Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1023
“So I heard that you’ve sessfully captured Gerald Crawford, Mr. Lovewell. On behalf of the Moldells,
I really don’t know how to thank you enough,” said an elderly man—who was leading seven other
members of the Moldell family—as heughed out loud.
“You’re being far too modest, Mr. Yaster. After all, the Lovewells and the Moldells may as well be
considered to be one big family in the Logan Province by this point. Gerald himself is a mere outsider.
Why would we ever favor an outsider to someone from our side?” replied Zander with a subtle smile.
“Well I’ll be d*mned! That really is him! You have no idea how much effort we had to put in order to find
him!” said Yaster, his voice overjoyed as he approached the unconscious Gerald.
Yaster himself was a senior figure within the Moldell family in Logan. In fact, his job was to manage the
entire family in the province. Therefore, sessfully capturing Gerald would definitely be a great
achievement on his part. He was already wondering how his second uncle, Kort, would reward him for
his achievement.
“It’s truly been a pain to track you down… Now that you’re finally unconscious due to the potent poison
of the Scatter Pill, let’s see how you’ll worm yourself out of this one!” scoffed Yaster coldly.

“Still, even though you described him to be all-powerful, I really don’t see what’s so great about him,
Mr. Lovewell!” added Yaster who was clearly in a very good mood.
“I’ll have to correct you there, Uncle Moldell… Most of the Lovewells have already witnessed his true
strength and capabilities by this point, and just as my father had described, he truly is that strong. We
were only able to subdue him today thanks to my younger sister’s help and the wonderfully potent
poison of the Scatter Pill you gave us! Otherwise, it would’ve definitely taken a lot more effort to get him
to his current state!” replied Xareni as she straightened her hair while smiling.
“Ah, my niece seems to be an extremely eloquent speaker! You’ve truly made a great contribution in
this matter, Xareni! The Moldell family will never forget what you’ve done for us! Regardless, it’s true
that anyone who consumes even a little of the Scatter Pill—regardless of how much they’ve previously
trained—will end up falling unconscious with little chance of ever getting up again!” eximed Yaster.
Waving his hand, he then ordered, “Come over, men! It’s high time we brought Gerald back to the
Moldell Manor! Once he’s there, we’ll just wait for the second elder’s instructions once he’s returned
from Northbay!”
“Right away, sir!”
Just as Yaster’s men were about to carry Gerald away, a cold voice from behind them suddenly called
out, “Hold it! What are you nning to do to Mr. Crawford?”
Turning back to see who had said that, everyone saw a white-haired old man standing behind the
crowd.
“Oh? It’s you, Mr. Merrett! Here, we’ve retrieved the Everdare Forest map for you. Still, the map is an
ancestral heritage from the Merrett family! I still can’t bring myself to believe that you actually gave it to
that kid so casually! Gerald wasn’t even content with just having that! To think that he’d eye on the
Lovewell family’s Book of Beasts as well! He really doesn’t know how to behave till we force him to!”
replied Zander, evidently shocked to see Kaleb there.
In all honesty, Zander had secretly been observing Kaleb’s behavior for a while now. He had reason to
since Kaleb seemed to be getting quite close to Gerald.
Still, he wasn’t really all that worried in the beginning since both he and Kaleb had already been friends
for so many years by now. As a result, he had believed that if something were to truly happen, then
Kaleb would definitely be on his side!
However, he realized just how wrong he was after the events ofst night. After all, it was then when
Zander realized that Kaleb had told Gerald about the Lovewell family’s Book of Beasts. From that point
on, Zander found himself getting increasingly wary of Kaleb.
It was also the reason why he was trying to antagonize Gerald now in his embarrassment.
“Zander, do you honestly take me as nothing but a child? I’ve already heard everything that I needed to
earlier. It’s clear as day that you’ve colluded with the Moldells to betray Mr. Crawford! He saved the
lives of everyone in the Lovewell family, Zander! To think that you’d actually repay his kindness with
acts of evil! Do you even still have a conscience?!” yelled Kaleb as he pointed at Zander.
Though momentarily stunned, Zander’s expression turned cold as he replied, “He tried to take the Book
of Beasts from our family! He was certainly asking for all this to happen! Please, Mr. Merrett! Stay out
of all this! I’m only saying this since we’ve been friends for so many years by now! Just go home and
rest while the Moldells take care of the rest!”
Despite Zander’s persistence to send him back, Kaleb simply said, “Go home? As long as I’m around,
none of you will even be able to touch a single strand of Gerald’s hair from here on out!”
Gulping, Zander then nodded with a heavy heart as he replied, “…Fine then, Mr. Merrett. Since you
can’t tell what’s good for you, then don’t me me for being rude and ruthless!”
‘Since the Moldells are here today, you won’t be able to even touch me!’ Zander thought to himself as
he turned to look at Yaster.
Yaster could instantly tell what Zander was hinting at.
“If there’s anyone to me in all of this, it’s yourself for meddling in other peoples’ businesses!”
shouted Yaster coldly as he immediately dispatched a few of his subordinates to fight Kaleb.
Kaleb, was a skillful man who had already achieved the title of champion. Due to that, he normally
didn’t have to take ordinary men seriously at all.
