Semua Bab The Secretly Rich Man: Bab 1821 - Bab 1830

Lying on his stomach, Gerald—who was careful to be quiet as he did all this on the roof—then stared into the yard… Only to see that the bespectacled man was now standing right before Mario! How unexpected! From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing something important… While their meeting was already astonishing enough, what happened next truly shocked Gerald. Eyes widened, Gerald could only stare as Mario took a dagger from his jacket and stabbed the bespectacled man right in the chest! Mario seemed to have stabbed the man right in the heart too, since the bespectacled man died almost immediately after… As the bespectacled man flopped lifelessly to the ground, Gerald saw that his eyes were wide open, an evident sign that he wasn’t able to die in peace… Regardless, with the man now dead, Mario then wiped it clean with a cloth that he had brought along before sliding the dagger back into his jacket… Following that, Mario then shouted toward the house, prompting two m

While Rey could tell that something was off about the innkeeper, he simply couldn’t pinpoint what it was, and quite frankly, that was driving him insane. Shaking his head in response, Gerald then replied, “While I’m not too sure where he’s bad or not, I’m at least certain that there’s a problem with him. After all, I saw him constantly looking around our room earlier, almost as though he was searching for something. My guess is that he must have some secret here!” What more, the fact that the innkeeper had told them not to leave their rooms tonight only served to make them more suspicious of him. With that in mind, the curious duo was now keen on unraveling his true nature tonight! “…Let’s head to Miss Zorn’s room for the moment!” said Gerald. Rey was thinking the same thing, and with that, both of them then walked out and began knocking on the door opposite of theirs… “Who is it…?” asked Juno in a similar fashion to how Gerald had asked earlier. It was a clear sign that she

“…Huh? That… That’s impossible! I’m sure they were in this room not too long ago!” exclaimed the puzzled innkeeper. “…Are you trying to make a fool out of me?” growled the clearly pissed off Mr. Panther as he grabbed the innkeeper by his collar! “I-I wouldn’t even dream of pranking you, Mr. Panther! I swear on my life that they really were here earlier!” explained the terrified innkeeper. Before Mr. Panther could even retort, he was suddenly flung out of the room by what appeared to be a sudden strong gust of wind! In truth, the ‘wind’ was, in fact, Gerald, who had just rushed toward Mr. Panther and grabbed the man by his neck! However, since the others couldn’t see Gerald in his current form, the duo could only stare in confusion, completely unaware of what was really happening. Whatever the case was, with one strong squeeze, a sickening snap could be heard… Gerald had just broken Mr. Panther’s neck! Knowing full well now that Mr. Panther had had dirty thoughts on Juno and

“…Well I’ll be d*mned!” declared Rey. “Hmm? What is it, Rey?” asked Gerald as he raised a slight brow. “Well, you never told me before that slapping others could be this fun!” replied Rey with a sheepish grin. Upon hearing that, Gerald and the girls could only roll their eyes in response. What an irritating yet amusing lad… “Let’s not get too childish, shall we?” muttered Gerald with a sigh as Rey laughed embarrassedly while scratching the back of his head. “Regardless, what should we do with him, brother Gerald? Should we dispose of him?” asked Rey as he made a slicing gesture on his neck, evidently hinting at decapitation. “P-please don’t do it, brothers! I now realize the errors in my ways! So please, please, don’t kill me…!” exclaimed the panicking innkeeper as he begged for mercy. To think that him wanting to earn a quick buck would lead to such a life-threatening situation…! He didn’t sign up for this! He didn’t want to die! “Hmm… Well, while he is evil, he’s not

The second his sentence ended, a dazzling flash of purple raced through the sky. With that, the four knew that their only choice was to bear the smell and seek shelter in the cave till the storm ended… “…As much as it pains me to say this, let’s just take cover in that cave first…We’ll continue the journey once the storm dies down!” said Gerald as the trio naturally agreed. After all, with all that lightning in the sky, staying in the cave was definitely the safer option. Their minds made up, the four then went a little deeper in before sitting on the ground. While Juno and Yrsa closed their eyes as they sat arm in arm—while leaning against each other—against the cave’s walls, Gerald and Rey sat on the opposite end to rest instead. Though the stench was terrible, had it not been for the cave, they would’ve gotten drenched in the rain by now… Soon enough, the comforting sound of rain and thunder caused all four of them to relax even further. It was as though all their worrie
