    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1406


    Watching as Wes took in another deep breath, Peter then asked, “…A terrible cry? Also, how many


    corpses are we talking about here?”


    “There… Weren’t that many, to be quite honest… Around eight of them, if I recall… I was too terrified


    by the terrible criesing from the backyard back then to pay proper attention…!” replied Wes who


    was clearly still traumatized by that experience.


    “…So… Following that, you fell into the well and simply stayed there till now…? Is that what


    happened?” asked Gerald as both he and Peter exchanged nces with each other.


    Gerald believed in Wes’s words since he had earlier used his divine vision to detect any lies. As it


    turned out, everything that Wes had said was true.


    “Indeed, Mr. Crawford! Also, not long after I fell into the well, I started hearing people running toward


    me! Fearing the worst, I instantly dived deeper into the well! I’m assuming that that’s the only reason


    I’m still alive!” exined Wes.


    “…Who could be orchestrating all this…?” muttered Gerald before taking in a deep breath. His blood


    and qi were boiling by this point, and anyone would be able to sense the murderous intent emitting


    from him.


    “Regardless, I eventually stuck my head out of the water and took a peek to see whether the coast was


    clear… However, I was immediately greeted by the sound of heavy things being dragged away…


    Assuming that the corpses were being disposed of, I was so terrified that I didn’t even dare reveal


    myself up till the point I heard your familiar voice, Mr. Crawford! Still… Why would something this


    terrible happen, Mr. Crawford…? With your family being so powerful, I can’t even imagine anyone


    daring enough to touch you!” cried out Wes, his voice filled with grief.


    “…You mentioned something earlier about people learning that something had happened to the


    Crawfords before you arrived at this manor… Who exactly told you about that rumor?” asked Peter


    coldly.


    “I-I found out about it from a few regional managers in Weston! From what I know, they were the first to


    know about the incident!”


    “…I see. Speaking of, you said you had something to report to the Crawfords… What is it?”


    “Y-yes! Well, I found out that a few managers fromrger areas were transferring out properties of the


    Crawford family in secret. While I wanted to immediately report that incident, I couldn’t find anyone


    relevant! I truly hadn’t expected for something like this to have happened to your family when I first got


    here, Mr. Crawford…!” wailed Wes, still kneeling on the ground in tears.


    “Managers you say… Seems like they know a thing or two about this incident!” replied Peter.


    Nodding in response, Gerald then said, “I’ll be capturing and interrogating them about this


    immediately!”


    “…No, let’s not do that first. It’s best not to alert the enemy before you further investigate the details


    regarding this incident. After all, the fact that the regional managers actually dared to transfer out the


    properties in secret is already highly suspicious. From what I know, the Crawford family’s regional


    managers always passed their trades down to the next generation, and each generation—up till this


    point—has been loyal to the Crawfords. With how loyal they are, betraying the Crawfords when they’re


    in danger seems highly unlikely. With that in mind, let’s not act impulsively yet till more of the incident


    comes to light,” replied Peter after thinking for a while.


    Upon hearing that, Gerald nodded though he also began eyeing the man rather curiously before


    eventually asking, “…You seem to know quite a bit about my family, don’t you, sir?”


    This wasn’t the first time Gerald had a hunch about that, and he was curious as to why Peter knew so


    much about him.

    “…Did you get to know me from long ago, sir? Or did we meet when I was much younger?” asked


    Gerald.


    Shaking his head with a smile, Peter then replied, “Well… The first half of your guess is true. See, I first


    got to know you when you were studying at university… Naturally, I kept a close eye on your daily


    experiences back then.”


    Peter didn’t feel the need to hide all this anymore, and his statement was—as to be expected—greatly


    surprising to Gerald.


    “…What? Have you been secretly observing me this entire time, sir?” asked Gerald in bewilderment.


    “Well, observing isn’t really the correct term here…” replied Peter, seemingly thinking about something


    before his expression gradually turned solemn.


    “But you know so much about me, sir… With that in mind, how else could you have gotten to know me


    so well if you hadn’t been observing me?” inquired Gerald, not understanding Peter at all.


    “Putting it frankly, I’ve been observing another person who’s been observing you this entire time!”
