    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1029


    Turning to his side, Gerald noticed that the one making the sounds was a puppy that was slowly


    limping toward him! Upon closer inspection, the puppy seemed to have a broken leg. What more, there


    were visible scars all over its body as well.


    When it finally reached Gerald’s side, ity at his feet before promptly starting to lick the tip of his shoe.


    Gerald was more startled than anything. After all, he hadn’t expected to bump into this little one so


    deep inside the forest. In a way, it was a miracle that this puppy was still alive with so many predatory


    beasts lurking within the forest.


    “…Could you be asking me to save you?” asked Gerald.


    Barking twice in response, it then continued licking Gerald’s shoe.


    While Gerald’s first thought—upon seeing the puppy—was to extract its blood to make blood essence,


    after the puppy started licking his shoe, he realized two things. First of all, the puppy was simply too


    small to make a worthwhile blood essence extraction.


    Secondly, he realized that the puppy had a somewhat spiritual nature. After all, it had managed to


    survive this long in the hintends of the forest. What more, it was now begging for his help! With all


    that in mind, Gerald now knew that killing it would be near unbearable for him. After all, he wasn’t that


    cruel.


    “How pitiful… I’ve no idea who abandoned you here, but you’re fortunate that you happened to bump


    into me!” said Gerald as he shook his head while patting the puppy’s head.


    “Unfortunately, I can’t spend too much time idling around here, though I will help to bandage your


    wounds up first. From there on out, however, we’ll be parting ways. I simply don’t have the time to help


    you escape the forest, understand?” added Gerald as he swiftly began patching the puppy’s wounds


    up.

    Not long after, he sessfully managed to stop the puppy’s bleeding and bandage any open wounds


    he could find.


    “How nice it would be if Grandpa Welson and the others were able to catch up to me now… After all,


    since the fox prefers human blood anyway, each of us could just contribute a little of our blood! We’d


    then be able to lure the fox out again for sure! But who knows how long I may need to wait for them to


    arrive… If I wait any longer, the fox could very well escape the valley and I wouldn’t even know it!”


    muttered Gerald to himself in a depressed tone as he did one final check on the puppy.


    The now bandaged puppy, on the other hand, crawled in front of Gerald and simply rested its head


    again on Gerald’s food.


    “Hey now, I told you that I didn’t have any further time to worry about you, right? I’m sorry, but there’s


    just something important I have to do now…” said Gerald as he smiled bitterly while watching the little


    puppytch onto him.


    However, the puppy simply refused to leave Gerald alone.


    At that moment, Gerald’s ear twitched slightly. Someone wasing toward him. The puppy itself


    instantly got up and began barking in the direction the sound wasing from.


    After a few barks, it began wagging its tail excitedly as it looked back at Gerald before blinking its eyes.


    Turning to look at the puppy—whose tongue was now hanging out—Gerald simply asked with a wry


    smile on his face, “So you’re as alert as I am! Still, aren’t you afraid of the possibility that the person


    whoes over will kill you after you’ve attracted their attention?”


    Oddly, the puppy simply raised its head a bit higher while continuing to look at Gerald, a strange rity


    in its eyes.


    “…Hmm? Could it be that you were listening to my mumbling earlier…? Do you know that I require


    human blood? Is that why you’re deliberately trying to attract that person over?”


    Gerald was only making such a bold im since after reading through the Book of Beasts, Gerald


    could now more or less tell what most animals meant by their actions.


    Upon realizing that its message got across, the poppy instantly nodded before wagging its tail happily.


    “Well I’ll be d*mned! You truly do have a spiritual nature!” said Gerald as he patted the puppy’s head.


    It wasn’t long after when a figure could finally be seen from afar. Swiftly making their way toward


    Gerald, the person who finally emerged from the miasma snorted coldly before saying, “No wonder I


    couldn’t track you down no matter how hard I searched for you! So you had escaped here this entire


    time!”


    Naturally, it was none other than the old man from earlier.


    Gerald himself was extremely delighted to see the old man. Rubbing the puppy’s head gently to


    indicate that it did a great job, Gerald then replied, “Oh? You were hunting me down? I really hadn’t


    noticed!”
