Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1348
What more, for a person to so casually hand a nk cheque to someone and tell them to just write
however much they wanted… How wealthy was he even to be able to just say something like that?!

Understanding that he had almost offended this powerful figure earlier, Titus now truly felt like dying.
Regardless, though Gerald simply chose to ignore Titus as his hand grasped the doorknob, he
suddenly heard another person—from behind him—calling out, “Brother!”
It was Hiro, and the injured man—who had finally managed to struggle to his feet—flopped onto the
sofa before adding, “I… I was using my full strength against you earlier, thinking that you’d never be
able to withstand my blow… But you were simply too powerful just now…! Tell me, brother, how much
strength did you actually use on me earlier…?”
Turning back to casually look at Hiro, Gerald simply replied, “Strength…? I barely used any at all! Truth
be told, it was just a simple wave of my hand!”
“…What?!” eximed the stunned Hiro as Gerald simply walked out the door without turning back.
It was at that moment when Rosie was finally willing to believe that this honest-looking man truly was
an authentic, outstanding, and mysterious top master. He was so powerful that quite honestly, Rosie
felt like she had no other choice but to trust in him.
Still, she couldn’t help but wonder why he wanted to borrow her for three days… Was he… nning to
do something with her…?
Then again, he had already spent so much money topensate her, and he was even willing to treat
her mother… Why would he do all that just to spend some time with her…? Perhaps…
As several messy thoughts ran through Rosie’s mind, she found herself quickly snapping out of it. What
the hell was she even thinking about!
Her pretty face now blushing extremely hard, Rosie simply began running after Gerald.

Meanwhile, back in the Gunter Manor, Yreth was facing one of her subordinates as she asked, “Well?
Have you managed to contact Felton yet? Didn’t he head out to capture Gerald? Why isn’t he back
yet?”
“While it’s true that he had gone out to capture Gerald, Mr. Felton sent a message to us earlier stating
that Gerald had escaped into the mountains, Lady Gunter! While we immediately attempted to get in
touch with him after that, we quickly realized that we couldn’t get to him! From what we can assume, he
chased Gerald so far up the mountain that he reached an area that didn’t have any signal!” exined
one of the subordinates respectfully.
“From what I know, the current Gerald is simply a Spirit Earth Realm master at best. With that in mind,
it shouldn’t be a problem for Felton to defeat him at all! What more, he’s even brought along the Dead
Annie Mother—our family’s most treasured possession—just in case! With it, even if he were to run into
a top master simr to the one he had previously bumped into, that master wouldn’t be able tobat
our magical artifact at all! Which begs the question, what’s taking him so long…? …I want all of you to
immediately head up the mountain as well to assist Felton!” said Yreth with a frown.
“Affirmative, Lady Gunter!” replied the subordinate before running off.
Yreth herself simply turned to look at the screen before her.
“…You can stop hiding now. I already knew you were listening in to our conversation from the very
beginning!” said Yreth coldly.
Following that, a young woman slowly walked out from behind the screen… It was Yume.
She didn’t know why and when it started, but Yume simply couldn’t forget about Gerald, and she found
herself constantly thinking about him. She truly hoped that she could see him again, though she didn’t
even know if that could ever happen. Still, in the end, what she truly wished for was for Gerald not to
ever end up getting caught by her grandmother.
“You must be overjoyed that I haven’t been able to catch that youngd yet, aren’t you?” asked Yreth
as she red at Yume, her voice frigid.
“Why do we even need to capture him, grandma…? He bears no grudges or grievances against us,
and he was even nning to pay you a visit before this! With that in mind, why did you have to collude
with the Judgment Portal to harm him…? Can’t all this be settled just by having a good chat with
him…? Once that’s done, you can just let him off, right…?” pleaded Yume, her eyes reddened.
“Hah! You truly have fallen head over heels for him! I really can’t imagine what sort of magic that kid
has… Ever since you were young, you’ve always despised and rejected any guys who’ve tried to make
advances on you. Despite that, to think that you would actually end up getting enchanted by him after
getting to know him for just a few days!” retorted Yreth, clearly feeling exasperated since she felt that
Yume wasn’t living up to her expectations.
“…L-love…? I’m not…!” replied Yume, blushing hard as she nervously tugged on her own clothes to
calm herself.
“Who do you even think you’re kidding? Regardless, I hope you know that aside from achieving the
Gunter family’s goal, grandma’s anxious to find him for your own good as well! I’m saying it now that
you falling for him is only going to end up in tragedy! It’s simply destined that you won’t ever be able to
be together with him! He just isn’t someone within your grasp! Can’t you understand what I’m trying to
say here…?” said Yreth, feeling extremely tempted to lose her temper. However, she was an old and
experienced person, which was why she switched her initially vicious expression into a resigned one as
she looked at her granddaughter.
“…Why… Why do all of you keep saying that I’ll never have a happy ending with him…? How can all of
you just say that so confidently?!” replied Yume in a panic, her heart now filled with immense anger and
resentment as she recalled Master Ghost’s words back then.
“…Mind you, I shouldn’t be telling you about this yet, but if I don’t, I truly am afraid that you’ll be silly
enough to do something stupid in future! So be it! I’ll tell you everything today!” dered Yreth as she
took in a deep breath.
Her expression now solemn, Yreth then turned to look at Yume before asking, “Tell me… Do you truly
know who Gerald is…?”
