Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 596

"As for my final request, it too, is quite simple. All you need to do is to teach a certain person a good lesson by forcing him to close down his shop permanently. Besides, he's quite a terrible person so you're no exactly being placed in a difficult situation either!" said Xavia.

"And who exactly is this person?" asked Gerald.

"He goes by the name of Hugh Lynch. He's from the same village as my parents and he used to be my father's best friend in the past. However, to start a business in Mayberry, he borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from my family. After eventually becoming successful, Hugh never once considered paying off the debts he owed us. And that's not the worst thing about him either! Do you remember when I told you about what happened after I took a leave to go home during sophomore year? It turns out that it was Hugh who had hired the people to beat my father up!" replied Xavia as she slowly quieted down after explaining the situation.

She was talking about their past after all. That would naturally make her feel uneasy.

"I remember, but why are you asking me for help? You clearly have the means of teaching him a lesson yourself now!" said Gerald, genuinely confused.

Xavia simply sneered as she replied, "If I were the one who did it, he may not remember about the incident in the years to come. Besides, it would be inconvenient for me to use the Long's people but that's beside the point. The main reason I'm asking for your help, is because you're famous in Mayberry. Having you do it instead of me will definitely leave a lasting impact on him!"

"Well, that person is definitely wicked enough for me to deal with. I remember when he even ordered someone to ambush you at the university. Is he the same person who founded the bar?" asked Gerald as he recalled their past together.

"That's him alright! You know, he's even abducted a few young girls from my village and all of them are ruined now. Even my younger sister almost suffered the same fate... Don't you think he deserves the worst of punishments?"

"Fine. I'll help you deal with him, on one condition. Don't ever target my friends again!"

"Agreed! I'll order my subordinates to leave, right this instant!"

After saying that, Xavia immediately turned around and re-entered her car. The driver then drove her away.

Upon seeing the car leave, both Aiden and Yoel rushed toward Gerald.

"Mr. Crawford, what did you say to that woman? Don't you think you showed her a little too much respect today?"

"That's right!" said Aiden, angry for Gerald's sake when he heard Yoel's comment.

"I get where you're coming from, but just know that I'm not exactly afraid of her. I just don't want anything more to do with her. With any luck, once all her anger has been vented, she won't create further messes for me to deal with and we won't have anything to do with each other after that!" replied Gerald calmly.

"Also, I need to go back and get a change of clothes. After that, both of you will have to follow me somewhere. In the meantime, get our men ready! We're going to go do something together!" ordered Gerald to both Aiden and Yoel.

"Will do, Mr. Crawford! We'll start preparing immediately!"

Though they didn't exactly know what the incident was about, they swiftly began to make a few phone calls without questioning Gerald any further.

Gerald himself returned to Mountain Top Villa to change his clothes.

Once all three of them were done, Aiden drove them straight to a small bar in Mayberry under Gerald's orders.

"Mr. Crawford, what exactly are we going to do here?" asked Yoel after the three of them got out of the car.

Puffing his freshly lit cigarette, Aiden smiled as he said, "I heard that this place is quite unsanctioned."

"You heard right. We're here because some illegal things are happening in this tiny bar," replied Gerald with a bitter laugh.

"For real? Don't tell me you came here to have some s*x?" asked Yoel, shocked.

"Nonsense! Today, we're here to..."

Gerald then started whispering to both Yoel and Aiden. By the end of his explanation, both of their eyes sparkled with excitement. With the plan made clear, all three of them then strode into the bar. Upon entering the large hall, they chose a random booth and sat in it. Immediately after, Gerald began scanning the place.

It wasn't long before a bald, middle-aged man with tiger tattoos all over his body caught Gerald's attention. The man was talking to a few people from the community near the bar, with his hands in his pockets. Gerald definitely knew who the man was. He was the one who owed Xavia's father money.

When that man had tried giving trouble to Xavia in the past, Gerald had also been beaten up by his subordinates. If it wasn't for Xavia bringing up the incident again, Gerald wouldn't have remembered that it happened in the first place.

However, rather than to have personal revenge, Gerald was only here to settle the score for Xavia since he had promised to help her. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have bothered coming here in the first place. "Can I take your order, sirs?" asked a young woman who was dressed up gorgeously as she stood in front of them.

Gerald, who was now lying on the sofa with both of his legs on the table, simply closed his eyes as he said, "I'm not interested in ordering anything."

"Is... Is that so? But sirs, we offer all sorts of-"

"F*ck off! Don't you understand English? He said he isn't interested in ordering anything!" shouted Aiden as he stood up and kicked the table to the side.
