Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 679

“A chance?” asked Queta in surprise.

In his mind, Gerald thought, ‘That unlicensed tour guide I met with earlier might be our next best shot.’

‘Come to think of it, that slick plump man cheated me of three hundred dollars!’

Gerald recalled the moment when he had heard the uproar near the hot spring area just as he was about to give that man a piece of his mind. Because of that, Gerald had failed to get him to share more information about the girl.

However, Gerald was certain that that man definitely knew more about her. After all, the middle-aged man had said himself that the girl had been there twice.

After making up his mind, it wasn’t difficult for Gerald to locate where the man lived.

It was around noon when Gerald and his men drove to the unlicensed tour guide’s house.

Upon arriving, the tour guide—who was thankfully at home—recognized Gerald and instantly became nervous.

After all, he had only cheated the three hundred dollars off Gerald knowing full well that Gerald wasn’t a local.

Unfortunately, local or not, Gerald was now at his home with a group of black-suited bodyguards standing behind him.

“Um… Good day sir… What exactly are you planning to do?” asked the middle-aged man as he chuckled nervously.

“Oh, I don’t plan to do anything. I just came here to meet you!” replied Gerald as he slid his left hand into his pocket before casually entering the man’s house without even waiting to be invited in.

Once he was inside, Gerald immediately sat on the man’s couch as his subordinates entered as well.

Each of his subordinates looked like men who shouldn’t be trifled with.

Finding the television remote, Gerald then began flipping through the channels. He was deliberately acting like he owned the place, not even bothering to say a word to the middle-aged man.

Seeing that, the man gulped, uncertain of what to do since he had no idea what Gerald had in plan for him.

Not knowing what else to do, he went toward Gerald before saying, “Um… Sir, I really don’t think I need that three hundred dollars anymore… If you look around, you’ll notice that my family’s condition isn’t all that optimal. In addition, there are both old and young ones living in this house… I’ll get straight to the point. I’m in quite dire need of money and I admit to cheating you of three hundred dollars… However!

I’ve not touched a single penny of that money, and I’ll gladly return all of it to you!”

The plump man was obviously experienced in his craft. He knew how to read the situation well, and with Gerald here, the slick man knew that he couldn’t afford to displease him.

Hearing that, Gerald simply pinched the bridge of his nose before smiling slightly.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to retrieve that money. On the contrary, if you’re willing to cooperate and tell me a little more about something, I’ll hand you even more cash!”

Hearing that, the plump man then forced a smile before saying, “Is this about that rich young lady from before? Why are you so interested in her, sir?”

“Hmm?”

Without even waiting for Gerald to say another word, a bodyguard standing beside him instantly glared at the middle-aged man.

“Ah, I understand. I shouldn’t ask what isn’t appropriate. I get it now. Regardless, I’ve truly only met her once. While I know that she’s both rich and influential, I’m honestly clueless about her origins.

However, I do know something else. She’s about your age and she studies in the same school as my son! He even knows her!” replied the man as honestly as possible, knowing very well that he couldn’t mess around with Gerald.

He then stood up and shouted, “Come over here, Marven! These people aren’t here looking for trouble!”

“Oh? I see! Coming!”

Soon after, the door to what seemed like a bedroom creaked open and out stepped a plump young man. His body’s shape was almost identical to his father’s.

Still, it was rather ridiculous how the middle-aged man had made it sound like people coming over to cause trouble for him was nothing new.

“Hurry up and tell this fine gentleman about the rich young lady from your school!”

“Well… She’s equally as mysterious, powerful, and influential in our school. While she studies in the class beside mine, we have our union class together. However, she never says a word to us! All of us are quite frankly terrified of her and nobody really dares to take the initiative to speak with her, not even the teachers! Though who can really blame us when she’s always surrounded by so many powerful bodyguards!” replied Marven with a chuckle.

“I do, however, sit in the row beside her at times to eavesdrop on her conversations with her friends.

Due to that, I came to realize that they enjoyed traveling all over the place! It’s also the reason why my dad was able to act as their tour guide at the scenic spot!”

So the plump young man was equally as witty as his father. It was clear that everything that he did served to help his father gain more business.

Regardless, after hearing what Marven had to say, Gerald became much more intrigued by the girl.

What a mysterious person she was.
