Chapter 1903


    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1903


    Hearing Gerald’s order, Rey and Yann immediately began bolting away from the scene. Unfortunately


    for them, their sudden movement only served to make the monster even more excited!


    Realizing that the monster had its eyes on him, Rey began running even faster as he yelled, “P-please


    stop chasing after me…!”


    As expected, all that shouting simply caused the beast to increase its speed as it continued bolting


    toward Rey!


    Realizing that the monster was now inches away from Rey, Gerald quickly summoned the Astrabyss


    Sword before tossing it toward the beast!


    The second the sword sessfully cut through the monster’s flesh, it let out a mighty roar of pain!


    Following that, it turned to re at Gerald before charging for him next!


    Despite how intimidating it was, Gerald kept his cool and resummoned the de into his hand.


    Once the monster was only a few steps away from him, Gerald—who had positioned himself to strike


    by now—bolted toward it as well!


    Ducking exactly in front of the monster, Gerald managed to get right underneath it… and seeing the


    perfect chance, Gerald then raised his sword, causing the monster to literally gut itself as its sliced


    open belly ran through the de!


    With blood gushing all over the ce, the monster released one final roar before flopping heavily into a


    puddle of its own blood… Seeing that Gerald had managed to take it down, Rey and Yann immediately


    breathed sighs of relief.


    Quickly returning to Gerald’s side, Rey instantly asked in a concerned tone, “A-are you alright, Mr.


    Crawford…?”


    Putting away the sword, Gerald then turned to face Rey before replying, “I’m fine!”


    Though neither of them said it, they were both relieved that they had Gerald with them. Otherwise, they


    would’ve surely ended up as monster food! Thinking back, their bones would probably end up in the


    river as well…


    Shaking the terrifying thought off, Rey then stared at its carcass before muttering, “…What the hell


    even is that beast…? While I want to call it a tiger, it isn’t exactly one either!”


    After giving the monster a better look, the trio saw that the hideous beast had two long and thin fangs in


    its mouth. While it did slightly resemble a tiger, everyone knew that that wasn’t the case.


    “You know, it sort of looks like Taotie… don’t you think? That mythological monster? But that’s just


    nonsense… There’s no way it could exist, right…?” said Yann after observing it for a little longer.


    Upon hearing that, Rey looked like he wanted to say something. However, Gerald beat him to it and


    replied, “And why couldn’t it? After all, if ghosts can exist, why not Taoties?” Hearing Gerald’s


    statement, Rey couldn’t help but nod. After all, since ghosts existed, pretty much everything else could


    exist.


    At that moment, a group of inly dressed people suddenly rushed out from the forest and surrounded


    the trio!


    While they initially kept firm gazes on Gerald and his party, upon seeing the dead Taotie on the ground,


    they instantly appeared shocked before looking back at the three men with fearful eyes… It was almost? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    as though they were looking at strange animals…


    Regardless, the group of people weren’t the only ones shocked.


    The trio found themselves surprised as well when they realized that all the people were wearing


    traditional garments. In fact, ‘ancient’ was probably a better word…


    Though there was a brief silence, an old man—holding onto a walking stick—soon walked out from the


    crowd…


    Momentarily looking at the fresh carcass, the old man then asked, “…If I may, where did youe


    from, gentlemen…?”
