Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1852
As expected, this bamboo broke instantly as well, and by conquering it, Gerald now understood the meaning of life.
Essentially, one’s life was like the four seasons since everyone experienced birth, sicknesses, and eventually death.
It was simply according to the seasonal cycle. While one would definitely experience other things as well, nobody
would truly be able to change their fate in the seasonal cycle of life.
Regardless, Torme himself was now smiling widely after watching Gerald successfully break the second soul
bamboo. This youth wasn’t disappointing him in the least!
Whatever the case was, Gerald didn’t even wait for Torme to say anything before moving on to touch the third soul
bamboo.

stunned when he realized that standing before him, was a doppelganger!
“…And you are?” asked Gerald.
“Heh! I’m just you!” replied the other Gerald as he revealed a subtle smile.
“What? If you’re me, then who am I?” said Gerald.
“You’re me, and I’m you. There’s nothing technical about that! We’re simply the same person! Even so, we’re
different from the way we view things!” explained the other Gerald.
“…Different views? Elaborate,” replied Gerald.
Chuckling in response, the other Gerald then said, “To put it in layman terms, I’m your dark side! A fancier name
would make me your inner demon!”
As it turned out, the lookalike was a manifestation of his inner demons! This must be the third soul bamboo’s test!
With that in mind, Gerald had a hunch that as long as he managed to defeat the demon, he would be able to fully
understand this soul bamboo.
“Whatever the case is, you’re an idiot, Gerald. Why the hell didn’t you just pick Rey in exchange for the key to the
large entrance of the Phangrottom Clan territory? Picking yourself… You could’ve died you know?” added the other
Gerald in a gloomy tone.
Upon hearing that, Gerald stared at his inner demon for a while before retorting, “As if I’d ever use my friends as
bargaining chips! I’ll never sacrifice them!”
“You utter buffoon! That Rey? He’s just a prick and you know it! You could’ve easily gotten rid of him for good! How
stupid do you have to be for me to spell it out for you?!” scowled the inner demon as he glared at Gerald.

“Shut it! You’re just my inner demon! In the end, I’m the one who decides on what I think!” growled Gerald who was
getting fed up with his inner self.
Upon hearing that, the inner demon instantly roared in laughter as everything around them turned pitch black. The
scene was nothing short of terrifying…
“Talk big, will you? Look, I can easily just swallow you up, you know? Once that happens, you’ll be beneath me your
entire life!” scoffed the inner demon as he smiled wickedly while staring at the youth.
Before Gerald could even reply, his eyes widened as his other self summoned an incredibly familiar-looking sword…
“…The Astrabyss Sword?!” yelled Gerald, feeling slightly stunned that the demon could also wield the legendary
weapon.
“Things could have gone much differently, Gerald! But due to how idiotic you are, you only have yourself to blame!
I’m vanquishing you for good so that I’ll be the rightful owner of your body and mind!”
