Chapter 1444


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1444


    The voice belonged to Peter, and he was currently being hung up at the square as several Gunters—


    who had been listening to his scowls—red at him.


    Unable to take any more humiliation, one of the Gunter family’s disciples icily sneered, “To think you’d


    still say such crap when you’re in such a state… I’ve decided! I’m breaking all your teeth right this


    instant! Let’s see you try to be arrogant then!”


    Just as the disciple was about to make his move, however, he froze in ce when a sudden, distinct


    voice shouted, “Stop right there!”


    “Lady Gunter!” dered the other disciples—who were present at the square— extremely respectfully.


    “Step down!” ordered Yreth who was now walking toward Peter with a group of people behind her.

    Arms against her back, Yreth looked at Peter with a smile as she said, “You know, I heard that a


    mysterious and extremely exceptional man made his appearance a few years back… He was said to


    have exceptional archery skills, and was a top-notch marksman… While I waspelled to think that


    the person came from a new cryptic family, I truly hadn’t expected him to be you, of all people!”


    While she had to admit that Peter was extremely strong, even he was unable to withstand a single blow


    from the King of Judgment Portal back when they bumped into each other.


    “You old witch! If you wish to end me, then just do it already and spare me the nonsense!” retorted


    Peter.


    “Oh, don’t worry, you’ll die a littleter! Haha! Still, now that I think about it, you resemble a person I


    used to know quite a bit… Could you be Daryl’s second son?” asked Yreth casually.


    Upon hearing that, Peter’s eyelids twitched slightly.


    Puzzled, he then asked, “…You know my father…?”


    “Of course I do. The Gunters and the Crawfords have had certain rtionships before, you know?


    Regardless, it truly hadn’t urred to me that the descendant of that cunning old man could actually be


    a powerful hero!” scowled Yreth at the mention of Daryl.


    While it was a norm for others to get angered whenever they heard others bad-mouthing their fathers,


    Peter simply took in a deep breath before asking, “…What exactly was his rtionship with your


    family?”


    “Haha! So you truly don’t know! I see, I see… Well, I suppose it’s not unexpected from him. After all,


    he’s a person who’s able to do just about anything! He probably only sees you, his biological son, as


    nothing but a pawn! I’m saying it now that you’ve been constantly lied to and tricked by him!” replied


    Yreth.


    “Well, since you’re going to dieter anyway, I don’t mind sharing what I know. Maybe you’ll finally be


    able to see what kind of person Daryl really is! First off, I need you to understand that your family is


    nothing but a preposterous joke! Once you’re done listening to my part of the story, let’s see if you still


    think that we’re the real robbers!” sneered Yreth.


    Frowning slightly, Peter said nothing though he kept his ears peeled.


    “Now then, where to begin… I’m assuming that to you, Daryl’s a responsible father who’s good at


    business and has several other strong capabilities, correct? Well, he’s none of that. He’s nothing but a


    true b*stard, that’s what he is! In case you haven’t noticed, the Crawford family’s history isn’t as simple


    as merely being a rich and powerful family that’ssted for almost a thousand years! You were simply


    lied to!”


    “The truth is, you Crawfords began as a cryptic family as well! In fact, you were the strongest cryptic


    family on the for the longest time! After all, your family was capable of using a multitude of


    extraordinary and remarkable secret techniques. Truth be told, there was such a huge gap between


    your family’s secret techniquespared to the other cryptic families that it wouldn’t be a stretch to say


    that the Crawfords—in their early years—were close to reaching the level of those living in Jaetra!”


    exined Yreth.


    “The Crawfords… Were initially a cryptic family…?” replied Peter, clearly surprised. If that were truly the


    case, then there was a possibility that some of the mysteries that he had been unable to solve in his


    heart could finally be solved.


    “Indeed. Your family almost died out overnight when Daryl was only sixteen, you know? He was the


    only survivor who managed to escape with his life intact. Regardless, since the Crawfords were no


    longer in the picture, the Gunters naturally took their ce in bing the most powerful cryptic family


    at the time.”


    “A crucial thing to note is that the Crawfords have been going against the Gunters for the longest time.


    With that in mind, that cunning old man made sure to ce the entire me—of the Crawford family’s


    mass ughter—on our family! You have no idea how many times he attempted to take revenge on the


    Gunters. There was seemingly no end to his cunning schemes! Unfortunately for him, however, he was


    nowhere as strong as the exceptional Crawford family members that existed during your family’s earlier


    years. With that said, all his schemes simply ended in failure!”


    “Eventually, however, he plotted to steal our family’s most precious treasure! I’d like you to know that


    he didn’t even hesitate to kill the innocent people living in the surrounding viges as a means to force


    us out! In the end, we surrounded and attacked him, understanding that he had simply gone too far.


    Following that, he was seriously injured though he did manage to flee!” sneered Yreth.


    By that point, the glossiness in Peter’s eyes almost suggested that he was in some sort of trance.


    However, he quickly snapped out of it, and after thinking for a while, he then replied, “…So what you’re


    saying is that though he clearly knew that he was unable to go against the Gunters, he still tried to use


    all sorts of ways tounch surprise attacks against your family? Also, he, of all people, should’ve


    definitely known that your family would have no real way of exterminating ours… With that in mind, why


    had he continuously pestered your family like that…?”


    “Hahaha! With your great deductive abilities, I have no doubts that you truly are Daryl’s son…


    Regardless, you’re absolutely correct. Even though he was a fool, it was pretty much impossible for


    him not to know that the Gunters didn’t have the power to evene close to exterminating your family


    back then, especially since that was the Crawford family’s most glorious and prosperous period. The


    truth is, he had been constantly pestering us since he had learned of a dreadful secret…”
