Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1375
“…The boss is here?” asked Chester, unsure how to even react to that statement.
“Hahaha! It won’t be long before we’re saved! Just you f*cking wait, you Gunters! Once we’re free, I’m definitely setting this place on fire!” growled Aiden in rage.
A little while later, Felton and Yume arrived at Yreth’s room.
Upon entering, he found that the layout of the room wasn’t particularly complicated. Quite minimalistic, in fact. The only notable things in there were a desk at one side of the room and a shelf behind it.
“…Is this where the secret room is…?” asked Felton.
“It should be… After all, Grandma has two secret rooms, as far as I’m aware of. I’m not sure whether you know about this or not, but grandma had a secret room that was accessible through her special study. It was where she imprisoned the woman in white. As for this room… I once caught grandma exiting from behind the shelf when I was much younger… With that in mind, there should be some contraption here that opens a path behind the shelf. If it’s anything similar to the way grandma revealed the secret room in her study, then…”
As Yume’s voice trailed off, Gerald watched as she walked to the side of the study before holding onto a pen’s cap—that was on the table—and twisting it slightly…
A brief ‘click’ was heard, and all of a sudden, the shelf began trembling as it slowly slid to the side, revealing a darkened hole leading underground!
Noticing how surprised she looked, Gerald then asked, “…Didn’t you say you saw her exit that place before…?”
“Well, I did… But it’s vastly different from the secret room entrance that I remember as a child… Besides, can’t you feel that…? The strange coldness coming from the hole…” muttered Yume in her bewilderment.
“…Whatever the case is, let’s enter first… Follow me!”
Quite honestly, Gerald himself had felt a chill run down his spine as well. There was just some sort of extraordinary aura that the hole emitted… and whatever it was, it scared Gerald greatly.
