The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1581

Meanwhile, at the back of the mountain in Sacrasolis Palace.

Gerald had previously rented a manor here as a residence for Mila and his family.

For this reason, it had been named Crawford Manor.

Within this year, Gerald had also refined the source stones in the source of the holy spirit.

He was planning to move the whole pool of the source of the holy spirit to Crawford Island in Northbay.

By then, he would be able to restore the Crawford family’s business, and his Sacrasolis Palace would become their headquarters.

However, this was a very huge project. It wouldn’t be completed within ten years.

So, he had built this manor as their temporary home.

In the manor, a chubby man was crawling on the ground. He had lost his eyes, and he couldn’t talk. Moreover, the tendons of his legs and hands were all torn.

This made his life extremely inconvenient.

And on one side, Gerald’s parents were sitting in wheelchairs.

They were ordering the servants to help the chubby man up.

“Be careful. Don’t let Yoel fall!”

Dylan said with considerable concern.

“Old Master, Young Master Yoel seems to be writing something on the floor!” said the servant.

“What is he writing?” asked Dylan.

“He is writing ‘When will Brother come out? Is Sister still alive?’” said the servant. “Young Master Yoel has been writing these things for days!”

“Sigh!” Dylan sighed helplessly.

He looked sick.

“Just let him write. Maybe he will feel better this way!”

Dylan closed his eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Right then, Dylan and his wife froze when they looked at the doorway, and they choked up.

Similarly, Gerald’s eyes watered.

This was because even the servant had not noticed that Gerald had been standing there for quite some time.

“Yoel, Dad, Mum! I’m back!” Gerald shouted.

Dylan and his wife trembled as they sobbed violently.

Clatter!

As for Yoel, his whole body stiffened, and he dropped the pen onto the floor.

“Ah! Ah!”

Yoel struggled to get up from the ground.

His tongue had been cut out by the Quantock, hence, he could not speak.

However, Gerald knew what he was trying to say.

Five years ago, after he had defeated Daryl, he had brought Yoel and his family to Yanam. He had intended to let Yoel manage the assets of the Crawford family so that he could live a carefree life. But unexpectedly, he had caused him to become like this!

“Yoel, I’m back!”

He picked Yoel up, his eyes filled with tears.

His sister had been abducted, brought to Jaellatra, and made a slave for the Quartermain family while his family had been tortured.

After his seclusion, Gerald had indeed received a big blow.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1582

The flame of hatred ignited and spread to every inch of Gerald’s body. Everyone in the Sacrasolis Palace seemed to be able to feel his rage.

So, over the next few days, nobody dared to even get one step closer to Gerald.

“Where is this Quantock family?”

One day, Gerald summoned all the ten elders and asked.

“The Quantock family is currently based in the southeast coastal region of Sunniva City. They are a new rising family supported by the Quartermain family in Jaellatra. The Quartermain family uses them to conquer the sources of the holy spirit. At the same time, they want to make them the new King in the North! The current leader of the Quantock family is called Zaki Quantock. He is a very strong man, and I’m sure that he is at least in the Rune Realm. Moreover, many of his followers are very powerful, and more importantly, they are supported by one of the forces in Jaellatra!” Mr. Ghost explained.

“So, what I can say is, if you want to seek revenge against him now, you are simply asking for your own death!”

Mr. Ghost voiced his concern.

“I’m aware of this. That’s why I have been thinking these days, and I have thought of a plan to solve this problem!”

Based on what Mila knew, since the Quantock family had the Quartermain family as their backers, it would mean that the latter was indeed very powerful. It was highly likely that there were strong cultivators who were already in the Sage Realm in the Quartermain family. There might even be Diaterras.

It was highly possible as they had been in power for so long and hence, they were already deeply rooted in Jaellatra.

Although Gerald had his Herculean Primordial Spirit to help him cultivate at a much faster speed as compared to other people, he wouldn’t dare to act too carelessly.

Honestly speaking, he had been very fortunate in the battle against Daryl Crawford. Luckily, Daryl was only a third-rank Chakra King. If he had also been a fifth-rank Chakra King like him at that time, the spell would have been powerful enough to destroy him, and he would undoubtedly not have had the ability to block it.

Furthermore, it was the Quartermain family they were facing this time.

“Master, what good plan have you devised?” asked Mr. Ghost.

“I will first treat Yoel and my parents until they recover. So far, I have found a well-hidden secret location. I want to relocate the whole Sacrasolis Palace and the Crawford family into that place and go into hiding. Before I come back, you must never appear in public. As for the source of the holy spirit, I have made it into enough potions to supply the members of the Sacrasolis Palace in their cultivation. There shouldn’t be any problems for the next five years! As for this source of the holy spirit in Yanam, you can just announce its location to the public. I don’t believe that the other forces would just stand and watch the Quantock family keep it for themselves!” Gerald said.

“I understand. Then, Master, are you really planning to go to look for Primocorose?”

Mr. Ghost could already guess it after he had given some thought to his plan.

“Well, I have pondered about this for quite some time. Although I don’t dare to aspire to become a Diaterra, becoming a Sage is still possible if I get the right chance and practice hard. Anyway, I must first find Primocorose.” said Gerald.

