Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1041

Upon saving Xavia after waking from his brief coma, Gerald had immediately ordered Welson and his men to rush

over. Gerald also told him to utilize the Soul Palace’s skynet technique which was the fastest way for them to trap all

the Moldells within their home once the fire started. Gerald wasn’t taking any chances of any of them leaving alive.

“While a few people have managed to slip through us, we can roughly estimate all of their current locations, young

master,” reported Welson.

“Excellent. Be sure to hunt down every last one of them. I want them to experience what true despair feels like…”

replied Gerald, his body drenched in fresh blood as he turned to look at the burning manor. Watching the flames,

Gerald couldn’t help but curl his lips into a malicious smirk.

It was at that moment when Welson’s heart skipped a beat.

‘…Since the young master consumed the holy blood, he should, by right, be able to control his temperament with

ease… So why do I still feel that something is off about the young master…? The aura he’s currently emitting

feels… different from what he usually has… How terrifying!’

Welson’s train of thought was cut short by Xavia’s screams of fear that pierced the night sky as the inferno

continued burning all night long…

Since winter had just ended in the Logan Province, the weather was freezing when morning finally came.

“Here, Mr. Yuvan… Have some water…” said Yash as he handed the severely injured Yuvan a bottle of water along

with a sleeping bag.

The pale-faced Yuvan himself was now too weak to even argue.

Yuvan and his men had been on the run throughout the night. As if having all means of their communication being

cut off wasn’t bad enough, there had been an incomprehensible lack of cars within the Logan Province that night as

well. That was a problem for them since they had initially planned to hail a car in hopes of getting a ride away from

this forsaken place.

Eventually, they finally came across an expensive-looking luxury car and the moment Yash saw it, he immediately

attempted to stop it in its tracks.

They were in dire need of shelter, anyplace to take cover while awaiting the family head to return.

To everyone’s surprise, the person who stepped out of the car was Xavia!

“So it’s you, Miss Yorke! How wonderful! The second young master is severely injured so please hurry and take us

someplace safe!” said Yash as he looked at the slightly pale woman.

“…I… I apologize, but that would be slightly inconvenient for me…” replied Xavia.

“…Come again?”

As Yash was left stupefied, the droning of several helicopters caught his attention. Looking up, over ten helicopters

were hovering above them!

“There’s a restaurant not too far ahead… You may seek refuge there…” said Xavia as she secretly handed them

some money before re-entering her car and immediately driving off to the restaurant without them.

“…So they’re just trying to torture us to death, huh? If I had earlier known about their plans, my dad and I would’ve

definitely exterminated the Crawfords a long time ago…” growled Yuvan who was so pissed at this point that he

ended up vomiting a bit of blood.

“Please refrain from talking too much, second young master… Let’s just head to the restaurant first… Your body is

in dire need of nourishment… I’ll bandage your wounds as well once we’re there…” replied Yash.

Before long, all of them arrived at the restaurant Xavia had told them about.

Xavia herself—alongside several of her subordinates—were already inside by the time they entered. This time,

however, she didn’t seem to even dare to speak with any of the Moldells anymore.

“Let’s have a quick meal while we can… Looking at the time, the family head should be reaching the Logan

Province soon. After successfully enduring through all this pain, we’ll surely be saved!” said Yash as the other

Moldells agreed and immediately began dining on whatever food they could get their hands on.

As they continued eating like their lives depended on it, the restaurant’s door swung open again sometime later.

When the Moldells saw the group of people who had just entered, several of them instantly began trembling. Some

of them were so terrified that they didn’t even dare to swallow the food in their mouths.

“Please take a seat, young master…” said one of the subordinates from the group that had just entered.

After the subordinate pulled a chair out for him, Gerald took a seat as Xavia—who had been sitting close by—turned

to look at him.

Though her eyes were teary, her lips remained sealed tight.

The Gerald sitting before her now was no longer the same person she used to know. After going through immense

change, he now resembled a master. A filthy rich master who only knew how to do things cruelly.

It truly was ironic since back when she was still Gerald’s lover, she had often fantasized about Gerald getting rich

one day. She had yearned for the day when he would suddenly gain near-endless wealth, enabling him to do

whatever he pleased.

‘He’s no longer a humble and inferior loser… But… Though he’s turned out exactly as I’ve always wanted him to

be… Why am I feeling more afraid than anything…?’
