The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2017
After a short pause, all four of the assassins eventually shook their heads!
Upon seeing that, Yalinda was rightfully angry as she growled, âYouâ¦!â
Realizing that he still had a chance to get out of this situation, a sly smile flashed across Clydeâs face.
Following that, he feigned aggrievance as he said, âYou see, General Lucarl? Iâm innocent! Please clear my name, general!â
With the current turn of events, Gerald was now wondering whether he shouldâve let Yalinda do the talkingâ¦
After all, though the assassins were mute, they were by no means dumb. They probably figured that Gerald wouldnât be able to do anything to them in the presence of so many people. By choosing to lie, not only would Clydeâs life be spared, but also theirs!
Whatever the case was, Kay then cleared his throat before asking sternly, âAgain, just to confirm. Is it true that Clyde didnât send you over?â Watching as the four then nodded again, Kay added, âVery well.
Weâll put the matter aside for the moment, then. Guards, lock them up immediately! Weâll look further into this once the competition is over.â
Naturally unwilling to just accept that, Yalinda then said, âBut General Lucarl-â
Before she could even finish her sentence, Kay simply raised his hand before replying, âAgain, letâs put the matter aside for the time being. Not only have they already said that Young Master Gower wasnât the one behind this, but the incident also happened outside Gardale City. With that in mind, we arenât responsible for handling the case. Due to that, weâll talk about this once the competition ends.â
Once Kay turned around to leave, Clyde moved closer to Yalinda before chuckling sinisterly as he jeered, âHeh, did you really think you could frame me that easily, Yalinda?â
Hearing that, Yalinda immediately glared at the despicable man as he returned to his seat. To think that the assassins would retract their confessions at the last second!
While she was furious at him, she knew better than to waste her energy feeling angry. After all, just as Kay had said, nothing would be investigated till the competition was overâ¦
âLeave him be, Yalinda! Come back for now!â called out Gerald, prompting Yalinda to helplessly return to her seatâ¦
Once she was sitting beside Gerald again, Yalinda couldnât help but grumble, ââ¦To think that Clyde had planned this far aheadâ¦!â Instead of sharing Yalindaâs dissatisfaction, Gerald simply laughed coldly in response as he said, âItâs fine, weâll just accept this as our loss for now⦠However, know that I still have other ways to deal with him!â
Just as Gerald had said, though they had failed to immediately take Clyde down, it didnât mean that they had automatically lost. Since Clyde was now pulling all his triumph cards, Gerald would do the sameâ¦
Regardless, the matches for the day soon endedâ¦
While the matches were still on earlier, Gerald had plenty of time to think of his next step. In the end, he figured that since the semi-finals would be held in the next two days, Clyde would surely use that time to cause more trouble for him.
Due to that, Gerald decided that he would finish Clyde off within the following two daysâ¦
