Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1293 Hearing that, Gerald turned to look at the table. Seeing that what Chester had said was true, he thenwalked over to pick the note up. On it, was a row of words that stated, ‘Let us meet at the Sky Bridge inQerton City at exactly midnight today!’

Aside from that straightforward message, nothing else was on the note. There wasn’t even a signatureto indicate who had sent it.

“…Could the sender have been Matilda…? After all, she couldn’t find us in the beginning… Though shedid eventually manage to invite us over, I don’t think it would be a stretch to think that she was the onewho left that note here,” deduced Chester.

Shaking his head, Gerald then replied, “Knowing her, she’d most probably continue madly lookingaround till she eventually managed to find us. Leaving a note behind is too delicate for a person likeher!”

Still, what a strange incident…

‘I don’t even know anyone from Ancient City… Who could be the one inviting me over for the meet-up…?’ Gerald thought to himself. Whatever the case was, Gerald had made his mind up that he wouldbe heading over to have a look anyway.

“I’ll be heading over alone, Chester. In the meantime, you should stay here,” said Gerald.

“Affirmative!”

Sky Bridge itself was located near the Southern suburbs of Qerton City, and it connected two chunks ofland separated by a large river. By the time Gerald got there, it was half an hour before midnight andeverything was dark and slightly terrifying.

Since Gerald still didn’t know who it was who it was who had called him out, Gerald had beenextremely vigilant throughout his journey to the river. While he had passed by a few people earlier onhis way here, none of them seemed to be the ones who had called him out.

All of a sudden, Gerald saw a wooden boat—with tiny lanterns at its sides—rowing toward him.

With the aid of the dim moonlight, Gerald was able to see a standing figure wearing a straw hat atopthe boat. The person himself was dressed in a way that suggested that he was a villager who hadretired to live deep in the forest. Regardless, with how steady and quickly the person was rowing theboat, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that the person was a little extraordinary.

As Gerald continued looking at the person, his ears twitched as he suddenly began hearing the—oddly—rhythmic shackling of iron coming toward him from all directions.

Soon after, six figures stepped out from the darkness, and inclusive of the person on the boat, it was afair guess that Gerald was going to have to deal with seven enemies.

“So you actually came!” sneered one of the men.

Hearing that, Gerald looked at the note in his hand before glaring at the man and replying, “Well youdid leave me a note telling me to come over… It would’ve been unreasonable for me to turn down suchan obvious trap. Still, did you really have to go through all that trouble just to tell me something? Or isthere something else you have in mind…?”

Despite how cold Gerald’s expression was, what seemed to be the group’s leader simply shook his ironshackles slightly before replying with a smile, “There’s no need for you to ask so much. Regardless,we’re giving you a choice now. Are you going to be coming along with us willingly? Or would you preferus capturing you by force instead?”

Upon hearing that, Gerald then slowly began walking toward the leader as he asked, “Come along, yousay? Where to? Also, are you here on behalf of the King of Judgement Portal? Or are you perhapsQueena’s people?”

Seeing how sensibly Gerald seemed to be behaving, the leader couldn’t help but break into a smile.Even though he had caught wind of the fact that Gerald had killed both Tiara and Belzebob, it appearedthat he wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary.

“Again, there’s no need to be so inquisitive! After all, you’ll find out sooner or later once you come alongwith us!” replied the leader with a smirk.

“So be it!” said Gerald.

Following that, Gerald closed his eyes for a second… And when he opened them again, his alreadycold gaze had turned even more frigid as his inner strength began rapidly pulsing throughout his body!

The next thing everyone knew, Gerald had already disappeared from his spot. Before anyone couldeven react, a loud ‘thud’ could be heard.novelbin

Turning to look at the source of the sound, everyone’s eyes immediately widened as they watched asone of their allies flew a good ten yards away! As it turned out, Gerald had moved so fast that withinmoments, he had already kicked the chest of that—now-flying—man!

As the victim of the kick spurted blood all over the place—clearly suffering from terrible internal injuries—the rest of his allies found themselves momentarily stupefied.

They truly hadn’t expected Gerald to just attack without warning. Whatever the case was, it was nowevident that his martial art skills weren’t as simple as they had initially expected.

“How… How dare you?!” roared one of the men as he immediately threw his iron shackles straight forGerald’s neck!
