    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2023


    “Look, I really have no idea where he is! Please stop asking me!” replied Tarek, worried that if he let


    anything slip out, Gerald would surely have his head. However, if the men kept pressing on, then the


    main family would end him instead…!


    “If you refuse toply, I’ll simply bring you to the Penalty Division right now to let the elder in charge


    personally question you!” retorted the same man as he grabbed Tarek by his cor. At that moment, a


    woman rushed out of a room while yelling, “D-don’t! We’ll tell you everything we know…!”


    Though they had never seen the elder of the Penalty Division before—since they had been living on


    Gong Ind their entire lives—, they had heard many horrifying things about him from Terenzio over


    the years.


    One of the crueler punishments they’ve heard was about a person who was sentenced to get bitten by


    a hundred snakes just because he left Yearning Ind without permission. Listening to the punishment


    alone was enough to send chills running down anyone’s spine…


    Regardless, upon hearing that, the man then released Tarek’s cor before asking, “So, where’s


    Terenzio?”


    “H-he was killed by Gerald two days ago…! We tossed his body into the seast night…! We… We had


    no choice…! If we didn’t listen to his orders, Gerald could’ve easily killed us…!” whimpered the woman


    as she immediately knelt…

    Hearing that, the two men then exchanged nces before one of them said, “So, Will was right. Gerald


    did kill Terenzio!”


    Gulping, Tarek then knelt as well before muttering, “N-now that you know all this, could you please


    spare us, Sirs…?”


    “Whether you get to escape punishment or not is up to the Penalty Division,” said one of the men as


    the duo turned to leave, leaving Tarek and the woman kneeling behind them… Regrouping with the two


    other men—who had descended the ship—in the courtyard, the duo then said, “Tarek confessed that


    Terenzio was killed by Gerald. Apparently, his corpse was thrown into the sea.”


    “I see… then… should we take action now?”


    “I suppose. However, remember that Mr. Will told us not to kill Gerald. It may be his way of testing our


    strength.”


    “Indeed. Then we should all remember to keep our strength in check. In the end, he’s still the chief’s


    grandson, and we can’t afford to hurt someone like that too much…”


    With all four of them agreeing with that, they then left the area…


    Meanwhile, Gerald himself had already snuck into the ship. While he was able to map out the entire


    ship within minutes, he couldn’t find any valuable information about Yearning Ind at all! It was just an


    ordinary ship…


    With that in mind, Gerald knew better than to remain on the ship any longer. Since the ship wasn’t


    providing him with any clues, he’d just have to investigate those who came in it.


    Once he got off the ship, he then used his Herculean Primordial Spirit to detect the movements of


    everyone on the ind… Soon enough, he was able to find a total of four people who hadn’t been on


    the ind before. From what he could tell, they all had about the same strength as Terenzio. In other


    words, they weren’t very strong.


    Looking in the direction where the cultivators were, he then swiftly made his way toward them… Upon


    seeing them, Gerald walked up to the four astonished men as he asked, “Are the four of you from


    Yearning Ind?”


    Hearing that, the leader of their team then took a step forward, staring at Gerald as he said, “Before


    that, are you Gerald Crawford? If you are, we’re here to meet you under Mr. Will Crawford’s orders.”
