Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1366
Adding that to what he had earlier said, Jasmine instantly began trembling all over as she asked, ââ¦
Could⦠Could it be that youâre my auntâs missing husbandâ¦? The uncle me and Gerald shareâ¦?â
Chuckling as he smiled, the man then replied, âYou truly are as smart as your aunt, Jasmineâ¦â
ââ¦So, itâs really trueâ¦?!â exclaimed Jasmine as she covered her mouth in shock.
ââ¦Sir- No, uncle⦠Havenât you gone missing for agesâ¦? Why are you only showing yourself nowâ¦.?
Also, how did your appearance turn out this wayâ¦?â
Based on what her aunt had once told her, Peter Crawfordâher uncleâwas quite a handsome and elegant man. With that in mind, his current hideous expression would shock just about anyone!
âLetâs just say that I needed to end up this way in order to escape! Still, this appearance isnât all that bad since it allows me to hide my true identity. In fact, itâs thanks to how I look that Iâve been able to easily investigate a few incidents!â replied Peter, his eyes returning to their former tranquillity.
âThen⦠Iâm assuming that Gerald still has no idea who you are, right? That youâre the uncle heâs been searching for this entire timeâ¦?â asked Jasmine.
âOf course he doesnât. After all, I havenât concluded on whether a certain someone is good or wicked yet⦠Anyway, itâs just better if I donât reveal who I truly am to Gerald yet. Besides, I can still help him in secret!â said Peter with a smile.
âWho exactly are you trying to find out is good or wickedâ¦?â asked Jasmine.
âSadly, I canât elaborate on that. Just know for now that all my efforts will go to waste if that incident is accidentally exposed. Speaking of which, I wasnât even supposed to reveal my true identity to you today, Jasmine! With that in mind, please promise that youâll keep my identity a secret in the meantime!â said Peter.
Peter had always been a calm person, and for the sake of his investigation, he had constantly suppressed his desire to meet up with his family this entire time, regardless of how much he missed them.
Unfortunately, the second he found outâfrom Geraldâthat Jasmine had been captured by Queena, he knew that he wasnât going to be able to continue keeping that desire suppressed.
With that in mind, he had secretly begun his search for Jasmine ever since that day. Upon eventually finding her, he took the chance to go on a rescue mission.
While he had simply planned to rescue her without revealing who he really was at first, Jasmine was simply too similar-looking to her aunt for Peterâs mind to not be bombarded with a series of thoughts. In the end, he gave in and ended up revealing his true identity Jasmine.
âBut of course, uncle! Still⦠Where are we headed to nowâ¦?â asked Jasmine.
âWhat, donât you wish to meet Gerald? Iâm guessing that heâs returned for some time now, so Iâll be bringing you over to reunite with him!â said Peter.
After seeing Jasmine nod, Peter then began leading her backâ¦
However, it was only a few steps later when he stopped dead in his tracks. His once tranquil eyes now slightly widened as he felt a chill run down his back, Peter found himself carefully scanning his surroundings before saying, ââ¦Iâm afraid that weâll have to delay our return for about an hour, Jasmineâ¦!â
ââ¦Huh? Whyâ¦?â
âBecause I donât want those stalkers to follow me all the way back. Once they know where I live, theyâll surely ruin that place! With that in mind, Iâll be spending some time getting rid of them first!â replied Peter with a brief smile.
âBut⦠Thereâs nobody here but us, right uncleâ¦?â said Jasmine as she looked around. No matter how hard she scanned the area, there just didnât seem to be any traces of humans nearby!
âDonât bother looking for them. Theyâre about fifty miles away, and theyâre divided into four main groups that are headed in the four cardinal directions. There are currently about a dozen of them heading in our direction now!â replied Peter as his eyes momentarily flashed a dark green.
Hearing that, the simultaneously frightened and surprised Jasmine then asked, ââ¦You⦠Youâre able to clearly see up to fifty miles away, uncleâ¦?â
âHaha! Fifty miles is nothing to me! I can see even further awayâ¦â replied Peter with a bitter smile.
