Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1312
As for the refining and heating process, Gerald had memories of a skill called fire control that—while was more
profound than the process carved on the cliffs—was also much easier to do.
However, since Gerald hadn’t even practiced the art of pill-making before, it was hard for him to pinpoint the more
minor differences.
Regardless, just as Gerald was about to head back—now that he was done looking at the carvings—he suddenly
heard a sweet voice from behind him saying, “Hello there, handsome! Could you please help me out? My kite’s
gotten stuck in a tree and I’d appreciate it greatly if you gave me a hand!”
Turning around to see who the owner of the voice was, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of an
extremely beautiful and pure-looking girl—who was wearing white sportswear and had her hair tied up in a ponytail
—looking at him from under a tree, her expression rather anxious.
Due to how distressed she looked, Gerald found it rather hard to refuse her request, so he simply headed over to
her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrue to her word, the kite could be seen lodged atop a tree, and though Gerald could’ve easily gotten it for her—
through the use of his skills—under normal circumstances, the incident that had happened back at the Gunter
mansion had taught him not to display his skills so openly.
With that in mind, not wanting to put his life at risk just to make things a little easier, Gerald then headed over to
the tree to begin climbing it.
Just as he was about to start climbing, however, he noticed the girl taking a step back… before a large net sprang
up from the ground!
The next thing Gerald knew, he was already hanging under the tree!
Since the net was made of gold wire, Gerald knew that he needed to use his inner strength to break free. Not
wanting to resort to that just yet, he then glared at the girl before coldly asking, “What do you think you’re doing?”
At that moment, several young men and women—donning traditional clothing—began revealing themselves as they
walked toward the scene from multiple directions.
“Hahaha! We’ve caught one~! We’ve caught one~! Go call Sister Fleur over and tell her we’ve caught some bait!”
cheered the girl from before in glee.
After someone ran off to notify that ‘Sister Fleur’ person, it wasn’t long before they returned together with a
woman who looked to be around the age of twenty-three.
The moment the boys in the group saw her, their eyes instantly lit up with excitement as they nodded respectfully
toward her before greeting, “Sister Fleur!”
“Sister Fleur, look! I remember you saying something along the lines of being short of bait, right? Well, I’ve caught
one for you!”
“Yenna, do you even know who this is…? And why have you hung him up like that?” asked Fleur as she walked over
with her arms crossed, studying Gerald the entire time.
As Fleur looked at her younger sister with a bitter smile, Yenny Yateman then replied, “Beats me! While I was
initially planning to capture one of the lower-ranking people here, none of them dared to come over despite my
excellent acting! Just when I thought all hope was lost, I saw this stinking guy wandering casually around our valley!
Who could’ve guessed that I would be successful in capturing him! Haha!”
“Yenny, what if he’s the son of one of the wealthy businessmen here who’ve come to ask for medicine? If that’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreally the case, then we’ll surely be in a lot of trouble!” reasoned one of the youths there as Fleur waited for her
younger sister’s response as well.
“I doubt it! After all, I’ve observed this guy for quite a while before actually capturing him! Also, I really don’t think
that he’s a big shot since he’s dressed so ordinarily. Since he just came over to help without even questioning my
motives, he’s clearly an idiot as well! Haha! Though, if you need confirmation, I’ll just ask him now!” replied Yenny
triumphantly.
With that, she picked a branch off the ground before pointing it at Gerald and demanding, “Hey! Brat! Tell us, are
you the son of some rich businessman or something?”
Gerald wasn’t even sure how to reply. After all, he didn’t really have a clear grasp of the situation yet. From what he
could tell, these youths were all from the valley, though he still had no idea what they were planning.
Not knowing what to do, he simply shook his head.
“Hah! See? I told you he wasn’t anyone important! Also, since he was acting pretty sneakily in those ordinary
clothes of his, I have a hunch that he actually snuck in! With that in mind, it’s only right for us to use him as bait!”
declared Yenny.
After giving one final glance at Gerald, Fleur finally gave in and instructed, “…Alright then. Hold onto him and take
him away!”
