Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1793
While they were on their way there, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “So… mind filling me in, Mr. Crawford…?”
Turning to look at Rey for a moment, Gerald then replied, “Remember that call from yesterday?”
Nodding in response, Rey then said, “I do. That person said he wanted to play a game with you… Don’t tell me it’s
already started?”
“It has. That person has challenged me to rescue six hostages, and I’ve already rescued one this morning. We’re
currently on our way to rescue the second one!” explained Gerald.
Hearing that, Rey found himself momentarily speechless. No wonder Gerald hadn’t been around this morning… He

Disregarding how stunned Rey looked, Gerald then added, “Either way, that phrase I told you to investigate earlier,
‘There’s no money being hidden here,’ directly relates to the second hostage’s location, which is why we’re
currently targeting the bank near the tax building!”
Just as Gerald completed his explanation, both of them arrived at the entrance of the tax building.
After getting off, the duo began looking around for the bank, and soon enough, they found it. However, since it was
the weekend, the bank was closed, and only the self-service bank—at the side—remained open.
“Closed, huh… What should we do now, Mr. Crawford?” mumbled Rey as he looked at Gerald.
“I’m sure the culprit anticipated the bank being closed today as well. With that in mind, the second hostage should
be within the only operational part of a bank on a weekend, that being….”
“The self-service bank!” yelled the duo at the same time.
Now that they had come to this conclusion, both men rushed into the self-service bank and immediately began
looking around.
A short while later, Rey—who had searched high and low for clues of where the hostage could be—couldn’t help but
say, “…There doesn’t appear to be anyone here, Mr. Crawford… Could we have been mistaken…?”
“Negative. I’m sure Juno made the right guess!” replied Gerald without any hesitation.
The hostage was definitely here. They just hadn’t found them yet.
Thankfully, since there weren’t too many people around—due to it being the weekend—after the duo went silent for
a while, they were able to hear faint knocking sounds coming from behind them!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurning around, Rey perked his ears… before pointing at one of the ATM machines and shouting, “It’s coming from
the third ATM, Mr. Crawford!”
Nodding in agreement, both of them then hurried over to the machine…
As Gerald squatted and began investigating the ATM, the duo was caught slightly off guard when they heard a voice
coming from the area where one would usually slip their cards into!
The voice itself was feminine, and it was calling out in a weak voice, “H-help… Please…”
Hearing that, Rey instantly yelled, “We’ve found the second hostage! We really did come to the right place!”
“Indeed, but it’s too early to be celebrating! Go call the Grand Council, Rey! Tell them to send people over to open
this machine up!” ordered Gerald.
“Roger that!” replied Rey as he quickly fished his phone out and began calling the Grand Council…
