The Invisible Man is Rich

The Invisible Man is Rich
Chapter 1



Wall clock in the dormitory


shows at nine o'clock


when suddenly I heard a scream, "


Gerald, please get down to the first floor in


dorm 101 and get me my laptop!"


A blonde-haired resident


the dormitory next door opened the door


Gerald suddenly, threw money


a dollar to the floor and then turned away.


"Oh, yeah, one more, buy me some water


minerals in the supermarket"


The blonde came back again and


throw three dollars on the floor. Two bucks


to buy mineral water, a dollar


for Gerald's wages.


"Hey, Blondie! Why is everyone in


your dorm always told Gerald


doing this-that? Why you guys


so sucks?"


Gerald's dorm friend asked


cold because of them


I can't stand to see Gerald anymore


downtrodden.


"You live in a dorm with Gerald,


but you still don't understand? Hey, um, hey,


hear me! if you give him a dollar,


he would even be willing to eat


shit if you tell me!" Blondie laughs


satisfied and leave them.


Gerald was only able to hide


shame and trying not to listen


blondie. He then picked up


dollar sheets scattered on the floor


then he said in his heart, "with two


this dollar is enough to buy three


steamed bread and a bag of pickles. I didn't


I'll starve again."


"Gerald. don't go! If you don't


we have enough money we can


borrow you, you don't even have to


return it," said the hostel's chairman


nor do they see the conditions


Gerald shook his head


smile and say, "thank you, man,


but I'm fine.."


Afterwards, Gerald left immediately


dormitory to carry out the duties of


Blondie“s. His dorm friends only


I can look at him with compassion. 1


Gerald didn't really want to


be a slave to others and want to be


living a college life like


normal student. Would be very


it is fun to be free to learn


without worrying about anything,


thought.


Unfortunately, Gerald was not a rich man.


Even though his roommates


treated him well, but he


not wanting to be pitied. Gerald is just


they worry they will be lazy to make friends


with him. They are just friends who


he has it on campus. He's out soon


to carry out Blondie's orders.


Hey, Geraiu, taur Diunuie vnamg nad


going down, huh?"


This time, a man dressed


get out of the dorm next door. Her name


Danny Xanders, the head of the Blondie House.


Not only was he rich, his face was handsome.


No wonder he became an idol


student on campus.


Unfortunately, it is not much different from Si


Blondie, Danny's always looking


low Gerald. Gerald wondered why


Danny called him, he replied, "


yeah, I'm going downstairs".


Danny smiled a little and gave it to him


a box of stuff, "a friend of mine will


waiting in the eastern forest. Give me the box


this is him, and this is ten dollars


for you." Danny is a


playboy and everybody knows him


often bring a different girl


to meet in the woods near the campus.


Gerald won't bother about anything


that's because he's used to it


take orders from the occupants


dormitories.


He received a box and ten dollars


the one Danny handed over and headed


ladders. When turning around, Gerald


I heard Danny's laughter at


backside.


Gerald got to the first floor, took


laptop, then buy mineral water before


then we will drop the box


Danny's. A small forest outside the campus


it is used to being a place


young couples meet at


nightfall.


Gerald arrived at the place


mentioned Danny. He saw a pair


the women sit among the trees,


they talked and laughed familiarly.


How shocked Gerald was to see


their faces under the light


moons.


Gerald was dumbfounded


It's Xavia!


His eyes are heating up and the box is


he fell to the ground.


Xavia is Gerald's ex-girlfriend and


they just broke up three days ago.


Of course, Kavia ended


their relationship.


When Xavia broke up


with Gerald, he reasoned that he wanted to


alone first. But the truth is, new


three days and now he's with a man


another in the woods!


The couple then realized the presence


Gerald and their facial expressions


momentarily changed. "Gerald.for what


you here? You.you're not wrong.


understand, I'm here with Yuri


cause..." Xavia began to panic and be embarrassed.


He lowered his head and did not want to


looking Gerald.


the son of a rich man of second descent. la


look at the dropped box


Gerald and suddenly laughed.


"Ahahahhaa shit! Danny really


know how to fool people. I


ask him to deliver the box


and I didn't expect it to turn out he was


sending you. Ah this is really


delightful. Really


it's exciting!"


Gerald knows that Yuri is a friend


near Danny. His family has


some restaurants and he got used to it


bringing its BMW 3 series to campus.


Gerald can only clench


his hand heard Yuri. la


know now, Danny did it on purpose


these. Plus, he's getting suspicious that


Danny was behind the reason for the breakup


relationship with Xavia. If not, then,


how could Xavia be with Yuri


just a few days after them


"Xavia, I know you're not anymore


love me, but you shouldn't


with a guy like him after us


breakup. You know how many women


the one she dated before thisil!?" Gerald


could not help his scream.


Gerald loved Xavia very much. Hugely.


