Chapter 1171
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1171
With that said, Hendrik ordered for Gerald to be arrested.
Not long after, Gerald found himself within a secret room with Hendrik.
“Tell me, Gerald… Are you aware of any secret techniques to get rid of ancient witchcraft…?” asked
Hendrik coldly.
“Secret techniques? Now why would I know anything of the sort! After all, such techniques are only
taught to those within the Holy Witchcraft, no?” replied Gerald rather casually as he turned to look at
Hendrik.
“You’d best stop putting on an act before me, you brat! I’ll admit that I used a secret ancient witchcraft
technique on Chester’s body long ago… That particr witchcraft poisons a person’s heart, making
them act in entric, unreasonable, and extreme ways! After a long period of time, said person would
eventually die from insanity! I was lucky to havee across such an ancient technique, you know?
Regardless, when I saw Chester again earlier, the witchcraft I had ced upon him seemed to have
been lifted! While he was able to regain his consciousness, I’m d that old woman still killed him with
a single blow! Otherwise, all my ns would’ve been for nothing!” growled Hendrik as he glowered at
Gerald.
Grabbing Gerald by his cor, he then added, “Now hurry up and spit out the truth! If it wasn’t you, then
is there anyone else among you who’s proficient in ancient secret techniques?!”
In truth, Gerald had noticed something odd about Chester back when he had just cornered him in the
woods. After using his mind-reading ability on Chester, he realized that Chester wasn’t actually a
person with bad character. In contrast, he seemed to be constantly repenting and confessing his sins!
Simultaneously, Gerald also noticed an inner demon within him that wished to simply act uncontrobly.
Something just didn’t feel quite right about that. After all, while childhood traumas could certainly be
linked with having extreme feelings or emotions, the things Gerald sensed within Chester were on a
whole new level.
It was then when Gerald realized that someone had used heart devouring witchcraft on him. Such
witchcraft was poisonous to the afflicted, and the technique could be used on any part of the body. If a
person wasn’t proficient in the technique or if they didn’t know about its existence in the first ce,
even a master who was skilled with poisons wouldn’t be able to tell if someone was suffering from the
witchcraft.
However, Finnley had previously taught and passed on all his skills to Gerald. As a result, Gerald was
much more proficient in poisons since he had received legitimate training on them.
Regardless, sometime after that incident, Gerald found an opportunity to remove the poison from
Chester’s body. However, he had refrained from telling Chester about it since he only wanted to tell him
about it once he fully recovered.
Anyhow, that was the reason why Gerald had treated Chester so well. If it wasn’t because of the
poison, Chester pretty much had a simple and kind personality. But there was no use thinking about all
this now…
Chester was no longer among the living.
He had died because of Gerald, and Hendrick was the one who had set him up.

Thinking about that, Gerald turned to re daggers at Hendrik, immense murderous intent reflected in
his eyes.
“Not only are you refusing to answer my question, but now you’re even ring at me so murderously?
Have it your way! I have many ways to make a useless person like you speak up! While I can’t kill you,
I can still make you suffer by humiliating you to the point where you’d definitely prefer to be dead rather
than alive!” dered Hendrik as his eyes widened.
“Men! Tie him up before hanging him out at the port! He’s going to be ced there as an exhibit for
tens of thousands of people… Only let him down once he’s willing to fess up!” ordered Hendrik as he
laughed aloud.
Swiftly obeying, Gerald soon found himself on the ground as Hendrik’s subordinates began tying his
hands behind his back…
True to Hendrik’s orders, Gerald was soon hung up—for all to see—at the port.
Also true to Hendrik’s words, an almost endless number of pedestrians immediately recognized who he
was when they walked past him, prompting many to take the time to stare and discuss Gerald’s current
plight.
“Oh god, isn’t that Mr. Crawford…?”
“The hell is going on? How did he even end up in such a sorry state?”
“Well, I’m sure you’ve heard by now of how vile the internalmittee of the Holy Witchcraft actually is,
right? You see, Mr. Crawford was the one who had uncovered their lies and exposed them! Due to his
actions, the young lord turned into a new leaf and even announced his departure from the Holy
Witchcraft! Since then, Mr. Crawford supposedly took the young lord under his wing!”
“You know, Mr. Crawford’s provided no shortage of economic-based projects for the Yonwick family…
In fact, he’s even taken the initiative to invest and start several development projects on Montholm
Ind! You can already tell that Mr. Crawford is a good man from all that he’s done!” exined a
passer-by.
While they clearly viewed him positively, none of those discussing Gerald dared to speak out loud. After
all, there were two guardians from the Holy Witchcraft who were keeping a close watch on Gerald, and
everyone knew that those from that n were proficient in witchcraft that could easily be used to kill
others.
Though they were aware that attempting to rescue him would definitely spell trouble, many of the
pedestrians chose to remain there. To them, since they couldn’t actively help him, keeping him
company was the next best thing.
Around that time, a car slowly drove past the area…
“…Hmm? M-miss Queena, look! It’s Mr. Crawford!” eximed the shocked driver when he saw who
had been hoisted up at the port.
Hearing that, she immediately rolled the car’s windows down to have a look for herself. Naturally, the
sight of Gerald in such a condition made her feel quite distressed.
While she was extremely tempted to lower Gerald right this instant, she kept reminding herself that his
current situation was pretty much ideal for her n to work out. In her mind, she summarized that after
Gerald arrived at the point where he couldn’t bear the humiliation anymore, he would eventuallye
to realize that she was the only person who truly cared about him. By that point, he would surely
choose to approach her, begging for mercy!
For her n toe true, she knew she had to endure her own pain, even if it made her slightly
distressed.
“So it is! Well, he has nothing to do with us! Drive on!” replied Queena as she closed her eyes.
Not daring to dy the car ride, the driver simply obeyed and drove off.
Meanwhile, Gerald was thinking to himself, ‘I have to quickly think of a way to recover my strength! If
this goes on, then I’ll definitely miss out on the pledge of the holy water! However, even after I’ve
escaped, I have no real way of contacting grandpa at all…!’
Hours passed and soon, it waste at night…
