The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 931-940

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 931

It was an hour later when Gerald finally walked out of the valley.

Gerald himself made it out alive since the trench coat he was wearing was specifically designed to protect him from the mosquitoes there.

As he quickly donned on some ordinary clothes, he recalled Jett’s final miserable moments as he died slowly just minutes ago.

Exacting his revenge had finally allowed Gerald to feel a sense of satisfaction after so long. After all, even if Kort’s men were able to track down his son all the way to the mountainous area, Gerald was certain that the Wild Miasma Valley would be the last place they would ever think to search for.

If it all went according to how he envisioned it, Kort would definitely continue searching for Jett for quite a while. During that period, Gerald’s family would finally get a chance to temporarily get some rest.

However, since Gerald wouldn’t be able to return to Weston for a while, he knew that he needed to quickly find someplace else to retreat to, at least for the time being.

Slipping on his backpack once he was done changing, he looked exactly like a fresh graduate. He bore a simple and unadorned look, just like he used to back then.

Just as he was about to decide which direction to head toward, he suddenly heard the loud revving of motors coming from uphill.

Squinting his eyes, Gerald soon saw an off-road vehicle chasing after two clearly worn-out people who were now running toward him. He instantly recognized both of them.

They were none other than the fat biscuit seller and the beauty wearing the black leather pants from before!

“So it’s them…” said Gerald to himself as he quickly put on his cap and lowered its brim slightly.

“H-help! Those people are trying to kill us!” shouted the fat man.

Upon closer inspection, Gerald noticed that the girl had suffered a serious injury and that her leg was bleeding rather profusely. He also noticed that the white box she had earlier been carrying around was now black.

“B-brother, please! Save us! Those people have guns!” cried out the fat man again in his desperation.

Seeing how pale the beauty was and how close the off-road vehicle was already getting, Gerald considered for a moment.

Though the girl had killed off five people earlier, they were all robbers. What more, he honestly couldn’t see her being a treacherous person.

Looking at the ones chasing after them next, he saw that the men in the vehicle were all bald. They also seemed to have either dragon or phoenix tattoos all over them.

Finalizing his decision once he saw one of the men stretching his hand out of the car’s window, Gerald yelled, “Follow me into the valley!”

Seconds after he led both of them into the valley, gunshots could be heard. Tiny stones and pebbles flew all over the place as well, as the off-road vehicle drove over the rocky road.

Eventually, the car came to a screeching halt.

As five bald men exited the vehicle with guns in hand, their leader grumbled, “D*mn it! They run pretty fast! Not to worry, though! I managed to shoot the girl in the leg so they won’t be able to get far! Make sure your guns are loaded, brothers! We’re chasing after them!”

“Boss, don’t! That valley is called Poisonous Mosquito Valley for a reason! If we get attacked by the mosquitoes in there, then we’ll definitely be wiped out in an instant! Even our skin will be completely vaporized… We definitely shouldn’t go in there!” warned one of the bald men.

“Well we can’t just leave without that box of money…” replied the leader rather hesitantly.

“…Humph. Well, if the valley is as dangerous as you say it is, I’m sure they’ll come running out soon! In the meantime, call more of our men over to surround all the valley’s entrances. Be sure to remind them to each have loaded guns with them!” added the leader.

“Right away, boss!”

“F*cking hell! Why are there so many mosquitoes here? What is this place, brother?” asked the fat man nervously as he carried the barely conscious girl deeper into the valley.

“Well of course there would be a lot of mosquitoes. This is the Poisonous Mosquito Valley, after all!”

“The… The Poisonous Mosquito Valley? You couldn’t be talking about the one in the Death Forbidden Land, right?” asked the fat man—who was surprisingly knowledgeable—in surprise.

“Bingo!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 932

Gerald nodded as he said that.

“…Oh god. It’s best that we didn’t go in any further, brother! From what I’ve heard, the mosquitoes don’t even leave any traces of their victim’s skin left! We might as well just get shot by bullets than have to endure through poisonous mosquito attacks!” said the fat man, terrified.

“You should’ve thought about that while you were running toward me earlier. Doesn’t the fact that you did that already implicate that you didn’t mind me dying together with you in the first place?” replied Gerald as he smiled wryly.

The fat man, however, barely even registered any guilt since he was much too terrified of where he was currently at.

Gerald himself was calculating the chance of him surviving if he tried to go against those men. In the end, he was certain that the men would simply release fire from a distance the moment they saw him. Hiding could still be possible at that point, but he’d still end up getting hurt! There just wasn’t any silver linings in confronting the men now.

With that conclusion in mind, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh slightly bitterly before saying, “Come on, follow me. There’s a cave within this valley which we can hide in for the moment! Since she’s already lost too much blood at this point, the girl desperately needs some rest or her life will be in danger soon!”

“S-seriously?” asked the fat man in surprise.

Shaking his head, Gerald continued taking the lead until eventually, all three of them arrived at the cave Gerald had mentioned.

There seemed to be considerably less mosquitoes around this area as well.

