Chapter 1264
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1264 Even Jace found himself tearing up in joy. Their sheer delight had stemmed from the fact that all of the babies were most probably making it out alive now!
After carefully examining the babiesâjust for good measureâboth men found themselves clasping their hands together while heaving huge sighs of relief to calm their excitement. How absolutely unbelievable!
âMr. Crawford truly can bring the dead back to life!â cheered both men in immense admiration.
Gerald himself simply smiled weakly at their statement.
Compliments and admiration didnât really mean much to him. As long as the babies were healed, that meant that he had managed to successfully achieve his goal.
Now that he was done with this issue, his mind immediately wandered to the next concern. Who was the person in charge of committing all these atrocities in Mayberry City? And was that person stronger or weaker than him? Regardless, if he didnât find them soon, that person could definitely begin harming others!
He needed to quickly make a move anyway since he had already used his inner strength earlier. Even though he wasnât sure whether Queena would be able to detect himâgiven that she was currently at her most vulnerableâGerald knew that he still had to immediately rush over to Mountain Top Villa.
After all, as long as he was close to the Zircobsite stone, Queena probably wouldnât be too keen on approaching him. With that in mind, he quickly made his way out of the isolation room.
Once he was outside, however, he was instantly greeted by looks of excitement and admiration from those who had heard that Gerald had successfully saved the children.
Knowing how proficient he was with the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique, some of the older doctors even began kneeling before Gerald, hoping that he would take them under his wing as apprentices!
At that moment, Walbridgeâwho had a cold look on his faceâsuddenly said, âAmazing, arenât you?
Youâre just lucky, young lad!â
Though Gerald was initially planning to leave immediately, upon hearing Walbridgeâs words, he turned to face the arrogant man before replying in a cold tone, ââ¦Speaking of which, do you remember your earlier promise?â
ââ¦W-what?â said Walbridge, stunned.
âI distinctly remember you saying that youâd do whatever I asked you to as long as I was able to heal the babies!â
âThatâs right, Dr. Lumb! All of us heard you make the promise as well!â said one of the doctors.
Seeing that everyone was now looking at him, Walbridge puffed his chest upâin his attempt to look like an honorable personâbefore saying, âHah! Iâve always been a man of my word! Tell me what it is that you want!â
With how pretentious Walbridge was still being, Gerald could only look at him contemptuously before ordering, âVery well! I want you to fart!â
ââ¦I-I beg your pardonâ¦?â asked Walbridge, clearly taken aback.
âI told you to fart! Do it at least a hundred times in front of everyone here!â
By this point, everyone was already roaring with laughter.
âY-you⦠Do you think I can just fart whenever I want toâ¦?â muttered Walbridge, feeling extremely humiliated.
âWhy not? Itâs just a hundred so it shouldnât be too difficult! Allow me to assist!â replied Gerald as he swiftly poked one of Walbridgeâs acupuncture points with a finger.
Almost immediately after, a loud farting sound filled the corridor. Then another, and another.
As Walbridge continued to fart against his will, his face was already pale from all the humiliation. Try as he might, he simply couldnât hold back at all!
With everyone now focused on Walbridgeâas they covered their nosesâGerald took the opportunity to use the chaos to make his escape!
Not long after, Walbridge released one final and extra-long fart before finally crying out, âI-Iâm done!
One hundred farts in total!â
To everyoneâs surprise, Gerald was no longer there! Though some of the old doctors wanted to attempt chasing him down, they quickly realized that it was probably going to be a futile effort. After all, they now realized that Gerald had planned his escape the moment he ordered Walbridge to begin farting as a distraction!
It was a little while later when Gerald began speeding his car toward Mountain Top Villa. The evening sky was already darkening as the car accelerated past a dense forest.
As he continued driving down the desolate road, Gerald squinted his eyes before widening them in shock. Stepping on the brakes, the car came to a screeching halt as Geraldâs eyelids twitched rapidly at the old lady squatting in the middle of the road.
The old lady herself seemed to be burning some papers in hand by tossing them into a brazier of sorts.
Whatever the case was, the old lady was by no means an unfamiliar face to Gerald.
