All Chapters of The Secretly Rich Man: Chapter 2291 - Chapter 2300

Though he had accelerated the entire way, it still took Gerald four whole hours to get from the forest to the Grubb manor. Regardless, upon Gerald’s arrival at the manor at about nine that night, his return was quickly notified to Lucian who—upon learning that—instantly urged Aiden to head to the reception room. Lucian himself then jogged out the manor—together with his butler—to greet the youth… Upon seeing them, Gerald nodded before asking, “Good evening, Mr. Grubb. Have my friends arrived?” “…Friends?” replied Lucian in a confused tone as he led Gerald to the reception room. “I guess they haven’t. Either way, do prepare three guest rooms for them since they may need to stay for quite a while. Don’t worry, we’ll all leave once we’ve rescued Miss Lawrence,” said Gerald as he estimated how long it would take for Master Ghost and the others to come over. Just as he figured that they’d be here by the hour, Lucian—who finally realized how drenched Gerald was—hurriedly replied, “No

“I have indeed,” replied Gerald with a nod as he placed the ancient book—that he had guarded carefully up till this point—onto the table. Frowning slightly, Jobson then asked, “…And this is?” As the others got closer to the book as well, Gerald carefully opened it before pointing at the squiggly, worm-like words as he said, “I found this in the ancient ruins, and I believe that it contains the Seadom tribe’s knowledge on how to get to Yearning Island.” “This belongs to my family…?” muttered Fujiko as she curiously looked at it. “It should be. Though I can’t read the language, the words look similar enough to the ones in the books in your family’s secret room back in the Futaba manor,” replied Gerald with a nod. “Well, your assumption was right on the mark!” said Master Ghost after getting a good look at the book. Chuckling in response, Gerald then playfully jabbed at Master Ghost’s arm before replying, “I knew you could read it! Hurry and see if there’s any information rega

“Got it,” replied Master Ghost with a nod. “Either way, let’s put this incident aside for the moment. I’ll need some time to consider how to resolve the issue,” said Gerald as he puffed on his cigarette as well, now completely calm. Truth be told, he simply couldn’t figure out how Daryl had led the entire Crawford family to Yearning Island. After all, it was extremely difficult to even locate and get to the place! He already had everything needed to get to that island, right? Could the past Daryl have taken the same approach as him to locate Yearning Island…? But if that was the case, then Takuya would’ve surely told him about it. What more, the Futaba’s would’ve surely recorded such a major incident, but since Takuya had been so bewildered when Gerald first mentioned the topic, Gerald was sure that the record didn’t exist… Regardless, after giving a nod, Master Ghost pointed at the ancient book before replying, “Can I keep that for a while?” “What do you intend to do?” asked

“Right away!” declared the butler with a nod. Soon enough, eight of the family’s stronger men began tailing after Aiden and Gerald… Throughout the duo’s drive toward the Yanam military base, Aiden kept his fists clenched, clearly worried about Lindsay’s safety… After all, who knew whether Maddox and his men would do anything inappropriate to her… Sensing how tense Aiden was, Gerald smiled subtly before saying, “Calm yourself. Remember, our main goal today is to get a firm grasp of the situation. While it’s best if we manage to find Lindsay as well, there’s no need to be overly anxious if we can't find her yet.” Hearing that, Aiden then took a deep breath as he replied, “Got it.” “Good. Also, even if we do come across Lindsay, I need you to remain calm and listen to my commands. After all, not only are we still dealing with Yanam soldiers, but there’s also a good chance that Maddox has already set up traps for us. With that said, if you behave rashly, there’s a good chance that

“Indeed. We can set off as soon as you command us to,” replied the secretary. “Let’s head out then. The sooner we get things done, the sooner we return. I’d rather not attract too much unnecessary attention either,” muttered Maddox with a slight frown when he saw all the staff members looking at him. Once Maddox got into the leading car, it didn’t take long before they began making their way to a secluded prison… Meanwhile, Gerald—who had parked his own car in a well-hidden corner near the entrance—simply lit a cigarette when he saw the team of cars leaving. Glaring at the vehicles, Aiden then muttered, “He should be in one of them, right…?” “If you’re talking about Maddox, yes, I believe so,” replied Gerald as he took a puff of his cigarette before narrowing his eyes and starting to tail the cars at an appropriate distance… Realizing that Gerald had made a move, those from the Grubb family began taking a detour using a smaller path instead of following them from behind.
