Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1043

“I-That's right! Gerald being really terrible!” the young man shouted, clearly scared to death.

“...That's.. That b star ! This is the year of advertising! How could he gather that much strength in such a short amount of time?! After all, the Crawford family would definitely pay a heavy price for this! Where's Yuvan?!” raung Kort as he trembled in his overwhelming anger.

"Second master!" shouted a subordinate as he staggered.

"I. I found them. I found the bodies of the second young master and the butler of Moldell!" announce subordinates among the pants.

"What?!" kort cried out in pain with a voice so loud that his cry could probably be heard echoing throughout Logan Province.

…

Meanwhile, Dylan was in the main living room within the Crawford manor on Northbay.

Feeling the urge to frown suddenly, he muttered, “....Could something happen…? I feel very confused for some time now.. I just feel as if something is going to happen!”.

“What can happen? In my view, you just feel that because of all the pressure you've accumulated since Gerald's disappearance.” Yulia replied in a sad tone as she walked towards him, feeling sorry for her husband.

Sighing, Dylan then said, “To think that a year has passed since then.. If everything goes according to plan, then Gerald will marry Lyra this year! Everything went so well in the beginning! Everything is destroyed now.”.

As she looked at her sorrowful eyes, Yulia replied, “Omong-by the way about Lyra... Hasn't she been acting a bit strange since she returned from the event in Salford Province about half a year ago? I remember Bea went with her back then, and she acted just as strangely as Lyra! From what I see, the two girls seem to enjoy being with each other, often sharing secrets with each other and laughing from time to time. Every time I ask them the topic of their conversation, they just say that it is nothing!”

“Now after you mentioned it.. I remember before attending the event, they both cried quite often. From what the servants told me, Lyra would hide in her room to cry whenever she had no other task to do. That explains why her eyes were always red every time I saw her back then.”.

"really? They changed slightly after returning from the auction! We've been with Lyra for a long time and even though she never really lived with Gerald, I'm sure you can agree that she loves her very much. Bea loved her as a cousin too. Therefore, it does not make sense if the two of them suddenly change—even if it becomes better—after attending an event!” added Yulia.

With that said, he ordered his servant to call the two girls.

"Mama? Daddy's? You looking for us?” lyra asked with a smile as soon as the two of them stood in front of Gerald's parents.

“Yes, this is about the auction that you two attended in Salford Province about half a year ago, I've just been busy with the investigation team so I don't 'don't have time to properly ask about it! Anyway, I remember you two went there to buy the Ginseng King? Also, when we do, is there anything else going on while you're there? ” asked Dylan in return.

“...A-ah.. About the King of Ginseng..” Lyra replied while instantly blushing.

Back then, Gerald had won against the other bidders. As a result, he was the rightful owner of the Ginseng King. However, Gerald has made Lyra and Bea promise not to tell anyone that they have met him there for fear that uncovering his whereabouts will burden his family.

Lyra kept her promise because she was well aware that what Gerald said to her made sense. He understood that Gerald's parents would definitely not be able to resist the urge to double their search efforts for him once they found out that he was safe. If one of the Moldells finds out about the news, the Moldells will probably enter high gear as well, further putting Gerald's life at risk.

“...While we managed to buy it, it was finally stolen!” bea replied quickly, knowing full well that Lyra is a bad liar.

"…I understand. Did you happen to meet someone else there? ” asked Dylan with a frown.

“A-ah... Not at all!” lyra replied while shaking her head.

At that moment, the butler approached the group before saying, “Pardon my interruption, Sir, but Mr. Parker Moldell has just arrived with his investigation team. They are waiting at the door.”

"…Oh? All right hurry and invite them in, ” Dylan replied as he stood up immediately.

Due to Parker's secret aid, the Crawford family hasn't experienced too much pressure from Kort in the past year. Therefore, Dylan treated the man with enough respect.