“What a miracle! To think there was a spot within this death zone that those mosquitoes wouldn’t gather around!” said the fat man as he gently placed the now unconscious girl on the ground.

“See those green plants out there? The mosquitoes are naturally repelled by their scent! With there being so many of that plant right outside the cave, the mosquitoes definitely won’t be attacking us any time soon as long as we stay in here!”

With Gerald’s immense knowledge of medicinal plants, it was no wonder why he knew the plants’ properties.

As Gerald began checking on the unconscious girl’s injuries, he soon heard her ask, “…Who… exactly are you, brother…? How do you know so much…?”

When he turned to look at her face, she was frowning as she asked the question.

“My identity isn’t important. Regardless, if these wounds don’t get treated soon, you’ll be dead within a few hours! What happened to both of you anyway? Why were those men hunting you down?”

Recalling what she had said to the five burly men before murdering them, Gerald remembered her saying that she wanted to assassinate someone. From her current condition, it was clear as day that her mission had failed.

“That’s right! If I’d had known that you were going to do such a thing, then I wouldn’t have followed you, even if you threatened to beat me to death! You’re really got me in deep trouble this time!” said the young man in a bitter tone.

“Haha! Well, since we won’t be living for much longer anyway, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you guys this! See, my plan was to assassinate a boss at the border of the Salford Province! After all, that b*stard cheated and killed my friends! Since I was able to escape, I’ve been planning my revenge since then!” explained the girl.

“I see. If I may, it seems that you have the background of a martial artist. Did you receive any special training for fighting and assassination as a child?” asked Gerald as he tore some gauze to bandage up her wound.

Upon hearing his question, she instantly began seeing Gerald in a new light.

As she continued staring at him, the fat man broke the silence by anxiously asking, “Hey, hey! Your grievances with those men isn’t what’s important now! You said that we weren’t going to be living for much longer right? What exactly did you mean by that?”

“Haha! Well, knowing Hansel’s way of doing things, it wouldn’t surprise me if his men have already surrounded all the exits to this valley by now. Even if we don’t die to the mosquitoes here, the only other option is to starve to death! Still, I guess I needn’t be lonely in death since the two of you will be joining me!” replied the girl.

“W-what…? You… You’re evil! Pure evil! So we only exist here to cushion your blow?!” said the fat man as his eyes widened in shock and fear.

“To think that you still have the energy to scare him even with that serious injury. Hahaha… Well, since we truly are going to die here together, then we may as well die as romantic ghosts! After all, I’m sure fatty here has never enjoyed the company of a woman before!” said Gerald as he laughed while shaking his head.

“You… Don’t you even dare!” growled the girl as she glared at Gerald.

Ignoring her threat, Gerald then turned to look at the fat man before saying, “Say, fatty. Head a little deeper inside and you’ll find a small undercurrent creek. Get some water for me there. I’m going to disinfect her wound!”

“R-right!” said the fat man as he nodded slightly before fumbling off with a water bottle in hand.

“Alright, while your arm’s only slightly injured, the wound on your thigh is much more serious. That’s going to get infected extremely easily so I’ll need to suck the contaminated blood out before that happens!” said Gerald as soon as the fat man left.

“How are you going to suck it out?” asked the girl.

“How else? With my mouth of course! So… Please spare me the embarrassment and take your pants off if you want me to help you…” said Gerald as he couldn’t help but blush slightly.

In response, she immediately gave him a slap across his face!

“Y-you asshole! Don’t even think about it!” growled the girl as he face turned as red as a tomato.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 933

Due to the environment she had grown up in, the girl had always been particularly sensitive whenever it came to having contact with men. Sensitive wasn’t even the right word in this case. Rather, it was more akin to disgust.

As long as she had to deal with matters involving relationships between men and women, she simply couldn’t help but feel utterly sickened. It could sometimes even get so terrible that she felt disgusted simply being in the presence of men.

It was why she barely felt guilty when she said that they should just die together earlier.

Gerald himself had never expected for such a cold and indifferent girl to put up such strong resistance.

“Look, I’m just trying to save your life here. If we don’t treat your wounds now, it’ll definitely come to bite you back when we make our escape later. Do you really need me of all people to tell you what’s going to happen should you fall into their hands?” persuaded Gerald.

“…You…”

Hearing that, the girl was momentarily stunned.

It was obvious that she was having an internal struggle at that moment with how tightly she was clenching her fists.

“…Fine! But close your eyes throughout the process or I won’t hesitate to slice your neck!” said the woman with a frigid tone.

“Lady, you’re making it sound as though I’m that desperate to look at you!”

“Well then turn around already! Close your d*mned eyes as well!” ordered the girl as Gerald obeyed while shaking his head.

Moments later, he heard the familiar rustling of a person undressing behind him.

Though the girl was a little cold, Gerald had to admit that she really was a true beauty. While any other ordinary man would surely be tempted to give a peek, Gerald easily refrained from that temptation. After all, he truly didn’t have any other intentions aside from treating her wound.
