Chapter 2440
The Secretly Rich Man
The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2440 With several of them now drenched in cold sweat, one of the guards eventually declared, âI⦠I donât want to get hurt for smashing their limbs! Letâs just leave them be!â
Naturally, everyone agreed, and Gerald couldnât help but smile from afar.
Regardless, after transforming back into Chuck, Gerald quickly headed to Second Young Mistressâs room. Taking in a deep breath, he then smiled as he pushed the door open while saying, âSecond Young Mistress? I brought some ginseng soup for you!â
âSoup? Who even are you? A servant of ours? That aside, I never requested for any soup,â replied the Second Young Mistress with a frown.
Thankfully, there was also a guard in the room who recognized Chuck. This prompted him to say, âHeâs Chuck, the Masterâs servant!â
âHah! He usually only cares about Sister⦠Iâm surprised he still remembers that Iâm his daughter!
Regardless, put the soup down! Iâm not in the mood!â grumbled the Second Young Mistress as she continued petting her dog.
Upon hearing that, Gerald went silent for a moment before saying, âThat dog isnât sick, Second Young Mistress. It just seems to be choking on something! If you allow me to, Iâll definitely treat it!â
The truth was, it really was just a dying dog. Even so, Gerald still needed a way to get close to Fae.
While this could be seen as being overly cautious, he had learned his lesson after that incident back at Fyre Cave. Due to his and Walterâs mistake, they ended up bumping into Ryder. Had he not possessed the Herculean Primordial Spirit, Gerald wouldâve surely died there and thenâ¦
With that in mind, since Gerald still didnât know how powerful the Zandts were yet, he didnât want to act hastily. Either way, he was hoping that Second Young Mistress would take the bait.
Whatever the case was, after hearing Geraldâs statement, she immediately scowled, âDo you speak the truth?â
âI wouldnât dare lie to you, Second Young Mistress! You see, my family used to have a dog, and Iâve seen these symptoms before. I should note that l was the one who ended up saving my dog!â replied Gerald with a smile.
âFine. If you do manage to save Ginger, then Iâll promote you to be one of my valets. Like the other valets, youâll be given better clothes, and a better room. What more, by staying by my side every day, not only will you never get bullied again, but youâll be doing the bullying instead!â said Fae.
âI appreciate it, Second Young Mistress..!â exclaimed Gerald before walking over to the dog.
Following that, he began pretending to skillfully poke the dog in several areas while thinking, âYou really are lucky to have such a good owner⦠If you didnât belong to her, I wouldnât be using my essential qi to save you otherwise! Enjoy your extra year of life!â
After injecting enough essential qi into the ailing dog, it rolled to its feet before happily barking!
âDo my eyes deceive me? Have you truly recovered, Ginger?! Itâs settled! Youâll be getting lots of treats and new clothes tomorrow when we go shopping together!â exclaimed the thrilled Fae.
Once she calmed down a bit, she turned to look at Gerald while saying, âYouâre not too bad, Chuck!
Youâve done an astounding job! As promised, youâre now promoted to my valet, and youâll be following me around starting tomorrow. Make sure to tell him what my rules are, Bobby, and get him a better set of clothes. I donât want him dressing all shabby and embarrassing me!â
âUnderstood, Second Young Mistress!â declared Bobby as he led Gerald out of the room.
It was only after midnight when Gerald contacted Professor Boyle to give him an update. While he was at it, he made sure to give Darkwind and Lyndon some instructions now that Fae had taken his bait.
