Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1305
With that, the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal agreed to cooperate to hunt Gerald down. It was evident
that seeking Gerald out was crucial for both Yreth and the King of Judgement Portal.
At the same time, both forces were also well aware that even Queena—who owned the Squad of Divine Grimness—
was looking for Gerald. Unlike them, however, Queena’s aim of finding Gerald was to make him marry her.
Despite the clear differences in their interests in finding Gerald, both Lady Gunter and the King of Judgement Portal
still made sure to keep a close eye on Queena’s actions.
Regardless, the task of seeking out Gerald was given mainly to Felton and Hogan.
While the Gunters were indeed in full control over Ancient City, their true influence spanned the entirety of Querton
City.
With that in mind, the Gunters immediately ordered the Simes—from Querton city— to aid them in their search for
Gerald by utilizing large groups of people as well as by providing them with any necessary resources.
Even with so many people dedicated to hunting Gerald down, however, Yreth was unable to find him at all despite
having investigated every spot she could think of in Qerton City! Naturally, this greatly infuriated her.
Eventually, every nook and cranny in the city had been searched, though there still weren’t any signs of Gerald… All
that was left, was the vast shantytown…
By that point, both Felton and Hogan were already feeling extremely anxious due to their failure to locate Gerald,
even after a week. With that, both of them then headed to the shantytown with a team—provided by the Simes—
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat consisted of around two hundred people.
‘If we still failed to find him here, then Dordwell Heights is the only place left for us to search…’ Felton thought to
himself extremely sternly.
He knew for a fact that Gerald hadn’t left the city since his grandmother had previously used the Dead Annies to
check for Gerald’s presence. But where the hell was he…?
…
Meanwhile, an adorable little girl—who had her hair tied in pigtails and looked to be around six—could be seen
standing in a small courtyard of a house within the shantytown as she delightfully said, “I’ll be heading off for school
now, Brother Crawford and Sister Monica! I’ll come play with you again tomorrow! Oh! And these are some eggs
that my mom told me to hand over to you!”
Turning to look at the elder brother and elder sister figures, she then smiled before adding, “Since you’re sick, be
sure to eat more eggs to get healthier sooner, Brother Crawford!”
Upon hearing that, the woman—who had been standing at the side—instantly burst into laughter.
Naturally, the ‘Brother Crawford’ in question was none other than Gerald. Though he was now doing far better after
that man healed him, his body was still extremely weak at the moment. As for ‘Sister Monica’, she was the woman
that had been looking after Gerald—along with that middle-aged man—this entire time, and her full name was
Monica Leonard.
“What a good girl! But yes, I’ll make sure your Brother Crawford eats lots of eggs till he gets healthy again! Don’t
worry, I’ll keep an eye on him!” replied Monica with a grin.
Knowing that the child meant no harm with her words, Gerald simply laughed along as he looked at the young girl
with adoring eyes.
Still, he truly had suffered from massive injuries this time around, and it wasn’t a stretch to say that he could’ve
easily died back then after being tortured so much by Hogan. By the time he was rescued, not only had most of his
veins and bones already snapped, but he was also suffering from terrible internal injuries as well as from highly
potent poison.
Even so, from the middle-aged man’s point of view, Gerald already had it good enough since he had managed to
escape with his life intact. Still, while the man had estimated that Gerald would only regain consciousness after at
least a month had passed, he truly hadn’t expected the youth to wake up just three days later!
The fact that his broken bones and internal injuries were healing so rapidly honestly made Monica both frightened
and jealous of Gerald’s unique—and quite frankly abnormal—physique.
While it was true that he had regained consciousness on the third day he was there, he was only able to get out of
bed on the sixth, which was the day before.
Due to how weak Gerald currently was—since his body was still recovering—the middle-aged man had set off for
Dordwell Heights first thing in the morning to gather herbs for him again.
Speaking of that man, ever since Gerald had regained consciousness, he had found the middle-aged man to be
extremely familiar and friendly, though he wasn’t quite sure if that was just a biased viewpoint since the man had,
after all, saved his life.
Both Monica and the man were quite mysterious to Gerald.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, when asked where she originated from, Monica refused to give him a clear answer. All he knew about her
was that she had stayed by that man’s side for a good two years by now.
The man himself was even more mystifying. After all, even though Gerald had asked him time and again why he
had appeared all of a sudden to save him, the man simply avoided giving a direct answer. Not wanting to continue
being rude to his savior, Gerald soon decided not to pry any further.
Instead, he chose to obey the man’s orders to simply remain in the shantytown—for the time being—to recuperate
with peace of mind.
As for the little girl from earlier, she went by the name of Sierra. Throughout his time awake, Gerald had gotten to
know the cute and kind girl fairly well. From what he was told, she was the youngest daughter from Elias Leakin’s
family, which was one of the families here in the shantytown.
He also found out that when she was younger, she had fallen terribly ill. Ever since she was saved by that man,
however, she had treated him like her godfather, which explained why she kept coming over to his house whenever
she could.
In fact, she was there so often that she was tasked with wiping Gerald’s face for him every day. Additionally, she
even brought lots of food for him! The fact that the food mostly consisted of candies and snacks—foods of which
Sierra treasured most—certainly warmed Gerald’s heart.
Regardless, Gerald waved at the girl—who was now running off while waving back at him—before shouting, “See
you, Sierra!”
From what he had been told, the girl was studying in the middle class of kindergarten…
