The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1909

Atop one of the many piles of treasure, lay a treasure chest... and upon seeing it, Gerald immediately knew that what he was looking for was in there.

As he had predicted, it truly was here! Now that it was so close to him, there was no way he was going to be able to hold himself back from obtaining it!

With that, Gerald paid little attention to what Rey and Yann were doing and simply walked toward the treasure chest...

Watching as seemingly endless amounts of gold coins slid down from the mountain of treasures that Gerald was slowly climbing, Yann couldn't help but get even more excited. Taking his backpack off, he immediately began filling it with piles upon piles of treasures! After all, he had never seen this many gold coins in a single place before, so he simply couldn't help himself...

While Rey-who had been standing at the side-was equally as excited to see all that gold, he knew better than to do what Yann was doing.

After all, Gerald had told him not to touch things at random, and he wasn't about to disobey him.

Regardless, Gerald finally made it to the top of the mountain of coins at that moment...

Upon opening the treasure chest, he was greeted by the sight of a crystal clear, emerald-green jade pendant that was shaped like a butterfly... This was it... he had finally found it!

Gerald was the only one who knew what the pendant was used for, so he wasn't too worried about Yann wanting to take it. Still, it was better to be safe than sorry, so Gerald quickly hid it in his clothes. Nobody could ever learn that he had obtained the item...

Whatever the case was, now that he had obtained the pendant, he slid down the mountain of gold coins, fully prepared to leave as he called out, "Alright, we've found what we were looking for, now let's head back!"

"What? Are you seriously telling me that you wish to leave just like that?" retorted Yann. Stopping in his tracks, Gerald raised a slight brow as he turned to look at Yann before saying, "If I recall correctly, I specifically remember telling you not to touch any of the treasures here!"

"I know, I know, but... all this treasure, Gerald...! If we get all this out of here, we'll be able to live the rest of our lives without worry!" replied Yann in an enthusiastic tone.

Sensing the glint of avarice in Yann's eyes, Gerald could already tell that Yann was dangerously close to completely losing himself to greed.

"V'ILonly say it one more time. We're leaving now, and we're not taking anything else back with us!" declared Gerald in a solemn tone.

"I refuse! After all, I saw you take something for yourself! If you can do it, why can't I?" scowled Yann.

Realizing that Yann had noticed him taking the jade, Gerald was slightly tongue-tied. How was he even going to explain that the pendant had a much greater value than all those treasures...? Seeing that Gerald was having trouble, Rey then yelled, "Brother Yann, please just listen to Mr. Crawford! I'm sure he has his reasons for disallowing you to take any of them back!"

Unfortunately, Yann was already completely consumed by greed by this point.

"Over my dead body! Since you don't want them so much, fine! They all belong to me now! Mark my words, I'm definitely getting all of them out today if it's the last thing I do!" howled Yann as though he had gone insane. "You...!" growled Rey as he turned to look at Gerald, understanding that Yann would no longer take advice from anyone...
