Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2304
“I can’t say I do…” muttered the leader as he shook his head.
“It’s because you’re smarter than the others, and I intend to train you if you do well. Don’t miss this opportunity,”
sneered Maddox.
“T-thank you, deputy captain…! I won’t let you down!” declared the leader with a broad smile as he quickly began
massaging Maddox’s shoulders.
Meanwhile, Gerald and Aiden were still keeping an eye on things from the forested area. Gerald, for one, had
refrained from getting too close to them since he wasn’t sure whether they had installed any surveillance cameras
nearby.
Regardless, after paying close attention to his surroundings for a while, Aiden was prompted to say, “… There’s a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthouse over there I think…”
Aiden had only been able to see the building’s outline, which explained why he sounded slightly unsure of his
statement. Regardless, upon hearing that, Gerald who had been sitting on a rock for a while now replied, “Indeed…
Either way, what do you think Maddox plans to do? His actions have been extremely shady up till this point…”
“I don’ t know… Maybe he’s trying to hide a corpse?”
“With his rank? He could’ve just told one of his random subordinates to do the deed. With that said, he wouldn’t
have come along if it was just to hide a corpse,” replied Gerald as he shook his head.
“Well… what do you think, then?” asked Aiden.
“I feel that Maddox may be hiding something important here,” replied Gerald, who was only able to clearly see the
exterior of the desolate house from where he stood.
“Could it be Lindsay?” asked Aiden.
“We don’t know that yet.”
“Still… Regardless, are we going to eventually sneak in or are we just going to continue observing from here?”
asked Aiden as he clenched his dagger, fully ready to heed Gerald’s commands.
“Let’s wait a bit more,” replied Gerald as he crossed his legs…
It was sometime later when one of the cars was driven away. Thankfully, Gerald had parked his car behind a few
large trees, and the darkness of night made it even harder for untrained eyes to detect.
Either way, it was almost four hours later when the other cars were driven off as well. After giving the cars a good
look, Aiden couldn’t help but whisper, “… Something’s off.”
“Elaborate,” replied Gerald.
“Well… it’s been raining this entire time, right?” asked Aiden as he continued staring at the boots of the cars.
“For three days in a row, yes. What’s your point?”
“I’m getting to that… You see, when one of the cars passed by us earlier, I couldn’t help but notice that the mud
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtraces on its tires had been raised particularly high In other words, they had probably been transporting quite a lot
of heavy things earlier. With that said, the items have probably been left behind since I was able to discern all this in
the first place,” explained Aiden.
“You’re not half bad!” exclaimed the surprised Gerald a she patted Aiden on his back He hadn’t considered all this
at all!
Feeling slightly embarrassed to be praised by Gerald, the grinning Aiden then sheepishly scratched the back of his
head as he said, “It was just a basic observation…”
“Regardless, I don’t think we should make our move first. Still, we’ve definitely made quite a bit of progress just by
locating this place,” replied Gerald.
“… Huh? Why?”
“As you said, they probably left a bunch of stuff here. However, if they were simply leaving things behind, why did
they have to spend so many hours here? The fact that they also scattered around the area throughout their time
here leads me to believe that they were probably burying traps. Let’s continue talking about this once we’re back in
the car,” explained Gerald as he got to his feet.
