Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1016

Struggling with everything he could, Xavia managed to break free for a moment. Immediately after, he took out a dagger out of nowhere!

“Don't move one step closer! My people are near you! The way you say it, I assume that you have been following me for quite some time now! ” warns Xavia as she swings the dagger.

“Please trust us, Miss Xavia. Our boss is really interested to cooperate with you! In addition, you will also get something else in return!” the stranger said maliciously as he casually started walking towards her.

As Xavia's panic peaked, he heard a kind of whisper that said, "Throw a dagger!"

Although it seemed like no one else had heard of it, Xavia felt compelled to obey the order. As a result, he immediately threw a dagger at the stranger!

The stranger himself had laughed while shaking his head before he threw it. By the time the dagger left his hand, he half way said, “Nona Xavia, stop swinging that thing! That's a bit rough of you, you know-“

His sentence was cut off when the dagger was—which he was sure he could easily avoid given its distance still far from him as he spoke— suddenly accelerated and pierced the side of his stomach!

It was a prick so clean that the dagger kept moving until it collided with the tree!

Grunting loudly as he refrained from releasing a shout, the stranger's eyes turned cold as his side continued to bleed profusely.

As he kneeled on the ground, suppressing the wound he had just sustained, the other strangers finally caught up to what they had just witnessed. As a result, they were all now feeling increasingly nervous.

“M-backward! Back up soon!” shouted their leader as his subordinates carried him away in a hurry.

Xavia himself was now panting. Both of them were frightened and confused, his eyes fixated on the dagger he had just thrown.

“...Who... Who are you? I know someone helped me! Thank you for saving me!” shouted Xavia with respect. He could not recognize the sound from before because Gerald had used his voice-changing device.

“...I'm sure someone has helped me.. But who is it.?” muttered Xavia to himself, curious.

He was so sure that someone had saved him because, for example, no one else could hear the voice. Second, there was no way he could throw such a powerful dagger. Someone else must have pulled the rope in secret.

But who might? If it was someone from the Long family, then they had no reason not to reveal themselves...

As he pondered, one of his guards suddenly came running before saying, “This is it, miss! Teacher just called and asked us if there was any progress in our cooperation with Lovewells.”.

"I understand. Come back first!” xavia replied while nodding her head somewhat reluctantly.

Shortly thereafter, night fell and by then, cars belonging to all members of the Lovewell family were seen parked outside the Lovewell Manor.

As Zander, Theo, and Caleb waited respectfully inside the manor, a— girl who had been staring at the three men from afar— stopped a servant walking past her before asking, “There is a big event what? Did my dad do anything?”

“I'm also not too sure about what happened, Miss! All I know is that his master is waiting for some people! ”

“Any... She hid a little from us recently..What a mystery!”.

The girl in question was none other than Haven Lovewell, and just as she was about to ask something else, her family's bodyguard troops appeared and started walking out the front door.

Since he was used to seeing scenes like this, he didn't say anything about it. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that one of the people in the group was not wearing the same clothes as the other bodyguards.

Squinting her eyes to get a better look, they immediately widened a few seconds later as she muttered, “...Huh huh? G-Gerald?”
