Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1292 Upon stepping out of the large hall, a few women instantly began surrounding Gerald rather excitedly.Finding him to be increasingly stable and attractive, several of them were keen on inquiring him aboutsome things to get to know him better.

“So you were this powerful, Gerald!”

“Indeed! Speaking of which, Gerald, are you really the legendary Mr. Crawford from Mayberry…? Aidennever said a word about this to us!”

“So what if I am? Is that important?” asked Gerald casually.

Hearing that, the women immediately pursed their lips in disappointment. It was obvious that Geraldwasn’t interested in them in the slightest.

Regardless, Fernando himself was now half-crippled due to that single kick. In other words, as soon ashe woke up, he found that he couldn’t use the force around his arms anymore.

Since the Dawsons and the Simes had been sharing a good relationship for generations, the incidentdefinitely caused quite a major uproar among the Simes. After all, not only was Fernando a rising starin the Martial Arts Association, but he was also the one who had received special training from theGunters, one of the major secret families.

He had been planning to participate in the trial training the following day too, but it was obviouslyimpossible in his current state.

To think that Fernando had ended up being beaten up this badly just because of somemisunderstanding the Sime family’s young lady—Matilda—had with Gerald! The Simes had simply paidtoo much attention to that misunderstanding for their own good.

Whatever the case was, both Shandon Sime—the master of the Sime family—and a middle-aged manfrom the Gunter family—who was there as a guest—were greeted to the sight of Fernando’s terriblestate as the other Simes were carrying him in. This, of course, prompted Shandon to inquire hisdaughter about what had happened. The middle-aged man himself was well acquainted with theDawsons, so he knew that Fernando was a person who had undergone cut and dried training.

Either way, after being questioned by her father, Matilda didn’t even dare to miss out on a single detail.She even made sure to show him Gerald’s photograph as she fully detailed everything that had led tothis point.

Once she was done, the middle-aged Gunter took a look at the photograph before immediatelynarrowing his eyes as he said, “You… To think that you’ve actually offended him!”

“…Oh? You know who he is, Third master? Is he really the rich heir from Mayberry then?” askedShandon, stunned.

The third master went by the name of Shaun Gunter, and his role was to mediate communicationbetween the Gunters and the outside world. Due to that, it was no surprise that he was quite close tothe Simes.

“I’ve seen photographs of him before, and this is undoubtedly Mr. Crawford from Mayberry. You haveno idea how vicious and potent his mysterious martial arts are. I’ll have you know that this personsingle-handedly ended the lives of all the Moldells from the North, the Longs, and even the Schuylersfrom the Salford Province!” explained Shaun.

Hearing that, Shandon’s eyes widened so much that they looked like they were going to pop out of hishead at any second. Matilda herself was already covering her mouth in fright.

Following that, both father and daughter asked in unison, “Is… Is that really true…?”

“Is there even a reason for me to lie? Regardless, since he’s already here, I assure you that he’s cometo meet the Gunters. In fact, Lady Gunter—the master of the Gunter family—had predicted that hewould come sooner or later quite some time ago. With that in mind, she had ordered me to receive himupon his arrival. Lady Gunter truly has amazing insight!” replied Shaun with a sigh.

“If that’s the case then… does that mean he’s a prestigious guest of the Gunters?” said Shandon, hisfear evident in his voice.

“I’d say so. Regardless, just to remind you how powerful he truly is, I heard that people from both theSquad of Divine Grimness and Judgement Portal have sent exceptional people after him before.However, even their strongest followers were unable to kill him! With that in mind, I have to emphasizeyour lack of insight for offending such a person!” replied Shaun while shaking his head.

“H-how was I supposed to know that he was that powerful… Hell, if I had known, I wouldn’t have evendared to offend him in the first place!” said Matilda fearfully.

“…Still, why would those from the Squad of Divine Grimness and the Judgement portal want to capturehim in the first place? Not only that, but the Gunters are also…” asked Shandon as the end of hissentence trailed off.

“Let’s just say that he has something special with him. As long as one is able to obtain that specialsomething, a major secret will definitely be revealed to them!” replied Shaun.

“A major secret…?” said Shandon as his eyes momentarily lit up.

After some thought, he then looked up again before whispering, “…Could it be that the Gunters alsowish to-”

Shandon’s sentence ended midway the second he saw Shaun giving him a warning gaze. Even so,due to that, Shandon knew that his deduction was most likely correct. With that in mind, he quicklybreathed a sigh of relief in his mind.

…

It was a little while later when Gerald finally returned to his hotel. Of course, the private room in thehotel had been ruined by those whom Matilda had sent over.

After seeing the chaotic state of the room, Chester immediately wanted to head off and kill those fromthe Sime family! Gerald, however, stopped him before he could even leave the room.

“If I may, this isn’t your usual style, Mr. Crawford! With the Simes targeting us so many times, surely wecan’t just let them off that easily!” said Chester.

Gerald simply shook his head before replying, “Let’s just say that I’ve been feeling ill at easethroughout this period of time… With that in mind, I truly don’t wish to waste my time and energy on theSimes, at least for the moment!”

Before Chester could reply, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something lying on the table inthe room. Squinting his eyes slightly, the puzzled Chester then said, “…Mr. Crawford, it appears thatsomeone may have entered the room…”novelbin

Looking at the mess before him that Matilda had caused, Gerald then frowned as he replied, “…Yes, Ifigured as much…”

“…Wait, no, that’s not what I’m talking about! Look there! On the table! Someone’s left you a note ofsorts, inviting you to meet them!”
