    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1268


    “Mr. Crawford! You’re finally awake!” shouted Jace who seemed to have been sitting beside him this


    entire time. Realizing that his wounds had been bandaged, Gerald now knew that Jace had been the


    one who had stabilized his condition.


    “I am… Thank you, Dr. Mabb…” replied Gerald as he held onto his wounds.


    Recalling that he had almost been killed by Tiara and those eight men, Gerald turned to look at the


    Smiths as he asked, “Aunt Helen… Uncle Smith… Were you the ones who had rescued and brought


    me here…?”


    As he awaited their reply, Gerald faintly remembered himself desperately pleading the jade pendant to


    help him back then. He also recalled the sudden burst of energy that emitted from his body before


    eventually passing out. Naturally, he had no idea what happened after going unconscious.


    “That’s right, Gerald… You almost frightened us to death earlier, you know? You sent all nine of them


    flying into the air in all directions! Sensing the opportunity to escape, we then quickly brought you back


    with us!” exined Helen who was very obviously still terrified after witnessing all that had happened


    today.


    Following that, Helen exined how Tiara had brought some of her men with her over to their house


    not long after Gerald left. Since Gavin, Rita, and Helen just so happened to be serving Lady Smith at


    the time, all three of them ended up getting kidnapped by Tiara and her men!


    Eventually, all that led to Tiara besieging Gerald.


    From what Helen had told him, Gerald deduced that Tiara must’ve previously been unable to find him


    in Mayberry, even after days of searching. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to do all this just to


    weed him out.


    Putting Tiara aside for the moment, Gerald began thinking about the jade pendant. It appeared that the


    pendant wasn’t as simple as Gerald had initially thought. After all, it practically saved his skin earlier.


    Before he could delve any further into it, Zack—who had also been present this entire time—suddenly


    said in a worried tone, “You really scared us half to death earlier, Mr. Crawford! By the time we got


    there to carry your unconscious body over, you werepletely drenched in blood!”


    “I truly had a near-death experience earlier, that’s for sure… Regardless, where are we?” asked


    Gerald, suddenly realizing that he was somece unfamiliar.


    “We’re currently in a vi that’s halfway up Mountain Top. While we’re on the topic, I’m d to


    announce that we’ve already managed to punch a hole through the mountain! We should be able to


    locate what you’re looking for soon, Mr. Crawford!” reported Zack.


    “…I see! That exins it!”


    Gerald was, of course, talking about how strongly the jade pendant had reacted at the time.


    Before Zack was able to inquire Gerald about it, a screaming female could suddenly be hearding


    from the room next door! Shortly after, the sound of a te falling to the floor followed!


    It didn’t take much to be able to guess that some woman had just witnessed something extremely


    terrifying, and not long after, a young nurse—who looked to be around the age of eighteen—stumbled


    into the room while shouting in a panicked voice, “D-dr. Mabb…! The man next door has already


    awoken, and he’s slowly breaking free of his steel restraints!”


    “What?!” shouted Zack in disbelief before ncing at several of his men who were in the room. Getting


    the message, the guards instantly headed for the room next door.


    “What on earth is happening?” asked Gerald.


    “It’s that man who was trying to kill you with a daggerst night! While we were sure that he was still


    unconscious at the time we began transferring you here, upon arriving at the vi, we realized that he


    had tailed us all the way here! Though he was extremely weak at the time, he kept muttering the


    phrase, ‘I’m going to save you, Mr. Crawford…!’ Hearing that, we couldn’t allow Mr. Lyle to just kill him.


    After all, we weren’t sure whether he was a friend or foe yet. Due to that, we restrained him with steel


    chains for the time being!” replied Helen.


    “That’s Chester!” eximed Gerald as his eyelids twitched. Immediately hopping off his bed, Gerald


    began rushing over to the room next door.


    Upon entering, Gerald saw several bodyguards standing near the door, all of them looking rather


    stunned.


    Turning to see what they were all looking at, Gerald saw Chester standing there, breaking off yet


    another chain with his bare hands. From the looks of it, he had been tied with at least a dozen steel


    chains, though many of them were already lying broken on the floor.


    Though the guards all had electric batons in hand, not one of them even dared to step forward to attack


    him. It was evident that this was their first time seeing such an insanely strong person.


    Feeling extremely moved to see his close friend alive and kicking again, Gerald called out, “Chester…!”

    Hearing the familiar voice, Chester’s body began trembling ever so slightly as he raised his head to see


    if it really was Gerald. Upon getting that confirmation, Chester called out extremely slowly, “M… Mr…


    Crawford…!”


    The way he was speaking was reminiscent of a toddler who was barely able to speak clearly yet.


    Despite that, Gerald knew that Chester was fully sober from the look in his eyes alone. He truly had no


    idea what method had been used to bring Chester back to life.


    “Yes, it’s me, Chester!” replied Gerald while looking straight into his brother’s eyes.


    Chester had taken a killing blow for Gerald back then to save his brother, and Gerald had always felt


    guilty about that. Regardless of what Chester even was now, Gerald couldn’t help but feel happy to see


    him alive…
