    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 869


    “Appreciate the cooperation. We’lle over to take the properties from you in seven days,” said


    Philip.


    With that, Gerald began leaving and his subordinates followed behind him.


    The other guests didn’t dare remain there either after witnessing the terrible incident that had just


    befallen the Long family. They, too, hurried out after Gerald’s men were gone.


    “Dad… Why? Why did you sign it?! What’s the big deal? We could’ve just fought against them! After all,


    we’re not afraid to die!” cried out one of the middle-aged men.


    A harsh p from Master Long was his immediate response!


    “You b*stard! Do you truly want our entire family to be ruined beyond the point of no return? Do you


    wish for the Longs to have no descendants to leave behind?!” roared Master Long ring at him


    fiercely as his lips continued twitching furiously.


    “We’ve beenpletely defeated by the Crawford siblings this time! While we’ve continuously plotted


    against them in secret all these years, their background is simply too powerful!” added Master Long as


    he clenched his fists tightly.


    “But… But dad! We’re left with nothing now!”


    “That’s true. We no longer own anything!” replied Master long with a nod.


    “However, we still have our history spanning centuries! We won’t disappear from Weston that easily!


    After all, we still have ast resort!”


    “A…st resort?”


    Master Long nodded in response before saying, “Have you heard… of the Moldell family in Yanken?”


    “The Moldells…?”


    As the other Longs took turns shaking their heads, Master Long added, “That’s right. They’re the most


    secretive family in all of Weston. I believe that they’re our only shot at going against the Crawfords.”


    He then squinted his eyes before continuing, “A dozen or so years ago, the Long family still had contact


    with that family. However, after a certain incident happened, we ceased all contact with them”


    “What exactly happened, dad?” asked one of the Longs.


    “Humph! It all happened the year the son of the Moldell’s Second Master came over as a guest! Since


    the Moldells preferred living in seclusion, its family members tended to stay out of affairs outside their


    own. The only exception was the Second Master’s son. He went by the name of KortMoldell, and


    contrary to the rest of his family, he simply couldn’t stay away from all the sensual pleasures he could


    experience in the outside world!”


    “Kort was an ambitious man, he was! In fact, he was so ambitious that on the day he came as a guest,


    he actually threatened us right off the bat! Putting it simply, he wanted to be the backbone of our family.


    If we had agreed back then, he would’ve secretly helped us be an internationally renowned and


    wealthy family! However, had we chosen to go down that route, the Longs would’ve essentially sealed


    their fate to be nothing more than hisckeys!” exined Master Long.


    “What wishful thinking he had! Even if we would’ve be internationally renowned, we’d still only be


    his puppets in the end, unable to act against his bidding!” sneered the Long family’s eldest son.


    “And that’s exactly why I rejected that offer! The Longs would’ve had to drop our surname if we had


    agreed, taking up the surname of Moldell instead! Even if riches and prestige were on the line, I


    couldn’t just abandon our family surname that our ancestors had carried on for so long!”


    “Then… What happened after that? Since Kort had such great ambitions, surely he wouldn’t have


    allowed you to refuse that easily, right?” asked another Long.


    “But of course not! Some twenty-five years ago, Kort finally had his revenge on our family. Do you still


    remember the incident where Shaw was attacked by others just moments after being born, Joel? As a


    result, Shaw grew up to be a fool who barely had any sanity!”


    “Of course I do! Though I wanted to investigate it, you wouldn’t let me! It’s still a mystery to me now!”


    “Yes, well… That was Kort’s doing. If we had investigated it, our family would’ve eventually fallen into


    ruin. It was his way of sending us a reminder!” replied Master Long.


    Shaw was the second young master of the Long family who never made any appearances regardless


    of the asion. After all, he truly was a person who bore no semnce of sanity.

    “Speaking of which, where is Shaw?” asked Master Long.


    “The Second youngdy’s brought him out to have some fun!”
