Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (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 about some 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…? Aiden never 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 Gerald wasn’t

interested in them in the slightest.

Regardless, Fernando himself was now half-crippled due to that single kick. In other words, as soon as he 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 incident definitely

caused quite a major uproar among the Simes. After all, not only was Fernando a rising star in the Martial Arts

Association, but he was also the one who had received special training from the Gunters, one of the major secret

families.

He had been planning to participate in the trial training the following day too, but it was obviously impossible in his

current state.

To think that Fernando had ended up being beaten up this badly just because of some misunderstanding the Sime

family’s young lady—Matilda—had with Gerald! The Simes had simply paid too 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 man from the

Gunter family—who was there as a guest—were greeted to the sight of Fernando’s terrible state as the other Simes

were carrying him in. This, of course, prompted Shandon to inquire his daughter about what had happened. The

middle-aged man himself was well acquainted with the Dawsons, 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 to this point.

Once she was done, the middle-aged Gunter took a look at the photograph before immediately narrowing 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?” asked Shandon, stunned.

The third master went by the name of Shaun Gunter, and his role was to mediate communication between the

Gunters and the outside world. Due to that, it was no surprise that he was quite close to the Simes.

“I’ve seen photographs of him before, and this is undoubtedly Mr. Crawford from Mayberry. You have no idea how

vicious and potent his mysterious martial arts are. I’ll have you know that this person single-handedly ended the

lives of all the Moldells from the North, the Longs, and even the Schuylers from the Salford Province!” explained

Shaun.

Hearing that, Shandon’s eyes widened so much that they looked like they were going to pop out of his head 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 come to meet the

Gunters. In fact, Lady Gunter—the master of the Gunter family—had predicted that he would come sooner or later

quite some time ago. With that in mind, she had ordered me to receive him upon 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, his fear evident in

his voice.

“I’d say so. Regardless, just to remind you how powerful he truly is, I heard that people from both the Squad 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 emphasize your 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 even dared 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 capture him in the

first place? Not only that, but the Gunters are also…” asked Shandon as the end of his sentence trailed off.

“Let’s just say that he has something special with him. As long as one is able to obtain that special something, 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 also wish 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 quickly breathed 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 the hotel 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 from the 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 we can’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 ease throughout this period

of time… With that in mind, I truly don’t wish to waste my time and energy on the Simes, at least for the moment!”

Before Chester could reply, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something lying on the table in the room.

Squinting his eyes slightly, the puzzled Chester then said, “…Mr. Crawford, it appears that someone may have

entered the room…”

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

much…”

“…Wait, no, that’s not what I’m talking about! Look there! On the table! Someone’s left you a note of sorts, inviting

you to meet them!”