Xavia felt extremely anxious and annoyed


after hearing Gerald's words. "


Gerald, who do you think you are?! Ye


I have no right to teach you,


rule my life, or define me


what should. We broke up and I


free to decide to be together


with whoever I want!"


staring at Gerald sharply, "what are you


just came here to make me


disgusted? Go you!"


Plaque!


Xavia landed a hard slap into


cheeks Gerald.


Yuri laughed even more satisfied, "Hahaha!


Dear Xavia, why did you tell


she went. You should have just let it go


he's here and he's seen us!"


Xavia's face flushed, "Yuri, my mood


it's messy seeing him here, already,


maybe next time.." Xavia ago


releasing the embrace of Yuri.


Gerald doesn't know what else to do


what, he walked away from the woods.


His mind is really messy.


All because of money. He's bullied


just because he's poor!


Ahaha!"


Arriving in the hallway, Gerald


greeted with a shitty laugh


his classmates. Danny certainly is


just there with a holding


stomach holding laughter. Yeah, Danny


tell a classmate about


Ahaha! Hey, Gerald, what are you


find it when you deliver the box


Danny's custody?" Blondie asked


scornful smile.


"Ah, of course! Xavia was right


right perfect girl," timpal


Danny grinned.


Gerald clenched his fists with


her eyes were very red and her eyes were very tight


at present. He really wants to


kill Danny!


"Why? Why are you doing this


me?" Gerald hissed with restraint


fury.


Danny laughed and replied, "


Hey, here look at me. I'm not at all


be afraid!


Of all the poor in our class,


you are the worst. Xavia is a girl


perfect and just a waste


the time when he should be with you. Yep, yeah,


it would be much better if he


have fun with my brother


at least for a few days."


"And by the way, Gerald.


Did you know Yuri succeeded


pick up Xavia less than half


hours after he sent her a message,


while you need more time than


a year until he finally wants to be


your boyfriend?"


Everyone laughed and didn't


care about Gerald's self-esteem.


The insolent! Feel this!"


Gerald tried to beat Danny, but


he was attacked by friends


Danny's. Fortunately, a few moments


then Gerald's friends soon


come and bring him back


In the room, Gerald covered his face


with a blanket and kept sobbing on top


the bed.


"Why are they so cruel and


trample on my pride? Wh why?


Do they think I'm heartless


just because I'm poor? Am I not


the man in front of them?"


Gerald's still trying to calm down


himself while tears on his cheeks


it's still flowing. He really


can't forget all that


watched it tonight. He doesn't know


how long he's been curled up downstairs


blanket until he finally fell asleep.


maybe because it was night


very dark and silent, Gerald fell asleep


good night that night.


When I woke up the next morning,


Gerald didn't find anyone in


dormitories. Gerald knows for sure the hostel's head


intentionally not waking him up,


let him rest in the dorm


after last night's incident. When Gerald


opening his phone, he found


lots of incoming messages and no calls


answered there. And surprisingly, the,


all are foreign numbers.


Gerald also found a message


saying that someone has


transfer some money to


the account!


"[Daxtonville Bank]. Your account balance


the number XXXXXXX107 is


amount USD 1,500,000.00."


Gerald was surprised to see the number of barrage


numbers on his phone screen. Huh!! One million


five hundred grand? Who is


send him that much money? Gerald


hurry to contact the bank


to be sure and increasingly confused


after receiving confirmation from


them.


A moment later his phone rang.


A foreign number with a country code


different ones. Gerald's soon


hoisted it.


"Gerald, you've received that money


i transfer? It's me, brother


your woman!" I heard a voice


no stranger from across.


"Sir, what's going on? What the hell's going on?


Aren't you and mommy struggling


hard to find money there?


Where did you get as much money


that?"


Gerald still couldn't help feeling


surprised.


"Eumm.. Dad actually intended


hiding the reality


actually, to you for two years


fore. But I can't bear to know


you're there under siege because you're poor.


That's why I'm telling you more


early on. Our family is actually very


wealthy. The Crawford family owns the industry


a very large and widespread business


various countries. You know, eighty


percent of gold, mineral, and


petroleum in Africa is family owned


we're..."


this does not include the industry in


Daxtonville and other countries"


Whahuh?


Gerald gulped. If one and a half


million dollars were not in his account at the time


this maybe he won't believe.


Her sister must really be


delirious!


"I know this is hard to believe. But you


you have to try to accept this reality,


Gerald. I was also raised in the beginning


the neighborhood is short but


slowly, I began to get used to it


with a luxurious lifestyle. Oh yeah, I


also sent you something. Ought


the courier's taken her to your dorm


this morning. Now you don't have to get dizzy


again about money."


"I don't know much about living expenses


in Daxtonville right now, but you don't have to


apprehensive. Just use one and a half


the million dollars I sent. I'm gonna


call you again next month."


After hanging up, Gerald was still


dumbfounded in disbelief.


He always lived as a poor man


all this time. But...


Is he really a rich kid?
