    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 866


    Obeying his orders, a few subordinates then descended the stairs.


    However, even after they went down, no noise followed. Everything was quiet. Too quiet.


    It was at that moment when Shane realized that something was terribly wrong.


    “You there, you stay guard here. The rest of you follow me downstairs!” ordered Shane as a lone


    subordinate stood at attention in the room while the rest of them descended the stairs together with


    Shane.


    The moment Shane arrived at thest step, however, he stopped. The room was pitch ck and not a


    sound could be heard.


    Before he could even proceed any further, he felt a sharp pain against the back of his head! He could


    only assume that someone had smashed his head with a bat before he eventually passed out.


    It waste that night when Gerald and a very exhausted Bea finally made it back to Bea’s room. As she


    fell asleep almost instantaneously, Gerald covered her with a nket before leaving the room.


    Standing right outside her room was a group of bodyguards dressed in ck suits.


    “Humph! The Longs will surely find it difficult to sleep peacefully tonight, Mr. Crawford! After all, they’ve


    just lost one of their most capable people! As to be expected, they’re searching all over for Shane as


    we speak!” said Philip with a smile.


    “Indeed! Why don’t we let them look for him for seven days as well! Imagine their reactions after a


    week without their precious grandson!” added another subordinate.


    “I really don’t have the time to mess with the Longs for a week. Speaking of the Longs, they’re


    celebrating some kind of asion tomorrow, right? Perfect. Since Shane gave us such arge gift by


    threatening Bea for seven days straight, we’ll head to that asion tomorrow with a gift of our own!”


    said Gerald with a cold gaze in his eyes.

    “Get him ready!”


    “Roger, Mr. Crawford!”


    It was the next day in the Long family’s manor when Master Long asked, “How’s the situation? Did any


    of you manage to find Shane?”


    Master Long himself was wearing a formal suit. After all, they were celebrating a special asion


    today. Several of their family members wereing over alongside many more distinguished guests.


    While the atmosphere was somewhat festive, all those from the Long family were honestly filled with


    worry and anxiety.


    “We haven’t, master. However, from what we can tell, the Yalemans should be behind this. After all,


    Miss Bea was savedst night. However, when we headed over to the Yaleman family to investigate,


    we couldn’t find a single trace of him!” said Master Long’s butler.


    “Hah! The Yaleman family isn’t that capable. Besides, they would never dream of even trying to stand


    up against the Long family. The one who did it was most probably Jessica’s brother, Gerald!” replied


    Master long as he squinted his eyes.


    “Gerald?” said the butler, stunned.


    “It’s not the first time I’ve heard his name… From what I can recall, he seemed to have grudges against


    Mr. Yunus back in Mayberry… What more, Gerald seemed to be there when Mr. Yunus went missing in


    the Salford Province,” added the butler.


    Hearing that, Master Long clenched his walking stick tightly.


    “The Crawford siblings truly are deliberately standing against the Longs! How pitiful Yunus is… Up till


    recently, I had no idea who had caused Yunus’s disappearance… As it turned out, it was the Crawford


    siblings yet again!” growled Master Long as his gaze went frigid.


    “It seems that I need to meet them in person sometime. If they really are the perpetrators who caused


    both Yunus and Shane to disappear, I don’t care what kind of influential supporters they have! They’ll


    have to pay the heavy price of a terrible death!”


    “Master! Those from the Quarrington family have arrived!” announced a servant as he approached the


    man who was still deep in resentment.


    However, his mood instantly shifted the moment he realized who was here. With a delighted nod, he


    then said, “Well, hurry up and wee them in!”


    At their current strength, the Longs were still much too weak to go against the Crawford siblings. If the


    Longs truly wanted to take the siblings down, then their best bet to achieve that would be by


    cooperating with powerful people from all walks of life.


    “Can’t we refuse to participate, Giya…?”


    Outside the Long family’s manor, a few women were nervously suggesting against joining the Long


    family’s special asion.


    “What’s there to be afraid of? While I’m equally unwilling to be here, I have toe on my father’s


    behalf since the Longs invited my entire family over. Besides, I’m the one who bears grudges against


    them yet I’m hardly scared at all! Why are you the ones scared?” said Giya as she looked at Marilyn


    and her other friends.


    “Well, the Longs are the most powerful family in Yanken… Of course I’d be nervousing to a ce


    like this… Besides, look around us! Everyone in there is probably a big shot!” replied Marilyn in a


    quivering voice.


    “Well I’m here, aren’t I? I’ve always kept youpany in the past, so you’ll have to keep mepany


    this time around!” said Giya in a yful tone.


    “Fine… We’ll enter with you!” replied Marilyn as she stuck her tongue out.


    “…Huh? Hey Marilyn, Giya! Look over there! There’s a team of luxurious carsing this way!”


    squealed one of Giya’s friends in surprise as she pointed toward the cars that were driving toward the


    manor’s gates.
