Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1702
Gerald couldn’t help but frown when he saw Nori’s concern when she asked that question. It’s incredible that the
Hulkeroic Union would act so quickly.
Gerald then obeyed after a brief pause, “…
Pack your belongings. For the time being, we’re going up to the roof!”
When the others heard this, they quickly followed the instructions. All five of them then leaped onto the roof from
the hotel window shortly after. The plan now was to lie down and watch how the situation unfolded…
When Xuio and his men barged into the hotel, it was barely seconds after they had gotten onto the roof.
Xuio learned that the ones they were looking for were here after questioning the hotel’s owner. Xuio immediately
directed the hotel owner to take them to Gerald’s room.
When Xuio arrived at the door, he slammed it open with a loud ‘bang’ and told his men to rush in!

They quickly realised, however, that the room was empty!
Xuio raised an eyebrow at the hotel owner before growling, “Where are they?” Didn’t you say they were going to
spend the night here?”
“I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- They’re all going to sleep in this room…! Mr. Curtice, I assure you that none of them left through
the front door! Please believe me!” whimpered the hotel owner, fearfully looking at Xuio.
Seeing how terrified the hotel owner was, Xuio knew he wouldn’t dare to tell him the truth. He looked out the open
window after noticing it and exclaimed, “…They must have escaped through the window!” We must go after them
right away!”
With that, Xuio and his men dashed out of the hotel, galloping away on their horses.
Gerald and his group, unfortunately, had never left the hotel. They spent the entire time on the roof!
Gerald and the others descended from the roof and re-entered their room through the window after ensuring that
Xuio and his men had left.
They saw the hotel owner standing there dazed as soon as they walked in.
Gerald was prompted to walk over to the hotel owner after being surprised to see him in such a terrified state.
When the hotel owner noticed him approaching, he took a few steps back before sprinting over to a corner and
curling up, whimpering, “P-please sir…!” Please don’t put me to death! I don’t have a clue!”
“…Kill? I’m not thinking of anything like that, boss! I was just approaching you to tell you not to tell anyone else
we’re still here! Also, consider this. Consider it extra compensation!” Gerald said as he removed a handful of gold
coins from his pocket and handed them to the hotel owner.
The most dangerous places were usually the safest, as the saying went, and that was certainly true now. Since Xuio
and his men had already raided the location, there was no reason for them to return. With that in mind, Gerald and
his companions may be able to remain hidden here for the time being.
Regardless, once the hotel owner realised Gerald wasn’t after his life, he gladly agreed to his request. Gerald

Gerald anytime soon.
Gerald and his group hid there for an entire day after the hotel owner had left.
The group of five dared to leave the hotel only after the upheaval subsided on the second day…
However, as soon as they did, they were greeted by a female voice calling out, “My benefactor!”
When the group turned to face the source of the voice, they realised it was the woman Gerald had saved the day
before!
Gerald, with a slightly raised brow, inquired, “Why are you still in the city?”
“Putting that aside, benefactor, I know you’re in trouble! With that in mind, I implore you to join me! With a serious
expression on her face, the woman replied, “I’ll lead you to a safe place where they won’t be able to find you!”
All of them seemed to believe in her, exchanging glances with one another. With that in mind, the five-person group
began following her lead…
