Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1268
“Mr. Crawford! You’re finally awake!” shouted Jace who seemed to have been sitting beside him this entire time. Realizing that his wounds had been bandaged, Gerald now knew that Jace had been the one who had stabilized his condition.

“I am… Thank you, Dr. Mabb…” replied Gerald as he held onto his wounds.

Recalling that he had almost been killed by Tiara and those eight men, Gerald turned to look at the Smiths as he asked, “Aunt Helen… Uncle Smith… Were you the ones who had rescued and brought me here…?”

As he awaited their reply, Gerald faintly remembered himself desperately pleading the jade pendant to help him back then. He also recalled the sudden burst of energy that emitted from his body before eventually passing out. Naturally, he had no idea what happened after going unconscious.

“That’s right, Gerald… You almost frightened us to death earlier, you know? You sent all nine of them flying into the air in all directions! Sensing the opportunity to escape, we then quickly brought you back with us!” explained Helen who was very obviously still terrified after witnessing all that had happened today.

Following that, Helen explained how Tiara had brought some of her men with her over to their house not long after Gerald left. Since Gavin, Rita, and Helen just so happened to be serving Lady Smith at the time, all three of them ended up getting kidnapped by Tiara and her men!

Eventually, all that led to Tiara besieging Gerald.

From what Helen had told him, Gerald deduced that Tiara must’ve previously been unable to find him in Mayberry, even after days of searching. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to do all this just to weed him out.

Putting Tiara aside for the moment, Gerald began thinking about the jade pendant. It appeared that the pendant wasn’t as simple as Gerald had initially thought. After all, it practically saved his skin earlier.

Before he could delve any further into it, Zack—who had also been present this entire time—suddenly said in a worried tone, “You really scared us half to death earlier, Mr. Crawford! By the time we got there to carry your unconscious body over, you were completely drenched in blood!”

“I truly had a near-death experience earlier, that’s for sure… Regardless, where are we?” asked Gerald, suddenly realizing that he was someplace unfamiliar.

“We’re currently in a villa that’s halfway up Mountain Top. While we’re on the topic, I’m glad to announce that we’ve already managed to punch a hole through the mountain! We should be able to locate what you’re looking for soon, Mr. Crawford!” reported Zack.

“…I see! That explains it!”

Gerald was, of course, talking about how strongly the jade pendant had reacted at the time.

Though the guards all had electric batons in hand, not one of them even dared to step forward to attack him. It was evident that this was their first time seeing such an insanely strong person.

Feeling extremely moved to see his close friend alive and kicking again, Gerald called out, “Chester…!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Chester’s body began trembling ever so slightly as he raised his head to see if it really was Gerald. Upon getting that confirmation, Chester called out extremely slowly, “M… Mr… Crawford…!”

The way he was speaking was reminiscent of a toddler who was barely able to speak clearly yet. Despite that, Gerald knew that Chester was fully sober from the look in his eyes alone. He truly had no idea what method had been used to bring Chester back to life.

“Yes, it’s me, Chester!” replied Gerald while looking straight into his brother’s eyes.

Chester had taken a killing blow for Gerald back then to save his brother, and Gerald had always felt guilty about that. Regardless of what Chester even was now, Gerald couldn’t help but feel happy to see him alive…
