Ch. 1336..1340: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1336-1340
Chapter 1336
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1336
“Who is it?!”
The other four men also reacted at this moment.
This was because this person had come forward at such a fast speed, and this group of people could not even see what was going on.
So, they hurriedly took out their daggers, one after the other.
“Mr. Crawford said that you guys deserve to die!”
That’s right. This person was none other than Leo.
Gerald and Leo had been following the aura, and they had followed it all the way here, only to witness the scene that was unfolding before them.
This was when Leo had decided to take action.
“Who the heck is Mr. Crawford?! We are from the Sime family! Are you tired of living?! You’d better let go right now!” The few men said at the same time.
“Mr. Crawford said that the people from the Sime family deserve to die even more!”
After he was done speaking, Leo exerted some slight force. After that, the person in his hand was thrown about twenty meters high up into the sky.
It felt as though Leo was simply throwing a chicken into the sky.
After he had fallen to the ground, he struggled a few times, and then, there were no longer any more movements from him.
“What?!”
When the few men saw this, they were all in shock.
They immediately threw their daggers to the ground, one after the other, before they knelt in front of Leo.
“Master! Please spare our lives, master!”
However, Leo did not care so much.
All he could remember was that Mr. Crawford had said that these men deserved to die.
So, Leo simply snapped and broke the necks of the two remaining men in an instant.
After the pair of siblings were saved, they hugged each other in fear.
The scene just now had absolutely frightened the girl to death.
Right then, she looked at Gerald and the murderous uncle who was slowly walking toward them.
“You don’t have to be afraid. We will not hurt you!” Gerald said as he walked over with a smile on his face.
“Thank you! Thank you for saving us!” The girl said as she nodded slightly.
Gerald looked at the girl as he used the Thunder Godly Pupil to observe her.
The aura came from this girl indeed, but the aura on her body seemed to come and go.
It seemed as though she had an adaptable body, but on the other hand, it seemed as though she did not have one.
Based on the situation, it was very likely that she had come into contact with another person with a suitable adaptable body. Moreover, her encounter with this person had happened not too long ago.
“You don’t need to thank us. Since your brother is holding a bamboo basket, could it be that the both of you were heading up the mountain to gather some medicinal herbs?” Gerald asked.
The girl protected her brother who was already wounded and bruised all over after getting beaten up as she nodded.
She was obviously still afraid of Gerald and Leo.
“The both of you live in this village?” Gerald asked again.
The girl nodded again.
“If there is nothing particularly important or urgent, it would be better for you not to head up into the mountain. It is too dangerous for the both of you. What are you going to do if you run into a wild beast there?”
When Gerald saw that the both of them seemed to be quite fearful of him too, Gerald did not want to continue asking them too much.
“We have to go up the mountain to gather some medicinal herbs so that we can brew some medicine for my grandfather!” The young boy spoke up at this time. “Furthermore, I am not afraid of any wild animals or beasts. I can sense them and know even before they come near us!”
“Hm?”
Gerald glanced faintly at the young boy who had been badly beaten up.
Gerald only smiled wryly and did not say anything else. He simply nodded before he left.
“Mr. Crawford, it seems as though that woman does not have an adaptable body!” Leo, who was beside Gerald, suddenly spoke up.
“That’s right. Although she does not have an adaptable body, she must have been in contact with someone who has an adaptable body. We will go back and give uncle the medicine to treat Sierra first. After that, we will come back and look for them again!”
After Gerald was done speaking, the both of them quickly left and disappeared very soon.
“Sister, the both of them have already gone far away!”
At this time, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy suddenly said at the entrance of the village. He had been lying down on the ground, as though he was listening to something.
“How many times have I told you not to let any strangers know about your abilities? We do not even know who they are and what kind of people they are. Brother, are you still hurting?” The girl said.
“No, I am not in any more pain. Let’s go! We can go into the mountain to gather some herbs. I want to gather some Cherish Herbs to treat Rosie’s mother. Rosie has always been very kind to our family! Besides that, that brother and uncle who saved us just now have also been very kind to us and have done us a very huge favor!” The young boy said.
Chapter 1337
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1337
At this time, Gerald and Leo had already returned to Gerald’s uncle’s house in the shanty town.
“Gerald, why are you only back now? Did you encounter any trouble along the way?” Monica asked as she hurriedly came forward to greet him when she heard Gerald’s voice.
“Fortunately, it was just some small obstacles!” Gerald said as he nodded slightly.
“Gerald, who is he, then?” Monica could not help but wonder when she saw Leo, who was dressed in rags.
“He is my friend. Monica, help me clean up the guest room later. I will talk to my uncle so that Leo can stay here for the time being! By the way, Monica, where is uncle?” Gerald asked as he looked inside the house.
“Uncle went out to run some errands!” Monica said.
