Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2307
Regardless, after returning to his room, Gerald began thinking about all that had happened tonightâ¦
As for Maddox, he could be seen sitting before a few of his confidants in a high end villa near the military base with a glass of red wine in hand. After gulping it down, he was prompted to say, âAlright, once you return, I want all of you to tell your subordinates to dress smartly tomorrow, got that?â
âWe know. Donât worry, everything has already been well prepared. Things will surely be perfect tomorrow,â replied one of the confidants after looking at the others.
âStill⦠Are you really sure that Gerald will come over tomorrow, deputy captain?â asked a bald confidant.
âWhy wouldnât he?â replied Maddox as he poured himself another glass of wine.
âI mean⦠Ever since he entered Yanam, weâve lost all news regarding himâ¦â muttered the bald man in a slightly worried tone. He, for one, had been by Maddoxâs side for the longest time, which was why he didnât fear talking about his worries.
âWhile thatâs a good question, why donât you start considering where Gerald couldâve gone to ever since he arrived? After all, he couldnât have just been sleeping on the streets this entire time, right?â
replied Maddox as he placed his wine glass down.
âWell⦠maybe heâs been sleeping in a hostel or guesthouseâ¦?â said the bald man.
âOr maybe heâs at a friendâs house,â added another confidant.
âThough those are definitely viable suggestions, all of you have ignored the fact that itâs been about a week since weâve captured Lindsay. With that in mind, Iâm sure the Grubbs wouldâve already heard about this. Since Gerald wouldâve surely taken the chance to meet up with the Grubbs upon arriving, I have reason to believe that Lucian wouldâve asked for his help to save the girl. Due to the fact that he knows Lindsay, Gerald would surely be compelled to assist. Little does he know that sheâs in our possession!â declared the smiling Maddox in a confident tone.
âI understand now!â
âYou truly are the smartest person within our military base, deputy captain!â exclaimed Maddoxâs subordinates who hadnât even come close to seeing the way Maddox saw things. Truth be told, they had been wondering why he wanted to organize a business party out of the blue. After all, he hadnât done anything like that in the past. Now, everything was clear as day.
âFlattery will get you nowhere. Regardless, just follow and learn from me and I assure you that youâll all be promoted in no time! By that point, Iâll expect all of you to be able to think critically and handle other affairs for me. Thatâs the only way youâll improve!â declared Maddox as he pointed at them.
âWe await our promotions!â yelled the men as they bowed toward Maddox.
âWell said. Either way, make sure to check for any imperfections tomorrow! Everything needs to be perfect! If Gerald dares to come over, weâll finally be able to capture him! Following that, Iâll have Lindsay killed right before his very eyes!â declared Maddox.
After the meeting was adjourned, Maddox couldnât help but hum as he returned to his room. He, for one, was sure that Gerald wouldnât be able to escape his grasp this time, no matter how strong he was.
Unfortunately for him, Gerald had already seen Through all his plans.
Fast forward to the next day, Gerald uncharacteristically remained in bed past dawn. After all, now that he had momentarily put research on Yearning Island aside and he already had quite a bit of information on Lindayâs case, he didnât have much to do but wait to participate in Maddoxâs party that night.
Perhaps he could get more information there.
Lying in bed, he couldnât help but think about all that he had gone through in the past few months just to learn more about Yearning Island.
