Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1348

What more, for a person to so casually hand a blank cheque to someone and tell them to just write however much they wanted… How wealthy was he even to be able to just say something like that?!

Understanding that he had almost offended this powerful figure earlier, Titus now truly felt like dying.

Regardless, though Gerald simply chose to ignore Titus as his hand grasped the doorknob, he suddenly heard another person—from behind him—calling out, “Brother!”

It was Hiro, and the injured man—who had finally managed to struggle to his feet—flopped onto the sofa before adding, “I… I was using my full strength against you earlier, thinking that you’d never be able to withstand my blow… But you were simply too powerful just now…! Tell me, brother, how much strength did you actually use on me earlier…?”

Turning back to casually look at Hiro, Gerald simply replied, “Strength…? I barely used any at all! Truth be told, it was just a simple wave of my hand!”

“…What?!” exclaimed the stunned Hiro as Gerald simply walked out the door without turning back.

It was at that moment when Rosie was finally willing to believe that this honest-looking man truly was an authentic, outstanding, and mysterious top master. He was so powerful that quite honestly, Rosie felt like she had no other choice but to trust in him.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder why he wanted to borrow her for three days… Was he… planning to do something with her…?

Then again, he had already spent so much money to compensate her, and he was even willing to treat her mother… Why would he do all that just to spend some time with her…? Perhaps…

As several messy thoughts ran through Rosie’s mind, she found herself quickly snapping out of it. What the hell was she even thinking about!

Her pretty face now blushing extremely hard, Rosie simply began running after Gerald.

…

Meanwhile, back in the Gunter Manor, Yreth was facing one of her subordinates as she asked, “Well? Have you managed to contact Felton yet? Didn’t he head out to capture Gerald? Why isn’t he back yet?”

“Why do we even need to capture him, grandma…? He bears no grudges or grievances against us, and he was even planning to pay you a visit before this! With that in mind, why did you have to collude with the Judgment Portal to harm him…? Can’t all this be settled just by having a good chat with him…? Once that’s done, you can just let him off, right…?” pleaded Yume, her eyes reddened.

“Hah! You truly have fallen head over heels for him! I really can’t imagine what sort of magic that kid has… Ever since you were young, you’ve always despised and rejected any guys who’ve tried to make advances on you. Despite that, to think that you would actually end up getting enchanted by him after getting to know him for just a few days!” retorted Yreth, clearly feeling exasperated since she felt that Yume wasn’t living up to her expectations.

“…L-love…? I’m not…!” replied Yume, blushing hard as she nervously tugged on her own clothes to calm herself.

“Who do you even think you’re kidding? Regardless, I hope you know that aside from achieving the Gunter family’s goal, grandma’s anxious to find him for your own good as well! I’m saying it now that you falling for him is only going to end up in tragedy! It’s simply destined that you won’t ever be able to be together with him! He just isn’t someone within your grasp! Can’t you understand what I’m trying to say here…?” said Yreth, feeling extremely tempted to lose her temper. However, she was an old and experienced person, which was why she switched her initially vicious expression into a resigned one as she looked at her granddaughter.

“…Why… Why do all of you keep saying that I’ll never have a happy ending with him…? How can all of you just say that so confidently?!” replied Yume in a panic, her heart now filled with immense anger and resentment as she recalled Master Ghost’s words back then.

“…Mind you, I shouldn’t be telling you about this yet, but if I don’t, I truly am afraid that you’ll be silly enough to do something stupid in future! So be it! I’ll tell you everything today!” declared Yreth as she took in a deep breath.

Her expression now solemn, Yreth then turned to look at Yume before asking, “Tell me… Do you truly know who Gerald is…?”
