Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1898 Regardless, after hearing what Gerald had to say, both Rey and Yann instantly drew in cold breaths.
” A-are you saying that we’ll end up like them, Mr. Crawford…? Are we going to die here…?” muttered Rey, looking incredibly anxious now. “Hey now, don’t go jinxing us again! Have a bit more faith in Gerald! I’m sure he’ll think of a way to get us out of here!” retorted Yann.
“I wonder about that… Based on what we’ve gathered after looking around, it pains me to say that there’s a pretty high chance that we really will die trapped here!” replied Gerald.
Hearing that, Rey and Yann’s eyes instantly widened. While it was expected for Rey to say things like that, when Gerald said it, it was simply depressing…
Regardless, after saying that, Gerald then continued walking deeper into the cave. After all, with how massive the cave was, there was still a chance that there existed another exit at the end…
Naturally, Rey and Yann followed him, and it wasn’t too long after when the trio began hearing the crisp and pleasant sounds of water dripping deeper inside the cave…
There was just something extremely calming about those beautiful dripping sounds… They certainly weren’t sounds one could hear in the city.
“You hear that, Mr. Crawford? What beautiful sounds!” said Rey in an almost dreamy tone.
“I know, right? The dripping sounds alone makes me feel like I’m drunk in the middle of an enchanted forest!” added Yann, a lethargic grin on his face.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but raise a brow as he turned around to look at his two intoxicated-looking allies… While Gerald personally felt that the dripping sounded normal, he could instantly tell that the sounds were affecting the other two, almost hypnotically…
With that in mind, he quickly began shaking the duo by their shoulders while yelling, “Hey, snap out of it! There’s something wrong with the dripping sounds! Rey, Yann! Wake up!”
However, it was useless. Both of them were completely unresponsive…
Sighing in resignation, Gerald decided to return to where Tye and his men were. At the very least, they could help him carry Rey and Yann to a safer spot…
To Gerald’s dismay, Tye and his men had apparently already fallen under the same hypnotic spell as Rey and Yann! Simply standing in place with goofy expressions on their faces, none of them seemed capable of even registering whatever Gerald said or did to them…
From the looks of it, as long as the dripping sounds persisted, none of them would ever snap out of it. With that in mind, Gerald knew that the only way to bring them back to their senses was by looking for the source of the sounds and eliminating it.
Still, to think that everyone else—who had previously been trapped in here—had fallen victim to the dripping sounds as well…
With how sheepishly everyone was grinning, Gerald could guess that the hypnotic effects were somewhat euphoric. To be filled with bliss till the second one died… What a cruel murder tactic…
Shaking his head, Gerald then quickly began heading toward the deepest part of the cave where the dripping sounds seemed to emanate from…
