Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1699
Regardless, after the lion was tamed, the rest of the night was rather quiet and uneventful. With that in
mind, Gerald and the four others were well-rested by the time morning came.
Since the South Wastnds wasn’t exactly an area one could call safe, the group of five decided to set
off as early as possible. Naturally, Gerald made sure to open the map first to find out where they were
headed next before actually starting their journey.
Shortly after, he dered that they were headed to Dragonblood City next. With any luck, they’d be
able to find the gem there…
There were many rumors surrounding the ancient Dragonblood City, the most famous one being about
the existence of an ancient Blood Dragon within the city’s grounds. Within said dragon, was supposedly
an object known as the Dragonblood Ball, and whoever managed to obtain the item was said to be able
to gain the powers of the Blood Dragon.
While the tale was certainlypelling, Gerald wasn’t going there in search of the Dragonblood Ball.
He was strictly going after the Scintiting Gem, which was why he showed little interest in obtaining
the Dragonblood Ball.
Either way, Gerald and his group of friends finally arrived at Dragonblood City after walking the entire
morning.
However, just as they were entering the city’s grounds, the group of five watched as several
aggressive-looking people began riding their horses past the city’s gates! Had it not been for their quick
reactions, they’d surely have ended up getting trampled by those horses!
Staring at the riders, each of them seemed to have immensely murderous auras which only served to
amplify how demonic those people were. While terrifying, it certainly set up the premise that they
weren’t ordinary people who could be trifled with.
Regardless, the fact that they had just barely avoided getting hurt prompted Zelig to scowl, “Who the
hell were those brutes?!”
Upon hearing that question, Ray instantly replied, “They’re from the Hulkeroic Union!”
As everyone turned to look at Ray—unsure how he even knew about such a group—Gerald couldn’t
help but ask, “The Hulkeroic Union…?”
Understanding that Gerald and the others wouldn’t know about the Hulkeroic Union since they were
new to the Le Continent, Ray then exined, “They’re a powerful force within Dragonblood City…”
“…I see. Call it a gut feeling, but I feel like they aren’t very nice people!” replied Gerald in a decisive
tone.
Rei simply shrugged without saying another word, his silence a clear sign that what Gerald had stated
was right.
True enough, the Hulkeroic Union was infamous for doing all kinds of outrageous andwbreaking
activities within Dragonblood City. The fact that the force was so strong only served to make its
members more violent during their rampant acts of savagery.
With that in mind, locals of the city knew that it was best to just stay away from them. After all,
offending them would only bring unnecessary trouble to themselves…
Either way, the group then continued strolling around Dragonblood City. The city, for one, was vastly
differentpared to the area around Le Academy…
As they were walking on, the group suddenly heard a woman screaming!
After exchanging nces with each other, all five of them then hurried over to the source of the
sound…
By the time they got there, they witnessed four men dragging a young woman into an alleyway! Some
of them had even begun tearing her clothes off! To think that such heinous activities would ur, even
in broad daylight!
During times like these, someone needed to y the role of a white knight. Thankfully enough, Gerald
was best at doing that.

With that, the group immediately charged into the alleyway together…
