Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 976
“…You’re not dreaming… I really am here!” replied Gerald with a smile as he wiped the tears off Bea’s
face.
“Where have you been in the past six months, cousin…? You seem to be much stronger and tanner
now… If this really isn’t a dream, then I… I… I don’t know, I’m just so happy to finally be able to see
you again!” sobbed Bea.
“It’s a long story… I’ll tell you all about it in the future. For now, you just need to know that I’m still
perfectly fine!” replied Gerald as he felt his eyes going slightly red.
“Speaking of which, how are my parents doing…?” added Gerald.
“Well, it isn’t umon for aunt to cry all day long these days… Uncle himself seems to look much
older than he used to before your disappearance… Both of them simply spend most of their time
worrying about you…!”
“…I see. And what about my sister?”
“She’s… grown to have a very short fuse now… While she used to be very kind to her subordinates,
from the day you went missing, she’d asionally beat them up over very small matters! Nothing
seems to please her anymore, and she orders her subordinates to search for you on a daily basis!”
replied Bea.
Hearing that, Gerald could feel tears trickling down his cheeks.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
Upon seeing that, Bea then continued, “…Still, it’s great that you’re finally back now, cousin… I’m sure
that everyone from your family will be overjoyed once they find out about it, especially Lyra! You know,
she’s constantly been missing and thinking about you this entire time… She’s also the one in charge of
shouldering all our family’s affairs now… The poor girl is just beyond tired and exhausted now…”
“However, she keeps insisting that she be the one to take good care of the family! She’s been positive
that you’ll make your return one day now here you are! She’ll definitely be extremely happy once she
finds out about all this! In fact, I should probably call her over now! Oh, and I should call uncle as well!”
added Bea, feeling so excited that she wasn’t even sure what to do first.
“…Hold on a moment, Bea. …Please understand that I’m only meeting you now since I couldn’t hold
myself back anymore… Bea, please promise me that you won’t tell anybody about what happened
tonight… Nobody should find out that we ever met,” said Gerald as he wiped his tears away.
“…Huh? …Why not, cousin?” asked Bea, clearly confused.
“Because I’m currently at a critical point in my battle with Kort… After killing Kort’s third son and
ceasing his power in the Salford Province, everything wille crumbling down should my
whereabouts or status be exposed… By then, not only will my family suffer a massive blow, but I
probably won’t be able to make it out alive either… Do you understand, Bea?” exined Gerald.
“…W-what? You killed Jett?” replied Bea as she cupped her mouth in shock.
“B-but I heard that Jett was kidnapped by a mysterious master! From what I know, he’s still considered
to be missing! After all, the Moldells have frantically been trying to locate him to the point of insanity
since the day he disappeared! They just can’t seem to find clues about his whereabouts anywhere!”
said Bea, now more surprised than anything.
“Well, I made sure that not even a single strand of his hair remained once I was done with him… He
died a very clean death, so I highly doubt that the Moldells will ever be able to locate him!” replied
Gerald with a bitter smile on his face. “How exactly did you kill him, cousin…? Even the top masters in
our family are no match of Jett’s subordinates, let alone Jett himself!”
“Just know that Jett wasn’t an actual threat to me. Regardless, I was serious about making the
promise. Nobody should ever know that you saw me, understand? Also, please bear in mind that the
auction you’re participating in is extremely dangerous so you’ll have to be alert at all times. If you sense
anything unusual, notify me about it as soon as possible. I’ll secretly be assisting and protecting both of
you throughout your stay here,” replied Gerald as he hugged Bea tightly.
Nodding with a heavy heart, Bea then said, “…Alright, I promise. Regardless, I’m just so happy to know
that you’re still doing fine!”
“Silly girl… Speaking of which, I’m currently the chairman of the Royal Dragon Group and I’m after the
Ginseng King as well. I need your help getting the herb for me once the auctioning begins! It’ll be more
useful in my hands rather than my family’s anyway!”
“Not a problem, cousin! Also… While I’ll definitely keep our promise, could I please tell Lyra about our
meeting? After all, I spend a lot of time daily with her and I simply can’t bear looking at her so upset as
she thinks about you day in and day out!”
“I’m sorry, Bea, but you can’t. I’ll meet her when the time is right so please keep the matter a secret
until then!” instructed Gerald.
“…I understand-”
“Shh!”
Before Bea could even finish her sentence, Gerald had ced a finger over his lips as he gestured for
her to remain silent as well.
“Someone’sing. Don’t say a word!” whispered Gerald as he frowned.
Frightened, Bea did as she was told.
Gerald himself sprinted quietly in the shadows toward the direction of the sound, much to Bea’s
surprise.
Once he was outside, he saw what seemed to be a masked man donning ck clothes slowly
approaching the vi.
Looking at the ground, Gerald noticed a few twigs at his feet and purposely stepped on them. The
moment the man in ck heard the sound of snapping twigs, he immediately dashed away from the
vi with extreme speed!
‘How skillful! It seems that there truly are no ordinary people participating in this event!’ Gerald thought
to himself as he slid on his mask before chasing after the man.