Currently, the only way he could protect himself was perhaps by becoming a Sage.

Frankly speaking, if he was already a Sage now, would the Quartermain family be this reckless?

If he became a Sage, he would at least have the power to protect himself when he faced the Quartermain family.

At the very least, he would not always be in the submissive position.

“This is indeed a good plan to deal with the Quantock family for now. But Master, although you have the map, the task of searching for Primocorose is still very difficult, what’s more, to become a Sage. So, I personally hope that you can stay and hide together with us!”

Thinking about the obstacles to becoming a Sage, Mr. Ghost gave his suggestion.

Even Carlos and the others nodded in approval.

To be honest, even Julian and the rest could see that Gerald had reached his maximum potential in cultivation when he had broken through to the eighth rank in Rune Realm.

If he was able to reach the ninth rank, it would be considered a great fortune in his life already. Not to mention, finding the ancient herb, Primocorose, was a tough row to hoe. Even after he had really found it, it would still be very difficult to enter the Sage Realm because the herb was only one of the conditions that he must meet to become a Sage.

Hence, it could be said that everyone was not very optimistic about the idea.

Although Gerald could understand their concerns, he had made up his mind after seven days of contemplating the issue.

“Alright, stop trying to persuade me already. Tonight, we shall relocate. From then onward, there will be no more King in the North, no more Sacrasolis Palace, and no more Crawford family. Three days later, it will be Mila’s and my wedding day. Let us all have a good party and get drunk that night!” Gerald said cheerfully.

Seeing that Gerald had made up his mind, his subordinates had nothing more to say.

Everyone immediately revealed their smiling faces. “Great. We shall now focus on the preparation for the wedding of Master and Miss Smith!”

“Forget about the Quantock and Quartermain family. Forget about the Ringmasters of Obliteration. Get lost already, all of them! From now on, we will only focus on cultivating and waiting for Master to return with great success!”

Carlos shouted with a big smile.

The crackling sound of the fire…

Late at night.

The sound of the bonfire was heard as the dark green fire burned brightly. It was very much like the sound of popping popcorns.

Gerald was sitting beside the fire. As he added firewood to the fire, he looked up to survey the surrounding dense green forest.

In the dark night, the dense forest seemed to be even eerier.

And in the cold forest, even Gerald, who was a Chakra King, had to keep himself warm with fire.

He was no longer on the surface of Earth, but he had gone to Jaellatra.

His wedding with Mila was already an occasion from nearly a month ago.

Although Gerald had gotten the Crawford family and Sacrasolis Palace settled down and was finally married to Mila, he did not feel relieved at all.

This was because he could never know when such wonderful and warm moments would be gone again with the Quantock family preying on them all the time and the Quartermain family always ready to launch an attack.

Gerald did not have the strength to fight back at all. Therefore, he had to become even stronger in order to protect his family.

So, Gerald had gone to Jaellatra alone. His current location was the outskirts of Jaellatra, a place called Earth Capital.

According to the notes on the map, Primocorose should be here somewhere.

Although this place was in the underground world, there was the core of the Earth, which functioned like the Sun. So, it wasn’t much different from the world on the surface of Earth.

For instance, there were mountains, rivers, and dense forests, just like the one he was in now. This world was like a reflection of the surface of Earth in general.

After being here for a month, Gerald was long familiar with the environment here.

There were a lot of demonic creatures in the forest. Gerald had even encountered some huge prehistoric creatures here.

And what Gerald had been eating was none other than these prehistoric creatures that he had acquired from hunting.

“Hmph, you brat. So, you were here!”

Right then, the trees suddenly swayed, and three shadows appeared at lightning speed from a direction.

They were three middle-aged men with a rugged appearance, and they stood boldly before Gerald.

“I must say, it must have been hard for you to have kept looking for me since the last time we met, right?”

Gerald took a piece of meat from beside the bonfire and put it into his mouth.

These three men were the natives in Earth Capital, and they were also robbers.

In this forest, many people had been killed by them.

Besides, the cultivation levels of these three were not low. One of them was a Nine-rank Master, and the other two were Third-rank Chakra Kings.

Back when Gerald had first come into the forest, they had already pestered him.

However, Gerald, who was not familiar with the situation, had just let them go every time they met.

Out of his expectation, the three had found him again after several days.

“It looks like you will not spare me easily this time?” Gerald said with a smile.

“Of course. Brat, you should ask around. In this area, there are very few people who can escape from our hands, what’s more with just you alone?”

The three sneered as they approached Gerald.

It seemed as though they wanted to make Gerald pay the price for sure this time.

Staring at the bonfire, Gerald had already moved his fingers, preparing to fight at any time. Since this had happened so many times, he had already decided not to give them any mercy anymore. It would be better for him to finish the three of them here, or he would have a lot of trouble to deal with in the future.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Right at that moment, the sound of footsteps was heard once more from another direction.

Seven people were walking toward Gerald.

Their appearance took Gerald and the three by surprise.

Among the seven people, there were six men and a woman.

The leader of the group was an old man with messy hair. He had a cane in his hand, and it seemed that he was blind.

However, he could walk very fast as if there was wind carrying his feet.

They had a strong hostile aura.
