Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1030
With that, heughed. While he was excited to find a source of blood, he was also genuinely surprised
by the old man’s statement.
“Indeed! You’ve been a huge waste of time and effort, you know? Regardless, since I managed to
bump into you while looking for one final essential ingredient for my medicine, I believe that both of us
were destined to meet here. While it was a pity that I wasn’t able to kill you back then in the Salford
Province, it seems that you’re just itching to die since you brought yourself right to my doorstep this
time! It’s high time we settled all our past grudges and grievances today, Mr. Crawford!” replied the old
man, his gaze frigid.
“Ah, yes, you were still working for the Schuylers back then in the Salford Province if I remember
correctly. We didn’t even hate each other yet at the time. Sometime after that incident happened,
however, I was surprised that you weren’t even present when I returned to the province around six
months ago. So it turns out that you had moved to the Northern region!” said Gerald as he stared back
at the old man.
The old man quite literally had both halves of his face painted ck and white respectively. It made his
face look like the symbol of yin and yang.
Back when both of them had first met, the old man—who went by the name of Julian—had been under
the guise of Yael’s butler. From the moment they met, Gerald could already sense that Julian wasn’t an
ordinary person.
His gut feeling eventually turned out to be right, and Julian had left a deep impression on Gerald ever
since that incident. Gerald had also found it odd that Julian wasn’t present back when he destroyed the
Schuyler family for good.
“Well, I was initially under the impression that the Schuylers would eventually be able to overtake the
Fendersons. If all had gone ording to n, then the Schuylers would’ve easily and consequently
used their newly acquired power to destroy the Crawfords! However, from the moment I realized that
Noah had secretly tried to curry favor the Crawfords under the pretense that he was going to destroy
the Fendersons, I knew from that point on that even if Noah managed to eventually take over the
Fenderson family, he would never have the balls to actually go against the Crawfords! After all, I
understood him far too well by that point. That was the main reason I left them!”
“Wanting to continue improving my strength, I ended uping to Everdare Forest in search of
ingredients for me to brew an elixir to grant me just that! After searching for so long, I’ve finally
managed to gather all the necessary medicinal herbs that I need to brew it. However, there is still one
last ingredient I need that is essential to perfecting the elixir. And that’s a heart! Since I actually
managed to meet up with you here, I’ll definitely be using the heart of a Crawford toplete the elixir!
What perfect timing for you to show yourself at this moment! Hahaha!” exined Julian with his hands
still behind his back.
“What did the Crawfords even do to you for you to hate them so much? For you to resort to all sorts of
trickery and make endlessly attempts to get me?”
“Heh, it’s simple really. Did you know that the Crawfords are far too powerful? Your family holds so
much power that even a single order that they give is enough to wipe out an entire n. Even though
those from the Laker family only hurt one of the Yaleman’s young masters back then, your family
retaliated by taking the lives of hundreds of the Laker’s family members! And just like that, my family
was almostpletely wiped out, despite the fact that we were one of the four major families in
Yanken at the time!” growled Julian, his rage reflected in his eyes.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Upon hearing that, Gerald was finally able to see the bigger picture. Recalling what his grandmother
had told him, there were once four major families in Yanken. Since his mother had eloped with his
father back then instead of going through the arranged marriage that the Yalemans had promised with
the Lakers, the Laker family had expressed their dissatisfaction by attacking his fifth uncle who was still
in a vegetative state today because of them.
In retaliation, his father then exterminated most of the Laker family. It was now evident that the old man
now standing before him was a descendant of the Lakers.
“Hahaha! God truly is on my side this time! I guess my trip to the Logan Province wasn’t a wasted
decision after all!” added Julian with a boomingugh.
“…I’m sorry!” replied Gerald.
“Heh! How ridiculous! Do you think apologizing will help you evade death?” scoffed Julian as he
pointed at Gerald while shaking his head.
“Well, it’s less to do with that and more to do with theplicated feelings I’m currently experiencing…
After all, I don’t even know whether I should thank or sympathize with you!”
“…You want to thank me?”
“Indeed. After all, I’m in dire need of human blood now since I wish to lure the holy fox out. Not only are
you human, but you’re also fairly capable and well-trained! You’re the perfect sacrificial candidate to get
it to show itself! I don’t really know how else to express my gratitude since you’re going to be dead
soon anyway, but I’ll promise to kill you quickly and painlessly! I’ll also be leaving your body fully intact
so don’t worry about that!” said Gerald extremely sincerely.
Immediately frowning, Julian then retorted, “You… You brat! Did it only take a year for your mental state
to regress that much? Do you honestly think you can eveny a finger on me?!”
“You’ll see in a second. Please understand that I have no better choice!” replied Gerald.
“That’s enough nonsense! You’ve clearly gone bonkers! Regardless, I’ll be taking your life now, Mr.
Crawford! I really want to see the look of Dn’s face once he receives your corpse! Hahaha!”
Upon ending his sentence, Dn immediately made a mad dash toward Gerald, aiming a punch at
him!
Gerald himself retaliated with his own punch, and as their fists collided, the sound of snapping bones
could instantly be heard.
It took Julian a second to register the pain, but when it finally hit, he realized a second toote that he
was already falling to the ground. Spurting blood in between screams of anguish, the old man had a
terrified expression on his face.
It was as though he hade face to face with the most powerful force he had ever encountered in his
entire life.
Not giving in that easily, Julian immediately got up again—albeit a bit wobbly—as he attempted to
make another punch! However, the moment his fist collided with Gerald’s chest, it felt akin to him
punching an immovable mountain. In fact, the impact of the blow probably hurt Julian even more!
“…Y-you… You…!” growled Julian, spurting blood the entire time as he looked at Gerald in utter
disbelief.
All the paths to his vital energy flow had been severed by this point, just because of a single punch
from Gerald. It had only been a year since they hadst met.
How was he this strong now? It was simply impossible, right?
