Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1295

“…Yume?”

‘…It really is her…! So it’s true that she wasn’t actually dead!’

Both of them had gotten acquainted with each other on their way to the king of the ocean’s palace. Gerald himself

had already saved her on multiple occasions before her eventual disappearance.

Speaking of her disappearance, Gerald had constantly been troubled and filled with self-reproach from the moment

she went missing after he fainted—due to a Dead Annie attack—at the entrance of the king of the ocean’s palace.

Upon waking, he remembered how he felt as though she had just vanished off the face of the planet.

He even went so far as to send people out to carefully search for Yume—regardless of whether she was dead or still

alive—in the area surrounding the king of the ocean’s palace for over a month, though to no avail.

It was around then when Gerald first started wondering if Yume had actually been saved by someone else. After all,

he knew that she was looking for the woman in white as well. For all he knew, she had already found the woman in

white’s corpse!

Well, his speculation of her being saved was true at least.

‘Still… Why is she even here…? She’s a Gunter too, no…?’ Gerald thought to himself, filled with questions as he

helped her regain consciousness using a secret technique.

Due to Gerald’s help, Yume’s expression turned way better in no time at all. Soon enough, Yume’s eyelids began

fluttering open ever so slowly, revealing her beautiful eyes…

When she saw Gerald, however, she immediately jolted awake. Though she was definitely shocked, she quickly

snapped out of it and grabbed onto Gerald’s arm before shouting, “There are people out to get you, Gerald! You

need to run! Quickly!”

Helping her to her feet, Gerald then turned to look at the corpses floating on the river before asking, “You mean

them?”

Staring wide-eyed at the dead bodies, Yume replied in sheer disbelief, “You… You killed all seven of them…?”

“Indeed. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but all of them are from the Gunter family, no?”

Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Yume instantly lowered her head, revealing a slight blush on her charming face.

“…They are, indeed. All seven of them are- well, were, exceptional people from my family… Still, I truly hadn’t

expected them to stalk me! After realizing who they were—before I got completely knocked out by their Dead Annie

attack—I immediately knew that they had followed me to deal with you!”

“…I see. Regardless, it seems to me that you didn’t tell me the truth about many things back then… For one, I

couldn’t detect the strange inner strength—that I’m currently sensing from you—back then… Were you simply

pretending to be weak at the time?” asked Gerald, now that he had a much clearer understanding of the situation.

“I… I admit that I lied to you before, but after getting to know you better, I’ve long lost any intentions of hurting

you!” replied Yume, looking seemingly afraid that Gerald was going to further misunderstand her.

“So you admit to it. Well, now that you have, why should I continue believing in you? After all, you’re the high and

mighty young lady of the Gunter family!” said Gerald with a bitter smile.

“Even if you choose not to believe in me, please understand that you can’t stay here any longer! I’ll eventually give

you a clearer explanation, but for now, please just follow me! We really need to hide!” replied Yume.

While Gerald felt that her eyes seemed sincere enough to be trusted, he was no longer the same person he was

two years ago. He knew for a fact that the more beautiful a woman was, the more deceptive she could be, and

Yume was extremely charming.

Since he now knew that he had already been fooled once by her, he couldn’t help but have his guard up.

Though it was true that he now sensed immense inner strength from Yume, that wasn’t what worried him most. No,

the truth was, while Gerald was sure that she wouldn’t be able to beat him with her current strength alone, he knew

he would be no match against her if she chose to attack him with Dead Annies!

With that in mind, if she was actually fooling him again, it would definitely be extremely difficult for him to retreat,

thus his hesitation to believe her.

Seemingly reading Gerald’s thoughts, Yume then said, “Look, I know you’re afraid of the Dead Annies. Here, I’m

tossing all of mine now! Since you’re capable enough to kill those seven exceptional Gunters, you should know that

without the flowers, I’m practically harmless to you! So please, please just believe me and let me stay by your

side…!”

Following that, Gerald watched as she tossed any petals she had on hand into the river.

“There, I have none on me now! With that said, know that I only asked you out since I wanted to explain all this to

you… I never expected Lady Gunter to send these people to stalk me! I… I truly never meant to harm you,

Gerald…!” explained Yume, her eyes now starting to slightly tear up.
