Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 928
The bus was currently traveling up a mountainous road, and aside from the occasional driver, the road was—for
the most part—completely empty. No matter which direction one looked, mountains were the only constant sight.
“You know, I heard that lots of robberies happen on this road!” said a fat young man who was clearly finding the
entire journey to be quite depressing.
When he saw that others were now looking at him, he then continued, “It was in the news some time ago! A group
of robbers had apparently taken over a bus on this very road, and once they were done with their looting, they
killed off everyone in the bus!”
“That can’t be true! I’m pretty alert to such news… Why didn’t I see it then?” asked a middle-aged woman rather
nervously.
“Well, the news disappeared not too long after it was released to the public! After all, spreading news like this out of

“Hah. Even if robbers do attack us, we’ll just beat them to death! After all, there are so many of us in here!”
sneered a rather large and muscular man.
“Yes, but we aren’t wielding knives like they are…” mumbled the fat man in response.
Hearing that, everyone fell silent for a while. After all, who wouldn’t be nervous after hearing what he had to say.
A little while later, the same man took out a packet of biscuits and slowly began munching down on them.
“Pfft! Didn’t you say there were robbers along this road? How are you still in the mood to eat now? You’ll definitely
be the first to be robbed since you’re so fat!” said the woman from before in a rather dissatisfied voice.
“Hey, I’m only eating to relieve stress! Here’s a trivia! Humans relax easier when our jaws are constantly moving!”
replied the man.
“Is that really true?”
“I’ve no reason to lie. Here, have a pack of biscuits and try it for yourself!” said the fat man as he handed a packet
to the woman.
“Oh? I’d like some too!” said another person seated on the bus as he laughed.
“My biscuits are precious to me! Don’t any of you bring along your own snacks for long trips? I’ll sell them to you for
three dollars a pack if you truly want some!” replied the fat man as he instantly hugged his luggage bag tightly.
In response, everyone immediately laughed loudly. It was evident that the fat man was a biscuit seller.
However, since a few dollars didn’t mean anything to them, they began handing out money to him to buy some
biscuits.
As the fat man happily took the money and began distributing the biscuits around, he turned to look at the strange
man who had been sitting silently in the bus this entire time. The man himself was wearing a cap and mask which
covered most of his facial features, making it difficult for the fat man to even guess his age. As if he wasn’t odd
enough, sitting right behind him were two extremely weak and fragile-looking men.
Walking over to the trio, the fat man then asked, “None of you have said a word throughout this entire journey, sirs!
Surely you must be hungry too! Why not have some biscuits so that you can relax a bit more?”
In response, the man in the black trench coat simply shook his head.

Let’s just be friends!” added the man.
Instead of replying, however, the masked man simply turned to look out the window.
‘What an odd person…’ Thought the fat man to himself as he turned to look at the girl sitting opposite of the odd
man.
She wore black leather pants as well as a leather jacket. Quite frankly, the long-haired beauty resembled ‘black
spider,’ a famous fictional movie character.
While she definitely looked pretty, she also bore a cold expression on her face.
“How about you, beauty? Do you want some biscuits?” asked the fat man with a smile.
At that, she only shook her head slightly.
“Come on, while the biscuits can be a little sweet, they’re great for helping you relax!” added the man.
Simply wanting him to leave her alone, she then said in an impatient tone, “Just give me a packet then!”
After handing it to her, he continued staring at her with a smile, waiting to collect the money she owed him.
Just as she was about to fish her wallet out, however, she suddenly thought of something.
Turning to look at the man again, she frowned before saying, “I didn’t bring any money out!”
“What? Not even three dollars? That’s a bit far-fetched, I must say!” replied the fat man in surprise.
