Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2373
“D-despite how dangerous our trip was, we actually managed to get here…! Congratulations, Patriarch! Mr.
Gerald!” exclaimed several of the overjoyed Zemans. After all, they were about to be part of the rare few who
had ever entered Fyre Cave and
located the saintly ruins!
“Indeed! If we manage to cross the Red River, we’ll be the first to have achieved that feat! ” declared Walter as he

old man leap off the wall before casually landing on his feet…
“…R-Ryder…?! Haven’t I injured you heavily enough?! How dare you still enter Fyre Cave?! ” growled Walter, his

“…With how familiar you are with this place, why don’t you just head in? You don’t even need the Zeman family’s

River, even after all these years! Every attempt I make simply leads to me almost dying! Regardless, I’ve waited
this long since I know that the method of crossing the river is either written on the Zeman family’s map, or has
been memorized by Walter! ” said Ryder—who was still sitting cross-legged—before going silent for a while…
After only a few breaths, the rosiness in his pale cheeks returned, instantly shocking both Gerald and Walter!
