Ch. 986..990: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 986-990

Chapter 986

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 986 Frank giggled and nodded his head, indicating for Gerald to eat the next plate.

“What is this?”

“What? Eagle’s eyes? Oh no…”

Gerald felt nauseated when he saw the plate of bright red things.

Frank would only let Gerald leave if he finished everything on the table.

“What kind of place is this?!” Gerald retched multiple times as he asked himself that question.

What he could not imagine was things were getting worse.

For the entire month, Gerald had to eat those hundred-year-old snake galls and take baths in a pool of herbs.

Gerald was only familiar with the baths because Finnley had trained him like that.

However, Gerald did feel that this pool of herb was much more effective than Finnley’s because, within a month, he was much stronger.

They hadn’t meant to use the Ginseng King, but within a month, they had separated the Ginseng King into 30 portions just for Gerald to consume.

They all tried everything they could to help Gerald become stronger. But who were they?

“I’m not eating these anymore. Take them away from me!” Gerald finally burst out when Frank brought in some food for him.

Frank got nervous, and he tried to ask Gerald what had happened.

“Who wants to see me and where are the Mighty Four Kingsmen? Who was that elder that brought me here? What do you guys want, and why is the person trapping me here but not even coming to see me?!” Gerald was going crazy after he had been here for a month.

He pushed Frank aside, and he walked out the door.

If nobody was there to see him, there had to be someone there that was in charge here.

Gerald finally came out, but there was not a single shadow in this big black palace. He walked into a forest, and he finally saw some people there.

A few kids were playing around, but then he realized that it was a group of boys bullying a girl. When Gerald walked toward them, the boys immediately ran off, leaving the girl crying on the ground.

She was drawing circles with her finger on the ground as she cried.

Gerald walked beside her. “Are you okay?”

The girl got startled, and she lifted her head to glance at Gerald as she pulled her hand back.

“I thought only those people in black were here. Who’d know there were even kids like you here!” Gerald smiled.

However, the little girl seemed like she was afraid of Gerald. She just stared at him quietly.

Gerald smiled at her and took out a packet of biscuits. “Biscuits?”

The little girl’s expression immediately brightened up.

“It’s for you! Eat it!” Gerald patted her on her head.

Gerald looked at her smiling. “What did you draw?”

The little girl was not afraid of Gerald anymore.

Kids were easily satisfied.

She pointed to the left and said, “That’s my mommy, and next to her is my daddy. The one behind is my grandmother!”

“Are they on this island with you too?” Gerald asked.

The little girl stuffed her mouth with the biscuits and shook her head. “They are not with me. They were buried underground by the masters here. They said that they will be sleeping for a very long time!

“I’m waiting for them to come and get me!” The little girl said.

Gerald’s felt a stab in his heart when he heard what she had said.

“What about the other kids?”

“They are the same as me too. Their family members are all sleeping, and now, we are living on this island together!” The little girl said as she finished the first packet of biscuits.

She then mustered all her strength to open up another packet of biscuits, but she was still too young, and she could not open it.

Gerald felt terrible watching her. “Come, let me help you…”

 

Chapter 987

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 987 “What are you guys doing on this island? Did they force you to stay?” Gerald wanted to find out more.

Gerald even started to suspect that the people from Soul Palace had killed these children’s parents and snatched them.

“Young Master Gerald, you’ve thought too much. We saved these children and raised them!” An elder was standing behind Gerald.

He wore a black robe, but his face was not covered.

He walked over and patted the little girl’s head gently. “Little girl, try not to snack on this kind of food in the future, you hear me?”

“Yes, Grandpa Welson. Would you like some biscuits too?” The little girl asked.

“No, thank you. You can have them. Remember to finish up your homework after that. If Hewsky and the boys bully you again, you must come and tell me!”

“Thank you, Grandpa Welson and Big Brother. I’m leaving now!” The girl took the biscuits and ran off after she had said thank you.

“Who are you?” Gerald glanced at the elder and asked.

“It has only been a month, Gerald. You don’t recognize me anymore?” The elder smiled.

“I remember now! You were the one who asked the kingsmen to follow me around!”

“I’m Welson Freed. Everyone on this island calls me Master Welson!” Welson smiled as he shook his head.

“I was looking for you. You said you were going to bring me to see someone. I’ve been here for so long, shouldn’t you let me see that person already?” Gerald was angry.

“I believe you’ve been eating those foods for a month now. I can tell from your energy that the impurities in your body have been completely detoxed with the help of the Ginseng King. Today, I’m here to bring you to see him!” Welson smiled. “After you, Gerald!”

Gerald frowned, but he did not say anything. He just followed him from behind.

There were buildings on one side of the island, and as they got nearer to the buildings, there were many extraordinary men in black guarding it.

Gerald was brought into the biggest palace that seemed like a very royally ancient palace.

There was a stage before Gerald, and an old man was standing before him with his back facing Gerald. He was staring at a very big piece of map.

“Grandmaster, Gerald is here!” Welson bowed down rigorously.

“You can leave now!” The old man waved his hand with his back still facing them, and Welson left.

