The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2308
In no time at all, evening came, and Gerald got himself cleaned before changing into a nice set of clothes. Though the event was organized by Maddox, a party was a party, so he had to make sure that he was at least well dressed.
Regardless, once Lucian was prepared, both of them left the manor to head to Maddoxâs villa where the party was being held. The villa itself was only two streets away from the military base, so soldiers could be seen patrolling the area all daylong.
Aside from Maddox, this high-end villa neighborhood was also where most of the military leaders including Carter stayed. Rather than being interconnected, each of the villas was built individually with separate access paths and small gardens.
Whatever the case was, upon entering the car, Lucian instead of telling the driver to start the car up was prompted to look at Gerald before asking, âHonestly, do you think we should bring a few others with us? After all, if Maddox is really attempting to set us up, Iâll end up burdening you since youâll have to focus on protecting meâ¦â
âWhile I see where youâre coming from, in the end, I feel that Iâll have to protect both of you instead of you alone! With that said, bringing more people along is only going to be more troublesome for me,â
replied Gerald who knew that he was at least capable of protecting Lucian as long as he was alone from the most dangerous of situations.
âI see.. Well, Iâll be in your care, thenâ¦â muttered Lucian before chuckling awkwardly.
âIndeed. Either way, letâs go meet him already,â replied Gerald as he leaned against his seat before closing his eyes. Hearing that, Lucian then nodded at his driver, and the car came to life just seconds later.
Meanwhile, Maddox could be seen puffing on a cigar in his villa as he stood before twenty sniper soldiers whom he had specially chosen for tonight about two days ago.
Knowing how capable they each were, Maddox couldnât help but say, âTruly elites among elitesâ¦â
Hearing that, his confidant stepped forward before reporting, âIâve already given them an entire dayâs worth of special training for this event, deputy captain! Once Gerald appears, theyâll definitely be ready to snipe his head!â
âAnd who told you that I wanted Gerald dead?â replied Maddox with a raised brow.
âHuhâ¦? But⦠then why did you organize this party and request for all these snipersâ¦?â asked the puzzled confidant who had assumed that everything had been prepared this way to finish Gerald off.
âUse your head and donât ask things you shouldnât!â grumbled Maddox as he stubbed his cigar against his confidantâs neck!
Flinching from the searing pain, the confidant then backed away as Maddox puffed into his cigar and ordered, âAlright, enough dilly-dallying! Head to your respective positions and prepare yourselves!
Remember, nobody shoots unless I give the order!â
By the time the twenty snipers got into position all around the villa, the sky was already starting to darken. More and more guests were starting to arrive as well, and all of them were discussing why Maddox had invited them there. While they were all confused, all of them had still rushed over since they were well aware of how high Maddoxâs status was, being the deputy captain and all.
Standing on the Villaâs top floor, Maddox placed his hand against a window as he peered down, constantly on the lookout for Geraldâs arrival. When he finally saw the youth exiting a car, Maddox instantly smiled as he slammed his fist onto the windowsill.
Taking in a deep breath, he then said in a sinister tone, âGeraldâ¦! So you really were with the Grubbsâ¦!â
