Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 945

By then, both Raquel and Jefferson had arrived at the commercial building’s entrance.

In truth, Jefferson had indeed parked his car appropriately by the side of the road. However, a team of cars seemed to have parked right in the middle of the road!

Since Jefferson’s car had been parked in the only lane that the team of cars didn’t block, in a way, his car truly was blocking the road!

“Hey! We’re clearly not the one at fault here! After all, it’s that team of cars that are blocking most of the road! Why should we be the only ones ordered to move our car?” shouted Raquel, unable to reconcile with the staff member’s logic.

“Hah! Just look at your car’s brand then compare it to that of the team of cars! Though I guess you’re from out of town since you don’t seem to know how things work here. Listen, just move your car immediately. Don’t blame me if something happens, because I’m pretty sure your Boss Gram or whatever his name is won’t be able to take responsibility if things go south!” sneered the staff member.

“…Well, I have heard that only people with great influence and power in Talgo Town are able to own and go around with this many cars…” muttered Jefferson.

“I’m glad that you understand that,” said the staff member before finally leaving.

“Let’s just move our car somewhere else while we can… My uncle will probably suffer terribly if we end up offending the local influential people…”

“Alright!” replied Raquel with a sigh before sticking her tongue out at the staff member’s back.

As they walked toward their car, she looked at the team of luxurious cars and couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous.

She wasn’t the only one who felt that way either. It was evident that all the pedestrians who were walking past the cars were feeling the same jealousy she was. After all, who wouldn’t want to be well-

regarded and do as they pleased on the road? To have the power to park right in the middle of the road without anyone making a fuss about it?

Raquel certainly did. How domineering the person who owned all the cars must be!

At that moment, all the cars’ doors were opened and out stepped several bodyguards donning black suits. They all looked equally imposing and their extraordinarily solemn expressions suggested that they were waiting for someone no less important than a respectful king.

“Could they be working for some influential group in Talgo Town?”

“I wonder myself… I’ve honestly never seen such imposing subordinates belonging to any of the influential groups from both Talgo Town and even Heavenly City!”

“Maybe they’re working for a new influential group that’s quickly rising up the ranks!”

“Beats me, but regardless, all of them look utterly powerful!”

Everyone was now gossiping as they continued sneaking glances at the bodyguards, stunned by their intimidating demeanors.

Shortly after, what seemed to be the leaders of the bodyguards began guiding their men over to where Raquel and her boyfriend were standing. As a result, both of them were so terrified that they were paralyzed in place. Their fear was so great that they didn’t even consider driving away, even though they were standing right next to their car!

However, the group of bodyguards ended up ignoring them, choosing instead to stare at the direction of the commercial store.

Just as Raquel and Jefferson gulped in relief, the leaders of the guards began walking forward.

Turning around to see where they were headed to, the leaders stopped right before a youth before shouting in unison, “The car is this way, sir! Please, follow us!”

Hearing that, another subordinate—who was stationed in front of one of the cars—immediately opened the car’s door.

“Did you hear that? They called him sir! To think that we’d get to see a big boss today!”

“Yeah! Look over there! He’s so young!”

As the crowd whispered to each other in astonishment, Raquel found herself dumbfounded as well.

After all, never would she have imagined that Gerald was the one the bodyguards were all waiting for.

“Alright, then! Let’s head off!” replied Gerald with a nod.

As the group walked past Raquel and Jefferson, Gerald made sure to glance casually at Raquel.

Seeing that, Raquel’s astonishment and shock seemed to amplify. Even her boyfriend slowly loosed his grip on Raquel’s hand. After all, Raquel had targeted Gerald on multiple occasions.

To think that he was such a powerful person with so many trained subordinates…

Gerald, however, simply looked away from her after a short while. He didn’t need to bother himself with such a weak woman.

After getting into his car, the revving of engines could be heard as the group of cars immediately sped off, leaving Raquel behind with a cocktail of complicated emotions.

Fear was one of them as she continued staring off into the distance, not even sure how to process everything she had just witnessed.
