Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 917
Almost instantly after, the sounds of wine glasses and plates clattering against each other could be heard.
When everyone turned to look at who was causing the racket, they saw that Berk, Noah, and Yael were all holding
on to the table as they shivered tremendously in horror!
They had reason to be this terrified. After all, all three of them were aware of how mighty the Moldells were. Yet
Gerald had just taken four of them out, right before their very eyes!
As Gerald took a step forward, Berk immediately fell to the ground, shouting, “P-please don’t kill me, Gerald! Spare
me, please!”
The over two hundred pound, brawny man was currently so terrified that mucous was dripping all the way down to
his chin.

none of them are alive because of your men. They were all my friends from Mayberry! Why didn’t you spare them
then?” said Gerald terrifyingly calmly as he patted Berk’s head.
“I-it was wrong of me to do so! It was all my fault! Gerald, pleas-”
Before his sentence could even end, Gerald smacked him hard on the back of his head. It was as though nothing
Berk had said even mattered to Gerald. The next thing everyone knew, Berk’s eyes were bleeding as he flopped
lifelessly to the ground with one final grunt.
As screams filled the air, all color drained from the Schuyler father and son. Both of them immediately found
themselves retreating to a corner of the room. The person before them was no longer human… It was as though
they were staring at the devil himself!
His attention now on the two quivering men, Gerald took a seat as he poured himself a glass of wine.
After biting into an abalone, he swallowed before saying, “So, I heard that both of you have been looking for me all
over the Salford Province. You spent no small amount to hunt me down as well, as I recall. Well, here I am now.
What do you need from me?” asked Gerald as he stared at them in the eye.
“T-there’s nothing we need… Really! There’s nothing important that we want!” stuttered Noah in fear.
‘Nothing? Come now, you already spent all that cash looking for me. And here I was thinking that it must’ve been
something extremely important! That was honestly the only reason why both of you are still alive today!’ sneered
Gerald in response as he finished the abalone and downed the glass of wine till there was nothing left.
Patting his thighs, Gerald then got up and began walking toward the two Schuylers. With every step that he took,
the roars of thunder outside only seemed to grow louder and louder…
Until finally, the clashes stopped and so did the rain.
It was sometime later when bright lights were shone upon the Schuyler family mansion. The lights were so jarring
that anyone from the inside could’ve easily assumed that it was noontime.
Silently, a caped figure grabbed a bag of things before leaving the Schuyler family house, undetected, and

When morning finally came, the weather was crisp due to the rain that had fallen the night before.
Inside a large storeroom, over ten mattresses could be seen laid out all over the place, and sleeping on them, were
Jasmine and her group from the night before.
Upon hearing slowly fading footsteps, Jasmine’s eyelids fluttered. It only took a split second for the girl to jolt awake
and sit at attention. Looking around, she saw that Maia and the others were still sleeping comfortably.
Since daylight was already peeking through the windows yet nobody appeared to be outside the storeroom,
Jasmine became curious, prompting her to shout, “Hey, wake up! Wake up, everyone!”
“What’s the matter, Jasmine…? I’m still sleepy…!” mumbled Maia as she yawned.
“Look around! There’s nobody left here but us!” said Jasmine.
Hearing that, everyone soon realized how odd that was.
“Indeed… I wonder where they went off to? There were quite a few others with us here last night but we didn’t
even hear them leaving!”