“I have already gotten the medicinal herbs that are needed. I will go and help Sierra change the dressing for her wounds first. After that, I will accompany Leo to buy a shirt! We still have something else that we have to do tomorrow!” Gerald said.
“Ahh?! Why are you so busy? I wanted you to teach me some of your skills!”
Monica looked at Gerald with a pouty expression on her face. However, she listened to Gerald’s instructions and went to clean up the guest room.
Gerald spent two hours helping Sierra change the dressing on her wounds.
This way, after Sierra’s arm recovered, there would be no scar, and it would be perfectly reattached.
After they were done eating, Gerald brought Leo to his room. They were preparing to return to that village tomorrow. This time, Gerald would certainly be able to find a suitable adaptable body for the lady in white.
To be honest, it was a little wicked to be seeking an adaptable body.
After all, according to Leo, if a soul lingered on in an adaptable body for more than ten days, it would cause severe damage to the original soul in the body.
For instance, Gerald did not even know whether the original and genuine Queena was dead or alive at this time.
Gerald could not help but feel a little self-reproach when he thought of that extremely kind young girl.
Although he was not the one who had brought this upon her directly, he was indirectly related to this incident no matter what it was.
If he had not made the mistake of entering another realm, he would not have made the mistake of releasing her and letting her out.
So, this time, Gerald was already prepared to search for many adaptable bodies.
Gerald was also willing to compensate them regardless of how much money they would ask for it.
If everything went well, he would be able to successfully save the lady in white.
Gerald would also constantly help her change her adaptable body so that they could avoid harming or taking any innocent lives.
As for that pair of siblings, they were an extremely important and invaluable clue.
Early the next morning, Gerald and Leo went to the village.
What Gerald would not have expected was that the young boy whom he had rescued yesterday would actually be squatting in front of the entrance of the village as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village.
He was holding a knife in his hand, and he was slashing at the place where the bodies had flown around yesterday!
After killing those men yesterday, Leo had casually thrown their bodies on the grass by the roadside.
When Gerald walked over, he saw that the scene had already been cleaned up.
“Big brother! Uncle! The both of you are already here?”
As soon as the young boy saw the both of them, he hurriedly stood up as he asked in surprise.
When Gerald and this uncle had saved him and his sister, he had realized that this uncle was extremely well-versed in martial arts.
As for this elder brother, the young boy could feel that he was even more mysterious.
So, they had left a very deep impression on the young boy.
“Hm? It looks like you’re waiting for someone. Could it be that you were waiting for us?” Gerald could not help but ask as he smiled wryly.
“Yes, I was waiting for the both of you! I could hear you coming toward the village. So, I knew that you must be here to look for me and my sister. Moreover, you seem to have said that you needed my sister’s help yesterday!” The young boy said.
Gerald and Leo exchanged glances with one another at this time.
It seemed as though this kid was not as simple as he looked.
It was only then that Gerald suddenly thought of what the young boy had said before they had parted ways yesterday.
Chapter 1338
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1338 He had said that he could hear and sense danger, and he could escape as soon as he predicted that there was any form of danger.
That was the reason why he was not afraid of any wild animals or beasts in the mountain at all.
“How can you hear it?” Gerald asked.
If it was true, this young kid was indeed a little special, then. Gerald could not even sense anyone or anything all the way to the shanty town which was so far away, but this young kid could actually sense him coming in advance. It was rather mysterious!
“Hehe! My sister said that this is my biggest secret! By the way, big brother, uncle, why are you looking for my elder sister?” The young boy said.
“Why don’t you take us to see your sister first? To tell you the truth, I have something that I need your sister’s help with!” Gerald said frankly.
“Okay!”
After that, Seth led the two men toward his house.
“Brother Gerald, Uncle, can the both of you teach me some fighting moves? I want to be as strong and powerful as both of you so that no one will dare to bully me in the future! I can only run away when I sense and predict danger. However, there is no way for me to fight back at all, just like what happened yesterday when those b*stards caught hold of my sister!”
Seth begged on the way back home.
Seth did not know why, but he felt as though Leo, and especially Gerald, were particularly easy to approach and get close to.
That was the reason why Seth dared to speak his mind in front of them.
“You want to learn some fighting moves from us, but you have not told us how you have such supernatural powers. How did you know that we were going to come and find you today?” Gerald asked as he smiled wryly.
Of course, Gerald would not make Seth reveal his secret to him in vain. If Seth were to tell him his secret, Gerald would certainly help him to get what he wanted, then.
“That is a secret, and it is my biggest secret. But Brother Gerald, you have to keep your promise. If I tell you my secret, you and uncle will have to teach me how to fight, then!” Seth said.
He was truly very interested in martial arts.
Leo smiled before he said, “Even if you did not tell us about your supernatural powers, we could also guess what it is. Young kid, you must be clairaudient, right?”
