Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1027 ‘But… There’s just no way she would even know who Gerald is… Unless… Could he truly be in theLogan Province…? Hold on, she may not even be talking about the same Gerald!’ Xavia thought toherself.

With so many questions swimming in her head, Xavia couldn’t hold herself back from chasing afterHaven. She desperately needed answers.

Fast forward to two days later, Gerald found himself in the hinterland of Everdare Forest which waslocated at the border of the Logan Province.

With a heritage that spanned over thousands of years, the trees within Everdare Forest grew extremelydensely atop the many mountains that also grew particularly close to each other. Aside from theimmense variety of flora that could be found there, several species of predators were also known tolurk within the forest.

“Careful when plugging the hole! We can’t let the beast escape again with how cunning it is!” said oneof the many men standing in front of a hole that the holy fox had been cornered in.

With Welson being in charge of the operation, it was evident that the group consisted of Gerald and hismen.

Since Kaleb had given Gerald the map of Everdare Forest, they had made twice the progress with halfthe effort in their search for the holy fox. After all, the map was quite detailed and having it alone wasakin to having a seasoned navigator of the forest.

While Gerald and the others were successful in locating the holy fox’s tracks at dawn yesterday, to theirdismay, the fox managed to slip away from them.

That marked the beginning of a series of confrontations they had with the extremely cunning fox. Noneof them could have ever anticipated how truly capable the holy fox was.

After all, even after working hard to catch it throughout the night, their restless endeavors seemed to bepointless. Though they had confronted the fox for well over a dozen times by then, the fox alwaysseemed to be a step ahead of them!

Eventually, however, they were finally able to trap the holy fox within the hole it was currently in.

Finally getting some results, Welson was now extremely excited.

Gerald himself nervously said, “Don’t allow the beast to escape again! From what I’ve read in the Bookof Beasts, not only is the holy fox extremely fast, but though its body is completely white, it’s an expertat concealing itself as well! However, the most worrying thing is the fact that it’s capable of quicklyseeing through plans and routines. Once that happens, it’ll easily find a way to escape! The bookspecifically states that its IQ is even higher than most human geniuses!”

Since Gerald had thoroughly studied the Book of Beasts the night before they began their hunt for thefox, he had learned everything he needed to know about the holy fox alongside other beasts.

As a result, he knew that if they were to allow the fox to escape their grasps this time, tracking it downagain would be near impossible

“The beast is about to show itself! Everyone, hush!” ordered Welson as he gestured for the rest to besilent.

Hearing that, everyone held their breath as they surrounded the hole’s entrance. Gerald himself couldalready see hints of a white tail squirming out from within the narrow hole.

From the moment the fox entered the hole, their plan had been to smoke it out from the other end. Dueto the subordinate—who had been stationed on the other end—constantly fanning smoke into the hole,the fox was finally showing signs of exiting it!

However, when the fox was about half a meter away from the entrance, thick, suffocating, green smokesuddenly began pouring out of the hole!

Since Gerald and the others had been lying in wait right in front of the hole, only Gerald managed toretreat and cover his nose in time. Everyone else there, however, ended up getting smoked!

Squeaking could soon be heard as everyone turned to look at the fox. It was almost as though the foxwas laughing at them!

With one final squeal, it dashed out of the hole with lightning speed, running past Gerald’s men andmaking its escape!

“D*mn it! It escaped again!” shouted Welson in his frustration.novelbin

“After it!” ordered Gerald as he swiftly began chasing after the fox himself. Not wanting it to escapeagain, Gerald made sure to run as fast as he could.

Though Welson and the others were initially hot on their heels, eventually, they lost sight of both Geraldand the holy fox! They couldn’t find any traces of him at all!

“What should we do, Mr. Welson? We’ve lost sight of him!” said one of the subordinates.

“We’ll try our best to locate both of them first! If we still can’t find them, then we’ll just have to return tobase and wait for him there!” instructed Welson.

Meanwhile, the holy fox was making mocking cries as it bolted to the top of the forest, not unlike anarrow that had just been fired.
