Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 868
The moment the sack was opened, the others saw an unconscious young man who had been beaten up terribly.
“S-Shane!” shouted Master Long nervously when he saw how badly beaten up the boy was.
“Now, now, let’s not be impatient! There’s still more!” said Philip as he, too, stepped forward.
With a swift gesture, one of Philip’s men tossed a bag over to Master Long. As it landed at his feet, its contents
spilled out.
“…What’s this?”
“I… I recognize whose clothes these are! They’re the kind of clothes that Mr. Yunus usually wears!” shouted
someone from within the crowd.
“I’m sure you’ve been looking everywhere for him, right? The truth is, Yunus drove off a cliff and these tattered
clothes were the only remains we could find,” explained Philip.
“W-what…?” Master Long was assaulted by both immense anger and grief as he heard those words.
“G-Gerald… How arrogant of you and your sister! Bullying us this way… Do you honestly think that there’s nobody

At that, Gerald could only smile faintly.
Gerald wasn’t the kind of person to be easily infuriated. Honestly, if he could, he wouldn’t even use vicious means
to achieve his goals. After all, he didn’t really enjoy creating unnecessary trouble for others.
However, Yunus had tried to harm him on multiple occasions before. He had almost killed Queta as well. And now
Shane was involved with Bea’s kidnapping…
They had messed with the people he cared about most.
To think that they still bore grudges against his sister for what she had done over ten years ago. While his sister no
longer had the time to even bother about a tiny family such as the Longs, Gerald had all the time in the world.
It was high time he got things over with.
Just as Master Long was prepared to fight Gerald to the death, his butler ran over to him while holding on to a
wireless phone.
“M-master! There’s a call!”
“Get lost! I’m in no mood to answer a d*mned call!” roared Master Long.
“I-it’s not just any regular call, master! It’s from… that party,” added the butler with a gulp.
“…Hmm?”
As soon as he heard that, Master Long was stunned and his expression instantly changed. Clearing his throat, he
then respectfully took the phone from his servant’s hand before answering the call.
“Yes…Yes. Y-yes!”
After the three consecutive ‘yesses,’ Master Long hung up the phone. However, his entire demeanor seemed to
have switched from that single phone call.
Far from his initial stance, he now seemed to have become feeble, and he barely looked like he had the energy to
even stand. Moments later, his grasp loosened and the phone fell to the floor as his butler immediately rushed over
to support him.
When his gaze fell upon Gerald again, his expression changed once more.
The call had come from the party which had served as the backbone of the Long family. The contents of the call
itself, however, revealed that the backbone that the Long family relied on so much had now collapsed.
In other words, there was nothing the Long family could do to Gerald anymore.
“Now then, if there isn’t anything else, please sign the agreement. Speaking of which, there’s another condition in
the supplementary agreement. I want all the properties belonging to the Long family!” said Gerald.

“Indeed! We’re such a huge family with so many properties! Why should we be afraid of them?”
“What utter nonsense! Saying that he wants all our properties… Preposterous! You should first be thinking about
whether you’ll be able to make it out of here alive!”
While shout after shout of anger came from those within the Long family, Master Long simply raised a hand, a sign
for the others to silence themselves.
His face now deathly pale, he turned to slowly look at Gerald before saying, “…Fine. I’ll sign it. I’ll sign it, Mr.
Crawford!”
Hearing that, everyone from the Long family was instantly stupefied.
While it was true that the Crawford family was both powerful and influential, the Longs certainly had the means and
power to at least try to stand up against them.
Though the others remained puzzled, only Master Long currently understood the importance of his actions.
Upon signing the agreement, the Long family would cease to exist within Yanken. In exchange, the Long bloodline
would still be allowed to continue existing elsewhere.
In other words, if the contract wasn’t signed, the Long family’s name could easily be wiped off the planet for good.
