Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1319

Regardless, Gerald hadn’t followed Leo since rushing back to King Valley was the priority.

As for the cave he had sent Leo to, it was one that was quite well-concealed. Gerald had previously come across it

while heading back to the valley alone, and since he didn’t know how far the Fairleighs would go to recapture Leo,

Gerald figured that the cave was Leo’s best bet of avoiding detection.

Of course, Gerald knew that Leo was no longer afraid of stun guns, and while Gerald didn’t really care about the

lives of the Fairleighs, if Leo simply began killing them off—and causing a massive bloodbath—then the target on

Gerald’s back would definitely grow bigger.

To put it simply, Gerald didn’t want to attract the attention of both the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal.

With that in mind, it was definitely better for Leo to remain hidden for the time being.

Regardless, he needed to hurry back to King Valley to obtain the three herbs to cure Sierra.

Just as he arrived at the familiar yard, Gerald saw a middle-aged man—who looked to be in his forties—and two of

his subordinates standing before Myles.

“Humph! Who do you even think you are, Myles? To just allow some random person into the valley… Hell, you even

went ahead and prepared a room for him!” scoffed the man.

Despite the man’s clear arrogance, Myles respectfully replied, “You may not be aware of this, Steward Sam, but

that man is me and the master of the valley’s benefactor’s disciple! He’s come to ask for medicine, which is why

I’ve allowed him to temporarily stay!”

“…What? Not only has he come over to ask for medicine, but he even used the master’s name? Why haven’t I

heard the master talk about this before then? Regardless, the King Valley isn’t a place for ordinary people to enter

all willy-nilly! Now cease this nonsense and vacate that room for me! It’s reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Cate’s son! Also,

I remind you that you’re no longer the steward of this place, Myles. You’re just a handyman in the King Valley now!

Whatever the case is, you’d better focus on serving their son and carrying out your duties properly, otherwise,

you’ll have to answer to me!” sneered Sam as he waved his hand.

While Myles had no idea who Mr. and Mrs. Cates’s son was, he soon got his answer.

As one of the guards took one step to the side, it revealed an exquisite-looking box—typically made for babies—and

in it, was a puppy! So… The ‘son’ of Mr. and Mrs. Cates was nothing more than a dog…?!

Anger flashed across Myle’s face.

He was someone who would live and die for the sake of both the King Valley as well as the master of the valley.

Despite that, not only were they now ordering him to live with a dog, but he also had to serve it?! Anyone living on

the planet would feel dejected by that!

Even so, Myles could only clench his fist, not daring to say a word.

As he turned to look at Sam again, however, the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of Gerald who had been

standing near the entrance this entire time.

Realizing that, Myles then forced on a smile before saying, “…Ah, Mr. Crawford! Where have you been? I was just

about to go look for you!”

Though Gerald had clearly seen everything that had just taken place, he simply pretended that he hadn’t and

replied, “I was just taking a stroll to have a look around.”

Clearing his throat, Myles then shook his head before saying, “…I see! Speaking of which, Mr. Crawford, I… have

something serious to attend to that I’m afraid I can’t share the details of! With that in mind, I’m sorry to say that I

can’t help you this time! In the end, I’m just a low-ranked person in King Valley and nobody takes me seriously,

though I’m sure you’ve already seen what happened earlier…”

Hearing that, Gerald knew that there was no point asking about the medicinal herbs now. After all, if even being

here was an issue, what more obtaining those rare herbs?

At that moment, Sam—who had momentarily walked off when Gerald came over earlier—returned with a bag in

hand. It was Gerald’s luggage.

The contents of the luggage bag itself weren’t anything special, at least to Gerald. Just a few books that the man

had told Gerald to hand over to the master of the valley. As far as Gerald knew, the books held records of important

information about folk remedies.

Of course, in addition to getting the herbs, it was clear that that man’s goal was to further expand his network with

new forces.

Whatever the case was, Sam snorted loudly, “What’s this, what’s this? Whose broken bag is this?”

“That’s mine,” replied Gerald as he looked at the mustached steward.

Upon hearing Gerald’s reply, Sam then tossed the bag which landed right at Gerald’s feet before shouting, “Oh, I’m

well aware! Now pick that up and leave already!”

Infuriated, the now red-faced Myles then retorted, “What is the meaning of this, Sam?! I’ve already told you that

Mr. Crawford is here on behalf of me and master’s benefactor! Treating Mr. Crawford like this… Do you not care

one bit about me at all? Let me remind you that had I not recommended you back then, you wouldn’t have been

promoted to steward today! You should know what you’ve done for me to overreact like this! Don’t step over the

line!”

“I don’t get a single word of what you just said, Myles! Not one word!” growled Sam, his expression now dark as he

took a few steps forward before stomping on Gerald’s bag!

Watching as Sam proceeded to apply extra force on his foot, just to rub it in, Myles’s breath instantly began heaving

rapidly.
