Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1558
The Turnbulls were a family that had existed for hundreds of years, and there were many exceptional
and powerful people within that family who had influential backgrounds. Due to that, they had always
behaved rather recklessly since nobody could really stand up against them.
With all that in mind, Hooper had never imagined that his son would die so horribly. Hugging onto the
many pieces of his son’s corpse, Hooper felt as a cocktail of grief, hatred, and wrath began brewing in
his heart…
Upon seeing his reaction, everyone sensible enough immediately took a few steps back.
Still trembling, Hooper then turned to look at Lenox as he growled, “…Who… Who’s responsible for
killing my son…?!”
Quivering in fear, Lenox then replied, “T-the person who did it… is the one my family’s been looking
everywhere for! The deed was done by Gerald!”
“…What?! Gerald?!” roared Hooper, his eyes now a bloody-red as murderous intent exuded from every
orifice on his body.
Watching all this y out, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man—who had been sitting at the side—
then dered, “I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family, Hooper… Regardless, to
avenge my nephew, I’ll be ordering those from the army to capture that Gerald! Once we have him, I’ll
be sure to make him suffer terribly!”
Turning to look at the middle-aged man—who was from the royal family—the crazed-looking Hooper
then replied, “There’s no need for that! Once we have him, the Turnbulls will be devouring every inch of
his flesh and drinking all his blood!”N?velDrama.Org ? content.
As he began weeping tears of blood, a voice suddenly shouted, “Do you honestly think that you two
can capture Gerald? You’re both just idiots! It’s really no wonder why your son ended up dying so
terribly! Regardless, knowing that boy’s temper, you don’t have to waste any effort trying to capture
him. He’ll probably be taking the initiative toe look for you! Hahaha! That silly, silly boy! I bet he
thinks that massacring all of you will eventually force me out! Either way, your Turnbulls have zero
chance to escape his wrath by this point. Your threats won’t work against him either since to him,
you’re all quite literally as easy to kill as mere ants!”
Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice… And there, slowly walking
toward them from the middle of the national banquet hall, was an old man donning ck robes…
The second Lenox saw him, he instantly began sweating profusely as he said, “M-master…!”
Following that, he fearfully zipped his mouth tight before kowtowing in the direction of the old man.
Even Hooper and Greyson Leacock—the person who hade from the royal family in the Gloyv
State—grew frightened when they realized that the old man was present.
After both of them greeted him, Hooper then asked, “About what you said earlier… How could you be
so sure, master…?”
“How couldn’t I be? I’m the one who knows him best in this entire world!” retorted the old man as he
slowly took off his ck hood…
If Gerald was here to witness this, he’d surely have been extremely surprised to find out the true
identity of that old man!
From how well the old man knew the boy, he assumed that Gerald would probably think something
along the lines of, ‘It… It was grandpa Daryl this entire time…?! The person who I respected so much
in the past?! I… I don’t think he’s my grandpa anymore… From what I can see, he’s now nothing but a
schemer who’s been acting behind the scenes this entire time!’
Regardless, Gerald would probably feel shocked by his appearance as well. After all, Daryl’s eyes had
now gone fully scarlet, and his lips were a frightening shade of purple and ck. There were even hints
of divine lines on his forehead that glowed red… Together, thisbination made him look like a
human who had made it halfway down the route of bing a true devil…
Smiling subtly, Daryl thenughed before sneering, “I’ve spent way too much time and effort to get my
major n to this point! After all, I had to pretend to be his grandfather for quite a while in order to
manipte him without getting suspected! Even so, it was all worth it since I was able to make and
watch him slowly mature… In a way, what I did isn’t unlike watching a seed I nted slowly grow and
eventually blossom… However, a slight change in ns happened right before I was able to pick the
fruits of my efforts! Though that’s beside the point. Regardless, I’m sure you now know why I said I
know him so well!”
“…Wait. Don’t tell me that… Gerald is the product of the Herculean Golden Base…? I remember
peculiar things happening in the sky over twenty years ago… Following that, the Herculean Golden
Base had sent several forces to explore its product…” said Hooper, greatly bewildered.
As for Greyson, he took in a deep breath before adding, “…You’ve said before that this Herculean
Golden Base is also known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, right, master…? I also recall you saying
that it’s the strongest power between heaven and earth… So strong, in fact, that whoever gains it will
be able to achieve immortality! Thinking back, it was around fifty years ago when you saved a
fisherman couple… Following that, you even gave them a lot of money in order to obtain the Herculean
Golden Base that was about to befall their descendants… Since Gerald is so powerful, could it be that
he’s that heir…?”
“Bingo. Either way, the demonic power granted me not only strength, but also the ability to foresee the
future! With this much power, I’m only able to enjoy myself if my n goes wlessly! Sadly enough, I
didn’t consider the fact that people would secretly try to help Gerald along the way! Thanks to them,
he’s grown a bit too powerful for my taste and my ns were almost ruined!” grumbled Daryl as he
clenched his fists tightly…
