The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1701

And after that, Gerlad and the others turned around and walked away…

Before left, the woman clasped the gold coins in her hands and stood there for a long time.

They arrived at their final destination that evening, and after some search, they discovered a suitable hotel to stay the night in.

Everyone began relaxing once they were done unpacking because all five of them were going to share a room tonight.

Though Ray had been sitting on one of the beds by this point, he could not help but say, “…

To be completely honest, Mr. Crawford, I believe we should depart Dragonblood City as soon as possible. In light of this, it’s highly likely that the Hulkeroic Union will seek revenge against us after we’ve committed this act.

Even though the Hulkeroic Union had tremendous political and military might in Dragonblood City, it only followed that they would quickly discover that four of their disciples had been slaughtered, and this is why Ray is so concerned.

Having understood that it would be disadvantageous for them to remain in enemy territory for too long, Gerald nodded as he said, “I understand your reasoning.” It’ll be fine. We’ll just sit here tonight and leave the city early tomorrow morning.

Gerald himself did not want to devote a significant amount of time and energy to the Hulkeroic Union. There is no doubt that getting tied up with that group would only slow him down on his very important mission. Based on what was previously stated, the sooner they could depart from this place, the better their chances of avoiding any problems.

During that moment, the sound of glass shattering could be heard within the hideout of the Hulkeroic Union.

It was due to an enraged tiger-cheering audience member who threw a teacup to the ground, causing a great sound, that Master of the Hulkroic Union Tiger Layfield ended up having his cup shattered on the stage.

Scowling at the pieces of broken pottery scattered on the floor, the Tiger gave a ferocious roar as he cursed: “How dare they kill four of my brothers from the same union!” I will never allow them to get away with it if it is the last thing I do!

According to what we have discovered, the person who oversees the deaths of our men is likely to be younger. He is accompanied by four other adventurers as well! And according to what I’ve heard, they should still be in Dragonblood City!” replied Xuio Curtice, a scarfed man who had called himself Xuio previously, as he looked at Tiger. His title was Master of the Hulkeroic Union, the second master.

At that point, Tiger began to snarl and say, “This makes sense. Start sending our men out immediately to search every nook and cranny of Dragonblood City! Whoever is responsible for this must be brought to justice. Dead or alive. “No one gets away with messing with the Hulk-Union and gets away with it!”

To say nothing of those of the Hulkoco Union, no one in the city had ever tried to anger them. Now that four of the union’s disciples had been murdered, it felt as if a direct challenge to authority had been issued, at least to Tiger. It certainly gave the explanation for why he was so irate.

Xuio found no issues with Tiger’s command, however it could be that the case was something else entirely. Knowing better than to incur the wrath of Tiger again, he wisely held his tongue. As he was leaving the hall, he treated it with the utmost respect by first announcing his departure. Even in the evening, the night was certain to be confusing and maddening.

The following day, Xuio gathered the several union members he had in his employ and then led all of them on a tour of Dragonblood City. While mounted on horses, the men began to search the properties of every household from the roof to the cellar, with or without permission from the residents who were residing there.

In the midst of the mayhem, not only the residents of the city but all the citizens of the region were affected. Among the individuals found outside of the city, people who were not citizens of the Hulkeroic Union were savagely interrogated and mistreated. No matter what, they were going to track down Gerald and his group, regardless of the situation.

This, as you may have already surmised, was an unsuccessful tactic, as Gerald and the others, who were already asleep in their rooms, were consequently awakened.

After peeking out the window, Ray found a group of people staring outside, which he interpreted as them having taken interest in the neighbourhood.

Gerald noticed how pale Ray had become, and this prompted him to ask, “What’s wrong?”

I, it is the people of the Hulkeroic Union…! Based on the above, it is most likely that they came for you! said Ray as he turned to face Gerald.

Is that so?” And then… Should we do anything different now?

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1702

Gerald couldn’t help but frown when he saw Nori’s concern when she asked that question. It’s incredible that the Hulkeroic Union would act so quickly.

Gerald then obeyed after a brief pause, “…

Pack your belongings. For the time being, we’re going up to the roof!”

When the others heard this, they quickly followed the instructions. All five of them then leaped onto the roof from the hotel window shortly after. The plan now was to lie down and watch how the situation unfolded…

When Xuio and his men barged into the hotel, it was barely seconds after they had gotten onto the roof.

Xuio learned that the ones they were looking for were here after questioning the hotel’s owner. Xuio immediately directed the hotel owner to take them to Gerald’s room.

When Xuio arrived at the door, he slammed it open with a loud ‘bang’ and told his men to rush in!

They quickly realised, however, that the room was empty!

