Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2024

'Will Crawford? Doesn't ring a bell," replied Gerald with a smile.

"There's no need for you to know about him. All you need to know is that you'll be kneeling and begging for mercy soon," replied the leader as the four men stood side by side before promptly releasing their strong auras...

Knowing that this was going to be a battle between powerful cultivators, members of the side family-who were present-immediately rushed to hide behind large stones and trees...

As for Master Ghost, he was standing on the balcony of the wooden house, a compass in hand as a nervous Aiden stood beside him...

Sweating anxiously, Aiden couldn't help but ask, "... Do... you think Gerald will be fine, Master Ghost...?"

Aiden was rightfully worried since this was the first time he had seen Gerald come across such powerful people. "He'll be fine. Still, his grandfather must have found out that Gerald was here... Regardless, Gerald should easily be able to handle these people that Daryl sent over," replied Master Ghost as he shook his head. He, for one, was sure that Gerald wasn't in any immediate danger since the compass wasn't reacting negatively.

'With all due respect, I should just rush out with the other brothers of the Sacrasolis Palace to deal with them! Once that's done, we can just force them to tell us where Yearning Island is!" exclaimed Aiden, not understanding how Master Ghost was remaining this calm.

"Look, if you don't want to anger Gerald, just stay put," replied Master Ghost with a sigh...

Moving back to Gerald, after an awkward silence that felt like it lasted forever, Gerald clenched his fists before saying, "...Regardless, just relay Daryl's message already."

While Gerald had previously found his grandfather to be amiable, kind, and skillful, no matter how hard he thought about it, he simply couldn't comprehend why he would suddenly turn out this way and even kidnap his sister and parents!

Whatever the case was, now that he was so close to solving the mystery, Gerald had a hunch that Daryl already knew about everything that he had done here...

"He doesn't have anything to say to you. We're just here to test your strength!" replied the leader as he positioned his hand before him, causing it to produce a faint, yellow glow...

Barely a second later, he then rushed forward, aiming to strike Gerald's shoulder! Seeing that, the three other men began launching their own attacks! While Will had said that the chief didn't allow them to kill Gerald, they could still hurt him! Looking at the four attacking men, Gerald couldn't help but frown slightly as he rested his left arm behind him. Positioning his right hand in front, Gerald then easily blocked the leader's attack. Following that, he elbowed the leader before kicking him back!

With the leader's body colliding against the three other men, all four of them soon found themselves lying on the ground... Gerald had taken all of them out in just a single move...!

"What, is the cultivating family this weak?" asked Gerald as he looked at them calmly.

Upon hearing that, the men quickly helped each other up. While their statuses in the Crawford family weren't exactly boast-worthy, they were still serious cultivators in the family. With that in mind, getting defeated by Gerald in just a single move was unacceptable!

Still, knowing that they had underestimated Gerald's strength, the leader quickly spat, "It looks like you're quite skillful as well!"

"Look, let's not waste any more of our time. Tell me where Yearning Island is already!" retorted Gerald, not wanting to waste his time dealing with lackeys.

'We aren't telling you anything! Now cooperate or prepare to have a taste of Crawford Style Arm Boxing!" yelled the leader-who had now gathered his strength again-as he began jabbing several punches into the air! With how fast his fists were moving, any fallen leaves in his way ended up dancing in the wind as dust cloud after dust cloud formed...!

Laughing when he saw that, one of the other men then disdainfully yelled, "Give it up, Gerald! Among the Crawford family members, he's the best at Arm Boxing! We really don't want to end up accidentally killing you, you know? How would we explain that to the chief?" While it was true that Gerald was the chief's grandson, he hadn't grown as a cultivator together with the rest of the Crawfords. With that in mind, how powerful could he really be?
