Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1027

'But... There's no way he knows who Gerald is... Except... Could he really be in Logan Province...? Wait, he might not be talking about the same Gerald!' Xavier thought in his heart.

With so many questions raging in his head, Xavia could not help but chase after Haven. He desperately needed an answer.

Fast forward two days later, Gerald finds himself in the interior of the Everdare Forest located on the border of Logan Province.

With a legacy that spanned for thousands of years, the trees within the Everdare Forest grew extremely densely over many mountains that also grew very close to each other. In addition to the wide variety of flora that can be found there, several species of predators are also known to lurk in the forest.

“Be careful when installing holes! We can't let the beast escape again with how crafty it is!” said one of the many men standing in front of the pit where the sacred fox had been cornered.

With Welson in charge of the operation, it was evident that the group consisted of Gerald and his men.

Since Caleb had given Gerald a map of the Everdare Forest, they had made double the progress with half the effort in searching for the sacred fox. After all, the map was quite detailed and having it yourself was the same as having an experienced forest navigator.

While Gerald and the others managed to find traces of the sacred fox at dawn yesterday, which made them anxious, the fox managed to escape from them.

That marked the beginning of a series of confrontations they had with the extremely cunning fox. None of them had ever anticipated how capable the sacred fox was.

After all, even after working hard to catch him the entire night, their restless efforts seemed to be of no use. Although they had faced the fox over a dozen times back then, the fox always seemed to be one step ahead of them!

However, eventually, they were finally able to trap the sacred fox within the hole that existed at the moment.

Finally getting some results, Welson is now very excited.

Gerald himself nervously said, “Don't let the beast escape again! From what I read in the Book of Beasts, the holy fox is not only very fast, but even though his body is completely white, he is also an expert in hiding himself! However, the most worrying thing is the fact that he is able to quickly see through plans and routines. Once that happened, it would easily find a way to escape! The book specifically states that his IQ is even higher than most human geniuses!”

Since Gerald had thoroughly studied the Book of Beasts the night before they started hunting foxes, he had learned everything he needed to know about the sacred fox along with the other beasts.

“The beast will show itself! Everyone, quiet!” welson orders while gesturing for the others to be quiet.

Hearing that, everyone held their breaths as they surrounded the entrance of the hole. Gerald himself could already see signs of a white tail wriggling out from within the narrow hole.

Ever since the fox entered the pit, their plan was to get it out of the other end. Because his subordinates—who had been placed at the other end—continuously fanned the smoke into the hole, the fox finally showed signs of exiting!

However, when the fox was about half a meter away from the entrance, a thick, stifling green smoke suddenly started coming out of the hole!

Since Gerald and the others had been waiting right in front of the hole, only Gerald managed to retreat and close his nose in time. Everyone there, however, ended up smoking!

A squeak could be heard immediately as everyone turned to look at the fox. It was almost as if the fox was laughing at them!

With one final scream, he dashed out of the hole at lightning speed, dashed past Gerald's men and escaped!

“Damn it! It escaped again!” yelled Welson frustrated.

"After that!" gerald orders as he quickly begins to chase the fox himself. Not wanting him to get away again, Gerald made sure to run as fast as he could.

Although Welson and the others were initially hot, eventually, they lost Gerald and the sacred fox! They could not find any traces of him at all!

“What should we do, Mr Welson? We have lost sight of him! ” says one of the subordinates.

“We will try our best to find both first! If we still can't find them, then we just need to go back to headquarters and wait for him there!” instructing Welson.

Meanwhile, the sacred fox made a mocking cry as it shot out over the forest, unlike the arrow that had just been fired.
