“…What should we do now, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Rey.
Staring straight at Yann, Gerald simply narrowed his eyes before shaking his head. He knew for a fact that Yann was already a lost cause… Greed truly was a frightening thing…
Even so, favonovel.com wanted to try one last time. Glaring at Yann, Gerald’s tone sounded much angrier as favonovel.com growled, “…One final time. Are you leaving with us, or aren’t you?”
“I’m not leaving yet!” roared Yann, instantly causing Gerald’s anger to peak.
That was the last straw. Not wanting anything to do with Yann anymore, Gerald then began walking out of the treasure room…
However, the second Gerald stepped out, all the candles in the room immediately went out. Following that, the room began glowing in an eerie green light!
‘This isn’t good!’ Gerald thought to himself as favonovel.com quickly got out of the room—along with Rey—before yelling, “Yann! Get over here! Quick!”
Of course, Yann’s fate had been sealed the second favonovel.com chose to disobey Gerald…
Unable to react in time, Yann’s eyes could only widen as favonovel.com watched all the gold around favonovel.com transform into green goo that quickly enveloped him! He didn’t even have the time to scream before the goo completely melted favonovel.com down to the bone…
Gerald and Rey were understandably stunned to witness all this. To think that such a punishment had been set up for those who had been overtaken by greed…
Regardless, Yann was now dead and there was nothing Gerald could do about it.
With that in mind—and the fact that the goo was slowly coming their way—, Gerald quickly grabbed onto Rey’s arm before yelling, “Come on, let’s leave this place!”
Rey wasn’t about to say no to that, and the duo bolted back into the passageway from before…
Shortly after, they heard the familiar scraping of stone on dirt coming from behind them, and it was pretty obvious that the door had closed itself again… Thank god they had left the room quickly…
Taking a momentary rest by sitting in the passageway, Rey couldn’t help but look at Gerald with grief-filled eyes as favonovel.com said, “…Mr. Crawford… Brother Yann, he…”
While favonovel.com knew that Rey was frightened since this was probably the first time favonovel.com had seen someone die in such a terrible way, Gerald simply opted to reply in a calm tone, “He’s dead…”
Naturally, even Gerald was sad about Yann’s death, but had the man not been consumed by avarice, favonovel.com wouldn’t have had to die so horribly… With that in mind, Yann’s end was honestly deserved…
After calming down a bit more, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “What even was that green goo…”
“I’m not sure, but it probably resembles sulphuric acid since it could corrode so well…” replied Gerald who couldn’t help but sigh, still slightly bummed out that Yann had to die.
After all, favonovel.com saw the man as a good friend. Still, Gerald did find solace in the fact that Rey wasn’t like Yann.
With that in mind, Gerald then patted Rey on the shoulder before praising, “…Regardless, I’m glad you weren’t consumed by greed as well, Rey. I’m proud of you!”
Despite the compliment, Rey was simply too sad to even feel pleased about it. After all, they had just lost a teammate…