“Clairaudient?”
Gerald was surprised.
This vocabulary sounded very strange and mysterious to him.
Even Gerald would not have known this.
However, it was obvious that Leo seemed to know even more than Gerald did in certain aspects!
True enough, Seth was extremely surprised, and his eyes widened in shock as he said, “Uncle, how could you tell at a single glance?!”
“Hahaha! Some people have the same skills as you or even stronger skills than you have where I came from!” Leo said in a domineering tone.
“However, it seems as though you have not received any special training at all. So, how is it possible for you to possess this kind of ability, then?” Leo asked as he scratched his head.
“My guess was right indeed. The both of you are truly people with great abilities! Hehe. I am indeed clairaudient. Based on my calculations, I think that I can hear sounds up to about five hundred miles away. That is how I can sense if any dangers are approaching.” Seth said.
“Sigh! I originally thought that I would be able to make a fortune because of this magical ability that I have. However, I realized that being clairaudient does not mean anything at all. I cannot make any money, and I cannot even afford to treat my grandfather’s illness. That is why I have to go into the mountain to gather some medicinal herbs!” Seth said as he sighed.
“Leo, how do people gain clairaudience? I’m guessing that they must have gained this ability through a certain method, right? I don’t think an ordinary person would be able to become clairaudient simply through any cultivation or training!” Gerald asked out of curiosity.
“Well, we will have to ask this young kid, Seth, about it. We should ask him how he became clairaudient. When I transformed in the beginning, the abilities that I gained were infinite strength!” Leo said.
“Moreover, some sort of elixir is needed to achieve that kind of mutation!” Leo said.
Gerald nodded.
‘Leo came from Jaellatra, which is a very strange and mysterious place.’
‘Many abnormal changes and transformations can occur there. Therefore, it would be understandable if a person went through a transformation there. However, Seth has been living here all this while. So, how did Seth come to possess a certain special ability just like Leo, then?’
Gerald could not help but wonder.
So, he hurriedly asked Seth about it.
Of course, Seth was not a foolish person, and he was actually very witty and intelligent.
Therefore, Seth only told Gerald the truth after he had made Gerald swear repeatedly that he would teach him martial arts after he had told him everything.
“Brother Gerald, I gained this special ability inside a snake cave in the mountain when I was twelve years old. I ate one of the fruits there, and then I ended up like this. Besides that, there were many weird paintings and murals inside the cave…”
Chapter 1339
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1339
“Where is that snake cave?” Gerald asked as stared intently at Seth.
This world was indeed very amazing. Since Seth could encounter such good luck and fortune with his hearing, there had to be other hidden secrets inside that snake cave.
Gerald speculated that if that were indeed the case, he would have to go and take a look at that particular snake cave.
“It is up on the mountain. I still remember the exact location of the snake cave. Brother Gerald, I can take you there later if you want!” Seth said.
“Okay! I will have to trouble you, then!” Gerald said as he nodded.
Seth’s name was Seth Laird, and his sister’s name was Suri Laird.
Their parents would often be away all year round, and the both of them usually lived with their grandfather.
However, Seth’s grandfather was weak and frail, and he needed medicinal herbs to preserve his life.
Seth also mentioned another sister named Rosie Slow as he spoke. Suri was Rosie’s personal secretary, and Rosie was the one who was giving them the money that they needed to treat their grandfather’s illness.
Therefore, Seth had always regarded Rosie as their savior and benefactor.
If Gerald’s guess was right, Rosie had to be the person that he was looking for. This would be the only way that he could explain the source of the adaptable body aura on Suri.
“Sister, look who’s here!”
At this time, Seth shouted out loud as he stood in the yard.
Not long after that, Suri walked out of the yard, and the whole yard was instantly filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
“Where did you run off to again? Dr. Hadskis is checking grandpa’s pulse now. Quiet down a little!” Suri said.
After she was done speaking, she looked at Gerald and Leo who were standing behind Seth.
She was startled for a moment before she said, “It’s you guys…”
It was obvious that Suri still had a strong sense of fear in her eyes.
Although Gerald had saved her life, the way that they had killed those men yesterday would make any ordinary woman feel scared and afraid.
Also, just as Gerald had expected, there was no longer any aura lingering around Suri’s body at this time.
“Miss Laird, we do not have any malicious intentions. However, there is something that I need your help with. I will do you a favor if you can do me a favor. How about that?” Gerald asked as he smiled.
“I… how can I help you?” Suri asked as she pulled her younger brother to her side.
“I heard Seth saying that the only woman that you have been in contact with yesterday is none other than Chairman Rosie Slow. So, I would like to ask for your help to arrange for me to meet up with her!” Gerald said.
“You want to look for Chairman Slow?” Suri asked, a little worried.
