Chapter 1407
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1407 ââ¦What? There was another person observing me this entire timeâ¦?!â replied Gerald fearfully.
As it turned out, his university life hadnât been as peaceful as he remembered it to be. Quite the contrary, in fact! To think that he had been closely monitored by others his entire time! Not only that, but he had just found out that people like Peter had apparently also been keeping a close eye on his observers!
Truth be told, Gerald had found Peter to be quite odd from the moment he woke up after being saved by him. After all, Peter knew him well, and it was definitely no coincidence that Peter had been present to save him that night.
Hell, after getting along better with Peter, Gerald had found that the man even seemed to have a good grasp on his temperament and characteristics.
While Gerald had occasionally wanted to ask Peter about that, every time he led the conversation in that direction, Peter made it very clear that he didnât want to talk about it.
Following that, things got busy and Gerald didnât have a chance to ponder about it again up till this point. Due to Peterâs slip of his tongue, it reminded Gerald to try his luck asking him why he knew so much about Gerald again. He truly hadnât expected to finally get such a shocking answer today.
âRegardless, I found out that that person had already been keeping an eye on youâfor who knows how longâby the time you left Serene County to start your freshman year. While he laid low for a while, he started appearing more frequently after your identity was exposed.â
âUnsure what he was truly after and worried that he would do bad things to you, Iâin turnâbegan observing him. You know, for convenience, I even disguised myself like this and occasionally snuck into the back kitchen of your universityâs cafeteria under the guise of a worker there! Haha!â explained Peter as he revealed a wry smile.
âYou even snuck into my universityâs cafeteria? But Iâve never come across you!â replied Gerald, failing to recall ever meeting Peter before this.
Quite honestly, Gerald was in disbelief that such a remarkable man had been watching over him from his universityâs cafeteria this entire time!
âOf course you wouldnât have met me! There wasnât any reason for you to pay attention to such a random person! Besides, I mostly remained in the back kitchen, and even if I went out, I made sure to do so sneakily!â said Peter.
ââ¦I see. Speaking of which, you said you found out that he was stalking me when I first started university⦠Does that mean you had your reasons to be there as well? Also, who exactly are you, sirâ¦?â asked Gerald, feeling that now was his best bet of getting the truth from Peter.
âWhere to even begin⦠Truth be told, I hadnât planned on reuniting with you till I managed to identify your stalker⦠Regardless, I have a feeling that heâs the one responsible for all the current incidents! I also suspect that heâs already noticed that Iâve been stalking him in return! You know, despite keeping a close eye on him for so many years, I never even told Jasmine about my observations on him for fear that that information would somehow get leaked to the stalker. By this point, however, I feel that hiding all this is no longer necessary,â replied Peter as he turned to look at the curious Gerald.
Following that, Peter placed his hand near his ears⦠Before slowly peeling off what seemed to be a mask made of human skin!
Despite the fact that Peter was still a middle-aged man, his appearance could only be described as being extremely handsome.
Even so, his good looks wasnât the reason why Geraldâs eyes were now so wide open. No, Gerald was now trembling because he recognized that face anywhere.
ââ¦S-second uncleâ¦?â stuttered the bewildered Gerald. The manâs appearance bore a striking resemblance to his uncle in the photograph that he had!
As Gerald continued staring in disbelief at his uncle, Peter replied, âNow you finally know who I am, Geraldâ¦â
ââ¦So it really is you, Second uncleâ¦! But⦠But didnât youâ¦?â muttered Gerald, his breath getting increasingly heavy.
âIâll take my time explaining all this on a later date, Gerald. For now, letâs focus on finding out where my brother and sister-in-law are. We still have to look into the incident regarding the pledge of the holy water as well. To think that I still havenât found his motivations yet, even after heâs kidnapped our entire familyâ¦! While Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât worried for them, I have a gut feeling that everyone from our family will remain safe for now, or at the very least, they wonât be in danger of being killed just yet.
While his aim is still unknown, Iâm certain that it isnât to just kill people off!â replied Peter as he calmly analyzed what they knew.
Hearing that, Gerald looked at his uncle rather excitedly before nodding firmly and asking, ââ¦Youâre right! Speaking of which, have you ever fought against my stalker throughout his many years observing me, uncle? And do you have any clues about himâ¦?â
