Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1010
Eventually, Kaleb tapped on his wine ss, indicating Zander to speak to Gerald.
However, Zander was fairly reluctant to do it. After all, no matter how much he looked at Gerald, the
youth still looked like a regr person. Knowing that he had to beg an ordinary person for help
definitely caused a fair amount of distress to Zander.
As he pondered on how to proceed, a loud sound was heard as a middle-aged man—who had been
sitting beside Zander—mmed his wine ss on the table.
The man then said, “I truly don’t understand what’s the motive behind today’s feast, Chairman
Lovewell. Who exactly are you trying to entertain?”
It was clear that the middle-aged man’s question was indirectly referring to Gerald who had been sitting
at the seat of honor this entire time.
While the person had already been annoyed by that fact, his annoyance ended up doubling since he
knew that Zander had also been trying to please Gerald.
“Humph! The party today is being held since we’ve sessfully invited Mr. Crawford over!” replied
Kaleb with a faint smile.
“Forgive my insightfulness, but even after living for so long, I’ve never heard of a ‘Mr. Crawford’ before!
Humph! Do understand that all of us who are present today have agreed to lend a helping hand to the
Lovewells in their battle! We already have you, Master Merrett, the expert among experts! As if that
wasn’t enough, I, Theo Zabinski, am also part of this! Because of that, I really cannot fathom why the
Lovewells invited this youth here in the first ce!” sneered Theo.
“I implore you not to be so presumptuous, Theo!” scowled Kaleb who was now slightly nervous,
knowing that Gerald had heard all that.
While Zander said nothing, it was evident that he slightly agreed with Theo’s statement as well.
After hearing all that, Gerald himself was now looking at Kaleb. As was expected, there really was no
such thing as a free lunch.
Noticing this, Kaleb simply lowered his head in an apologetic manner before saying, “…So, the
situation is like this, Mister… See, I met up with Zander a few years ago, and back then, I promised him
that I’d lend the Lovewells a hand if they were ever in danger. In fact, the only reason I’m here now is
because I wish to fulfill that promise! Sadly I have to admit that the enemies are far too strong for me.
I’m afraid that with our current power, we won’t even stand a fighting chance! To put bluntly, would you
be willing to aid us?”
After hearing Kaleb’s direct request, Gerald simply replied with a rather cold tone, “I apologize, but I do
not wish to meddle in your dispute.”
Hearing that, Zander found himself frowning as he lowered his wine ss.
Theo, on the other hand, said, “While you say that you don’t wish to meddle, the truth is that you’re just
not daring enough to help us, right? Come on, show us what tricks and skills you have up your sleeve!
Better yet, fight me right now so that Chairman Lovewell will get to see what actual skills you have as
well!”
“Not interested in a fight either,” replied Gerald rather bluntly.
By then, Zander had already crossed his legs. To think that he had even considered the fact that
Gerald could actually be some powerful expert earlier!
“You know, I think that it’s meaningless for me to continue having my meal here, Master Merette. I’ll be
taking my leave now. Thank you for treating me out for lunch,” said Gerald as he briefly scanned
through the room before smiling at Kaleb.
“Hold on for a moment, mister!” replied Kaleb as he immediately held on to Gerald who had just gotten
off his seat.
“I apologize for not telling you about all this beforehand… In order to properly express my apology, I’ve
ordered someone to prepare something that you need. Since you mentioned earlier that you hade
all the way here just to look for the holy fox…”
Before continuing on with his sentence, Kaleb pped his hands, cueing a subordinate to enter the
room with a map in hand.
“This here, is the map of the paths in Everdare Forest. Since ancient times, people have rarely ever
been able to make it through this primeval forest. However, the ancestors of the Merrett family once
trained in that forest. To ease their training, they made a map of the area. Though it may not help
tremendously, I believe that it may stille in handy in your search for the holy fox. Do ept it,
mister…”

“…Kaleb, isn’t that the map your family used to look for-”
Though the now wide-eyed Zander had attempted to ask something, Kaleb simply raised a hand,
interrupting him. It was evident that Kaleb didn’t want Zander to continue asking his question.
With that, Kaleb then turned to look at Gerald again before repeating, “Please ept it, mister!”
Since he was being offered the map, Gerald simply walked over to take it. After all, he wasn’t about to
turn down an item that was going to save him half the trouble once he actually traversed through the
forest.
Before he was even able to get his hands on it, however, Theo immediately shouted, “Give that to me!”
He then stretched his hand out—from his seat—and snatched the map from the subordinate before
turning to look at Gerald and saying, “So, you want this map, don’t you, Mr. Crawford? It’s mine now! If
you want it,e snatch it back from me!”
Watching as Theo sneered, Gerald simply waved a hand at him before returning to his seat.
“…What do you mean by that?” asked Theo coldly.
Giving no reply, Gerald simply used his fork to casually lift a vegetable leaf off his te. Holding onto
the leaf, Gerald looked at it for a while before flicking his wrist extremely quickly.
As a result, the vegetable leaf flew directly toward the sturdy-looking wooden door of the private
room…
And sent the entire door crumbling down as soon as the leaf hit it!
