The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1500
As Gerald looked curiously at Yuleâwho had just knelt before himâYule then explained, âNot only are you both my sister and Iâs benefactor, but you also have such remarkable capabilities! With that said, Iâm begging you to protect, and be the guest of honor for the Quantock family!â
Though the Quantocks were a cryptic family, they didnât have a patron back then, which was honestly the reason why they were driven out of Jenna City in the first place.
Regardless, Yule recalled hearing that there existed a small group of people that had surpassed the level of champions, and after witnessing Geraldâs skill, he was sure that his master was one of them.
If his family had such a strong person on their side, the Quantockâs strength would definitely progress rapidly. With any luck, Geraldâs agreement would surely bring great and positive changes to the future of his family.
Hearing that, Gerald found himself frowning slightly as he asked, âA guest of honorâ¦?â
âWell, essentially, what Iâm hoping for is that youâll agree to take the Quantocks under your wing. Once you do, my family will respect you over the generations!â begged Yule.
Though Yule had said that, Gerald knew what he was really after. He recalled how he had initially assumed that Julian was suffering injustice since he was working for the Duns back then. However, Julian later told him that he was the one who had taken the Duns under his wing!
âIâve completely ruined the Duns though,â Gerald thought to himself.
Whatever the case was, it was obvious that Yule wanted him to protect the Quantocks from future danger.
While Gerald had no interest in such things, he did require a family that was able to get an admission ticket for him. Thinking about it, not only would taking them under his wing not hinder him by much, but he would also obtain a rather good disguise. In other words, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.
With all that in mind, Gerald nodded in agreement before saying, ââ¦I accept!â
Truth be told, Gerald had only considered doing this in the first place since he was slightly moved when he saw how gallant that young man had been when he protected his younger sister earlier.
Regardless, Yule instantly called his family in excitement after hearing Geraldâs reply.
While waiting for his family to arrive, Yule began sharing how all this had come to be.
Essentially, he had brought his younger sister along to negotiate about some things. However, on their way there, those eight killers ambushed them! While Yule wasnât completely sure of who had sent them over, he had a pretty good hunch that they were here under the orders of the Waddys, the current ruling family of Jenna City!
It was about twenty years ago when the Waddys had driven the Quantocks out of Jenna City. That incident made it evident that the Waddys werenât a family that people could afford to infuriate.
Regardless, it wasnât long before over ten cars arrived at the scene, and in them, were people from the Quantock family.
Since Julian had left with Perlaâunder Geraldâs ordersâand Gerald didnât really have anything to do if he headed back now anyway, he had agreed to follow Yule back to the Quantock familyâs temporary manor. He was also incentivized to head there since he had agreed to take the Quantocks under his wing. With that in mind, he knew he had to treat them much more seriously now.
With that, it didnât take long before they arrived at the manor.
As soon as the car stopped, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of a middle-aged woman hurriedly running toward them while saying, âYule? Meghan? Are both of you alright?â
The woman in question turned out to be Yuleâs mother, Madam Quantock.
Looking at the door, Gerald also saw a middle-aged man standing there, his face brimming with worry and concern. Behind him, stood several other old and middle-aged men as well as disciples, quite evidently members of the Quantock family.
âWeâre fine, mom! Dad! Had it not been for Master Crawford saving us, I wouldnât have been able to rush back to meet you!â replied Yule excitedly.
âOh? Where is he?â asked the middle-aged man as he and a few of the older men looked toward the car. When they finally saw what Gerald looked like, all of them found themselves feeling astonished.
