    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1008


    After saying that, the man who looked to be around ny actually bowed before Gerald! Though after


    he witnessed all that, it was really no mystery why he did so.


    Gerald himself could estimate that Kaleb’s current strength was simr to his own half a year ago. He


    could also tell that Kaleb had already achieved his inner strength.


    While he was clearly still weaker than Gerald, with Kaleb’s current capabilities, the old man could very


    well be considered to be one of the champions.


    With that, the bloodlust in Gerald’s eyes gradually returned to normal. His imposing demeanor slowly


    decreased as well, allowing Kaleb to finally heave a long sigh of relief.


    “I can tell that you’ve spent many years training in order to achieve your inner strength. It mustn’t have


    been easy, so I won’t kill you. Just go warn the others not to ever try me again!” said Gerald as his


    temperament fully returned to normal.

    “Thank you for sparing my life, and yes, I’ll definitely obey your orders, mister! However, there is one


    thing that I still don’t quite understand,” replied Kaleb with a spark of both excitement and anticipation in


    his eyes.


    “Go on.”


    “You see, after devoting my entire life to martial arts, I was finally able to be one of the champions


    about seven years ago. Even so, I still hope to one day be able to have my name written on the


    Weston Honor Roll in order to make a name for my family’s Ancient Martial Arts. However, as


    expected, it’s extremely difficult to get into the honor roll. I’m curious to know what your ranking in the


    honor roll is!”


    “The Weston Honor Roll? I’ve never heard about such a thing…” replied Gerald rather cidly.


    “Well, as long as one is a champion, he or she will naturally have their name added to the Weston


    Honor Roll. It’s a sort of ranking list that’s controlled by the four major secret societies in Weston. Still,


    even though it’s evident that you’ve trained a great deal, I find it odd that you aren’t aware of the honor


    roll! Could it be that you don’t belong to any of the four major societies?” asked Kaleb, astonished.


    “There are four major secret societies?”


    “Indeed, there are! The families who rule the secret societies are the Yatons, the Naplocks, the


    Moldells, and the Fergusons! And here I thought that you were an expert from one of the four major


    secret societies!”


    “I’ve only heard about the Moldells!” replied Gerald as he raised a brow slightly.


    From what Gerald knew, secret societies truly were extremely mysterious, just as their title suggested.


    They rarely contacted ordinary people due to a general agreement that their bloodlines were different


    from the regr folk. As a result, they absolutely looked down on themon folk.


    Though they hardly ever appeared before others, secret societies existed all over the world and


    consisted of members from all walks of life. They also tended to have histories spanning over a


    thousand years.


    Gerald’s introduction to the Moldell family had allowed him to understand how much power and


    strength secret societies could hold.


    “I see… Regardless, all the people on the honor roll are extremely powerful, and those from the four


    major secret societies upy around eighty percent of the members on that list. I personallye


    from the Merrett family, and though I’d like to continue making a name for my family’s Ancient Martial


    Arts, I’m quite ashamed to admit that it isn’t as easy as I thought it’d be. Sadly, there aren’t any other


    existing champions within the Merrett family—topete for a position within the honor roll—either


    since my ancestors up till my generation have all passed away,” replied Kaleb with a wry smile.


    “I see. Regarding the four major societies, how strong is the most powerful person?” asked Gerald.


    “I’m not too sure about that… However, ording to rumors, there are great masters in the four major


    societies who are in charge of their respective families. As I said though, what I’ve heard is simply a


    rumor since even those from the four major secret societies can’t discern the authenticity of that im


    at all!”


    “Now that you know more about the Weston Honor Roll, I wonder if your name is already on it…


    Judging from your strength, you should easily be within the top fifty people on the honor roll!” said


    Kaleb respectfully as he carefully retrieved an old scroll that had been hidden under his sleeve.


    Rolling it open for Gerald to see, it seemed that only the top two hundred people would have their


    names recorded on it.


    “I haven’t even heard about the Weston Honor Roll before you told me about it… There’s no chance


    that my name would be in there…”


    As Gerald turned to skim through the scroll, he pointed where the first ce was before asking, “…Hold


    it, why is the first ce nk? It almost seems like someone had the name removed deliberately.”


    “Ah, well, let’s just say that the person in first ce is very mysterious. Based on what my father told


    me, the person who was given first ce had been near-invincible, even from a young age. Once he


    was older, he even dealt with several experts from the four major secret societies on his own! In the


    end, however, none of them could evene close to defeating him!”


    “While many have tried to investigate his background, their attempts always failed since nobody could


    locate where the person even was! As my father said back then, as long as that person remained alive,


    nobody could be deemed more powerful than he was. Apparently everyone thought so as well, so it’s


    be a tradition for the first ce to always remain nk,” exined Kaleb who was clearly very


    interested in things regarding the honor roll.


    “I appreciate the exnation,” replied Gerald with a nod.


    “Speaking of which, since you spared my life and it’s almost noon, I wonder if I could have the liberty to


    treat you to a grand feast,” suggested Kaleb who was evidently trying to befriend Gerald.


    Since Kaleb knew quite a lot, Gerald felt that he would be able to gather more information on certain


    things if he allowed the old man to treat him to lunch. As a result, he simply nodded before saying,


    “Sure. I’ll just call my friend first to update her on the situation. Give me a moment.”
