Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1527
Realizing that all of them had heard the same thing, everyone turned to look at the doorway…
Following that, a young priest who was trembling in fear walked into the room…
Staring at him, Hoyt then asked in a cold voice, “What is it-”
Before his question could even end, a figure—who had been hiding behind the priest’s back—slowly revealed
himself. Naturally, it was Gerald.
It took Hoyt a moment, but when he finally realized who the youth was, he found himself muttering, “…You… You’re
Gerald from the Crawford family, no?”
“Bingo!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
“M-master Crawford…! I’ve already led you here! You… You promised you’d spare my life once I did that, right…?”
stuttered the priest fearfully.
The second his sentence ended, however, Gerald simply flicked the back of his palm against the priest’s skull… and

dissipated into a bloody mist!
What a joke… As if Gerald would’ve ever considered sparing his life!
Regardless, Hoyt and the others were momentarily stunned speechless. As it turned out, Gerald was actually pretty
skillful!
“Young brother Gerald!” announced Master Ghost who couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
“Master Ghost! I’m so sorry that you had to suffer this much just because I was a little late!” replied Gerald as he,
too, nodded in relief when he saw that Master Ghost was still alive.
Before anyone could say another word, Hoyt slammed both his hands against his table before shouting, “We’ve
been searching for you for so long… To think that you’d actually come to our doorstep on your own accord! Very
well, then! You’ve truly saved me a lot of trouble and manpower!”
The second his sentence ended, Hoyt’s figure seemed to waver for a moment… and the next thing anyone knew,
he was already standing before Gerald!
Even the eight experts—who were standing on both sides of the room—were already armed and seemingly ready
to attack at any moment.
From what Gerald could see, some of the experts were Japanese, whereas the others were from other foreign
regions.
“Is he the one, Chief Crawford? Is the Herculean Primordial Spirit really inside his body?” asked one of the eight
people as they exchanged glances among each other with joyous expressions on their faces.
“That’s right! Speaking of which, I’d like to remind all of you that it was the Crawfords who had spent a great deal of
time and effort to nurture the Herculean Primordial Spirit. With that said, you’ll still have to listen to the Crawford
family’s commands if you wish to even get a share of the pie, understood?” warned Hoyt.
“That’s only natural!” replied all eight of them gleefully.
“You know, I’ve heard from Luthor that the Crawfords of Northbay are nothing more than a tool to your half of the
family. Does that mean that the Crawfords of Northbay were created just so you could nurture the Herculean
Primordial Spirit within me?” asked Gerald in slight disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh? It appears that you’re quite smart! Every word you said was pretty much true! Regardless, we’ll be harvesting
the Herculean Primordial Spirit in advance due to some changes!” replied Hoyt.
“I see… While I’m sure that you’ll be getting rid of my family members sooner or later, I can’t imagine why you
guys are being so ruthless. So what if we’re vastly different? In the end, we’re still from the same family, no?”
asked Gerald, finding all of this to be increasingly outrageous.
“Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you this since you’re about to die anyway! Look, are you really stupid enough to
believe that your Crawford family is from the same lineage as ours? Hahaha! You see, the ancestor of your
Crawford family was initially just a stand-in for our Crawford family’s ancestor! In the end, we allowed him to create
the Crawfords of Northbay—which would eventually end up becoming a world-class power that owns over half of
the planet’s wealth and assets—just for the sake of this nurturing plan! As an extra titbit, in order to ensure that
your Crawford family wouldn’t branch out, we personally made sure to get rid of as many of your family’s members
as possible!” sneered Hoyt.
“And here I was wondering why my family’s lineage didn’t seem to be prosperous despite the fact that we’re so
economically strong… So they were murdered by all of you…!” growled Gerald, his eyes filled with rage.
