Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1782
“Eh, it’s already so late! I’m sure the person you are waiting for will not come. Come, let’s go to my place and rest!”
The old man sighed and proposed to the three.
When Old Flint heard him, he turned around immediately and looked at Gerald, seeking his opinion.
Gerald saw his reaction and nodded subtly.
Since they had no other choice, for now, they could only rest at the old man’s place.
Besides, the sky was already very dark, and it was not safe. Who knew what would be lingering outside?
After the conversation, Gerald and the others followed the old man and left the wooden cottage.
The old man brought Gerald and the others to his house. Although it was not very old, it looked like it should have been rebuilt before.
“Old man, are you the only one left in the village?”
Once they were in the old man’s house, Old Flint asked curiously.
“Hehe!” The old man chuckled.
“Yes. The others have moved into the cities already. I’m the only one left here!”
After he chuckled, he answered.
“Then, why didn’t you move into the city? Isn’t it more comfortable living in the city?”
Old Flint continued to ask.
“Alas, I have no relatives or children. I don’t want to live in the city anyway. It’s good living here. I’m used to living here!” The old man spoke with a bitter smile.
They could hear the helplessness in the old man’s voice.
Having no family member at an old age was indeed pitiful.
Perhaps this was the destiny of this old man. He was destined to live in the mountains for his whole life. It was not bad for fallen leaves to return to their roots.
“Right, who are you waiting for actually?”
The old man asked Old Flint.
“Old man, did you know that Yamilet Faes has a grandson named Ember Lord?”
After a pause, Old Flint asked the old man.
Once the old man heard that, he was startled for a moment, and then he said, “Yes, I know him. Speaking about Ember Lord, he is indeed a good young lad. He was the one who spent money to help me rebuild my house. He used to be an obedient boy. Sometimes, he would stay here with his grandmother. Sometimes, he would come to my place to play with me. However, after his grandmother passed away, he has never come back!”
The old man sighed as he recounted his story.
“Oh? Old man, did you find anything strange lately? Or maybe something happened in the wooden cottage of Yamilet Faes?”
After that, Old Flint asked the old man.
Since the old man knew Ember Lord, the number Ember Lord had given them would not be that simple.
“I didn’t hear anything. I would pass by the wooden cottage every day when I go up and down the hill, but I’ve never heard any noise.”
The old man said to Old Flint.
“You guys are asking about it so much. What is happening here exactly? What has Ember Lord done?”
The old man asked in confusion.
“It’s nothing, old man. We’re his friends. It’s just that we couldn’t keep in touch with him lately, so we wanted to come here and check if he is here!”
Old Flint quickly made up an excuse to explain it to the old man.
“Oh, I see.”
After the old man heard his explanation, he didn’t suspect anything and simply nodded his head.
Gerald and the others sat in the house until late at night.
However, none of them fell asleep.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but it was because they didn’t dare to.
If they fell asleep, nobody knew what would happen, much less if Ember Lord would appear.
Creak!
Suddenly, the door was opened.
After the sound of the door being opened was heard, the sound of the door being closed was heard immediately after.
