Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1319
Regardless, Gerald hadn’t followed Leo since rushing back to King Valley was the priority.
As for the cave he had sent Leo to, it was one that was quite well-concealed. Gerald had previouslycome across it while heading back to the valley alone, and since he didn’t know how far the Fairleighswould go to recapture Leo, Gerald figured that the cave was Leo’s best bet of avoiding detection.
Of course, Gerald knew that Leo was no longer afraid of stun guns, and while Gerald didn’t really careabout the lives of the Fairleighs, if Leo simply began killing them off—and causing a massive bloodbath—then the target on Gerald’s back would definitely grow bigger.
To put it simply, Gerald didn’t want to attract the attention of both the Gunters and those fromJudgement Portal. With that in mind, it was definitely better for Leo to remain hidden for the time being.
Regardless, he needed to hurry back to King Valley to obtain the three herbs to cure Sierra.
Just as he arrived at the familiar yard, Gerald saw a middle-aged man—who looked to be in his forties—and two of his subordinates standing before Myles.
“Humph! Who do you even think you are, Myles? To just allow some random person into the valley…Hell, you even went ahead and prepared a room for him!” scoffed the man.
Despite the man’s clear arrogance, Myles respectfully replied, “You may not be aware of this, StewardSam, but that man is me and the master of the valley’s benefactor’s disciple! He’s come to ask formedicine, which is why I’ve allowed him to temporarily stay!”
“…What? Not only has he come over to ask for medicine, but he even used the master’s name? Whyhaven’t I heard the master talk about this before then? Regardless, the King Valley isn’t a place forordinary people to enter all willy-nilly! Now cease this nonsense and vacate that room for me! It’s
reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Cate’s son! Also, I remind you that you’re no longer the steward of this place,Myles. You’re just a handyman in the King Valley now! Whatever the case is, you’d better focus onserving their son and carrying out your duties properly, otherwise, you’ll have to answer to me!”sneered Sam as he waved his hand.
While Myles had no idea who Mr. and Mrs. Cates’s son was, he soon got his answer.
As one of the guards took one step to the side, it revealed an exquisite-looking box—typically made forbabies—and in it, was a puppy! So… The ‘son’ of Mr. and Mrs. Cates was nothing more than a dog…?!
Anger flashed across Myle’s face.novelbin
He was someone who would live and die for the sake of both the King Valley as well as the master ofthe valley. Despite that, not only were they now ordering him to live with a dog, but he also had to serveit?! Anyone living on the planet would feel dejected by that!
Even so, Myles could only clench his fist, not daring to say a word.
As he turned to look at Sam again, however, the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of Gerald whohad been standing near the entrance this entire time.
Realizing that, Myles then forced on a smile before saying, “…Ah, Mr. Crawford! Where have youbeen? I was just about to go look for you!”
Though Gerald had clearly seen everything that had just taken place, he simply pretended that hehadn’t and replied, “I was just taking a stroll to have a look around.”
Clearing his throat, Myles then shook his head before saying, “…I see! Speaking of which, Mr.Crawford, I… have something serious to attend to that I’m afraid I can’t share the details of! With that in
mind, I’m sorry to say that I can’t help you this time! In the end, I’m just a low-ranked person in KingValley and nobody takes me seriously, though I’m sure you’ve already seen what happened earlier…”
Hearing that, Gerald knew that there was no point asking about the medicinal herbs now. After all, ifeven being here was an issue, what more obtaining those rare herbs?
At that moment, Sam—who had momentarily walked off when Gerald came over earlier—returned witha bag in hand. It was Gerald’s luggage.
The contents of the luggage bag itself weren’t anything special, at least to Gerald. Just a few booksthat the man had told Gerald to hand over to the master of the valley. As far as Gerald knew, the booksheld records of important information about folk remedies.
Of course, in addition to getting the herbs, it was clear that that man’s goal was to further expand hisnetwork with new forces.
Whatever the case was, Sam snorted loudly, “What’s this, what’s this? Whose broken bag is this?”
“That’s mine,” replied Gerald as he looked at the mustached steward.
Upon hearing Gerald’s reply, Sam then tossed the bag which landed right at Gerald’s feet beforeshouting, “Oh, I’m well aware! Now pick that up and leave already!”
Infuriated, the now red-faced Myles then retorted, “What is the meaning of this, Sam?! I’ve already toldyou that Mr. Crawford is here on behalf of me and master’s benefactor! Treating Mr. Crawford likethis… Do you not care one bit about me at all? Let me remind you that had I not recommended youback then, you wouldn’t have been promoted to steward today! You should know what you’ve done forme to overreact like this! Don’t step over the line!”
“I don’t get a single word of what you just said, Myles! Not one word!” growled Sam, his expression nowdark as he took a few steps forward before stomping on Gerald’s bag!
Watching as Sam proceeded to apply extra force on his foot, just to rub it in, Myles’s breath instantlybegan heaving rapidly.
