Chapter 1222
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1222 âHah! If he really intends to beat me up then Iâd gladly allow him to make the first blow!â sneered Zacky as he got up and began walking toward Gerald.
Gerald himself had just made up his mind that whatever his next course of action was, he still needed to find Noelle first.
Before he could leave, however, he suddenly heard someone calling out, âHey, kid! Hold on a minute!â
Sensing that a firm hand was attempting to grab onto his shoulderâbefore he could even turn to see who was calling himâGeraldâs body instinctively went on the defensive.
With Zackyâs hand inches away from his shoulder, Gerald tilted his shoulder slightly, causing a rebound in energy that immediately sent Zacky flying backward!
It was only after knocking over at least a dozen tables and chairs that Zacky finally came to a halt!
âF*ck!â shouted Zacky, feeling as though he had just suffered a massive defeat as he clung onto his now-numb arm.
Even the boss and the other man had already stood up by this point, both having bitter expressions on their faces as their eyelids twitched rapidly. They were both well aware of how strong Zacky was, and under regular circumstances, no normal man could ever hope to defeat him! With that in mind, that broken-hearted kid was terrifyingly powerful!
âStop right there, kid! You canât just walk away after hitting someone!â shouted the two men as they instantly began approaching Gerald, intent on grabbing him.
Seeing that, Gerald simply tossed the men out of the Dominoes with barely any trouble.
âAre you guys really that free?â said Gerald coldly as he instantly began leaving without even turning to look at the two confused men who were now lying on the street.
ââ¦M-Mr. Crawfordâ¦?â muttered the boss in astonishment after catching a glimpse of Geraldâs face while he was being thrown out. Still frozen in shock, the boss then watched as Gerald stopped walking forward.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Geraldâs body instantly began quivering as he turned around to see if it truly was him. Upon seeing what the boss looked like, the indifferent expression on Geraldâs face immediately turned into delight as he smiled while shouting excitedly, âAiden? Aiden, is that really you?â
âMr. Crawford⦠So it really is you!â shouted Aiden in return as he immediately got to his feet in his excitement.
The person standing before Gerald now, was none other than Aiden who had previously joined the army. Pleasantly surprised to see his old friend here, Gerald then replied, âItâs been ages since weâve last met, Aiden!â
With that, both of them quickly ran over to each other in embrace. Since it had been a good two years since they had last met, Aiden was already crying in his excitement.
As it turned out, after Aiden had enlisted in the army to serve as a soldier back when Jett was still wreaking havoc in Mayberry, he had made great progress in the army since Aiden was already a person with a good foundation in the first place.
Once his recruitment company ended, Aiden had joined a special company to further his training. He was now in Mayberry since he had been entrusted with certain tasks.
After completing some of the tasks, he and his men had come over to Mayberry University to grab something to eat before continuing on with their work, which eventually led to the current scene.
âI still remember the massive changes Mayberry had undergone the moment you went missingâ¦
Regardless, I only returned about two days ago. After catching up on some things, I had initially planned to contact Mr. Lyle to ask him where you were. Alas, I found out that at the time, Mr. Lyle had gone on a business trip to Lugaw City!â explained Aiden once all four of them were seated in that Dominoes again.
While listening to Aiden talk, Gerald noticed how much tanner and muscular he was now. In fact, Aiden was also much more mature and stable now, unlike the young and reckless Aiden he used to know.
What more, Aiden seemed to be quite a capable boss as well now! It made Gerald happy to see his younger brother all matured and grown up.
Naturally, they had much to talk about, and after a long chat, Aiden turned to look at Gerald before saying, âStill, to think that you arenât loyal to us at all, brother! After all, despite you doing well and all, you didnât even bother informing us of your current situation the moment you made it back safely to Mayberry! Instead, you just went off to Mayberry University to pursue some girl!â
