    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 911


    Night came soon enough and it was now quitete.


    However, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of a massive explosion! Present members


    of the Schuyler family were left stunned as they watched mes erupting from where their warehouse


    was located.


    “What the hell is going on?” shouted Noah who had felt the tremor of the explosion alongside Berk and


    a few others. All of them had been seated in the Schuyler family’srge conference hall when the


    explosion took ce.


    “Master, something’s gone terribly wrong! Our warehouse just exploded in mes!” announced a butler


    as he burst into the room where the stunned men were in.


    “What?!” replied Noah as he felt his lips twitch slightly.


    He had reason to be as furious as he currently was. After all, throughout the years, the Schuylers


    hadn’t used their warehouse to store unimportant things. On the contrary, most of their important


    information and documents were stored there!


    “Who is responsible for this?! Who dares do something like this to the Schuyler family?!” roared Noah


    in rage.


    “I-I’ve already sent people over to investigate!” replied the butler instantaneously.


    “That’s good! We must catch the perpetrators if it’s thest thing we do!” growled Noah as he


    immediately led the group of people out of the conference hall.


    As all that was happening, around ten figures could be seen swiftly making their way through the


    forests located near the Schuyler family’s mansion. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at a few tentsThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    that had been pitched rather deep in the forest.


    “Everything is done, Mr. Westley,” said the people as they approached the main tent.


    “Excellent work. Your mission is now aplished. From here on out, we’ll just have to wait and see


    what Mr. Crawford will do next,” replied Quest as he slid out of the tent before nodding.


    “Speaking of Mr. Crawford, send the second team out. Tell them to be ready to provide help should Mr.


    Crawford or any of the other escapees require it,” ordered Quest.


    The once arrogant youth was no longer disrespectful toward Gerald after previously witnessing his true


    capabilities.


    In fact, he now respected him greatly. After all, Gerald had tasked him with doing something extremely


    chaotic, and chaos was something Quest enjoyed creating. Aside from creating trouble, Quest was


    also responsible for providing aid to Gerald whenever he needed it.


    Their n was currently running quite smoothly since Gerald had given Quest prior instructions from


    within the hidden room earlier. Even the location of the base camp they were currently in had been


    selected by Gerald. After all, he had ordered the two Schuyler subordinates—who were now dead—to


    detail thendscape surrounding the Schuyler family’s mansion back then.


    After the tents were pitched, Gerald’s next order was for Quest to send people into the Schuyler’s


    mansion to start a fire. That wasn’t a problem for Quest either. Now that he had sent the second team


    over to watch over Gerald’s escape, all Quest had to do was wait for Gerald’s safe return.


    “What was that sound, Jasmine? Did you feel that tremor? It’s so dark outside too! I can’t see


    anything!” said Mindy.


    “I have no idea either though it’s safe to assume that there was an explosion… However, since things


    sound rather chaotic outside right now, I think that’ll actually work in our favor. I say we attempt our


    escape now! As far as we know, grandpa could have been the one who arranged for that explosion to


    take ce! Let’s not waste this chance!” replied Jasmine as all those involved with the escape n


    nodded in unison.


    After making sure that everyone involved was ready, they silently pried open the door—that had earlier


    been pick locked—before making a dash for the exit following the paths that they had earlier nned


    out.


    Though they crossed paths with a few subordinates down the corridor, they were barely an issue for


    Jasmine as she swiftly knocked them out.


    Since the electricity had gone out as well, they had the element of surprise on their side. The chaos


    outside had drawn most of the subordinates away from the corridors as well, allowing them to rush out


    of the building without too much trouble.


    With the vanguard now out of sight, the remaining captives—who were peeking at the escape group’s


    progress this entire time from the hidden room’s entrance—said, “It seems that they’ve made it out just


    fine!”


    Hearing that, Mindy gave a sigh of relief. Contrary to what had initially been nned, Mindy ended up


    staying in the room, fearing that she would just end up bing a burden as they made their escape.


    “What should we do now, Ste? Isabelle…? It still seems to be rather chaotic out there… Should we


    use this chance to make our own escape?” asked Mindy anxiously.


    At that moment, she felt someone grabbing onto her hand. Turning to look at who was responsible,


    Mindy’s worries instantly dissolved when she saw that it was Sanderson.


    “Sanderson? Didn’t you rush out together with Jasmine and the others earlier?”


    Shaking his head, Gerald then gestured for her to tell the others to make a mass escape while things


    were still going haywire outside.


    “Will we be able to make it out safely? We don’t even know if Jasmine and the others have truly made it


    out yet…” replied Mindy.


    In response, Gerald gestured for her not to be worried since he was there for her.


    “…Alright, then let’s all rush out together. Everyone! We should use this chance to make a run for the


    mansion’s back door!” shouted Mindy.


    “She’s right! With it being pitch dark outside, they won’t dare to use their guns either! Let’s go!”


    With everyone there now in agreement, the group consisting of well over thirty people began getting


    into position to make their escape as Gerald slowly pushed the door open.


    However, before they could even leave the room, a gunshot was heard!


    “Where the hell do all of you think you’re going?!” shouted a voice that startled several of the people.


    Shadows could be seen sprinting toward the hidden room’s entrance as six bodyguards holding


    industrial shlights came running over.


    As Gerald stepped away from the door, all of the guards—who were also wielding guns—entered the


    room, blocking their only escape route.


    ring viciously at everyone in the room, it was no wonder why a few women instantly began


    screaming in fear.


    “W-what should we do, Sanderson? They have guns with them…” whispered Mindy in fright as she hid


    behind him while tugging on to his sleeve.


    “If you want to live, then stay far away from the entrance!” growled one of the guards as they began


    walking toward the group intimidatingly.


    Gerald’s next action was so rapid that nobody even saw it happening.
