    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1580


    Looking at the change in Gerald’s expression, Master Ghost wanted to say something, though he


    ended up zipping his mouth tight.


    M herself simply lowered her head out of guilt.


    Though there were barely any changes in their expressions, Gerald was still able to notice them.


    “…And what about those from the Ringmasters of Obliteration? Did theye over to cause trouble


    again?” asked Gerald.


    “They’ve always been pestering us! We’re honestly already used to them!”


    “I see. And how are my parents and sister?” asked Gerald with a slightly raised brow.


    “…About… that…” replied Master Ghost as his face turned slightly pale…


    Even the ten elders found themselves lowering their heads even more, not even daring to breathe…


    As for M, tears soon began rolling down her cheeks.


    Watching as she covered her mouth in her grief, Gerald then barked, “What’s wrong? What happened


    to them?”


    Hearing that, M only cried even louder as the ten elders knelt.


    Gulping, Master Ghost then replied, “…It was about a year ago when we had a fierce battle with the


    Quantocks… However, during that battle, the Quartermains showed themselves as well! We were


    never their match… In the end, they dered that not only did they want Miss Smith back, but they also


    wanted you dead! Following that, they gave us three days to Miss Smith over to them. If we didn’t


    comply, they told us that they’d wipe out the entire city!”


    His eyes now reddened, Gerald then asked, “What happened after that?!”


    “…The… Quartermains didn’t even care one bit about the agreement they had with the Ringmasters of


    Obliteration… With that said, they ended up killing several people in the Crawford family! Young Master


    Yoel, in particr, had his eyes gouged out and his tongue sliced off just because he wanted to argue


    with them! Not only that, Elder Julian’s arm got chopped off as well!”

    Upon hearing that, Gerald’s heart thumped as he muttered, “…Yoel…”


    Thinking about his godbrother, Gerald had to admit that Yoel had suffered way too much ever since he


    got to know Gerald. He was supposed to be enjoying life now… Instead, he ended up getting tortured


    that badly because of Gerald…


    As for Julian…


    Turning to look at the old man, he realized that one of his arms really was missing. Lifting Julian’s


    empty sleeve, Gerald’s eyes began welling up with tears.


    After staring nkly at the sleeve for a while, Julian—who also had watery eyes now—cleared his


    throat before saying, “I… hope you haven’t forgotten that I’m left-handed… Thankfully they chose to


    chop my right arm off… Regardless, I find my current state to be much morefortable…!”


    Shaking his head, Gerald then turned to stare coldly at Master Ghost before asking, “…What else


    happened?”


    “We had hidden Miss Smith rather early on back then, so she didn’t know about all this at the time…


    Regardless, I was well aware that they weren’t only here for Miss Smith. It was quite evident that they


    were also trying to conquer the source of the holy spirits for the Quartermains! Had they seeded,


    they would’ve surely been able to support the Quantocks to get rid of you and be the new King of


    the North! With that in mind, none of the Sacrasolis Pce members told them your location, even


    though it brought about their deaths!”


    “While they did terrible things to Young Master Yoel, that was only the first half of their warning to you.


    Following that, they even broke the Old Master and Old Mistress’s legs before chaining them up! They


    even took Miss Crawford away, saying that they’d make her a ve of the Quartermains for a hundred


    years!” replied Master Ghost.


    “What?!” roared the enraged Gerald whose essential qi was now overflowing from his body, his eyes


    burning with murderous intent.


    “…It was my idea to keep this a secret from you, at least for a while, master… After all, if you made a


    hasty appearance, they’d surely kill you on the spot! Once that happens, everything will truly be over!


    The Quantocks would surely murder the rest of us and following that, they’d be crowned the new King


    of the North!”


    “Regardless, since we still contributed quite a bit to the Ringmasters of Obliteration in recent years,


    despite our conflicts, they ended up interceding in the end. After some negotiating, they gave us one


    year to bring Miss Smith back to them. You would also have to ept your death penalty then! In their


    words, ‘Your death is the only way the rest of the Crawfords will be able to remain alive!’” cried out


    Master Ghost as he knelt to the ground before wailing.


    Though Gerald was furious, he knew that this was already the best result they could’ve ever hoped to


    achieve. Any other oue would’ve surely led to all of them getting ughtered by the Quantocks…


    Had that happened, Gerald wasn’t even able to imagine how many lives would end up being sacrificed,


    just because of him…


    Even so, his sister… his family… This wasn’t something he could just tolerate!


    Just thinking about it made him clench his fists tightly…
