Chapter 1327
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1327
“…W-what…?!” shouted Bradly, an utterly horrified and incredulous expression on his face as he stared
wide-eyed at Gerald.
Bradley was already someone who possessed immense strength. With that in mind, how could an
ordinary person like Gerald—who looked no older than Seamus—actually cause him to flinch from
attacking?
Had he not witnessed Gerald’s sudden attack just seconds ago, he wouldn’t have believed how
capable the youth truly was! But this was illogical, wasn’t it?

As Bradley—in his shock and horror—continued trying to make sense of the situation, Hershel could
simply frown as he turned to look at his younger brother.
Rupert, Fleur, and the others from King Valley, on the other end, were now feeling like they had finally
been graced with hope after being pushed into such a desperate situation earlier.
To think that he had such ungodly strength… Thinking back, since none of them had been able to
discern how powerful he truly was earlier, it was lucky that they didn’t offend him too badly…
Regardless, when Rupert saw that Gerald—who was arguably even stronger than Bradley—was now
defending him, he immediately got to his feet.
Fleur herself had already wiggled free when everyone was still dumbfounded earlier, and she had just
sessfully freed her sister as well at the moment.
Running back to where most of the King Valley guards were, Yenny panted before saying, “S-sister! It’s
him! I hadn’t noticed his presence earlier, but it turns out that he isn’t dead!”
“Hush! Don’t say anything first!” replied Fleur who was equally as surprised as Yenny was.
With the atmosphere now extremely cold and solemn, Bradley eventually frowned before asking, “…
Who are you?”
Though he had already noticed Gerald’s presence long before Peter had even begun fighting Seamus,
Bradley hadn’t really paid much attention to him, especially since he looked so young. Instead, his
attention was fully preupied with the three masters, Rupert, and the two gunmen from earlier.
He now knew, however, that this kid possessed truly extraordinary strength. With that in mind, it was
obvious that he had something to rely on.
Bradley was a person who had survived countless rains of bullets throughout the years, and aside from
using brute force, the reason why he was still alive was because he had always been extremely
careful. Even if he was facing a seemingly ordinary man, he knew better than to underestimate his
opponent. After all, he was experienced enough to know that everything could go wrong because of a
single wrong judgment.
Seeing that Gerald wasn’t replying, Rupert—who was now finally regaining a bit of confidence—cleared
his throat as he said, “…Well then! I hadn’t expected our benefactor from back then to raise such an
outstanding apprentice! I admit that I was a bit too rash and impetuous just now… If I remember
correctly, Myles had said that you wished to collect three Cherish Herbs, correct? If you help us deal
with the Fairleighs, forget three, I’ll give you ten of them! Hell, I’ll even throw in another seventy-five
thousand dors! How about it?”
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply turned to look at him before smiling coldly as he replied, “I hope you
understand that I only saved you earlier due to how sincerely Myles was begging me to! Are you
honestly attempting to use those simple terms, thinking you can just dismiss me after I deal with them?
When you’re currently at such a critical moment that could easily spell your death?”
What Gerald had said was no exaggeration. Had he not felt Myles’s immense loyalty, Gerald wouldn’t
even have considered saving Rupert’s life. After all, he could’ve just obtained the medicine on his own
once Rupert was dead.
Hearing Gerald’s reply, Rupert instantly felt his heart clench.
Since Gerald looked like a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen much of the world, Rupert had assumed
that Gerald would definitely be surprised by his sudden offer. In the end, however, Rupert was the one
who was surprised since Gerald didn’t seem to care about the offer at all!
“…Do you not think that my offer is good enough, youngd? What do you wish for then? Just say the
word and I’ll give it to you as long as you’re willing to help get rid of my enemies for me!” bargained
Rupert.
“Oh, what I want is quite simple. I just wish to own a fifth of the King Valley!” replied Gerald with a
laugh.
“…I… I beg your pardon…?” replied Rupert, his eyes widened in shock.
Even Fleur hadn’t expected Gerald to be this greedy!
“Oh? Hmm… Well, I said I just wish to own a fourth of the King Valley!” said Gerald with a smirk.
Now breathing frantically, Rupert finally realized how seriously he had underestimated the kid. To think
that this young country bumpkin would even dare to ask for a fifth of the King Valley! As if that wasn’t
already outrageous enough, he was now asking for a fourth!
“…I’m sure I heard you said a fifth earlier… Regardless, I won’t lie that it’s exceedingly difficult for me
to just hand over a fifth of my valley to you! How about this? Should you be willing to help me deal with
them, I’ll give you a tenth of this ce! It’ll certainly be more than sufficient for you to lead an easy and
carefree life from the money generated from that area!”
