The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1192
Albert had a hint of contempt in his tone as he asked the question while looking at Gerald.
The butlerâs disdain was warranted since unlike him and the other upper-class people at the ceremony, Gerald stood out like a sore thumb in his commoner clothing.
âNo, I do not. Regardless, Iâm from Mayberry, and Iâve come here today to meet the young lady of the Smith family and hand her an invitation card.â
âAn invitation card? From whom?â
âI apologize, but I canât tell you the details!â replied Gerald.
Gerald was only saying this according to how Riley had instructed him to. Even so, Gerald truly didnât know who the owner of the invitation card was. After all, not only was it unnecessary for him to pry, but he wasnât interested in finding out in the first place.
At that moment, Riley ran out before saying, âLet him in, Albert! As heâs said, heâs come all the way from Mayberry so he must be here on a mission!â
Riley leading Gerald into the place was also naturally part of the plan.
ââ¦Oh? Well, since youâre a friend of the Smith family, I suppose itâs fine. Let him in!â ordered Albert who naturally needed to show respect due to the relationship between Cundrie and the young master.
With that said, Riley walked over to Geraldâmaking sure to make a face at him while sticking her tongue outâbefore dragging him in.
Not long after, the scene slowly returned to its initial atmosphere.
Even so, Abner found himself looking at Gerald before grumbling, âAre we just supposed to let him off that lightly? I find that difficult to bear!â
âDonât be impatient! Worry not, for Iâve just made a call with some simple preparations in mind. Now that heâs entered this place, I guarantee that he wonât be able to leave this hall alive!â replied Xyon, his ruthlessness reflected in his eyes.
Hearing that, both Abner and the woman exchanged glances before looking at Xyon once more in admiration. After all, both of them were well aware of how strategic he was.
True to Abnerâs words, just as Mr. Snyder took in a deep breathâready to begin the eventâhe was interrupted by a group of over twenty people rushing into the hall from outside as they shouted, âLet us in! We must capture that thief!â
While the group appeared to only consist of mere vendors, all of them had indignant expressions on their faces.
âWhat is the meaning of this!â shouted the bodyguards who were still trying to push the group back after failing to deny them entry.
âWhat are you b*stards up to!â roared Mr. Snyder as his expression stiffened. His anger was warranted since something like this was happening while several international big shots were present!
âWe wish to meet Mr. Snyder! We want him to seek justice for us!â shouted the vendors as they continued trying to barge further inside.
Upon hearing that, Mr. Snyder signaled for his subordinates to allow them in before sliding one hand in his pocket and asking, âJustice? What sort of justice are you seeking? Whatâs the full story behind this ruckus?â
âYou see, Mr. Snyder, we were just doing our businesses as usual when this person suddenly stopped by to steal our things! As if that wasnât enough, he even seriously hurt a few students from the kindergarten! After finding out that he came all the way here to hide, weâd like to ask why you took such a thief in, Mr. Snyder!â replied one of the vendors as all of the othersâwho had come with himâ
instantly began pointing angrily at Gerald.
Several of the big shots were now exchanging glances with each other after hearing all that.
âTo think that a thief actually managed to get into this place⦠Why are the Snyders even doing?â
âYeah! Also, hurting kindergarten kids? How brutal and inhumane!â
Whispers discussing the situation soon filled the place as the crowd slowly grew more and more dissatisfied.
There was no need to doubt how genuine their claims were either. After all, over twenty people had rushed into this place just to capture a single person! Everyone was now keen on finding out what Mr.
Snyderâwho was infamous for having a bad temperâwould do.
Knowing that his next action would make others judge his morality, Mr. Snyder was well aware that he needed to perform well. With that in mind, he then glared daggers at Gerald before saying, âTo think that you came over to my familyâs ceremony to hide after committing so many sins⦠Coming here after causing such a scene, Iâll have you know that youâre definitely courting death!â
âHe wasnât the one who did it!â persuaded Riley who truly hadnât expected the situation to get so fired up.
After so many people had stepped forwardâclaiming that Gerald was the perpetratorâMr. Snyderâs slowly growing murderous intent was only making her initial plans go more and more off course!
Gerald himself was now casually looking at the people who had called him out. Though they were all dressed up in common clothes, all of them were a little too energetic to be simple vendors.
It was evident that all of them were proficient in martial arts. Taking a look at the father and son of the Gross familyâwho were standing at the sideâGerald easily put two and two together.