“I believe we don’t know each other?” Gerald queried.

“Yes, you don’t know me, but I do know you! The only heir of the Crawfords, Young Master Gerald Crawford! Oh yes, I almost forgot, you’re also the Yowells’ live-in son-in-law, and they chased you away after they thought you were a coward!”

Gerald blushed. He was indeed a coward all because he had wanted to look for the Ginseng King and thus, he had become other people’s live-in son-in-law.

“That is my personal matter. It’s none of your concern. I’d also like to thank you for all the precious gifts that made me so powerful!” Gerald tried to change the topic.

“Your personal matter? I don’t think you understand the shame you’ve brought to your family!” The elder slammed on the marble chair as he turned around.

They made eye contact, and Gerald could finally see this elder clearly. He had a full head of luscious hair and a young face. His eyes were bright and clear, and he seemed very elegant and respectable.

Chapter 988

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 988 For some reason, Gerald felt strange as he looked at that old man, and under that pressure, he even felt embarrassed and looked down.

“Hahaha!” The old man laughed loudly. “It seems like my grandson does indeed understand what he did wrong!”

“Grandson?”

Gerald was stunned. “You’re…”

“You’ve not greeted me ever since you stepped in here. I’m your grandfather, Daryl, you silly boy!” He laughed as he sat on a marble chair.

“You’re my grandfather?! I… I thought you went missing?”

Gerald had never heard anything about his grandparents ever since young, and his father had only told him that his grandfather had been missing for more than a decade.

They had looked for him, but there had been no news of him, and Gerald had always thought that his grandfather had already passed away. Never did he expect that his grandfather was alive, and he was actually the owner of Colonel Island’s Soul Palace!

“You seem surprised?” Daryl looked at him happily.

“Yes, I am! I’m very surprised, Grandfather!”

Gerald finally understood why he had felt so strange earlier on.

“Have you always been on Colonel Island and established the Soul Palace?” Gerald asked in shock.

“Yes. I left the Crawfords, and I left everything to young Dylan back then. It has been 35 years!”

“Come, Gerald. Sit next to me and let me tell you some stories!” Daryl smiled.

Gerald sat on the marble chair.

“How many things do you know about your grandfather?” Daryl asked.

“I only know that you left my father 35 years ago after you both had a big fight. You gave up the position as the family’s grandmaster and never came back. I tried asking my father about you, but he didn’t say much!”

“It seems like Dylan did not tell you anything about the picture of the sun!”

“The picture of the sun?”

“Yes. It is a confidential picture that is passed down from our ancestors, and the content of it contains great knowledge. The Crawfords have always been so powerful and wealthy because we possess the guidance of the picture of the sun. But then, I realized that the picture of the sun predicted that within 50 years, the Crawfords would be gone forever, and the picture of the sun has never lied!” Daryl said.

“I’ve heard about that from my father, and he said that within these few years, the Crawfords might end up bankrupt or dead!” Gerald recalled what his father had told him.

“Yes, that was what I told him too. I’ve always been searching for an answer, and hopefully one day, I might understand what the picture of the sun was trying to say. Until 35 years ago, I finally found a new answer, and I even got a method of survival that is hundred years old, even before the Crawfords

existed. Before your father, every generation of the Crawfords knew a thing or two about martial arts. Your dad broke the chain, and that is why I’ve never liked him!” Daryl said.

“Is that why you established the Soul Palace?” Gerald finally knew more secrets about what had happened.

“Yes. I’ve been doing my research, and I found this isolated location to build my reputation. I even gathered some powers to protect my family from being banished!”

“Gerald, you’re very lucky to have people helping you train your skills. That is why I was very happy when my people reported back to me!”

“Does that mean that you knew my master, Finnley? Is he one of your people too?” Gerald asked.

Daryl shook his head. “I don’t know him. However, I did some research on his background, and I found something that surprised me. My informants are all around the world, and there is nothing that I wouldn’t know about, but your master, Finnley Quick, gave me a hard time. I believe Finnley Quick is not even his real name! One thing for sure is that he is a great and powerful master, his skills are far more excellent than mine!”

Chapter 989

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 989 “He’s greater than you?” Gerald was shocked.

Daryl nodded his head with a smile. “It doesn’t matter if he’s our friend or enemy because he has saved you and taught you some very solid basics. If it wasn’t because of him, I wouldn’t see you so quickly!”

“I wanted you to have a solid foundation so that you could go through the hellish transformation. It would usually take three years to build up this kind of foundation. However, your body is pretty solid, and with the help of the Ginseng King, your body has everything it needs for you to survive the hellish transformation!” Daryl said.

“The hellish transformation?” Gerald was confused once again.

“Yes. It is something I got out of the picture of the sun, and because of this, I’ve acquired skills that normal people don’t have and become one of the legends! Honestly, your requirements are better than mine!”

“Legends? I’ve heard about that from Finnley. He mentioned that when warriors are trained to a certain level, they will gain inner strength and become champions. After becoming champions, they will stand a chance to be legends, but only the best of the best could become champions, and legends are beyond the realm of mysteries. Grandfather, you’re already one of the legends?” Gerald’s interest was piqued.

