Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1298

With how serious and fearful her voice was, Gerald could tell that Yume’s warning was the real deal.

“…Still, why did the King of Judgement Portal even come over to seek out the Gunters? Could he actually have

anticipated that I would come over?” asked Gerald rather doubtfully.

“That could be one of the reasons, though I’m honestly not too sure… I’m aware of their other objective, though.

From what I’ve heard, it seems that they’re planning to head to the Ancient Mountain in Ancient City! In case you

didn’t know, strange incidents happen on that mountain every few years!” explained Yume.

“What sort of strange incidents…?” asked Gerald curiously.

“That I’m not too sure of,” replied Yume as she shook her head.

Despite that, Gerald was slowly succeeding in piecing together more and more pieces of the puzzle.

From what Gerald now knew, there were three powerful groups hunting him down. Even though he had already

received the baptism of heaven, he knew that he still wasn’t completely out of the woods yet.

At his current strength, Gerald was well aware that he still wasn’t going to be a match against Queena, and she

wasn’t the only threat either. After all, he still had the other Gunters, the Judgement Portal, Hogan, and the King of

Judgement Portal to deal with.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized how dangerous his current situation was. After all, from the

way things had been progressing, he could get caught by any of them at any moment.

“Whatever the case is, just continue hiding in the meantime… Since I’ve already told you all this, I’m assuming I’ve

repaid all your kindness from back then! With that in mind, we’ll be enemies the next time we meet again! Until

then, take care!” said Yume as she looked one final time at Gerald before dashing off into the night.

It was a little while later when Yume snuck into the Gunter family’s manor. To her utter shock, her entire family was

seated in the spacious hall, seemingly waiting for her to return!

As everyone turned to look at her, Yume quickly realized who had planned all this.

“L-lady Gunter!” exclaimed Yume, her face reflecting her brimming anxiety.

“If I recall correctly, I’ve grounded you from leaving the manor ever since we returned from the king of the ocean’s

palace… I guess you’ve suffered a bit too much to want to sneak out that badly!” said Lady Gunter with a faint

smile. The way she said it suggested that the old lady knew exactly when Yume had snuck out earlier.

With that in mind, Yume immediately knelt with a ‘plop’ before replying, “I… I know you already know everything

that I’ve done earlier… While it’s true that I ruined your plans by meeting up with Gerald, I… I just wish to repay his

kindness… He’s honestly a kind person who’s not even remotely close to how evil you’ve described him to be! He

truly is kind, so please, Lady Gunter…! Please let him off!”

Though Yume’s eyes were now red and teary, the other Gunters simply intensified their glares after hearing what

she had to say. Lady Gunter herself looked especially enraged.

“You b*stard of a granddaughter…! It seems that it wasn’t wrong of me to worry about you! You’ve been

bewitched, you hear! None of the Crawfords are good people, especially that pretentious Gerald! He only used you

to help him look for the king of the ocean’s palace! Even after that, to think that you would actually go behind my

back and inform him about all this in secret! You truly are a textbook example of biting the hand that feeds you! Let

me remind you that you’re the indirect cause of the deaths of seven exceptional people from our family! If I hadn’t

intended to beat him at his own game, you wouldn’t be able to escape from undergoing family punishment!”

scowled the old lady, the corner of her lips twitching in rage.

While Yume now knew that Lady Gunter was aware of the seven deaths, something else her grandmother had said

sent shivers down her spine. Trembling, she then asked, “…Beat him at his own game…? Lady Gunter, what do you

mean by that?”

“Humph! Since Gerald has come to Querton City, do you honestly think that Lady Gunter will let him off that easily?”
