Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2177
“As you’ve said, the Yamashitas don’t contact other families a lot, but putting that aside… You have the
Herculean Primordial Spirit within you, correct?” asked the old man after staring at Gerald for a while.
Upon hearing that, Gerald could only chuckle awkwardly. Though the old man had seen through him,
he didn’t really want to admit it. After all, Gerald was well aware that talented and capable people were
targeted a lot. In fact, it was exactly because of his power that resulted in his trouble with the military
department as well as the threerge families of Yanam!
“So it is true… Well, I’m just d that you know how to conceal your treasure well,” added the old man
with a grin.

Nodding slowly, Gerald then looked at the old man for a while before finally asking, “Who… exactly are
you, old man…? I’m sure you’re not just the elder of the Yamashita family, right…?”
Gerald had a multitude of questions in his head. First off, how was a Westoner the elder of the
Yamashita family? How had he gotten involved in this family rumored to have ninjas? And how did he
even know about the Herculean Primordial Spirit? Not many cultivators from Weston even knew about
it!
Upon hearing Gerald’s question, the old man’s tone suddenly became serious as he replied, “… Do
you really wish to know?”
Watching as Gerald nodded in response, the old man then sighed as his cloudy eyes momentarily
hinted that he was reminiscing… And shortly after, the old man said, “Well… For one, I knew your
grandfather pretty well back then… We used to travel together in Weston many years ago, you know?
Unfortunately, we ended up parting ways due to our differing opinions… Truth be told, when I first saw
you, I almost thought you were him. You’re his spitting image, from your physique,
Appearance, right down to your personality!”
“… What? You know Daryl?” replied Gerald as he instantly frowned. With how tightly he was holding
onto the now quivering teacup, the old man felt that if Gerald gripped any harder, the cup would surely
shatter.
…
“I did… Well, the old him, at least Also, he’s your grandfather, no? Why are you calling him by his
name?” asked the old man as he raised a slight brow.
“I’d very much prefer not to have a grandfather like him,” replied Gerald with a snort.
While it was true that the grandfather he remembered as a child was a kind old man before he
disappeared from his life, the revtion that Daryl was his parents’ and sister’s abductor was simply
too much for Gerald to willingly overlook.
Regardless, upon hearing that, the shocked old man was prompted to ask, “Is… there some sort of
misunderstanding between the two of you…?”
“I’d rather not talk about him, old man… Either way, I’m just wondering if you helped us back then due
to the fact that I’m Daryl’s grandson?” replied Gerald as he raised his hand to stop the old man from
asking any further.
“… No, of course not. I merely felt like talking about him since you’re his descendant. Regardless, the
main reason I helped you is because you’re currently hosting the Herculean Primordial Spirit,”
exined the old man as he shook his head with a smile.
Suddenly feeling much more vignt, Gerald then asked, “…Could you borate?”
If this old man truly was after his Herculean Primordial Spirit, then he would have to figure out how to
quickly leave this ce with Fujiko. Naturally, that meant that he would have to offend yet another
powerful family…
Looking at how vignt Gerald had suddenly be, the old man couldn’t help butugh before
saying, “It’s a long story. If you’re interested in hearing the full thing, do stay for a few more days. In
return, I just want you to update me on Daryl’s situation. After all, it’s been ages since I’vest met
him.”
“… Deal!” replied Gerald.