Gerald simply nodded before he walked toward the medicine jar where the medicine was being decocted.
“This prescription of yours will only treat your grandfather’s symptoms, but it will not be able to treat the root cause of your grandfather’s illness. If your grandfather takes this medicine for a long time, he will not only grow more and more dependent on the medicine, but his body condition will only deteriorate even more!” Gerald said.
“You… who are you guys?!”
It was obvious that Gerald was right, and the expression on the latter’s face changed in an instant.
“Sister, Brother Gerald and this uncle are good people, and they are also people with great abilities. They are looking for Sister Rosie because they want to ask her for her help so that they can find someone. Also, Brother Gerald has already said that he will help us heal grandpa!” Seth hurriedly said.
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s real!”
“Seth, this is an oxyblood pellet. Split it into twelve portions before brewing it for your grandfather. You can feed it to him once every month for the next twelve months. Your grandfather’s illness will be fully cured after a year!”
As Gerald spoke, he handed an oxyblood pellet over to Seth.
“You don’t even need to check my grandfather’s pulse first?” Suri asked in surprise.
“No. I can already guess what kind of illness your grandfather has simply by looking at the prescription. We have no other ill intentions. We simply want to ask Chairman Slow for her help with something
important!” Gerald said sincerely.
Suri struggled for a while, but based on Gerald’s pristine appearance, she could tell that he was not lying to her.
So, she nodded as she said, “Okay. I will help to arrange a meeting with her for you. However, Chairman Slow is not available right now as she is currently in a meeting. She will only have some spare time later in the afternoon!”
At this time, Gerald suddenly received a text message on his cell phone.
[Hurry up and come back! Something has happened!]
It was a text message from Monica.
“Hm?!”
Chapter 1340
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1340 Gerald felt a little apprehensive as soon as he saw the text message.
What could have happened in the shanty town?
It seemed as though his uncle had not returned yet.
No. He would have to rush back to take a look.
At this time, Gerald raised his head to look at Seth.
“Seth, could you help me listen and see whether something is happening in the shanty town that I came from?” Gerald asked.
Seth hurriedly agreed.
Then, he knelt on the ground as he listened attentively.
“Yes. It seems as though many people have suddenly appeared there. Many people are all gathered together currently. However, I do not know what is going on!” Seth said.
Gerald frowned as he thought about the situation.
This was bad!
It had to be the people from the Gunter family!
Felton was the one who had injured Sierra, and his uncle was the one who had fought back and driven him away.
So, the Gunter family would not let them off just like that. Moreover, they would certainly know of their whereabouts.
A hint of anger flashed through Gerald’s eyes at this time.
“Leo, let’s go back!”
At the shanty town.
Seth’s hearing was indeed accurate.
All of the people in the village had indeed been gathered out on the main street of the shanty town.
Moreover, it was a group of masters from the Gunter family who were watching over them at this time.
Monica could not escape, and they had captured her as they brought her before Felton.
Felton was standing with his hands behind his back at this moment as he squinted slightly.
“Where is Gerald? You’d better tell me right now. Otherwise, my subordinates are going to start killing these people now! This time, that master will not be here to save all of you!” Felton said coldly.
“I do not know who Gerald is! You are that b*stard who cut Sierra’s arm off! You are simply a beast who will not even let a child off!” Monica was extremely furious, and she simply glared at Felton as she cursed angrily at him.
When Felton heard this, he simply shook his head as he smiled bitterly.
“I know that there is a master hiding here in this shanty town. Perhaps you are not afraid at all. However, I think that you should not try and take any more chances. I already have a way to deal with that person. This time, I am not only looking for Gerald, but I also want to look for that man to take
revenge on him! So, beauty, if you don’t want to end up like that stinky brat and have your arm cut off, you should just tell me the truth right now!” Felton warned her once again.
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand as he grabbed hold of Monica’s neck.
“I do not know who Gerald is!”
Monica stretched out her hands to hit Felton as she struggled to get out of his grasp.
“Well, alright then. I can tell that you people will not give in unless you see blood! Since that is the case, I will kill a few of you right now to set an example for the others!”
Felton put some strength into his arm, and he was already prepared to break Monica’s neck.
At this time, the other masters from the Gunter family were also prepared to kill a few people.
“Young lad, you will pay with your life!”
A loud voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
This voice was very deafening and loud, and it came before anyone appeared with a sudden burst of dust.
After that, a small pebble broke through the rising dust as it flew directly toward Felton’s temple.
Felton subconsciously let go of Monica as he dodged the pebble.
The pebble pierced through a thick tree directly.
Felton took two steps backward as he knitted his brows tightly together.
“A master! This shanty town is indeed not that simple!” Felton said, smirking in anger as he looked at the two figures that were walking toward him at this time…