Xuio raised an eyebrow at the hotel owner before growling, “Where are they?” Didn’t you say they were going to spend the night here?”

“I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- They’re all going to sleep in this room…! Mr. Curtice, I assure you that none of them left through the front door! Please believe me!” whimpered the hotel owner, fearfully looking at Xuio.

Seeing how terrified the hotel owner was, Xuio knew he wouldn’t dare to tell him the truth. He looked out the open window after noticing it and exclaimed, “…They must have escaped through the window!” We must go after them right away!”

With that, Xuio and his men dashed out of the hotel, galloping away on their horses.

Gerald and his group, unfortunately, had never left the hotel. They spent the entire time on the roof!

Gerald and the others descended from the roof and re-entered their room through the window after ensuring that Xuio and his men had left.

They saw the hotel owner standing there dazed as soon as they walked in.

Gerald was prompted to walk over to the hotel owner after being surprised to see him in such a terrified state.

When the hotel owner noticed him approaching, he took a few steps back before sprinting over to a corner and curling up, whimpering, “P-please sir…!” Please don’t put me to death! I don’t have a clue!”

“…Kill? I’m not thinking of anything like that, boss! I was just approaching you to tell you not to tell anyone else we’re still here! Also, consider this. Consider it extra compensation!” Gerald said as he removed a handful of gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the hotel owner.

The most dangerous places were usually the safest, as the saying went, and that was certainly true now. Since Xuio and his men had already raided the location, there was no reason for them to return. With that in mind, Gerald and his companions may be able to remain hidden here for the time being.

Regardless, once the hotel owner realised Gerald wasn’t after his life, he gladly agreed to his request. Gerald handing him such a large sum of money pretty much sealed the deal that he wouldn’t be making things difficult for Gerald anytime soon.

Gerald and his group hid there for an entire day after the hotel owner had left.

The group of five dared to leave the hotel only after the upheaval subsided on the second day…

However, as soon as they did, they were greeted by a female voice calling out, “My benefactor!”

When the group turned to face the source of the voice, they realised it was the woman Gerald had saved the day before!

Gerald, with a slightly raised brow, inquired, “Why are you still in the city?”

“Putting that aside, benefactor, I know you’re in trouble! With that in mind, I implore you to join me! With a serious expression on her face, the woman replied, “I’ll lead you to a safe place where they won’t be able to find you!”

All of them seemed to believe in her, exchanging glances with one another. With that in mind, the five-person group began following her lead…

“Hmm?” someone exclaimed after the group had been walking for quite some time.

If it isn’t Miss Zorn, who is it?

All six of them came to a halt when they heard that and turned to see who had said it…

“Oh, it’s you,” says the narrator. With a snort, the woman replied, “To what do I owe this pleasure, young master of the Wroe family?”

It was clear from her response that she did not have a positive impression of the youth. Gerald and the others had no trouble figuring out why.

After all, it only took a single glance for them to notice that he was a hedonistic child with wealthy parents.

The young man’s name was Quaan Wroe, and he was the Wroe family’s young master, as the woman had stated. The Wroes were well-known for their strength, especially in Dragonblood City.

Quaan had already entered the Sage Realm’s Third-soul-rank, according to Gerald’s observations, demonstrating that the Wroe family’s strength was not exaggerated.

“Oh, Miss Zorn, don’t be so cold! Regardless, I heard your older sister lost in the martial arts competition. That just goes to show how inept the Zorns have become! Considering you don’t even have any martial arts skills, I suppose it’s safe to say you’re the most humiliating member of your family!” quipped Quaan, his words dripping with contempt.

Meilani Zorn was the woman’s real name, and she was the Zorn family’s second daughter. Juno was her sister’s name, and she had progressed to the Sage Realm’s Second-soul-rank.

Meilani lacked any martial arts skills, as Quuan had stated. As a result, her family never had a positive impression of her, and her sister was always given priority over her.

“It appears that my sister hasn’t taught you a lesson in a long time, because you’re free to wait around just to mock me!” grumbled Meilani as she glared at the arrogant individual.

Quaan responded with laughter, “You misunderstand me, Meilani!” Why would I make fun of you? No, I’m only here to find out who beat your older sister! Just in case I happen to run into them on the street! If I do, I’ll make sure to teach them a lesson in honour of your sister!”

Gerald couldn’t help but chuckle in his head as he watched Quaan brag so brazenly. How naive and amusing for someone only in the Sage Realm’s Third-soul-rank to be so arrogant!

“…Hmm? Isn’t it true that you’re not pulling my leg?” Meilani inquired, her mood shifting from grumpy to curious in an instant. You could see the gears in Meilani’s head grinding if you paid close enough attention…
