Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1303
“But it’s true, uncle! I’m not pulling your leg at all! Just take a look if you don’t believe me! I’m telling you this
charming little lady’s eyes resemble yours a lot!” persisted the woman.
As he watched her signal for him to take the photograph from her already outstretched hand, the old man simply
looked at her for a while before giving in and taking it from her.
The second he got a clearer look at the person in the photograph, he seemed to momentarily freeze in place. He
was so shocked that he couldn’t even hold onto the photograph properly, resulting in it falling to the floor.
If it wasn’t obvious enough, the girl in the photo was Queta.
Seeing him trembling like that was a first for the woman. Adding that to the fact that his expression had changed so
much upon looking at the photo, the woman couldn’t help but ask in a worried tone, “…Uncle? Is something the
matter…?”
Quickly picking the photograph up again, he then replied, “…I’m fine. Everything’s fine… Speaking of which, I’m

With that said, he then hastily turned around before leaving.
“…He’s acting rather strange…” muttered the woman to herself as she scratched the back of her head.
Though she was mischievous in nature, she always obeyed that man’s words. With that, she then sat by the bed
with her eyes closed, both hands over her cheeks.
Opening an eye to look at the resting youth, she was instantly caught by surprise. Since the middle-aged man had
wiped the blood off Gerald’s face earlier, she now saw that Gerald was, in fact, quite handsome.
Stretching her hand out, she gently pinched his face before saying, “You look quite handsome, you know? Still, the
more I look at you, the more I feel that your eyes resemble uncle’s slightly… I wonder why…”
In truth, the woman had always secretly admired that middle-aged man. After all, though he was ugly, that man’s
demeanor was always graceful and his behavior was nothing short of gentlemanly. What more, he was also
extremely mysterious.
Whenever she asked him about how he had gotten all those wounds on his face, he always replied with the same
thing, stating that he was simply burned badly. As for photographs of him in the past, there were none to even
speak of.
That fact alone saddened the woman greatly. After all, she was extremely interested in knowing how he looked in
the past.
After staring at Gerald for some time, her ears twitched as she turned to look at the door. There, the man sat as he
smoked quietly.
‘…He really is acting extremely strangely today!’ the woman thought to herself.
The man himself was looking at Queta’s photo again as he continued smoking. If one were to pay closer attention
to him under the light of the moon, they would be able to see his body trembling slightly as tears slowly began
welling in his eyes, his gaze at the photograph filled with adoration.
After being in a daze for quite a while, he eventually kept the photograph carefully. Looking up at the night sky, his
initial tears were no longer there. Instead, it was replaced with a look of resoluteness and ruthlessness.
“The incident will be settled sooner or later… It isn’t far from now!” declared the man coldly as he glared daggers
at a large and remote mountain in the distance…

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal were currently assembled at the Gunter family manor’s
brightly lit hall within Ancient City.
At that moment, Yreth—the old lady of the Gunter family—was sitting at the seat of honor as she exclaimed in
shock, “…What? Hogan’s been defeated? But how is that even possible! Gerald’s merely a weak, small fry
compared to Hogan! How was he actually able to escape?!”
Hogan was an exceptional man who had already achieved the middle stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. With that kind
of strength, he was a frightening man who could do pretty much whatever he pleased.
The Gunters themselves were well aware of how terrifying he was, since before they had formed an alliance with
Judgement Portal, they had attempted to fight that beast of a man. Despite how exceptional the Gunter family
members were, none of them were any match for Hogan, and they all ended up getting utterly defeated. That
alone painted the image of how strong that man truly was.
Since the Judgement Portal had sent Hogan over to capture Gerald this time around, the Gunters had assumed that
everything was already in the bag. They were so sure, in fact, that they even had Gerald’s jail cell prepared!
Shockingly enough, not only was Gerald able to escape, but Hogan also ended up getting terribly injured!
Hogan himself was currently lying on a chair, his expression extremely ruthless as members of the Judgement
Portal continued bandaging his wounds.
