Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1268

“Master. Crawford! You're finally awake!" yelled Jace who seemed to have been sitting beside him all this time. Realizing that his wound had been bandaged, Gerald now knew that Jace had stabilized his condition.

“I.. Thank you, Dr. Mabb...” replied Gerald while holding onto his wound.

Recalling that he was almost killed by Tiara and the eight men, Gerald turned to look at the Smith family when he asked, "Aunt Helen ... Uncle Smith ... Are you the one who saved and brought me here ...?"

As he waited for their answer, Gerald vaguely recalled himself desperately pleading for the jade pendant to help him back then. He also recalled the sudden burst of energy emitted from his body before finally collapsing. Naturally, he did not know what happened after fainting.

“True, Gerald..So you almost scared us to death, you know? You sent the nine of them flying into the air in all directions! Feeling the opportunity to escape, we then quickly brought you back with us!” clearly Helen who was very clear was still terrified after witnessing everything that was happening today.

Afterwards, Helen explains how Tiara brought some of her men to their home shortly after Gerald left. Since Gavin, Rita, and Helen happened to be serving Lady Smith back then, the three of them ended up being kidnapped by Tiara and her men!

Eventually, all of that caused Tiara to besiege Gerald.

From what Helen tells her, Gerald concludes that Tiara must have been unable to find her at Mayberry, even after days of searching. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to do all this just to get rid of her.

Putting Tiara aside for now, Gerald began to think of the jade pendant. It turned out that the pendant was not as simple as Gerald had originally thought. After all, it had practically saved his skin earlier.

Before he could investigate further, Zack—who had also been present all this time— suddenly said in a worried tone, “You really scared us half to death before, Mr Crawford! By the time we get there to bring your unconscious body, you are completely covered in blood! ”

“I really had a near-death experience before, it must have... Anyway, where are we?” gerald asked, suddenly realizing that he was somewhere strange.

“We are currently in a villa located in the middle of the top of the Mountain. As we discuss this topic, I am happy to announce that we have successfully hollowed out the mountain! We'll soon find what you're looking for, Mr. Crawford!” report Zack.

"…I saw! That explains!”

Gerald, of course, spoke of how strongly the jade pendant reacted at that moment.

It doesn't take much to guess that a woman has just witnessed something very frightening, and not long after, that, a young nurse — who seems to be about eighteen years old — stumbles into the room while shouting in a panicked voice. , “D-dr. Mab…! The man next door was already awake, and he slowly released his steel restraints! ”

"What?!" zack shouted in disbelief before glancing at some of his men who were inside the room. Receiving the message, the guards headed straight to the next room.

“What's going on?” ask Gerald.

“That guy who tried to kill you with a dagger last night! While we were sure that he was still unconscious by the time we started moving you here, after arriving at the villa, we realized that he had been trailing us all the way here! Even though he was very weak back then, he kept muttering the sentence, 'I will save you, Mr. Crawford.!'s…!' Hearing that, we can't let Mr. Lyle just kill him. After all, we are not yet sure if he is a friend or an enemy. Therefore, we hold it with steel chain for now!” answer Helena.

“That's Chester!” gerald exclaimed as his eyelids twitched. Immediately jumping from his bed, Gerald began to rush into the next room.

As he entered, Gerald saw several bodyguards standing by the door, all of them looking somewhat dumbfounded.

Turning around to see what they all saw, Gerald saw Chester standing there, breaking the chain again empty-handed. From the looks of it, he had been tied up with at least a dozen steel chains, although many of them were already lying broken on the floor.

Although all the guards had electric batons in hand, none of them dared to step forward to attack him. It was clear that this was the first time they had seen such a powerful person.

Feeling deeply moved to see his close friend alive and kicking again, Gerald yelled, “Chester.!”.

Hearing that familiar voice, Chester's body began to tremble slightly as he raised his head to see if it really was Gerald. After getting that confirmation, Chester called very slowly, “M...Master...Crawford...!”.

The way he speaks is reminiscent of a toddler who has not been able to speak clearly. However, Gerald knew that Chester was fully aware of the look in his eyes. He really had no idea what method was used to revive Chester.

"Yes, it's me, Chester!" gerald replied as he looked straight into his brother's eyes.

Chester had dealt a deadly blow to Gerald back then to save his brother, and Gerald had always felt guilty about it. Regardless of what Chester is like now, Gerald can't help but feel good about seeing him alive…
