Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1801
“…Both of you, stay here. I’m heading there to have a look!” instructed Gerald as he got up and took his empty
glass before walking in the direction where the four men were sitting.
Since the customers had to refill their own drinks in this restaurant, it was perfectly normal for Gerald to get more
water for himself. On his return trip, however, he made sure to ‘accidentally’ drop his glass right next to the four
men’s table!
Seeing that some of the water had accidentally splashed onto a few of the men’s pants, Gerald quickly reached for
the glass while ‘apologetically’ saying, “I-I’m sorry!”
In response, one of the men simply got Gerald’s glass for him before handing it back to the youth while saying, “It’s

“I-I will!” replied Gerald as he noticed the tattoo on the man’s wrist while taking his glass back.
Following that, he then hurried back to his dining table. The second he sat down, however, his expression instantly
turned slightly unpleasant…
Noticing the change in his mood, Juno was prompted to ask, “…What’s wrong, Gerald? Did you manage to gather
anything…?”
“…Well, for one, those aren’t ordinary people… They belong to the Soul Hunter organization!” whispered Gerald.
“The Soul Hunters? That’s them? To think they’d be here as well!” replied the shocked Juno in a hushed voice.
Raising a slight brow, Rey then asked, “…Um… Who exactly are the Soul Hunters…?”
As the name suggested, the Soul Hunters were an organization that specialized in hunting and killing ghosts and
spirits. Naturally, they also possessed special equipment that would help them detect the presence of what they
hunted.
Regardless, Gerald ignored Rey’s question before saying, “…Since they’re looking for the Demonic Blood Clan’s
territory, they’re definitely after the token of Demonic Blood as well…”
If that group managed to get their hands on the token, then the consequences would be near unimaginable… After
all, they would be able to rule over every ghost and spirit on the planet! Things would surely go out of hand by then!
With that in mind, there was no way Gerald was going to let them have their way.
“Figured as much… Still, what are we going to do now? Are we getting rid of them?” asked Juno.
Shaking his head, Gerald then replied, “Negative. While it’s true that there are only four of them, if I attack them
now, I fear that the entire Soul Hunter organization will come after us to have their revenge. That wouldn’t be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeneficial at all. With that in mind, I propose that we spy on them first.”
Hearing that, Juno could only agree.
With that, the trio then returned to their rooms to rest after their meal.
Well, Juno and Rey did. Gerald himself simply couldn’t allow himself to remain idle. With that, he began meditating…
and soon enough, he was able to have an out-of-body experience. With his mind now free to explore, Gerald—who
was now invisible to the naked eye—immediately began searching for the four Soul Hunters again.
It didn’t take long for him to find them, but by that point, all four of them were already sneakily leaving the hotel
despite how late it was.
Watching as they entered the darkness, Gerald knew that he had to tail them.
A few minutes later, the group of Soul Hunters found themselves approaching a forest… And standing before that
forest, was a mysterious-looking cloaked figure who had his back against them… It was evident that he was waiting
there for them…
Seeing him, the four Soul Hunters then hurriedly stood at attention—behind the man—before respectfully declaring,
“Leader!”
