Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 910
Immediately after saying that, Noah let out a sneer.
Bryson himself was finally catching on to how cornered he truly was. He wouldâve never imagined that the Schuylers were actually this capable.
âYou⦠Have you captured Jasmine and Mindyâ¦?â
âHumph. You have five minutes to consider it, Lord Fenderson. Also, donât even bother relying on the board of directors. Rest assured that even those loyalest to you will be quick to sign and approve of it,â
replied Noah, disregarding Brysonâs question entirely.
âFine, Iâll sign it! Still, Iâd like you to clarify something. Have all of you truly become the Moldellâs lackeys?â asked Bryson with a resentful tone as he signed the agreement form.
âLackey is an unpleasant term, Lord Fenderson. Iâm simply choosing to work with the wiser person! Do note that you were the one who brought this upon yourself! After all, you refused the Moldell familyâs proposal to cooperate with them in search of Gerald within the Salford Province!â said Noah.
âAs part of our deal with the Moldells, once weâre in power, weâll be using the Fenderson familyâs name to seek Gerald out! Speaking of deals, once weâve smoked him out, the Fenderson familyâs surname will be no more! Instead, youâll all be adopting the surname of Schuyler! As I said before, this is all your own doing, so donât blame me!â added Noah.
âNow then, someone please take him back to his room so that he can get his rest. Guard him properly.
We canât delay the major occasion thatâll take place tomorrow.â
Finally done with his monologue, Noah then walked out of the room with his men.
Meanwhile, more and more kidnapped people were being brought to the Schuyler familyâs secret room.
As was previously deduced, most, if not all, of the people there were those whom the Fendersons trusted or relied on a lot.
âThis simply wonât do⦠I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to grandpa⦠We need to think of a way to escape soon!â said Jasmine.
âWe do. Iâve been thinking for a while, and the best we can probably do now is gather those in the room who have great martial art skills and attempt to break out!â replied Warren.
He then added, âFrom what I can tell and have personally experienced, you should be the most skilled martial artist among all of us here, Miss Jasmine. You seem to be proficient with guns as well. Including Maia and I, the three of us will be taking the vanguard on our way out. Still, that makes only three peopleâ¦â
âI know martial arts as well! Count me in!â
âMe as well!â
It didnât take long for over ten new faces to step forward. Their courage had stemmed from their indignance about the entire situation, and nobody in the room was willing to bow down to that b*stard Noah without a fight.
âWhile I know youâre itching to escape, do be careful out there, mister! Since youâre not from the Fenderson family, Iâm sure they wonât make things too difficult for you. Even so, things could get nasty should Noah catch you during your escape attempt!â said one of the captured men in the room.
Gerald himself was gesturing his hands wildly, telling them to not act impetuously and simply wait a little longer.
âHumph! The weak should just let the strong take the lead,â said Warren as he shook his head in resignation.
After looking at Gerald for a while, Jasmine nodded before adding, âI currently have to agree with Warrenâs statement. Attempting to break out of this place will be much better than simply resigning to our fates.â
In her mind, she was thinking about how she could quickly inform the others about the Schuylerâs plan should she make it out safely. If that were to happen, the Schuylers could be dealt with before they could implement whatever they had planned.
âIâm glad to hear that. Speaking of which, Iâve noticed that the defense system in the house is quite lenient. However, I have a feeling that things will be much stricter outside. Are you familiar with the exterior of the Schuyler familyâs mansion?â asked Warren.
âI am. Stick close to me on our way out. Iâll lead you along the paths that I think should be less guarded.
With any luck, weâll be able to break out of this place.â
Hearing that, Gerald then said, âAh! Ah ah!â
It was evident that he was telling them to bring him along.
âI know youâre afraid, Sanderson, but we may not even succeed in breaking out! What more, we donât know how dangerous it is yet outside there!â replied Jasmine with a hint of concern in her voice.
Maia herself simply rolled her eyes at his suggestion.
âWith our family in its current condition, I canât just stay here doing nothing either, Jasmine! Iâm coming along!â declared Mindy as she gritted her teeth.
Upon hearing that, Jasmine turned to look at the rest of the people stuck in there. While many had gained courage earlier when the escape plan had been mentioned, many more were still shivering in fright at the thought of being caught again by the Schuylers.
Since Mindy and Sanderson werenât part of the group that was afraid, after considering it for a brief moment, Jasmine nodded with a sigh as she looked at Mindy.
âHold on! I donât agree with this! As was said before, we donât know how dangerous it is out there yet!
Coming with us when you donât know any martial arts could very well end with something going terribly wrong, Miss Mindy and Sanderson!â said Maia.
âLetâs not waste our energy arguing about this. For now, letâs just discuss how weâll escape while we wait till itâs dark,â stated Jasmine, preventing Maia from creating unnecessary tension.
As the group took a brief break to calm themselves, Gerald snuck to a corner of the room. Once he was there, he took out what seemed like a jade pendant from his pocket. Upon closer inspection, however, the âpendantâ had a button on it.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald then pressed the button.
