Chapter 1408
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1408 Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Peter momentarily averted his gaze. Clearing his throat, he then sheepishly replied, ââ¦Regarding that⦠I havenât had any reason to go into combat with him⦠As for clues about him, I donât even know his true identity yet⦠Well, that was the case before we bumped into Wes, of course. From what Wes told us, itâs now safe to assume that the managers from the large areas will be the key to us getting our next clue! Also, I have a feeling that since heâs now starting to make his appearance, heâll definitely be reappearing again!â
âWhatever the case is, Iâll definitely be capturing that stalker if he truly is the one responsible for all these incidents!â
It was at that moment when Wesâwho had been shivering this entire timeâflopped feebly to the ground before falling unconscious.
Seeing that, Gerald immediately lifted the fainted man up before saying, âWith how long heâs been immersed in that freezing water, Iâm sure his internal organs are now damaged! Iâll be saving him first, Second uncle!â
As Gerald walked offâwith Wes in his armsâtoward a room in the manor, Peter turned to face Zyla, a worried expression on his face.
Seeing that, Zyla knew that he realized that she had already caught on. With that in mind, she minced no words as she asked, âJudging from all that youâve said⦠Could you be from Jaellatra too? Was it the Sun League who brought you there?â
âIt appears that I canât hide anything from you, Miss Lockland! Then again, itâd be hard to hide anything from your deity eyes!â replied Peter as he bowed slightly at Zyla.
âWell, your training is quite similar to Leoâs, so I had my suspicions that that was the case. Regardless, why didnât you tell Gerald the entire truth just now?â asked Zyla, curious.
âIf youâre talking about the stalker, itâs not that I didnât want to⦠I just donât want to place the blame on the stalker till Iâve absolutely confirmed that heâs the one responsible for all this. The other reason is because Geraldâs undergone enough hardships and mental suffering for the time being⦠I fear that if I tell him who I suspect the stalker to be, he wonât be able to accept it and end up in complete denial!â
replied Peter as he shook his head in worry.
âThe truth seems hard for you to accept as well.â
âRegardless, I hope that everything will continue proceeding for the best from now on!â
âIndeed. Still, despite all the hardships heâs had to go through, all of them are simply part of his destiny.
From the moment he was born, he was already destined to be extraordinary. With that in mind, heâs never going to be able to live life as an ordinary person!â said Zyla.
âThatâs true⦠Well, what do you think Gerald should do in the future?â asked Peter.
âThough his training is already at a terrifying level, his Dehlere Foundation is still ruined. In other words, itâs evident that he wonât be able to achieve a state thatâll enable him to deal against those people yet!
With that in mind, Iâm quite worried about whatâll happen next!â
Peter was honestly most worried about this.
From what Peter could tell, there was a high chance that his brother, Queta, and the others werenât going to be in life-threatening danger any time soon⦠After all, Peter had a gut feeling that the person doing all this simply kidnapped them so that they could be used to threaten Gerald. Should that scenario come to be, Gerald would certainly have to face a lot of trouble.
This was due to the fact that at his current strength, there was simply no way for Gerald to even come close to defeating those truly powerful people.
At that moment, Gerald returned from the room and asked, âZyla? Second uncle? What are you discussing?â
âWeâre talking about your ruined Dehlere Foundationâ¦â replied Zyla as she turned to look at Gerald.
âI know itâs ruined⦠But I really donât have the time nor energy to let it recover! After all, the priority right now is to investigate where my family members are! The second Iâm done with that, Iâll need to instantly begin investigating the pledge of the holy water next to look for my grandpa!â said the distressed Gerald.
âWhile I understand your urge to immediately begin investigating, even if you eventually manage to find the truth behind these incidents, I assure you that youâll be facing great danger throughout that process. What happens if you lack the strength to defend yourself against that? With that in mind, youâll be able to investigate without any worry of that issue should you heal your Dehlere Foundation first!â
advised Zyla.
Nodding in agreement, Peter then said, âWhat she said is true, Gerald. Your priority should definitely be to heal your Dehlere Foundation. Do note that Miss Lockland and I both have our hopes on youâ¦â
