Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1723
“…Miss Zorn?” says the narrator. Is it you, sir?” As he faced the trees, Gerald enquired.
“…Gerald?” So, it’s you!” exclaimed Juno, as she and her servants hurriedly emerged from the trees.
“Miss Zorn, what brings you here?” As he looked at her, Gerald was taken aback.
“What do you mean when you say what brought us here?”
It’s been two days since you left! Even so, I had a feeling you were still alive!
I’m just glad I was able to track you down! What are you doing all the way out here, anyway?”
Gerald turned to look at Old Hughes for a brief moment after hearing Juno’s question before awkwardly replying,
“…About that… Let’s just discuss it when we get back. “How are the others doing?” says the narrator.

sigh of relief as Juno replied with a smile.
“All right, then… “Who is he now…?” Juno inquired, raising a brow and casting a glance at Old Hughes.
“This is Old Hughes, and he’s the one who saved me!” Gerald said after a brief moment of staring at the elderly
gentleman.
“…Oh? I see what you mean! So, Old Hughes, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Juno Zorn: My name is Juno Zorn, and I
am the Zorn family’s eldest young lady! “Many thanks for rescuing Gerald!” Juno said this in an obnoxious tone.
“There’s no need to thank me!” Old Hughes replied with a smile. Anyone would have acted in the same way!
After all, as the saying goes, “saving a life is more valuable than constructing a seven-story pagoda”! Also, the
pleasure is mine, Zorn family’s eldest young lady!”
While he was familiar with the Zorns, this was Old Hughe’s first encounter with a member of the family.
“Well, now that you’re safe, Gerald, let’s get back to my place!” Juno exclaimed. After all, it wasn’t exactly safe to
stay out here for extended periods of time.
When Gerald realised this, he turned to face the old man and asked, “Agreed!” Why don’t you join us, Old Hughes,
while we’re on the subject?
Regardless of what you say, I want to express my gratitude for everything you’ve done!”
“Gerald is correct! With that in mind, Old Hughes, please come along with us!” Juno seconded the motion.
Old Hughes, on the other hand, just smiled and shook his head before saying, “What that sounds lovely, I’ll have to
refuse…”
Gerald could only helplessly say, “…Well, alright then…,” when he saw the old man was truly unwilling to come
along. Since that is the case, please accept my heartfelt gratitude! Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to repay your

Old Hughes simply replied, “Alright, alright, off you go!” with a chuckle. Remember to be cautious out there! Make
good use of it!”
Gerald gave a firm nod when he heard that. Gerald would have used the sword properly even if the old man hadn’t
reminded him.
After that, Gerald, Juno, and her men slowly vanished into the forest…
A shadowy figure leapt out of the forest, followed by a dozen more men in black garb, not long after that group had
left…
Stopping right in front of Old Hughes, the shadowy figure asked, “How did it go, Master Hughes?” with a sinister
expression.
“The sword is now in Gerald’s hands,” Old Hughes simply replied, staring back at the shadowy figure. With that said,
it’s now up to you to get to work!”
