Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapters 1010

Finally, Caleb taps his wine glass, showing Zander to talk to Gerald.

However, Zander refused to do so. After all, no matter how much he looked at Gerald, the young man still looked like an ordinary person. Knowing that he had to beg the help of ordinary people must have caused quite a lot of distress to Zander.

As he pondered how to proceed, a loud voice sounded when a middle-aged man — who had been sitting beside Zander — slammed his wine glass onto the table.

The man then said, “I really don't understand what the motive behind the party is today, Chairman Lovewell. Who are you trying to entertain? ”

It was clear that the middle-aged man's question indirectly referred to Gerald who had been sitting in the seat of honor all along.

While the man was already upset by the fact, his frustration eventually multiplied because he knew that Zander was also trying to please Gerald.

“Huh! Today's party was held because we have successfully invited Mr Crawford!” kaleb replied with a faint smile.

“I'm sorry for my insight, but even after living for so long, I've never heard of 'Mr. Crawford's before! Huh! Understand that all of us present today have agreed to help the Lovewell family in their battle! We already have you, Master Merrett, an expert among experts! As if that wasn't enough, I, Theo Zabinski, am also part of this! Therefore, I really cannot understand why the Lovewells invited this young man here from the very beginning! ” tease Theo.

"I beg you not to be too presumptuous, Theo!" caleb's frown was now a little nervous, knowing that Gerald had heard all that.

While Zander did not say anything, it was clear he slightly agreed with Theo's statement as well.

After hearing all that, Gerald himself now looked at Caleb. As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Realizing this, Caleb just looked down apologizing before saying, “...So, the situation is like this, sir... Look, I met Zander a few years ago, and back then, I promised him that I'd help the Lovewells if they ever were in danger. In fact, the only reason I'm here now is because I want to keep that promise! Unfortunately I have to admit that the enemy is too strong for me. I'm worried that with our current strength, we won't even have a fighting chance! Frankly, are you willing to help us? ”

Upon hearing Caleb's direct request, Gerald simply replied in a somewhat cold tone, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to interfere in your dispute."

Hearing that, Zander found himself frowning as he lowered his wine glass.

Theo, on the other hand, said, “Although you said that you didn't want to interfere, the reality is that you weren't brave enough to help us, right? Come on, show us what tricks and skills you have! Better yet, fight me right now so that Chairman Lovewell can see what skills you actually have as well!”

"Not interested in fighting either" Gerald replied rather bluntly.

By then, Zander had crossed his legs. To think that he had even considered the fact that Gerald could actually be a powerful expert before!

“Wait a minute, Mister!” kaleb replied while holding onto Gerald who had just stepped down from his seat.

“I'm sorry for not telling you about all this in advance ... To properly express my apology, I've ordered someone to prepare something you need. Because you mentioned earlier that you came all the way here just to look for the holy fox .. ”

Before continuing his sentence, Caleb clapped his hands, gesturing for his subordinates to enter the room with the map in hand.

“This is here, is a trail map in Everdare Forest. Since ancient times, people have rarely been able to pass through this ancient forest. However, the ancestors of the Merrett family had once practiced in that forest. To facilitate their training, they created a map of the area. While it might not help much, I believe that it might still be useful in your search for the sacred fox. Accept, Sir..”.

“...Kaleb, isn't that the map your family used to search—“

Although Zander was now wide-eyed trying to ask something, Caleb simply raised his hand, cutting it off. It was clear that Caleb did not want Zander to keep asking his questions.

With that, Caleb then turned to look at Gerald again before repeating, "Receive, sir!"

Since he was offered a map, Gerald just walked over to retrieve it. After all, he would not reject an item that would save him half of the trouble once he actually crossed the forest.

However, before he could even get it, Theo immediately shouted, "Give it to me!"

He then reached out his hand—from his seat—and took the map from his subordinates before turning to look at Gerald and said, “So, you want this map, don't you, Mr Crawford? It's mine now! If you want it, come get it back from me! ”

Watching Theo sneer, Gerald simply waved at him before returning to his seat.

"…How is it?" ask Theo coldly.

Not giving an answer, Gerald simply used his fork to casually lift the vegetable leaves off his plate. Holding the leaf, Gerald looked at it for a while before flicking his wrist very quickly.

As a result, the vegetable leaves flew straight towards the wooden door that looked sturdy in the private room …

And make the whole door collapse the moment the leaf hits it!
