Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 924
Squinting his eyes as he scanned the young manâwho was slowly inching awayâfrom head to toe, he then yelled, âHey you! Stop right there!â
Freezing in place, the young beggar was so frightened that he immediately began trembling in fear. He was teary-eyed as he lowered his gaze before pleading, âY-yesâ¦? Please, sir⦠Could you spare me some money for foodâ¦? I beg of youâ¦â
ââ¦Yoel?â replied Gerald in a soft voice.
Hearing that name, the beggar instantly shuddered immensely as he raised his head. The moment Yoel looked into Geraldâs eyes, his lips began quivering like there was no tomorrow.
âG-Gerald?â asked Yoel as he felt his tears rolling down his cheeks.
Taking his mask off in disbelief, Gerald immediately held on to Yoelâs shoulder before replying, âYes!
Yes, itâs me, Yoel!â
âBrother! So youâre still alive!â said Yoel aloud as his crutch fell to the ground.
âI am⦠Yoel⦠How did you end up like thisâ¦?â asked Gerald in shock.
After all, the Yoel he used to know was always so glamorous and well-off back then. It was near impossible for Gerald not to feel distressed after seeing this miserable version of his brother It was a little later when Gerald sat opposite of Yoel at the exact same roadside stall from before.
Pouring Yoel a glass of water before patting him gently on the back, Gerald then said, âEat slowly, the foodâs not going anywhere!â
Upon hearing that, Yoel nodded though that didnât really stop him from continuing to stuff more food into his mouth.
âI really hadnât expected so many things to happen in just six months⦠This is all my fault! All of you were dragged into this because of me!â said Gerald as he began blaming himself.
From what Yoel had told him earlier, though things in Mayberry City mostly remained unchanged throughout the past six months, the same couldnât be said for those who lived within it.
After the incident that befell Gerald, Jett came to Mayberry City. Since Yoel had assumed that Jett had ended Geraldâs life, he brought a few of his men over to personally take revenge against him.
However, it was obvious at first glance that they werenât even close to being worthy opponents for Jett.
Due to Yoelâs initial attack, Jett made it a personal goal of his to make everyone that Gerald knewâbe it his friends or anyone who used to work for himâsuffer.
Naturally, since Yoel had been the one to launch the attack, he ended up suffering the most. Before he was even allowed to leave, they made sure to break one of his legs beyond the point of curing. They wanted him to experience a life worse than death within Mayberry City.
As if that wasnât enough, Jett also secretly assassinated Uncle Holdenâs entire family!
Of course, Jessica was aware of all this, and though she was angry beyond words, there was nothing she could do.
All that led to the events of today.
As for the others, Aiden and his family moved away from Mayberry City to escape the calamity that would soon befall them if they continued staying there any longer. Eventually, Aiden even joined the army.
Even Elena was affected, and from what Yoel had heard, Jettâs subordinates forced her family into bankruptcy. The last piece of information he heard about herâbefore she went off radarâwas that she was currently working as a nurse.
Everything had truly changed for the worst⦠And the Moldells were behind all this suffering.
âJett Moldellâ¦!â growled Gerald in a primal rage as murderous intent flashed through his eyes for a split second.
âStill, Iâve really embarrassed you this time around, brother⦠Iâm nothing more than a useless cripple now! Haha!â said Yoel as he finished his meal with a bitter smile on his face.
âSay that again and Iâll smack you hard⦠Youâre no useless cripple⦠Worry not, Iâll definitely cure your leg one day. As for all the suffering the Holdens had to experience⦠Iâll be doing them justice if itâs the last thing I do!â declared Gerald coldly.
Yoel, however, simply shook his head.
âNo, brother⦠You should leave Mayberry City tonight. The cityâs already changed a whole lot in the past six months. Iâll say it now that Yunus isnât even close to being comparable to Jett. Not only is Jett rich, but heâs also extremely powerful. It wouldnât be a stretch to say that even if Jett had attacked us during our peak glory in the past, we wouldnât have been able to take on him at all!â
âI hear you, Yoel, but you can rest assured. You neednât worry about me.â
âYouâre still evading the Moldell familyâs constant pursuit, arenât you brotherâ¦? What are your plans for the future?â
âHahaha! I have none at the moment⦠Iâll just make decisions as I go along!â
âThen⦠Could I follow you, brother? Dying would be completely worth it if it was together with you, brother. I just⦠really donât want to continue living like this anymore⦠The way things are now, Iâm better off being dead than alive!
Hearing Yoelâs suggestion, Gerald paused for a moment.
What he said was true. Not only did Yoel no longer have a home to return to, but Jett had also tortured him to his current sorry state.
Gerald knew for a fact that he couldnât just abandon him like that.
ââ¦Very well. Youâll be following me from now onward! Both of us will live and die together! However, Iâll still be sending you off to a place where youâll get your injuries treated first,â declared Gerald.
âY-yes! Yes! Weâll live and die together!â shouted Yoel, feeling extremely moved.
With that, Gerald gave Yoel an address and told him to head toward the border of the Salford Province.
There, he would seek refuge with the Westley family where Master Jenkinson also currently resided.
With his help, Yoel would surely make a full recovery.
âWhat about you, brother?â asked Yoel.
âHahaha⦠Well, letâs just say I have something to settle here firstâ¦.â
