Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1408
Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Peter momentarily averted his gaze. Clearing his throat, he thensheepishly replied, “…Regarding that… I haven’t had any reason to go into combat with him… As forclues about him, I don’t even know his true identity yet… Well, that was the case before we bumpedinto Wes, of course. From what Wes told us, it’s now safe to assume that the managers from the largeareas will be the key to us getting our next clue! Also, I have a feeling that since he’s now starting tomake his appearance, he’ll definitely be reappearing again!”
“Whatever the case is, I’ll definitely be capturing that stalker if he truly is the one responsible for allthese incidents!”
It was at that moment when Wes—who had been shivering this entire time—flopped feebly to theground before falling unconscious.
Seeing that, Gerald immediately lifted the fainted man up before saying, “With how long he’s beenimmersed in that freezing water, I’m sure his internal organs are now damaged! I’ll be saving him first,Second uncle!”
As Gerald walked off—with Wes in his arms—toward a room in the manor, Peter turned to face Zyla, aworried expression on his face.
Seeing that, Zyla knew that he realized that she had already caught on. With that in mind, she mincedno words as she asked, “Judging from all that you’ve said… Could you be from Jaellatra too? Was itthe Sun League who brought you there?”
“It appears that I can’t hide anything from you, Miss Lockland! Then again, it’d be hard to hide anythingfrom your deity eyes!” replied Peter as he bowed slightly at Zyla.
“Well, your training is quite similar to Leo’s, so I had my suspicions that that was the case. Regardless,why didn’t you tell Gerald the entire truth just now?” asked Zyla, curious.
“If you’re talking about the stalker, it’s not that I didn’t want to… I just don’t want to place the blame onthe stalker till I’ve absolutely confirmed that he’s the one responsible for all this. The other reason isbecause Gerald’s undergone enough hardships and mental suffering for the time being… I fear that if Itell him who I suspect the stalker to be, he won’t be able to accept it and end up in complete denial!”replied Peter as he shook his head in worry.
“The truth seems hard for you to accept as well.”
“Regardless, I hope that everything will continue proceeding for the best from now on!”
“Indeed. Still, despite all the hardships he’s had to go through, all of them are simply part of his destiny.From the moment he was born, he was already destined to be extraordinary. With that in mind, he’snever going to be able to live life as an ordinary person!” said Zyla.
“That’s true… Well, what do you think Gerald should do in the future?” asked Peter.
“Though his training is already at a terrifying level, his Dehlere Foundation is still ruined. In other words,it’s evident that he won’t be able to achieve a state that’ll enable him to deal against those people yet!With that in mind, I’m quite worried about what’ll happen next!”
Peter was honestly most worried about this.
From what Peter could tell, there was a high chance that his brother, Queta, and the others weren’tgoing to be in life-threatening danger any time soon… After all, Peter had a gut feeling that the persondoing all this simply kidnapped them so that they could be used to threaten Gerald. Should thatscenario come to be, Gerald would certainly have to face a lot of trouble.
This was due to the fact that at his current strength, there was simply no way for Gerald to even comeclose to defeating those truly powerful people.novelbin
At that moment, Gerald returned from the room and asked, “Zyla? Second uncle? What are youdiscussing?”
“We’re talking about your ruined Dehlere Foundation…” replied Zyla as she turned to look at Gerald.
“I know it’s ruined… But I really don’t have the time nor energy to let it recover! After all, the priorityright now is to investigate where my family members are! The second I’m done with that, I’ll need toinstantly begin investigating the pledge of the holy water next to look for my grandpa!” said thedistressed Gerald.
“While I understand your urge to immediately begin investigating, even if you eventually manage to findthe truth behind these incidents, I assure you that you’ll be facing great danger throughout thatprocess. What happens if you lack the strength to defend yourself against that? With that in mind, you’llbe able to investigate without any worry of that issue should you heal your Dehlere Foundation first!”advised Zyla.
Nodding in agreement, Peter then said, “What she said is true, Gerald. Your priority should definitely beto heal your Dehlere Foundation. Do note that Miss Lockland and I both have our hopes on you…”
