Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1355 Rushing to the door, the second Seth opened it, he was instantly greeted by the tip of a pistol beingpointed at his forehead!
Upon recovering from his shock, he slowly backed off as several guards—dressed in suits—quicklybegan exiting the house together with Suri as well as Seth’s grandfather, both of them held at gunpoint.
“Nobody moves or I’ll shoot!” yelled a middle-aged man—who seemed to be the leader of the group—as over a dozen more armed bodyguards rushed out from the woodshed behind the house.
Currently, everyone—who wasn’t a guard—had at least a few guns aimed at them, though Gerald wasby far the one being targeted the most.
Following that, the middle-aged man excitedly said, “For you to predict that Gerald would be here, youtruly have incredible foresight, eldest young lady! We’ve truly made a great achievement this time!”
At that moment, a young woman and man—who looked rather handsome—walked out and stood sideby side, smiling coldly as they looked at the scene before them.
“The honor of this success actually goes to Fernando here! After all, he was immediately able to guesswho was responsible for the deaths of all those Sime family bodyguards! Following that, we came allthe way here to set up an ambush for Gerald! To think that everything went according to plan! Hahaha!I’ll be reporting this to the Gunters right this instant! We’ll definitely be given a lot of credit for ouraccomplishment this time!” scoffed the woman.
If it wasn’t obvious enough by this point, the woman in question was Matilda from the Sime family. Asstated by Matilda, the young man, on the other hand, was none other than Fernando, the captain of theMartial Arts Association—who had attended a banquet together with Aiden and many others—and waspublicly defeated by Gerald at said banquet the other night.
From the looks of it, it seemed as though they hadn’t given up on looking for Gerald ever since thatnight.
Thankfully for the duo, it wasn’t long before they heard about the tragic deaths of several of the Simefamily’s subordinates. Being part of the Sime family, it was only natural for Matilda to investigate thematter. As for Fernando—who had been recuperating in the Sime Manor—he simply went alongsideMatilda to look into the case.
After realizing that only a top master could have killed this many of their guards so devastatingly,Fernando immediately figured that aside from the Gunters, nobody else but Gerald could possiblypossess such power in Qerton City.
While he was initially slightly doubtful about his conclusion, he still continued digging for clues andeventually wound up at Seth’s house. All that led to the current situation.
To his delight, his assumption had been correct! Gerald truly was here! From that, Fernando was ableto confirm that he truly was the one responsible for killing all those Sime family bodyguards.
“You flatter me, Matilda! If anyone’s to be praised, it should be you! After all, upon hearing my proposal,it was your quick thinking that prompted us to set up this ambush in the first place! Without you, wewouldn’t have been able to capture Gerald this easily!” replied Fernando, a wry smile on his face.
Following that, he glared at Gerald—who had caused his image to plummet the other night—beforesaying, “I bet you never expected this, did you? To think that despite your immense power, you’d stillend up falling right into our hands! Keep in mind that dozens of armed men are pointing their guns atyou now, so you’d best be on your best behavior and obey anything we say! If you don’t, you better notblame us for killing you on the spot!”
“Speaking of which, I suggest that you don’t report anything to the Gunters for the time being, Matilda.After all, just from how anxious they are to locate Gerald alone, you can tell how important he is tothem! With that in mind, should he get picked up by the Gunter family’s subordinates, there’s a highpossibility that we won’t end up getting anything despite all our efforts! Honestly, I believe that it wouldbe wiser for us to directly meet the head of the Gunter family in order to bargain Gerald with them!Should things go smoothly, we could even have the Gunters teach us some of their secret techniques!If that truly happens, then my strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds by the end of theday! Nobody in the Martial Arts Association will ever come close to rivaling me anymore!” addedFernando, his eyes filled with hope for that possible future.novelbin
“You’re absolutely right, Fernando! If we’re lucky, the Simes could get their hands on some of theGunter family’s assets! Who knows, the Simes could end up becoming the strongest and mostinfluential family because of that! We truly are killing two birds with one stone! What an amazing idea,Fernando! My admiration for you now is boundless!” replied Matilda as she laughed joyously.
“Are both of you done chatting? Though you’ve said all that, it’s not like you’ve actually captured me oranything, nor have you notified the Gunters about my presence. Also, are you really trying to threatenme with all those toys?” said Gerald as he glanced coldly at all the men aiming at him.
From Gerald’s point of view, the guards were simply akin to children pointing toy guns at him.
