Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 911
Night came soon enough and it was now quite late.
However, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of a massive explosion! Present members of the
Schuyler family were left stunned as they watched flames erupting from where their warehouse was located.
“What the hell is going on?” shouted Noah who had felt the tremor of the explosion alongside Berk and a few
others. All of them had been seated in the Schuyler family’s large conference hall when the explosion took place.
“Master, something’s gone terribly wrong! Our warehouse just exploded in flames!” announced a butler as he burst
into the room where the stunned men were in.
“What?!” replied Noah as he felt his lips twitch slightly.
He had reason to be as furious as he currently was. After all, throughout the years, the Schuylers hadn’t used their
warehouse to store unimportant things. On the contrary, most of their important information and documents were
stored there!
“Who is responsible for this?! Who dares do something like this to the Schuyler family?!” roared Noah in rage.
“I-I’ve already sent people over to investigate!” replied the butler instantaneously.
“That’s good! We must catch the perpetrators if it’s the last thing we do!” growled Noah as he immediately led the
group of people out of the conference hall.
As all that was happening, around ten figures could be seen swiftly making their way through the forests located
near the Schuyler family’s mansion. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at a few tents that had been pitched
rather deep in the forest.

“Excellent work. Your mission is now accomplished. From here on out, we’ll just have to wait and see what Mr.
Crawford will do next,” replied Quest as he slid out of the tent before nodding.
“Speaking of Mr. Crawford, send the second team out. Tell them to be ready to provide help should Mr. Crawford or
any of the other escapees require it,” ordered Quest.
The once arrogant youth was no longer disrespectful toward Gerald after previously witnessing his true capabilities.
In fact, he now respected him greatly. After all, Gerald had tasked him with doing something extremely chaotic, and
chaos was something Quest enjoyed creating. Aside from creating trouble, Quest was also responsible for providing
aid to Gerald whenever he needed it.
Their plan was currently running quite smoothly since Gerald had given Quest prior instructions from within the
hidden room earlier. Even the location of the base camp they were currently in had been selected by Gerald. After
all, he had ordered the two Schuyler subordinates—who were now dead—to detail the landscape surrounding the
Schuyler family’s mansion back then.
After the tents were pitched, Gerald’s next order was for Quest to send people into the Schuyler’s mansion to start
a fire. That wasn’t a problem for Quest either. Now that he had sent the second team over to watch over Gerald’s
escape, all Quest had to do was wait for Gerald’s safe return.
“What was that sound, Jasmine? Did you feel that tremor? It’s so dark outside too! I can’t see anything!” said Mindy.
“I have no idea either though it’s safe to assume that there was an explosion… However, since things sound rather
chaotic outside right now, I think that’ll actually work in our favor. I say we attempt our escape now! As far as we
know, grandpa could have been the one who arranged for that explosion to take place! Let’s not waste this
chance!” replied Jasmine as all those involved with the escape plan nodded in unison.
After making sure that everyone involved was ready, they silently pried open the door—that had earlier been pick
locked—before making a dash for the exit following the paths that they had earlier planned out.
Though they crossed paths with a few subordinates down the corridor, they were barely an issue for Jasmine as she
swiftly knocked them out.
Since the electricity had gone out as well, they had the element of surprise on their side. The chaos outside had
drawn most of the subordinates away from the corridors as well, allowing them to rush out of the building without
too much trouble.
With the vanguard now out of sight, the remaining captives—who were peeking at the escape group’s progress this
entire time from the hidden room’s entrance—said, “It seems that they’ve made it out just fine!”
Hearing that, Mindy gave a sigh of relief. Contrary to what had initially been planned, Mindy ended up staying in the
room, fearing that she would just end up becoming a burden as they made their escape.
“What should we do now, Stella? Isabelle…? It still seems to be rather chaotic out there… Should we use this
chance to make our own escape?” asked Mindy anxiously.
At that moment, she felt someone grabbing onto her hand. Turning to look at who was responsible, Mindy’s worries
instantly dissolved when she saw that it was Sanderson.
“Sanderson? Didn’t you rush out together with Jasmine and the others earlier?”
Shaking his head, Gerald then gestured for her to tell the others to make a mass escape while things were still
going haywire outside.
“Will we be able to make it out safely? We don’t even know if Jasmine and the others have truly made it out yet…”

In response, Gerald gestured for her not to be worried since he was there for her.
“…Alright, then let’s all rush out together. Everyone! We should use this chance to make a run for the mansion’s
back door!” shouted Mindy.
“She’s right! With it being pitch dark outside, they won’t dare to use their guns either! Let’s go!”
With everyone there now in agreement, the group consisting of well over thirty people began getting into position
to make their escape as Gerald slowly pushed the door open.
However, before they could even leave the room, a gunshot was heard!
“Where the hell do all of you think you’re going?!” shouted a voice that startled several of the people.
Shadows could be seen sprinting toward the hidden room’s entrance as six bodyguards holding industrial flashlights
came running over.
As Gerald stepped away from the door, all of the guards—who were also wielding guns—entered the room, blocking
their only escape route.
Glaring viciously at everyone in the room, it was no wonder why a few women instantly began screaming in fear.
“W-what should we do, Sanderson? They have guns with them…” whispered Mindy in fright as she hid behind him
while tugging on to his sleeve.
“If you want to live, then stay far away from the entrance!” growled one of the guards as they began walking
toward the group intimidatingly.
Gerald’s next action was so rapid that nobody even saw it happening.
