Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1858
“…I’m sure there’s a way across! It just hasn’t shown itself yet!” declared Gerald as he immediately began
searching for ways to cross the large oceans.
Seeing that, Rey began doing the same. However, even after quite a while had passed, they were unable to find
any suitable modes of transportation.
With that, the duo could only sit by the beach, hoping for a miracle to appear…
“…Say, Mr. Crawford…? Do you really think that a ship will come if we just wait around…?” muttered Rey as he
looked at the sky.
“I believe in miracles, so yes. Yes, I do,” replied Gerald in a confident tone.

Getting to their feet, the duo watched wide-eyed as the ocean began bubbling and the waves began to part…!
Within seconds, what appeared to be a solidified watery path appeared right atop the ocean’s surface!
Exchanging glances with each other, the delighted Gerald couldn’t help but say, “See? Miracles do exist!”
Before Rey could even reply, Gerald was already rushing over to the watery path… and upon stepping on it, Gerald
felt that the path—that was formed by seawater—was soft to walk on, almost as though he was walking on an air
cushion…
Seeing that it was safe to walk on, Rey quickly ran after Gerald… And after realizing that he too could walk on
water, Rey couldn’t help but exclaim, “How… How truly magical, Mr. Crawford…!”
This was naturally a first for Rey, which explained why he was so shocked. Still, to think that he would be able to
actually experience walking on water in his lifetime! Such scenes were usually reserved for television dramas!
Whatever the case was, both of them quickly began proceeding across the watery path… and after walking for
about ten minutes, the duo was finally able to see the sole piece of land at the end of Quay Waves…
The land, of course, was the territory of the Phangrottom Clan, and aside from Gerald and Rey, only seven other
spirit explorers had ever managed to come this far…
Either way, the second they stepped on land, the watery path behind them quickly disappeared…
Noticing the presence of a stone tablet to their left, the duo walked over and saw that the words, ‘Phangrottom
Clan’ had been carved into it. Beside the tablet, was a gigantic stone statue that was modeled after one of the past
rulers of the Phangrottom Clan. From how grand it looked, it was evident that the statue symbolized how supreme
the ruler was…
Regardless, upon confirming that they were at the right place, Rey couldn’t help but exclaim, “We’re finally here,
Mr. Crawford! To think that we’d make it here in one piece!”

Nodding in response, Gerald then retrieved the key to the large entrance of the Phangrottom Clan’s territory—that
he had obtained from Torme—before inserting it into the door…
After turning it, a loud rumble could be heard as the large entrance began shaking rather violently… and within
seconds, the entrance to the Phangrottom Clan’s territory was opened.
The first sight that greeted them was several statues that appeared to be modeled after individuals from the
Phangrottom Clan. For some reason, Gerald felt that the statues had been placed there for a reason…
Either way, thanks to how perceptive Gerald was, he was able to realize in time that a volley of arrows had just
been shot toward them from inside!
“Duck!” yelled Gerald as he immediately pushed Rey to the side of the entrance.
Gerald himself was just in time to have his back against the opposite side of the entrance as hundreds of arrows
began shooting out!
Had Gerald reacted any slower, both of them would’ve surely ended up becoming arrow-filled corpses by now…!
