    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 947


    It was honestly beyond Diego and the other bosses’ expectations that those from the Royal Dragon


    Group wouldn’t back down from thepetition. Quite honestly, Gerald and his men looked rather


    confident about the whole thing.


    Sensing that, Diego and the bosses knew that if they didn’t show how powerful they were right off the


    bat, it was only going to get more and more difficult for them to keep Gerald’spany in check in the


    future.


    Soon after, the civil and military gathering began and the participants were led to arge area that had


    been set up within the center.


    The five groups had each naturally chosen their most powerful subordinates to take part in the


    competition. Gerald himself had sent Whistler and a few of his other more capable men to participate.


    Those whom Gerald had selected had all undergone personal special training with him. Due to that,


    their strength was much more reinforcedpared to before.


    As soon as thepetition began, everyone was surprised to see Gerald’s men immediately go on the


    offense. With swift and precise attacks, Whistler’s men beat up the other group so vigorously that they


    never had the chance to even fight back before going down.


    “…What?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Diego and the other bosses could feel their eyelids twitching as they watched the defeated menying


    on the ground.


    Before thepetition had started, the bosses had assured themselves that the subordinates Gerald


    had with him were simply putting up fronts, pretending to be Special Forces. After all, the way they had


    presented themselves was somewhat simr to how the previous pharmaceutical factory boss had first


    done.


    Since both the previous boss and Gerald had put on airs before the actualpetition, Diego and the


    other bosses simply assumed that Gerald’s men would be as weak as the old boss’s participants.


    Little did they know that no fronts had ever been put up. Gerald’s men were genuinely strong.


    “So it seems that Mr. Crawford enjoys keeping a low profile… To think that he would have such


    powerful subordinates… iming that he’ll be the one who will have the most say when ites to


    dividing the territories once the meeting is over doesn’t even sound all that far-fetched now…” said


    Diego as he forced a smile.


    With the territories being divided among six people now instead of five, things were definitely going to


    be a lot differentpared to how the civil and military meetings usually went. As if things weren’t


    looking grim enough for the five bosses, it seemed that Gerald’s subordinates really were going to be


    crowned champion by the end of the night.


    While Gerald said nothing throughout the civil and military meeting, Diego and the other bosses got


    more and more restless every time a battlemenced.


    This was mainly because Whistler himself hadn’t made a single move throughout any of the battles.


    The other four of Gerald’s subordinates were more than enough to take down their opponents.


    By the time all the battles had been fought, an awkward silence filled the room. The silence was so


    overbearing that one would be able to hear a pin drop.


    “My men and I appreciate how modestly you’ve been treating us, Chairman Jey. Thank you very


    much,” said Whistler as he walked over, breaking the silence.


    In response, Diego could only smile awkwardly as he said, “You’re wee… Still, you and your men


    are incredibly powerful… My own men weren’t even able to show off that much tonight…”


    “I’ll have to correct you there, Chairman Jay. After all, the most powerful person here isn’t any of us, but


    rather, our master. We learned everything we know from him,” replied Whistler as he looked at Gerald


    before shaking his head with a bitter smile on his face.


    “Oh? You’re saying that Chairman Crawford here is much stronger than any of you are? Then it seems


    that we’ve truly made a terribly wrong judgment tonight!”


    Though a smile was on Diego’s face as he said that, inside, he was getting increasingly flustered.


    After all, Gerald’s men hadpletely defeated all five of Talgo Town’s most influential groups in front


    of everyone. Not only had they failed to acquire the Royal Dragon Group tonight, most of the territories


    were now going to fall under Gerald’s hand instead!


    “Speaking of which, Chairman Jey… I wonder if what you said earlier was true… The part where the


    winner gets to divide the territories…?” asked Whistler.


    Coughing before clearing his throat, Diego then replied with a smile, “…But of course that was true!


    With thepetition results now out, we’ll be discussing how we’ll divide the territories once the party


    is over!”


    Diego didn’t even dare to say much despite his clear dissatisfaction. After all, he couldn’t just break his


    promise.


    “In the meantime, you there! Go remove the que bearing the names of all five of the influential


    groups involved in the Civil and Military Groups. From today onward, six names will be on it!” ordered


    Diego as he pointed at one of his subordinates.


    While four other bosses barely said a word, they all had their own thoughts about the situation.


    Though some of them resented the Royal Dragon Group for disrupting their affairs despite being


    outsiders, the others seemed to rather enjoy the misfortune of the displeased bosses.


    The ones enjoying the current situation were the weaker groups who hoped that with Gerald’s


    involvement—which would definitely upset the original bnce—they would be able to manipte how


    things ended up once chaos eventually ensued.


    As a few subordinates returned withdders to remove the que, a voice shouted, “There’s no need


    to go through so much trouble!”
