Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2001

Regardless, Gerald found himself momentarily stunned by the woman's beauty. To think that there would be someone this charming in the Autremonde Realm... What more, just about anyone could tell that she was an extremely extraordinary woman....

Either way, once all the representatives of the major sects arrived, a simple opening ceremony was held before they were allowed to return to their respective rooms to rest...

Gerald himself was sharing a room with Yalinda since they were both representing the Juans Delivery House...

Fast forward to that night, a few black figures could be seen leaping across the rooftops of Gardale City... From the looks of it, they were headed for Yudell's room.

Thankfully, before they were able to get too close to her, Gerald noticed their presence. Since they were heading in the direction of Yudell's room so sneakily, Gerald immediately had a hunch that these were bad people.

Knowing that Yudell could possibly be in danger, he quickly left his room and headed toward her room as well to investigate.

Meanwhile at Yudell's room, her two attendants could be seen standing at the door. Though they were sent over by the Thundering Cloud Sect to protect her, the dark of night would soon cost them their lives since they were unable to react in time to the two knives that flew toward them at that moment!

Getting stabbed right in their chests, the two of them promptly slid to the floor, dead... Naturally, Yudell heard this, and she immediately drew her blade before glaring intently at her room's door. Due to all the footsteps outside, she knew that they were here for trouble.

At that moment, a barely audible 'thud' could be heard above her, prompting Yudell to look up... only to see Gerald there waving at her from the open roof!

"Come with me, hurry...! Those men out there are after you!" whispered Gerald, prompting Yudell to look at the door again.

Hearing the footsteps slowly inching toward her door, Yudell knew she didn't really have much of a choice but to leap up the roof and hide with Gerald...

Thankfully, she managed to do so just in time before the door to her room was opened.

Following that, the few black figures rushed into the room, hoping to deal with Yudell. To their dismay, she was nowhere to be seen!

"She's not here, leader! What should we do now?" asked one of the black figures.

"This lucky b*tch...! It seems that we've been discovered! No matter! Let's head off for now!" scoffed what appeared to be the leader as he snorted before leading his men away...

Once they were gone, Gerald and Yudell leaped back into the room... Looking at her, Gerald was prompted to ask, "So... Who exactly were they? And why were they looking for you in the first place?" Ignoring his question, Yudell simply walked out the room... and when she saw that her two attendants were dead, she couldn't help but frown.

After a short while, she turned to look at Gerald before asking, "... Who are you? And how did you know they were coming after me?"

It was at that moment when Gerald came to realize something. While Yudell looked even more beautiful up close, Gerald was more stunned by the fact that her aura was extremely similar to Yalinda's...
