Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 786

“Yes, that must be him!”

As the crowd of people gulped, not even daring to speak loudly, the new group of people continued walking forward

till they were right in front of Bryson. Each person in that group exuded an equally strong aura.

“Is that you, Fynn?” asked Bryson as he smiled at the old man.

“Indeed it is, Lord Fenderson. It’s been a long time since we’ve last met! I trust you’ve been well since then!”

replied Fynn with a slight smile.

“I have. Still, all those years… Gone just like that! To think that the young boy who used to always stick around Daryl

is now an old man… If it wasn’t because of your unchanging, sharp as ever eyes, I wouldn’t have been able to

recognize you at all! It really has been too long!” said Bryson, his tone tinged with regrets as he reminisced.

After all, back in the day, Bryson and Daryl were so close that they even considered each other to be brothers. The

old man that now stood before him went by the name of Fynn, and he used to be Daryl’s subordinate then. Time,

however, waits for no one and things were completely different now.

“A long time indeed…”

A calm smile was on Fynn’s face as he said that. While at their roots, grievances still existed between the Crawfords

and the Fendersons, regardless of whether they were still competing against each other in secret or not, they still

had to treat each other politely.

As for the ‘Mr. Crawford’ standing beside Fynn, he looked rather carefree as he scanned through the area.

However, his demeanor changed the moment his gaze fell upon somebody standing within the crowd.

“…Huh? It’s you?”

“So you’re the one who came?”

The woman who had spoken in unison with ‘Mr. Crawford’ was none other than Xavia.

While he was clearly surprised to see Xavia there, Xavia was even more astonished. After all, she had met and dealt

with this person before.

He wasn’t Mr. Crawford! The young man with beady eyes was Gerald’s godbrother, Yoel! The son of the richest man

in County State!

Why was he here? Though it wasn’t Gerald, Xavia still began feeling inexplicably nervous at that moment.

“Aren’t you the Holden family’s young master? Why were you given the title of Mr. Crawford from Northbay?” asked

Xavia, her face slightly pale.

Hearing that, Jasmine was surprised. After all, when she had first heard that he was Mr. Crawford, she had been

wondering if this was the one whom she was contractually bound to marry.

As it turned out, he wasn’t, or at least from what Xavia had said.

Feeling slightly embarrassed after she said that, Yoel then replied, “Now who said that I was Mr. Crawford? I’m just

here to join in the fun and excitement!”

“Wait, so if he’s not Mr. Crawford… Then where’s the real one?”

Everyone was surprised by the turn of events.

“Hahaha! It seems that we’ve made a real fool of ourselves this time! Let me explain. There are two reasons why

we’re here today. Our first is to represent Mr. Crawford and the Crawford family to present your birthday gift to

you. After all, after all these years, even our family has regretted some of the things that have happened in the

past. We’ve been meaning to have a talk with the Fendersons for a long time now, but we simply haven’t heard any

news about your family throughout all these years!” said Fynn as he smiled faintly.

“Not to worry, however, Lord Fenderson. As long as the Crawford family is around, I believe that nobody will even

dare to cause any trouble for you on your birthday!”

As soon as Noah and the others heard that, they felt themselves gulping before each taking a step back.

“As for the second matter, the Crawfords would like to take Miss Queta and Madam Xara back with us. After all, the

madam is the sister-in-law of the Crawford family’s head. Miss Queta herself is a member of the Crawford family. I

believe that this is both an understandable and reasonable request, Lord Fenderson!”

Bryson took in a deep breath upon hearing that. So things had already advanced to this stage.

Since the Crawford family had actually come all the way here, they must have already been fully prepared for the

visit.

Even though Bryson tried thinking and considering the overall situation, in the end, he didn’t even know what to say.

After all, the Crawfords now knew where the Fendersons lived, which meant that they were now officially

susceptible to danger at all times.

However, the Fendersons themselves were holding on to a trump card which was very important to Dylan. It was

because of that, that Bryson believed that Dylan wouldn’t try to go overboard any time soon.

The current best choice of action would be for both parties to negotiate and talk things through.

“Well of course it is!” replied Bryson with a nod.

“However, do remember that the Fenderson family used to be on par with the Crawfords, Fynn. While you said that

the young master of the Crawford family wanted to wish me a happy birthday and celebrate my eightieth birthday

together, it seems that he isn’t present. While he did send someone here in his stead, I don’t think that it justifies

me handing over both my daughter and granddaughter over to the Crawfords,” said Bryson as he fixed his gaze on

Fynn.

“Hahaha! Now who said that our young master wasn’t here? In fact, he’s already arrived at the Fenderson family

mansion a day in advance to make all your birthday preparations, Lord Fenderson!” replied Fynn as he laughed.

“…What? What do you mean Mr. Crawford’s already arrived?” replied Bryson in surprise.

“Mr. Crawford’s already here? Where is he?”

Everyone was equally astonished.
