Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 961

“…That… Well, when he grabbed you, I simply took the chance to slide down the slope! All I needed to do after that was to take a detour back to where the cars were!” explained Gerald.

“I see! I didn’t expect you to be that smart!” replied Tulip in shock.

Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head in silence.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Gerald squinted his eyes and saw that several other luxury cars were currently speeding toward them. Once the cars surrounded the area, Tulip immediately yelped.

“Oh god! That’s my dad’s car! Nicole must’ve told him that I’m here! I’m definitely ruined now!” said Tulip as she quivered in fear.

Seconds later, a middle-aged man stepped out of the car and walked toward her before anxiously asking, “Are… Are you fine, second young lady…?”

“H-humph! If you had arrived any later, then you wouldn’t have been able to see me anymore!” replied Tulip, a hint of fear still lingering in her voice.

“Thank goodness we made it in time, then… Nicole was the one who alerted me that you could be in danger. As a result, I immediately brought all these people here. How wonderful that you’re safe!”

As it turned out, a few men had chatted with Nicole earlier while the race was going on. After chatting for a bit, Nicole found out that the big-haired man wasn’t a usual here. In fact, this was the men’s first time meeting him as well. What more, he was apparently filthy rich. After all, Dominic ended up booking the entire racetrack that day!

Upon finding out about that, Nicole instantly became vigilant about him. After all, if he truly was that rich, why wasn’t he driving an expensive car?

Knowing that it would be better to be safe than sorry, Nicole immediately notified her father about the chain of events.

“So it seems that my guess was correct, Tulip… What kinds of dangers did you have to face? Speaking of which, where’s your car?” asked Nicole in a worried tone.

Hearing that, Tulip then began describing what had happened to her. However, her version of the story had been slightly altered.

According to Tulip, she had pretended to be bait to attract the attention of the two kidnappers. While they were going after her, Gerald had taken the chance to knock those two people unconscious!

After getting the details he needed, Mr, Liske immediately sent a few men up the mountain. The remaining men were told to surround the entirety of Bloomlin Mountain for investigation purposes.

Once that was done, Mr. Liske nodded at Gerald with a smile before saying, “I’m sure this is the Mr. Crawford you’ve been talking about. Do know that the Yowell family is indebted to you for your kindness this time around. As thanks for saving the second young lady, we’ll certainly provide you with a great reward once she meets up with the master.”

“It’s fine. Tulip is my student, after all.”

“Then how about this, Mr. Crawford? For now, allow me to send you back to the university in one of our cars.”

“I’d appreciate that.”

With that, Mr. Liske ordered a team of cars to send Gerald and his students back to the university.

Upon returning, Gerald told his students to return to class first. Gerald himself prepared to return to the office. The moment he got there, however, he immediately heard someone shouting, “Something’s gone terribly wrong!”

He truly wasn’t expecting to receive more bad news right after he had to deal with all that.

As he watched a few lecturers run outside, he casually stopped one of them before asking, “What happened?”

“It’s Miss Swift and Mr. Yoxon! They seem to have gotten themselves into quite a bit of trouble! See, during their joint lesson earlier, there was apparently a student who was quite arrogant in Miss Swift’s class! While he was smoking in the washroom during recess, he ended up getting into a fight there with students from other classes!”

“In the end, the arrogant student was beaten up terribly. However, that wasn’t the end of the incident! While we honestly just wanted to wait for the university to deal with the situation, Mr. Yoxon was adamant about dealing with it immediately. As a result, he led the male students from his own class over to the neighboring class, which was the class of those who had beaten up Miss Swift’s student.”

“While Mr. Yoxon had gone over to reason with them, he failed to realize how bad his own temper was. After the argument turned unpleasant, he ended up beating up one of the male students!” explained the lecturer.

“So that’s what happened… How imprudent for lecturers to beat up students!” said Gerald as he shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

However, it was clear as day that Quinlan had only done so to impress Marjorie. After all, it was evident that he had a crush on her.

Sighing, the lecturer then added, “It’d be fine if that was where all the trouble ended, Mr. Crawford… Sadly, it isn’t. Do you know which student he beat up?”

“Go on…”

“Well, the student’s the son of a rich man in Heavenly City! Since the rich man has a close relationship with the underground forces of Heavenly City, the student declared that he would call some people over! Something terrible is definitely imminent now!” said the female lecturer before running off to the scene.

Seeing that she was running toward the scene of the incident, Gerald simply walked in the direction she was headed to. He was following her mainly because his class was currently also in the same location and he wanted to check on his students.

As was expected, the entire Biology course’s corridor was crowded with people.

“Here you are, sir!” said Specky as soon as he saw Gerald. Since the corridor was completely blocked by a wall of people, his students weren’t even able to return to class to have their lesson.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 962

“How are things looking?” asked Gerald.

“Well, the lecturer who took our laboratory time from us was beaten up! Mr. Yoxon’s in deep trouble now! After all, he offended the young master of the Lightburn family! If you aren’t aware, the young master of the Lightburn family is under the protection of underground forces!” explained Specky.

Hearing that, Gerald looked ahead and saw Quinlan surrounded by a group of men donning black suits. Marjorie and a few other female lecturers were also present, all of them frozen in fear.

“We’re far from done!” shouted one of the men in black as he glared at Quinlan. Quinlan himself appeared to have several clear slap marks on his cheeks.

