Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1175
Following that, Gerald swiftly headed off to save Lord Fenderson and the others. They had been captured as well
since Hendrik had planned to torture them if Gerald still refused to surrender the ancient witchcraft techniques
after a while.
Thankfully, Hendrik hadn’t personally done too much to them.
However, though Lord Fenderson’s illness had been cured, all the fatigue, fear, and torture the ninety-year-old man
had to go through had taken a clear toll on him. By the time they were all freed, Gerald found that Lord Fenderson
had already been comatose for a while.
As all of them began leaving the manor, a tired and exhausted Joshua couldn’t help but ask, “…Speaking of which,
senior… Are you leaving again after this…? If you are, where are you headed to next…?”
“I’ll be seeking out Master Ghost. I simply cannot continue staying on Montholm Island anymore! Worry not, I’ll
make sure to order a few of my family’s guards to safely escort all of you back to the Salford Province,” replied

Queena was still too strong for him to take on right now. If he didn’t make a quick escape while he could, she could
easily trap him for all of eternity. Should he allow that to happen, he knew he wouldn’t ever get the chance to
continue searching for Mila and his second uncle ever again.
To avoid that, Gerald needed to get out of this place immediately…
“…Senior, I…”
While Joshua was tempted to tell Gerald that he wanted to come along, after giving it some thought, he felt that he
would only end up becoming a burden to Gerald, which was why he refrained from completing his sentence.
Patting Joshua on the shoulder, Gerald then said, “I know what you wanted to say, but you have an important job
too, you know? Lord Fenderson and Mindy are in dire need of your treatment, after all. As for Jasmine… I’ll find a
way to free her sooner or later. Regardless, all of you need to leave first. If I’m able to make it past this tragedy in
one piece, I’ll definitely be sure to make some time to come over and cure Mindy and Lord Fenderson with you!”
Hearing that, Joshua simply nodded before saying, “…Alright then. You take care in everything that you do too,
senior!”
“I will! This is goodbye for now then! Take care!” replied Gerald before turning around and swiftly heading into the
jungle. In a blink of an eye, Gerald had already disappeared from Joshua’s sight.
Meanwhile, Jasmine was pouring a cup of ginseng tea back at the Yonwick Manor. Once she was done, she placed it
on a table in the living room before turning to look at the bed. Sitting on it, was a calmly meditating Queena who
had both her eyes closed.
While Queena truly had planned to kill Jasmine in the beginning, after spending some time with her and listening to
what Jasmine had to say, Queena was now starting to grow fond of the girl.
Though she didn’t say much, Queena truly hoped that Jasmine would remain by her side in the long run. Simply
being able to chat with Jasmine when Queena was down or when she was facing a difficult period was enough for
her.
As for Jasmine, she simply couldn’t help but feel sympathetic toward Queena. While she was well aware that
Queena wasn’t a good person, with both of them being women, Jasmine could completely understand the pain of
loving someone yet not being able to be together with said person.
After all, she felt the same way with Gerald.

As Jasmine was thinking about this, Queena—who had been sitting cross-legged the entire time—suddenly opened
her eyes before standing up abruptly while shouting, “…No! He’s escaped!”
“…Come again? Who’s escaped?” asked Jasmine.
“Who else? I’m talking about Gerald, of course!” replied Queena as a confused expression showed on her face.
She had already sealed off all his meridians… How was he able to get rid of the Holy Witchcraft without his inner
strength? Thinking about it now, she realized that she had seriously underestimated him.
‘While you keep denying that you aren’t him, your cunningness is on par with his!’ Queena thought to herself.
Upon hearing that, Jasmine immediately felt like a heavy burden had just been lifted off her heart.
Seeing that, Queena turned to look at Jasmine with a triumphant smile before saying, “It’s best that you don’t get
too happy yet! He’s not slipping out of my fingers that easily! Not this time! I’m holding onto him firmly by my side
till the day he finally becomes my man!”
After saying that, she immediately stepped out of the room, and just like that, she was gone.
Gerald himself—who was proficient in making escapes underwater—was already leaving the island with the help of
the water repellent stone.
