Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1225
“That’s right!” replied Aiden rather proudly.
Since the Gerald he once knew barely had any fighting capabilities, Aiden had definitely been caught by surprise by how capable and impressive Gerald now was. Regardless, after witnessing Gerald’s true strength with his very own eyes, Aiden was certain that with Gerald’s help, they would surely be able to capture the rapist easily.
If Aiden was going to be completely honest, even the most legendary of fighters in the military district weren’t worthy enough to be Gerald’s opponents at all.
“…So it really is him…?” said Maia as both she and Warren took turns shaking their heads, wry smiles on their faces.
“Is team Aiden really pulling our leg now? While it’s true that Gerald has a prominent background and he was quite a formidable figure in Mayberry City back then, I hope you realize that we’re currently dealing with the very cunning and capable Maverick! As a rich heir yourself, I’m sure you’ve had a good history with Gerald, but are you seriously expecting me to believe that the helper you invited here today is Gerald?” added Maia, sounding incredibly unconvinced.
From how excited Aiden’s tone had been when he was on the call earlier, Maia had assumed that he had managed to invite one of the legendary people from the army to help them with the case! To her astonishment, the person he was actually talking about was Gerald!
“I assure you, team Maia, that as long as my Brother Gerald is here, Maverick won’t stand a chance of escaping today!” replied Aiden.
As soon as his sentence ended, the intercoms suddenly blared to life at the same time.
“The target is swiftly approaching! Intercept him, quick! Over!”
“Roger that!”
The others had already been prepared for this, and several of them—who were carrying loaded firearms—immediately began setting up the trap!
At that moment, Maia had an extremely serious look on her face. Momentarily turning to look at Gerald, she then shook her head before saying, “I’ll have you know that the murderer this time is extremely cruel and ruthless. You’d best keep your distance from him!”
With that said, she immediately began leading her group to South Street.
Gerald himself turned to look at the highway. Maia looking down on him didn’t really make him feel anything. Her opinion on him didn’t really matter to Gerald anyway. What was important was that he was here today because he wanted to help his brother out.
Soon enough, Gerald spotted a Passat that was being driven wildly down the highway. Several other cars seemed to be chasing after it as well.
Despite how wildly the Passat was being driven, Gerald could tell from a glance that the driver was an expert at his craft. Gerald’s assumption was proven when the criminal easily got rid of the cars that were chasing after him with his excellent driving skills.
The moment they heard that, the girls immediately zipped their mouths shut.
Seeing that they were finally quiet again, Maverick returned his gaze onto the road ahead. A wry smile on his face, Maverick then laughed before saying, “It’s just a roadblock! All of you must be dreaming if you think that that’ll stop me!”
With that, Maverick began hitting on the accelerator, driving straight for the roadblock… However, at the very last second, he swerved his steering wheel to the left, causing the car to slightly drive up the mountainous slope!
With another sharp turn of his steering wheel, an ear-piercing sound from the friction—caused by the car’s wheels—caused the car to momentarily soar in the air…
Before landing again right atop the road behind the roadblocks! Hitting the accelerator once more, Maverick then continued speeding down south!
Warren and Maia were left completely dumbfounded by all this. Was the maneuver he had just pulled off even possible? A better question yet, was he actually going to be able to escape again even after being cornered like that?
As he continued looking at Maverick, Gerald couldn’t help but smile. Things were starting to get a little interesting now.
