The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 577
âOh my god! That was him? We were actually walking together with Mr. Crawford of Mayberry City?!â
âHarper, youâre not pulling our legs, are you?â asked several of the girls in unison.
âWhat would I gain from lying to you? Geraldâs always been low-key and we honestly just found out about his real identity quite recently!â replied Harper as he smiled.
âNo wonder I kept feeling that Gerald was a little too attractive while we were walking together earlier!
So he really is the one and only Mr. Crawford!â
Everyone continued laughing and chatting about Gerald after that. He was now their main topic of conversation.
Harper had planned to take his sister and the other girls around campus to show them where places like the library and swimming pool were. After that, they would be taken to the campusâs cultural exhibition center.
It wasnât long before a few of the girls couldnât walk any further. After all, Mayberry University was quite enormous.
âStop! I canât go on anymore! I need to take a short rest and Iâm thirsty!â
One after another, the girls cried out.
âYou shouldâve mentioned it earlier if you were thirsty! Iâll go get you girls some drinks!â replied Harper.
âIâm coming along as well!â said Benjamin. He figured that it would be awkward for him to stay with the group of girls by himself so he decided to follow Harper.
The nearest supermarket was about eight minutes away and once they got there, Harper bought six bottles of black tea.
As the duo left the building, they saw two Maybach cars parked at the entrance of the supermarket.
Eight young men wearing sunglasses were standing attentively in front of the two cars. All of them were staring at Harper and Benjamin.
When both of them tried to leave, all eight men stepped forward to block their path.
âWhat are you trying to do?â asked Harper.
âFollow us!â said the person who seemed to be the leader as he pointed at the fence behind the supermarket. His tone was frigidly cold and he had long hair. Though he looked like a woman, his cold temperament would make anyone shudder in fear.
âWhy should we when we donât even know who you are?â asked Benjamin in return.
Immediately after he spoke, he tried to leave with Harper. However, his attempt was thwarted when the leader instantly grabbed Benjaminâs shoulder.
The rest of the young men acted swiftly as well, and they all grabbed both Benjamin and Harper. The duo was then forced toward the fence behind the supermarket.
By them, several people in the supermarket had noticed the scene and they were all equally stunned.
After all, there were two Maybach cars parked at the entrance and it was obvious that the eight young men werenât ordinary people.
About ten minutes later, the group of people returned, cracking their necks and wrists as they left the fenced area.
The leader wiped what seemed to be blood off his hands with a piece of tissue before tossing it to the side.
They were now walking toward the supermarket.
A girl was waiting for them there and she giggled as she licked her ice-cream.
âMiss Natasha, itâs done!â replied the long-haired leader.
His voice was apparently cold no matter who he was talking to.
âHaha⦠Thanks for the hard work, Dante. Itâs such a pity that my informant came back to report early.
Thatâs why you didnât get to capture Gerald too. D*mn it! This is so unsatisfying!â
Though Natasha had just arrived at the university for a day, she already had many followers of her own.
She was also acting rampantly so nobody dared to provoke her.
What more, she had arrived at the university in a very-high-profile convoy on the very first day of school. This made everyone afraid of her.
âIt wasnât hard work at all. Iâm always honored to do anything for Miss Natasha and Miss Xavia!â
âAlright then, you can return for now. Be ready for my next call as it could be at any time!â said Natasha as she waved her hand to send the men away before licking her ice-cream again.
Meanwhile, the girls back at campus couldnât help but feel like something was off.
âItâs been quite long⦠Why arenât Harper and Benjamin back yet?â
âItâs been about twenty minutes already⦠Why donât we go over instead to try looking for them?â
âLetâs go!â
Before they could leave, a girl who seemed to be their classmate from the neighboring dormitory suddenly ran toward Roseanne and the others.
âR-Roseanne! Something bad has happened! When I went to the supermarket earlier, I saw your brother getting stopped by several men before getting beaten up!â