As the university’s chancellor continued trying to calm the situation down, Quinlan simply wiped the blood off his glasses before sneering, “It’s fine, chancellor. Just let me make a call and everything will be settled.”

“Humph! Be my guest! Let’s see who you call over!” scoffed the man angrily.

Shaking his head, Quinlan then took his cell phone out before dialing a number.

Seeing how confident Quinlan still was, Marjorie couldn’t help but feel a sense of assuredness in her heart.

Everyone else was getting increasingly excited as well. Who was Quinlan going to call over?

“You know, I heard that Mr. Yoxon is from Talgo Town!”

“I heard the same thing too! From what I know, all sorts of cruel people live there!”

“Indeed! Speaking of which, my dad told me that there’s a powerful force in Talgo Town that even has territories in the Heavenly City! Could Mr. Yoxon possibly be calling someone from that group over?”

“Well, that possibility certainly isn’t out of the question!”

Throughout the next twenty minutes, the more well-informed students continued discussing the incident until a few of them finally pointed out of a nearby window before shouting, “H-hey! Look down there!”

As the rest of the students looked out, they were shocked to see at least a hundred black luxury cars driving toward the university. By the time the cars stopped, the area was completely surrounded by them.

Following that, several black-suited bodyguards began getting out of the cars before swiftly making their way to the corridor everyone was currently in.

Due to the imposing aura each of them possessed, all the students simply stepped aside, making way for them to proceed.

Those who were too slow to act, however, were immediately shoved aside as the overbearing bodyguards shouted, “Step aside!”

As Gerald found himself being pushed aside as well, Marjorie and the other female lecturers began biting onto their lower lips in excitement as they watched the scene further unfold.

Realizing how dominant the other party was, Mr. Lightburn’s men found themselves getting more dispirited by the second. In the end, all of them stepped forward to begin negotiating.

“Are you alright, Mr. Yoxon?” asked the leader of the bodyguards.

“Could you perhaps come from Talgo Town, gentlemen? I wonder which force you belong to?” asked Mr. Lightburn’s men.

“We belong to one of the families there. However, it was the Royal Dragon Group who ordered us to come here this time around,” replied the leader as he respectfully gave way to another man in black.

“I beg your pardon? You’re from the Royal Dragon Group, you say?” asked the opposing guards, stupefied by the turn of events.

After all, the Royal Dragon Group was considered to be a very powerful dark horse in Heavenly City. In just a single night, it had acquired all five forces in Talgo Town. The group had even blocked an entire road in Heavenly City! Those from within that group were truly vicious people!

As a result, being only a small force in Heavenly City, Mr. Lightburn’s men really didn’t dare to offend the Royal Dragon Group.

“That is correct. Mr. Yoxon’s father is an ally to the Royal Dragon Group. Due to that, The Royal Dragon Group will now deal with this issue. Which force do you belong to? I do hope you’ll give us some respect,” replied the man wearing sunglasses, coldly.

“But of course!” replied Mr. Lightburn’s men as they nodded with a smile.

“How could we just settle things like this, Bryan?” said Mr. Lightburn, unwilling to just accept defeat like that.

“Please just endure it for now, Mr. Lightburn. The Royal Dragon Group has been looking for targets all over the place. Even the boss has ordered us not to ever offend them,” whispered Bryan in response.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 963

Though he was dissatisfied, Mr. Lightburn wasn’t a fool. After listening to what his subordinate had to say, he understood what was at stake if he continued pushing on with the issue. Because of that, he didn’t say anything more.

Gerald’s Royal Dragon Group itself had developed at an immense rate in the past few days. After all, it now had help from the five forces it had acquired in Talgo Town. What more, both Tyson and Drake—who had been beaten up terribly by Sven—were now back at Gerald’s side.

Though their main base was still in Talgo Town, they had recently begun developing in Heavenly City as well. Their efforts in doing so, of course, had been greatly aided by the Westley family.

“The Royal Dragon Group truly is a powerful dark horse!” muttered Specky—who had been standing next to Gerald this entire time—to himself.

“I wonder how they got so powerful so quickly…” asked a few girls who heard Specky’s comment.

“Well, from what I’ve heard, the Royal Dragon Group’s boss is extremely powerful! I’ve also heard that the bosses of the five forces surrendered themselves only after a single round! Because of that, nobody dares to block their path in the entire Heavenly City now! Well, except for Sven, probably… He still hasn’t returned though!” explained Specky who seemed extremely well-informed about the entire situation.

Regardless, Quinlan was now extremely smug and in high spirits. After all, now that the Royal Dragon Group had stepped forward, the incident he was involved with was as good as solved.

Following that, he then began heading to the chancellor’s office together with Marjorie and a few others to discuss some issues.

As they passed by Gerald, Marjorie took a glance at him. However, she only shook her head slightly and moved on without even greeting him.

From her middle school days till she was in university, Marjorie had always enjoyed her status as a goddess admired by all. However, once she graduated from university, she knew it was high time for her to get a boyfriend. Of course, not just anyone was going to be able to be her boyfriend.

Upon meeting Gerald the first time, she had truly admired him. After all, he was a handsome young man who had a good disposition to boot! Quinlan, on the other hand, was lacking in every aspect that Gerald succeeded in, or at least that was what she assumed based on her first impression of them.

After getting to know them a bit more carefully, however, Marjorie realized that Quinlan was hands down the more suitable candidate to be her boyfriend.

As for Gerald, he was a nobody to her now. Because of that, her attitude toward him completely changed as well.
