Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1259

“…Did you say that someone gave him the first three chapters? Do you have any idea who that person is?” asked Gerald in shock.

“I’ve never personally met him before either, Mr. Crawford. I only heard about it from Mr. Wytt.

Regardless, according to Mr. Wytt, he had gotten acquainted with that mysterious person for quite some time. The person himself had come to the military region some time ago, and he apparently asked for Mr. Wytt’s help to place an object somewhere.”

“To show his appreciation, he offered to teach Mr. Wytt the first three chapters of the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique. Even if the mysterious man hadn’t chosen that to be his token of appreciation, I believe that Mr. Wytt would’ve still helped him. After all, the mysterious man was clearly much more powerful than Mr. Wytt for him to respect him so much. Whoever the person was, he definitely wasn’t anyone young, that’s for sure. Regardless, no matter how much I racked my brain, I simply couldn’t figure out who Mr. Wytt would respect so much to the point of admiration!” explained Jace.

After hearing all that, Gerald felt his heartbeat quicken. He had a pretty good hunch who that mysterious person was.

‘…Could the mysterious person be Finnley? After all, he’s the only other person in the world who still knows that technique!’

“…When did all this take place? I need a rough estimate!”

“It was about eight months ago! Even though that isn’t too long an interval, Mr. Wytt’s medical skills have been near-perfect since then! Of course, you’re way more exceptional than even he is! It’s truly unbelievable!” replied Jace with a sigh.

‘Eight months ago? Was it truly Finnley, then?’

After teaching Gerald a plethora of skills for half a year, Finnley had received some sort of keepsake before leaving in a hurry. Since then, it had been about a year and a half since Gerald last contacted the old man. No matter how much Gerald tried to inquire about Finnley—after he got into trouble—he simply had no success. It was almost as though Finnley had just disappeared into thin air!

Even so, there was one thing that Gerald was sure of. It was that Finnley was extremely strong.

‘Hell, he’s definitely way stronger than even grandpa and Christopher! Back then, I wasn’t even able to come close to rivaling Finnley, even at my peak strength at the time. Should I be able to meet him again, however, I’ll be sure not to be so passive anymore…’

“…Speaking of which, if it isn’t too inconvenient, could you please introduce Mr. Wytt to me?” asked Gerald.

Whatever the case was, Gerald wanted to at least confirm for himself whether that mysterious person truly was Finnley or not, even though he already knew that his hunch was most probably correct.

“Not a problem! In fact, I think Mr. Wytt would love to meet you as well! Speaking of which, since you have expertise in medicine and I’m introducing Mr. Wytt to you, I wonder if you’d be willing to help me with something… See, I’ve been tasked with saving the lives of over a hundred children, and quite frankly, I have no idea where to even begin tackling the problem! Worry not, however, for curing them shouldn’t be as difficult as curing Madam Smith’s illness. I have to emphasize that this is more for the children than it is to benefit me, and if I have to, I’m willing to kneel before you!” said Jace as he instantly began kneeling.

However, he was promptly stopped by Gerald.

“Hold on. Over a hundred children? What even is going on?” asked Gerald, feeling bewildered.

At that moment, Helen suddenly said, “Could you perhaps be talking about the peculiar flu that suddenly emerged out of nowhere two days ago? From what I’ve heard, over a hundred children are currently in danger of losing their lives, and nobody’s been able to diagnose their illness yet!”

“That’s the one!” replied Jace quickly.

“What exactly are the symptoms?” asked Gerald.

While Gerald definitely didn’t label himself as a hero or even a kind person, he wasn’t agreeing to help just because Jace was introducing Mr. Wytt to him. No, it was because he now knew that over a hundred children were currently suffering from some unknown flu. Even worse was the fact that their lives could very well be in danger! Gerald was well aware that he wouldn’t ever forgive himself if he didn’t at least try to lend a hand in saving them.
