Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1224
Their current goal was to get the thief to head to South Street. Once he was there, they would force him into the trap and capture him as soon as possible.

With that in mind, Aiden quickly drove there and within five minutes, they arrived at the street.

Upon arriving at the scene, Gerald saw that they were only five personnel waiting for the thief on South Street. Aiden truly wasn’t kidding when he said that their manpower was scarce.

“How’s the situation?” asked Aiden the second he came close enough to the group that was already there.

“As stated earlier, we’ve already locked onto Maverick and he’s going to be arriving at South Street any second now. We’ll be trying to stop him from advancing any further here. Speaking of which, why are there only three of you? Didn’t you say that you managed to get more capable hands?” asked the leader of the other team who was a rather tall woman.

Hearing that, Gerald instantly stepped out of the car. He had remained seated inside earlier since he was busy observing the surrounding terrain. After all, if he was going to stop the rapist, then he first needed to check the area for any possible escape routes that the criminal could use.

While Gerald already had excellent skills, abilities, and confidence, he was being extra careful since Aiden had already mentioned that the criminal was an extremely cunning person.

Adding that to the fact that he was also doing this to help a close friend, Gerald wanted to be as careful and meticulous as he possibly could. Another reason he was being this careful because Gerald was well aware that he couldn’t use his inner strength yet. If only he could, then he would’ve easily subdued the rapist without much issue, even if the criminal had managed to run a few kilometers away!

Regardless, he had finished scanning the area anyway, which was why Gerald wasn’t hesitant about stepping out now.

However, the moment he revealed himself, the woman—who was standing beside Aiden—instantly said in a surprised tone, “…Gerald? What are you doing here?”

Upon hearing that name, another young man from her team came running toward her side, a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

“It’s truly been a long time since I’ve last met you, Gerald. I only heard about what happened to you upon returning to Mayberry City. From what I was told, you broke off from your family and went missing shortly after! Color me surprised to see you in one piece now!” said Maia as she looked at him in surprise.

However, she quickly returned to her snobbish attitude. After all, she was no longer shocked about the fact that Gerald was actually rich now. With that in mind, she then asked in a tone that suggested that she was superior, “So, what are you working on now?”

“I’m not working. I simply returned since I have something to do. I’m also here to help Aiden!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face.

“…Help?” said Maia and Warren simultaneously, this time truly caught off guard.

With both of them simultaneously turning to look at Aiden, Maia then asked, “He… He’s the help that you invited over…?”
