Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1327
“…W-what…?!” shouted Bradly, an utterly horrified and incredulous expression on his face as he stared wide-eyed
at Gerald.
Bradley was already someone who possessed immense strength. With that in mind, how could an ordinary person
like Gerald—who looked no older than Seamus—actually cause him to flinch from attacking?
Had he not witnessed Gerald’s sudden attack just seconds ago, he wouldn’t have believed how capable the youth
truly was! But this was illogical, wasn’t it?
As Bradley—in his shock and horror—continued trying to make sense of the situation, Hershel could simply frown as
he turned to look at his younger brother.
Rupert, Fleur, and the others from King Valley, on the other end, were now feeling like they had finally been graced
with hope after being pushed into such a desperate situation earlier.
To think that he had such ungodly strength… Thinking back, since none of them had been able to discern how
powerful he truly was earlier, it was lucky that they didn’t offend him too badly…

he immediately got to his feet.
Fleur herself had already wiggled free when everyone was still dumbfounded earlier, and she had just successfully
freed her sister as well at the moment.
Running back to where most of the King Valley guards were, Yenny panted before saying, “S-sister! It’s him! I hadn’t
noticed his presence earlier, but it turns out that he isn’t dead!”
“Hush! Don’t say anything first!” replied Fleur who was equally as surprised as Yenny was.
With the atmosphere now extremely cold and solemn, Bradley eventually frowned before asking, “…Who are you?”
Though he had already noticed Gerald’s presence long before Peter had even begun fighting Seamus, Bradley
hadn’t really paid much attention to him, especially since he looked so young. Instead, his attention was fully
preoccupied with the three masters, Rupert, and the two gunmen from earlier.
He now knew, however, that this kid possessed truly extraordinary strength. With that in mind, it was obvious that
he had something to rely on.
Bradley was a person who had survived countless rains of bullets throughout the years, and aside from using brute
force, the reason why he was still alive was because he had always been extremely careful. Even if he was facing a
seemingly ordinary man, he knew better than to underestimate his opponent. After all, he was experienced enough
to know that everything could go wrong because of a single wrong judgment.
Seeing that Gerald wasn’t replying, Rupert—who was now finally regaining a bit of confidence—cleared his throat as
he said, “…Well then! I hadn’t expected our benefactor from back then to raise such an outstanding apprentice! I
admit that I was a bit too rash and impetuous just now… If I remember correctly, Myles had said that you wished to
collect three Cherish Herbs, correct? If you help us deal with the Fairleighs, forget three, I’ll give you ten of them!
Hell, I’ll even throw in another seventy-five thousand dollars! How about it?”
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply turned to look at him before smiling coldly as he replied, “I hope you understand
that I only saved you earlier due to how sincerely Myles was begging me to! Are you honestly attempting to use
those simple terms, thinking you can just dismiss me after I deal with them? When you’re currently at such a critical
moment that could easily spell your death?”
What Gerald had said was no exaggeration. Had he not felt Myles’s immense loyalty, Gerald wouldn’t even have
considered saving Rupert’s life. After all, he could’ve just obtained the medicine on his own once Rupert was dead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing Gerald’s reply, Rupert instantly felt his heart clench.
Since Gerald looked like a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen much of the world, Rupert had assumed that Gerald
would definitely be surprised by his sudden offer. In the end, however, Rupert was the one who was surprised since
Gerald didn’t seem to care about the offer at all!
“…Do you not think that my offer is good enough, young lad? What do you wish for then? Just say the word and I’ll
give it to you as long as you’re willing to help get rid of my enemies for me!” bargained Rupert.
“Oh, what I want is quite simple. I just wish to own a fifth of the King Valley!” replied Gerald with a laugh.
“…I… I beg your pardon…?” replied Rupert, his eyes widened in shock.
Even Fleur hadn’t expected Gerald to be this greedy!
“Oh? Hmm… Well, I said I just wish to own a fourth of the King Valley!” said Gerald with a smirk.
Now breathing frantically, Rupert finally realized how seriously he had underestimated the kid. To think that this
young country bumpkin would even dare to ask for a fifth of the King Valley! As if that wasn’t already outrageous
enough, he was now asking for a fourth!
“…I’m sure I heard you said a fifth earlier… Regardless, I won’t lie that it’s exceedingly difficult for me to just hand
over a fifth of my valley to you! How about this? Should you be willing to help me deal with them, I’ll give you a
tenth of this place! It’ll certainly be more than sufficient for you to lead an easy and carefree life from the money
generated from that area!”
