Chapter 1306

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1306 “With how cute she already is, I’m sure she’ll grow to be an extremely beautiful woman,” said Monica with a smile.

“I agree. I’m sure she’ll be quite similar to you in terms of beauty!” replied Gerald with a smile.

Seconds later, he immediately cupped his mouth with a white towel—that he had been holding onto—

as he began coughing rather terribly.

Watching as the towel slowly got stained with blood, Monica frowned slightly before saying, “It’s best that you don’t start walking around just yet. After all, your injuries haven’t healed yet, you know? Truth be told, I still can’t get over how abnormal your body is!”

Following that, Gerald turned to look at her and found that she was staring rather intently at his chest.

Feeling weirded out, Gerald then said, “…Why are you staring at my chest like that…?”

“You best not be getting any weird ideas! I’m just looking at your jade pendant! It’s shining again, you know? From the day you were brought here, it’s shone at exactly the same time every morning and night. Thinking back, it must have done so at least a dozen times by now!” replied Monica rather grumpily as she rolled her eyes at Gerald before pointing at the round jade pendant hanging from Gerald’s neck.

“…What? It’s shining again?” said Gerald as he looked down to see for himself.

Even he had been aware that the pendant shone quite regularly ever since he woke up. However, he had no idea what they indicated.

The jade pendant was truly extraordinary. After all, it had previously saved his life on several occasions by giving him aid at the most crucial moments. Despite that, it hadn’t activated this time, even after Hogan had beaten him into a pulp!

‘What on earth is even happening…?’ Gerald thought to himself, feeling quite puzzled.

After giving it some thought, he came to the conclusion that he wasn’t going to be able to figure it out just by dwelling on it. With that in mind, he then followed Monica into the house.

Meanwhile, a group of bodyguards dressed in black—under the lead of a few Gunters—had just made their appearance right outside the shantytown, fully prepared to go door to door to look for Gerald.

From what they knew, the hundred over families living in this shantytown all shared cordial relationships with each other. Due to that, its inhabitants were all pretty united, and that was made evident by how the other families immediately walked out to take a look when they saw the guards barging into one of the houses there.

Despite their initial protests, they soon ended up returning to their own homes after the guards began scowling and threatening to beat them up if they planned to meddle any further.

At that moment, Felton himself was sitting at the back of a luxury car, momentarily resting his eyes.

After slowly opening his eyes a little while later, he found himself frowning when he saw a young girl walking across the street.

Noticing that he was staring at her, the girl was temporarily frozen in fright.

A second later, what seemed to be her parents broke through the interception from the bodyguards—

who had been standing in front of their house—before rushing over to the girl while ushering, “Sierra!

Come back here! Quickly!”

Though the other families—who had been watching all this take place—wanted to help, they were simply too frightened to move, knowing that they couldn’t afford to offend the person launching such a massive operation.

After continuing to stare at Sierra for a little while longer, Felton gave his subordinate a glance before pointing at the girl. Easily understanding what Felton meant by that, the subordinate then walked over and instantly carried Sierra up, even though she was just about to run back home!

“M-mom!” cried out the now utterly terrified Sierra.

Her parents were equally as terrified for her safety, and they immediately began running over to her.

However, their advances were halted by a few other guards who quickly kicked both of them to the ground before shouting, “Beat it!”

“W-what are you doing?! We’ve never offended any of you! She’s my daughter and she’s still so young!

What are you planning on doing to her?!” cried out the distressed mother.

“You’d best behave yourselves! One more move from either of you and you’ll both be dead!” threatened the guards as they placed knives close to the duo’s necks.

With her parents unable to make another move, the subordinate holding onto Sierra then brought the young girl to Felton.

Once she was before him, he took in a sniff before narrowing his eyes.

“…There’s a peculiar herbal scent on this girl… Herbs that ordinary people wouldn’t ever be able to brew!”

Hearing that, the subordinate then glared at Sierra before growling, “Have you come across any odd patients recently? Spit out the truth, you bad girl!”

“I-I don’t know…!” whimpered Sierra in her fright.

Though she was young, she was bright enough to know that they were looking for Gerald. Even so, she had promised her godfather that she would never reveal his location, and she was going to keep that promise no matter what.

“Don’t test me, young girl. You’d best be obedient and tell me the truth, else I’ll be giving trouble to your parents right after I slaughter you!” growled Felton next as he got out of the car, making sure to flash a cold smile as he said that.

Glaring right into Sierra’s eyes with his stern gaze, he then added, “Now then, are you still unwilling to tell me what you know? Just so you understand, for me, killing you is as easy as killing an ant!”
