Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 610
Just as Gerald felt like he had already hit rock bottom, he felt a chill run down his spine as a hand was placed on his shoulder.
When he turned around, he saw a man with hair as long as a woman’s standing right behind him. Gerald felt almost pressured by the man’s immense intimidation alone.
“Step aside! What are all of you doing here?” shouted an old voice out of the blue.
“What are we doing here? What are you doing here old man? Stop shoving others around!”
The crowd then began scolding the person who had first shouted.
“I’m here to look for my grandson! You’re all just standing in the way!” sneered the owner of the old voice as he squeezed himself into the room.
Seeing how shabbily he was dressed, the people in the room hurriedly opened a path for him as they tried to avoid him like the plague.
The long-haired man on the other hand, simply glared coldly at the old man as he retracted his hand.
“What are you doing? Let go of my grandson!” growled the old man as he stepped forward and shoved Melissa to the side.
Gerald could hardly believe his eyes. It was the old beggar that kept pestering him.
“He’s your grandson?” asked Melissa, stunned.
“Humph! What, don’t we look alike? My grandson, I went looking for you today but that group of people said that you weren’t there! I thought you had abandoned me and headed for the Salford Province alone! I’m glad you’re still here, now let’s go!”
The old man wasn’t even going to bother asking about the details of the incident Gerald had found himself in. He simply grabbed Gerald’s arm and began to pull him out of the room.
“Who said you could leave!” growled the long-haired man, his eyes both frigid and ferocious as he immediately tried to grab Gerald’s other arm.
His attempt, however, was blocked when the old man grabbed onto his wrist. After the old man lifted his hand away from Gerald’s arm, the long-haired man instantly retreated backward, his back hitting the wall.
At that moment, the long-haired youth started sweating profusely. All he could do was stare at the old man in shock.
Gerald knew that his only way of escaping at that moment, was by relying on that old man. Thus, he simply remained silent as the old man led him to the exit.
“Are you alright, my grandson?” asked the old man with a smile. They were now standing beside a riverbank in a park.
“I’m fine. Thank you, sir,” replied Gerald, his voice filled with gratitude.
If the old man hadn’t appeared earlier, Gerald would probably still be there trying to explain himself. It was pretty clear that he wasn’t going to be able to leave easily.
Despite feeling grateful, Gerald was feeling equally as confused.
