The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 913
ââ¦Who are you? Did Yael send you here?â asked Jasmine in a rather doubtful tone.
Though night had come, the headlights from all the cars were bright enough for those within Jasmineâs group to see how imposingly solemn the bodyguards looked as they stood behind their leader.
It was clear that these bodyguards had received only the strictest of training, and from what Jasmine knew, only a few large families could afford to hire such powerful bodyguards.
What more, it was already so late yet the men had arrived with such grandeur. How couldnât they be Yaelâs subordinates? Knowing that only served to amplify Jasmine and the othersâ anxiety as they stood close to each other in preparation to either attack or run.
âHumph. Yael? Who the hell is that?â sneered the young man of a leader before adding, âI was ordered by my master to transport you away from danger, Miss Fenderson. I hope that youâll cooperate since we really donât have much time to spare. Come with us.â
âThis master of yours⦠Who is he?â asked Jasmine with a slightly raised brow.
The youth, however, said nothing and simply returned into his car.
As soon as he did that, two bodyguards walked over to Jasmineâs group before saying, âPlease enter the car, Miss Fenderson, and the rest of you. Weâll be bringing you to someplace safe.â
Upon hearing that, Jasmine and the others could only look at each other.
If the men truly had vicious intentions, then they wouldâve definitely attacked Jasmine and her group the moment they stood before them. However, they didnât. There was also the issue with how many powerful guards were present. Jasmine knew for a fact that none of them could handle that many trained guards at a time.
In the end, Jasmine simply nodded. What other choice did they have but to believe them?
After entering the car, all fifty over cars instantly began speeding down the road. It was a while later when the cars finally stopped again outside a large warehouse located somewhere within the suburbs of the city.
âYaelâs men shouldnât be able to find this place easily, so youâre safe for now,â said the leader from before as he lit a cigarette while leading the group further into the place. After a brief walk, Jasmine and her group were instantly relieved to see that warm meals had been prepared for them.
âThank you for saving us, sir⦠How should we address you?â asked Maia gratefully as she felt her heart flutter. She was weak toward people who had unyielding demeanors such as the leader who had just brought them here.
âHaha! Youâre very welcome! Though itâs honestly not me you should be thanking. Iâm just following orders from my master. Regardless, eat the food while itâs warm and get some rest. Weâll be sending you back to the Fenderson family mansion tomorrow.â
ââ¦Um⦠Sirâ¦?â
Just as Jasmine was about to ask him something, the young man turned around and tossed his cigarette to the ground. After stepping on itâto put it outâhe walked out of the room before Jasmine could even finish her question.
With his departure, only about a dozen people remained inside the warehouse.
âSay Jasmine⦠Do you have any idea who saved usâ¦? Since the Fendersons are so powerful and influential, could the person who helped us be one of your ancestorsâ friends?â asked Maia.
Hearing that, Jasmine shook her head with a frown before saying, âI really doubt that⦠After all, anyone reliable from either my or the subservient families under us had already been captured by Noah as seen earlier within the hidden room. As for friends of the family, I donât remember any of them being this mysterious, powerful, or even influential! I really donât have the slightest clue of who could be doing all thisâ¦â
âI see⦠Regardless, due to their lack of hostility this entire time, I truly believe we can let our guard down around them,â said Maia.
In response, the others nodded in agreement.
A brief moment later, Jasmine looked at both Maia and Warren before asking, âBoth of you seem to have undergone professional training⦠Itâs evident through how proficient both of you are with your martial arts. Could it be that neither of you are mere transfer students?â
At that, Maia smiled before replying, âYouâre sharp. While itâs true that being transfer students is merely a guise, Iâm afraid we canât reveal our true identities to you⦠I hope you can understand.â
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gerald was slowly lowering Stella into a car as he ordered the driver to send her home.
She was shocked the moment she heard him say, âHead straight for home and have a good rest. By the time you wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be dealt with.â
âGerald, itâs too dangerous out here! Why donât you just come with me and stay the night in my home?â
replied Stella, her worry reflected in her tone.
âNo can do. I still have some things to settle tonight.â
âBut thunder can already be heard⦠Itâll be raining heavily soon⦠All of us are already saved! What else needs to be done?â said Stella, persistent that he leave with her.
âJust remember our promise. Aside from keeping the fact that youâve seen me a secret, you donât have to worry about anything else.â