Gerald had received many secrets of nourishment from Finnley, and now that he had completely consumed the Ginseng King, he had truly become a champion. However, his grandfather was actually from one of the legends from the realm of mysteries?

“Yes. I became a legend 20 years ago! I’ve also trained a small number of warriors here to become a mid-level or high-level champion through the hellish transformation. Your skills can only be at the beginner level!” Daryl laughed.

“No wonder your people are so strong and mysterious! They are all champions!”

“Hah! Anyone here could beat you up ten times! But don’t you worry, because I’ll use up all of the resources for the hellish transformation on you, and I’ll even teach you the ways. Gerald, from today onward, you will be the future of the Crawfords!”

“So this is what your plan wais all about!” Gerald finally understood.

“But…” Daryl seemed worried.

“What is it?”

“It’s just, after the hellish transformation, your powers would improve tremendously, and you’ll receive the blessing of the dragons. You won’t have the body of a normal person anymore, and there will be side effects, which is your personality. You’ll be very different from who you are right now. It took me decades to tone down too!”

“And all this is because I have great powers to suppress it. I’m afraid that once you can’t control the blessing of the dragons within you, you might become…” Daryl hesitated. “You might become a bloodthirsty demon and kill as you like!”

“But don’t you worry! I’ve been observing you since young, and you are a very kind-hearted person just like your mother. You’ll never fight for powers, and I believe you can control the powers within you!” Daryl patted Gerald on his shoulders.

Gerald needed the powers. He needed to get stronger. He understood that money could not protect the people he loved, and only power, the power to control everything could.

“Your second uncle, Peter, was also the right person to go through the hellish transformation, but unfortunately…” A hint of sorrow flashed through Daryl’s eyes.

“Fortunately enough, the Crawfords have you, Gerald. You’re our new hope. You can get used to Colonel Island first. A week later, the hellish transformation will start, and it will go on for half a year. For this one week, I’ll also prepare the space for you. Gerald… I know you’re going to go through a lot of pain soon, but… this isn’t something that you can run away from. As the next generation of the Crawfords, this is your duty! Are you afraid?”

“No!”

Their conversation lasted until midnight.

Seven days later, the grandmaster of the Soul Palace, Daryl, brought along his grandson, Gerald, and entered the mysterious space.

The grandmaster had commanded everyone that within this half a year, nobody should disturb them.

…

Half a year later.

Heavenly City’s Triangle District.

There were rows of cars parked at the roadside, and there were few hundreds of people.

Everyone was waiting for their leader as if they were waiting for their hero to return.

Whoosh!

Soon, a helicopter drew closer, and it stopped in front of everyone.

The door of the helicopter opened, and a bald guy walked out of it with a group of people following him.

Chapter 990

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 990 The bald guy had a scar on his face, and he looked very fierce.

“Boss Sven, you’re finally back!” Someone shouted.

“Sven! Sven!” Everyone cheered. They were all expressing their overdue emotions after half a year. Their king, Heavenly City’s king, was finally back.

Who else could it be if it was not Sven Westmore?

“Boss Sven, you’ve been away to further your studies in the culinary arts field for so long, and now, Heavenly City has changed! Your brother…”

Sven waved his hand coldly to ask everyone to keep quiet. “I know about everything that has happened. Leif has been killed, our sites have been intruded, and the Ginseng King is gone. I know everything!”

“Royal Dragon Group? They really think that there is no Westmore left in Heavenly City?” Sven’s eyes were cold and sharp.

The Royal Dragon Group.

“Where did the boss go? There is still no news?”

“We only know that he went north, and he’s in Weston. Even the people from Japan have sent people to look for him, but there is no news regarding the boss!”

“Continue to search for him!” Drake was furious.

Drake, Tyson, and Whistler were walking up and down the office anxiously.

It had been half a year, and Royal Dragon Group had been one of the strongest organizations in the Triangle District. They had the most sites as compared to the other organizations around them. However, the news about their missing boss would soon be spread out, and the other organizations would start to target them.

“Mr. Jay, Mr. Sankey, things are bad!” One of their subordinates came in terrified.

“Why do you look like someone just died?”

“It’s Sven! Sven is back, and he has brought along his people. They are outside!” The man said.

“What?” The three of them looked at each other and ran out hurriedly.

As they reached the door, both parties were already fighting.

Many people from Royal Dragon Group were lying on the ground.

They saw two men trying to strike Sven with their machetes, but Sven did not even bother to dodge it.

The machete landed on Sven’s body, but it immediately broke, and the two men backed off.

“I was thinking what’s so great about Royal Dragon Group. It seems like their people are just very ordinary!” Sven sneered as he shook his head.

“Oh? There are even two losers here. I think you guys have lived long enough!” Sven said.

Drake shouted, “Let’s kill him!”

The three of them charged toward Sven.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three of them soon lay on the ground after taking three punches from Sven.

Sven wiped off the blood on his hands and smiled. “Bring them back and take back what’s ours…”

Everything happened in the glimpse of an eye, and the three of them were brought away, leaving the ground splattered with blood stains…
