Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1372
While searching around the dense forest, the team had split into smaller groups, and Hogan himself was currently
leading a team of five people.
As they continued searching on, one of Hogan’s subordinates suddenly shouted, “There’s a person just right up
ahead, Hogan!”
Hearing that, the rest of the small group instantly dashed forward and soon enough, they were standing by that
person’s side.
While running over, they had noticed that not only was the person limping as he walked, but he also had shabby
clothes on as well as scars all over his body.
Now that they were actually beside him, however, Hogan’s eyes widened in shock as he said, “…Young… Young
Master Gunter…?”
The last anyone had heard from Felton was a few days ago after he was sent to Dordwell Heights to locate Gerald.
Nobody could even contact him up till this point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWorried sick, Yreth—who had managed to find some clues—made sure to send several people into the mountains
to look for him, though to no avail. To think that something truly did happen to Felton!
“…H-Hogan…? Oh, thank god! I’m so relieved to see you…! Please, hurry up and save me…!” said Felton as he
burst into tears the second he saw Hogan and his men.
“Rest assured, for with me here, nothing more will happen to you, Young Master Gunter. Regardless, who was it who
beat you up this badly?” asked Hogan.
“It… It was Gerald…! While I managed to track him down in the shantytown a few days ago, I hadn’t expected him
to have hired an extremely strong person to take me on! I had no way of counterattacking at all! Once I lost, Gerald
captured me and inserted a potent poison into my body! As if that wasn’t already enough, he even tortured me in
countless ways! Worst of all, he somehow managed to summon the soul of the woman in white last night! Following
that, he brought me into this dense forest… I still have no idea what he had hoped to achieve from this, but I simply
took the chance to escape when he wasn’t paying attention to me!” explained Felton.
“As expected, the master guessed correctly! So you truly were captured and locked up in the shantytown this entire
time! No wonder the Gunters were unable to gain any news about you since that day!”
Hearing that, Felton then turned to look at one of his subordinates before ordering, “You there! Go order the rest to
immediately increase the search scope within the forest! Gerald’s still somewhere in here, and we mustn’t allow
him to escape again!”
“Affirmative! I’ll also be calling someone over to send you back to the Gunter manor now!”
“I appreciate it!” replied Felton with a nod.
A little while later in the Gunter Manor, a servant swiftly ran up to Yreth before declaring, “Lady Gunter! Master
Gunter has finally returned!”
“What? Felton’s home?” replied Yreth instantaneously, feeling both surprised and delighted.
It was no secret that Yreth had constantly been worried about Felton’s safety throughout his absence. Now that she
knew that he was—at the very least—alive, her eyelids couldn’t stop twitching in her joy.
“Indeed! However, he’s also seriously injured and is currently unconscious!” said the servant.
“What? Lead me to him! Hurry!” shouted Yreth as she instantly ran out together with the servant.
Sure enough, she was immediately greeted by the sight of Felton—lying on a stretcher—the second she stepped
outside. Seeing how terribly he had been tortured, Yreth was immediately filled with deep grief.
Yume herself had heard the commotion earlier, and she was now standing beside her grandmother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Felton… How did you end up this way…? Who did this…?!” muttered Yreth, immense pain in her voice.
“We found Young Master Gunter in the dense forest in a barely alive state! As for the perpetrator, it was none other
than a subordinate that Gerald had hired! Aside from that, Gerald even inserted an extremely strange and potent
poison into his body! Gerald himself is currently on the run in the dense forest!”
“…What? So it was Gerald…!” growled Yreth in such deep resentment that her eyes turned crimson.
Following that, she then turned to look at Felton again as she held onto him protectively.
“Can you hear my voice, Felton…? Worry not, I’ll definitely capture Gerald and hack him into pieces!” said Yreth as
she gently caressed his cheek.
The second she touched him, however, Felton’s eyes immediately opened wide and he instantly kicked her hard in
the stomach!
Completely caught off-guard, Yreth found herself flying backward before landing heavily—quite a distance away—
with a loud ‘thud’!
“G-Grandma!” exclaimed Yume, feeling utterly shocked.
Felton himself was desperately screaming as he shouted, “P-please! Don’t come any closer! Please! Stay back!”
As the corner of Yreth’s mouth bled, she simply replied, “I-I’m fine…! Just go check on Felton! The poor boy must be
traumatized after being tortured so terribly…!”
