Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1367
According to Peter, the group of people were moving at extremely high speeds, and true enough, Jasmine was soon able to hear their swiftly approaching footsteps!
It wasn’t long after before a dozen or so people bounded out from the jungle, and the second the person—who seemed to be the leader of the group—saw the duo, he immediately excitedly shouted, “We’ve found them! Surround them immediately!”
He was right to be excited. After all, if all went well, then his group would definitely get the honor of making a great contribution since they were the first to locate Jasmine. Even the eyes of the eleven other men lit up, thinking that their victory prize was standing right before them.
“W-what should we do, uncle?! All of them are extremely powerful!” said Jasmine rather anxiously. Since she had stayed by Queena’s side for so long, she already knew how strong her men were.
“Haha! They can’t hurt us if I keep them where they currently are! Now stand back, Jasmine!” replied Peter with a faint smile as he opened the bag—that he had been carrying around this entire time—and retrieved a bow that seemed to be made out of black gold as well as an arrow.
By the time Peter aimed at the twelve men, there was only about a three hundred meter gap between them.
The second Peter released the arrow, however, Jasmine watched wide-eyed as the arrow turned into pure light before homing in on all their assailants! Staring in disbelief as the ray of light pierced through each of them, by the time the dust cloud—that had formed due to the immense force of the light arrow—finally settled, all twelve of the men were already lying unconscious on the ground!
The light itself returned to Peter’s hand before promptly taking the form of an arrow again.
Taking in a deep breath, Jasmine found herself muttering, “…Y-you’re so powerful, uncle…! Are they dead…?”
“No, I only knocked them out. After all, none of them actually did anything bad to you. They won’t be waking up for at least another three days, though! Regardless, let’s go! I’m sure Gerald will be thrilled to meet you again!” replied Peter with a gentle smile.
By the time both of them got to their destination, night had already fallen.
At the time, Gerald himself had been busy preparing for the evocation that night. The second he realized that the man had saved Jasmine, however, Gerald was instantly overjoyed.
“…Sir! …Jasmine, you…?” muttered the surprised Gerald, unsure where to even begin asking.
The fact that he had been able to escape Queena’s grasp while Jasmine remained captured had constantly made him both anxious and worried for her safety. Now that she had finally been rescued, Gerald could finally rest a bit easier.
“Well, seeing that you kept mentioning her, I thought I could help eliminate one of your worries by rescuing her!” replied the man as he looked at Gerald with a smile.
“That sounds excellent, Gerald! You now have an additional bargaining chip in hand!”
“Indeed! As for this big guy here, he’s called Leo, and he’s a friend I got acquainted with while I was at King Valley!”
Hearing that, Peter retracted his odd gaze as he looked at Leo with a smile before saying, “…I see! He appears to be an exceptional man with extraordinary strength! It seems that you truly had a rewarding trip! Speaking of which, what are you planning to do with those?”
Noticing that Peter was asking about the sacrificial altar that had been set up, Gerald then explained that he was planning to summon the woman in white’s soul here.
Extremely pleased to hear all of Gerald’s progress, Peter then said, “Well, since it’s only going to be taking place at midnight, why don’t we have dinner together? After all, it’s still quite early now and it’s pretty difficult for us to get together like this!”
“I agree! It’ll be a reunion dinner!” added Jasmine with a smile.
“A… reunion dinner…?” asked Gerald, slightly puzzled.
