as the youth walked off to find another exit—, Tye couldn’t help


    but re at the man who had caused all this. Had he not been so greedy, none of them would be


    trapped here!


    The man himself quickly lowered his head to avert his gaze, not even daring to look Tye in the eye…


    Huffing in response, Tye then looked at all his subordinates before dering, “Alright, listen up! If any


    of you even dare to touch anything at random again, I’Il personally chop your hands off! Got that?”


    With how stern Tye’smand was, his subordinates knew he meant business, prompting each and


    every one of them to quickly nod in response…


    While this was happening, Gerald, Rey, and Yann were already scouting ahead, hoping to find other


    passageways that they could use to leave the cave.


    Unfortunately, even after looking around for quite a while, none of them were able to find another exit


    path! From the looks of it, this ce seemed to be mostly sealed off from the world, save for the one


    exit that was now blocked…


    “Not to be a downer but… there doesn’t seem to be any other exits here…” muttered Rey, clearly


    getting more and more anxious by the minute. “As much as I hate to admit it, Rey’s right! We truly are


    trapped in here!” added Yann before sighing in frustration.


    By this point, Yann was already starting to regret working with Tye to get here. Had he known that one


    of Tye’s men would bring them so much trouble, there was no way in hell he would’ve even considered


    Tye’s assistance!


    “Well, since no other paths exist, let’s take some time to think about the mechanism that caused the


    stone to seal the mouth of the cave in the first ce! After all, there’s no way the cave could’ve ended


    up this perfectly sealed by natural means!” replied Gerald in a calm tone.

    “Agreed. After all, don’t you find it strange that nobody’s discovered this cave before despite the


    abundance of jades and jadeites in here? Honestly, the strangest part about all this is the fact that


    nobody’s excavated this ce yet!” said Ray with a slight frown.


    Had this been any other cave, several people would’ve already flocked here ages ago after finding out


    about all the precious stones in here. If that had happened, then this ce would have surely been left


    barren by now!


    Chuckling in response, Gerald then replied, “The fact that the precious stones in here havergely


    remained untouched makes it obvious that there’s something odd about this ce.”


    The second his sentence ended, the corner of Gerald’s eye suddenly noticed something disturbing.


    Raising a brow, he began walking toward a spot where multiple jades and jadeites were growing… and


    upon closer inspection, it appeared that his eyes hadn’t been ying tricks on him. There were hints of


    human bones inside the jades and jadeites!


    Walking closer to see what Gerald was so interested in, Rey’s eyes instantly widened when he paid


    closer attention to the ‘precious stones’ Gerald was currently staring at.


    “M-Mr. Crawford… Those… are human bones, right…?! Why are they enveloped by the jades and


    jadeites?!” eximed the rightfully shocked Rey.


    “My guess is that after being trapped here like us, this person eventually died. Once he was nothing but


    bones, all it took was a few years for the jades and jadeites to start growing on them!” replied Gerald,


    proposing his theory.


    However, if Gerald’s theory was correct… then that definitely meant that they weren’t the first group to


    get trapped in here. After all, that was the only usible exnation for these bones being here!


    Still, to think that the jades and jadeites here grew with the help of human bones…
