Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2299
“Just make up an excuse. That good-for-nothing Carter is nothing but a coward… He’s probably just worried that his
position will be negatively influenced if anything happens! How unfortunate for our military to have a person like
him as our leader!” sneered Maddox.
“Loud and clear,” replied the soldier with a nod.
Juggling his army dagger that had a crimson blade, Maddox then looked at the soldier before asking, “Speaking of
which, have all of you prepared the things I’ve told you to?”

“Wait till night comes. Remember, if anyone asks, just tell them that I’m leading all of you out for a routine patrol.
Don’t answer anything else!” ordered Maddox after thinking about it for a while.
Throughout this period, Maddox had been doing quite a few eye catching activities in preparation for getting rid of
Gerald for good. Since it was clear that he was trying to replace Carter to become the new leader, Maddox was well
aware that he could make new enemies within the military at any second. With that in mind, the less his men
revealed, the lower the chances of his goals getting affected by those under Carter in the end.
“Not to worry! This isn’t my first day working under you, deputy captain!” replied the soldier with a chuckle.
“Glad to hear. Now leave me be. Once all this is over, not only will you get a two month vacation, but you’ll also be

“I appreciate it, deputy captain!” declared the soldier with a wide smile before bowing and leaving Maddox’s office.

the desk to crack a little.
“Once I end you, I’ll surely be promoted to military captain…” growled Maddox as he grinned wickedly.
Truth be told, he had already been planning all this ever since Gerald took down the three major families in Yanam.
His excitement had only grown with Godwin’s disappearance, thinking that he’d surely become the next captain
with how capable he was.
Unfortunately, that d*mned Carter had appeared out of nowhere and snatched the position from him! Naturally,

Regardless, once he got rid of Gerald, Maddox was going to make sure that everyone in the country would learn

giving him a chance to replace that coward…!
Fast forward to dusk, Maddox and his secretary who was holding onto their umbrella could be seen walking toward
a large gate at the side of their base. Aside from the ten prepared looking people whom Maddox had transferred
over, Maddox could also see the equipment that he had taken from the armory being loaded into the back of one of
the SUVs.
Upon realizing that Maddox was here, everyone immediately declared, “Vice captain!”
“Everything ready to go?” asked Maddox as he looked at his men.
