Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1857
“…Leave us be! All of you!” ordered Yohr at his soldiers, prompting the phantom soldiers to quickly leave the room…
Once they were gone, Yohr immediately gestured for Gerald and Rey to take a seat before looking at Gerald and asking, “Now then… I wonder how I should address, good sir?”
“I go by Gerald Crawford!”
Nodding in response, Yohr then turned to look at Rey, cueing the boy to add, “You can just call me Rey!”
“I see, I see… A pleasure to meet both of you, Gerald and Rey. I admit that I may have been a bit offensive earlier… With that in mind, I do hope that you don’t take that to heart!” said Yohr in a respectful tone as he smiled subtly.
Upon hearing that, Gerald and Rey were rightfully confused. After all, Yohr’s attitude toward them had just taken a complete one-eighty!
“…We don’t. Regardless, we really are just hoping to pass through Phantom City to accomplish something important elsewhere! With that in mind, I hope you’ll just let us go!” replied Gerald, not wanting to waste any more time than he needed to here. Every second counted when it came to obtaining the Phangrottom Talisman…
“Of course, of course… But before that, I do have a favor I’d like to ask from you!” said Yohr.
“…A favor?” asked Gerald in return.
“Indeed! Essentially, I hope that you’ll bring a Phangrottom Jade back once you’re done with your mission!” said Yohr as he retrieved a sheet of paper from under his armor before handing it to Gerald.
