Chapter 1045

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1045

“From what you’ve just asked, I’m assuming that something happened, Mr. Moldell?” replied Dylan after thinking about it for a while.

Hearing that, Parker nodded before saying, “You see, quite a mysterious incident happened to me and my team while we were looking for clues on the Sun League. It’s rather shameful to admit, but for the longest time, my team and I were unable to locate any relevant leads. The Sun League truly is extremely mysterious and powerful to be able to cover up most, if not all, of their tracks!”

“Regardless, just when I felt that we had reached a dead end, a mysterious person made his presence known… I say that since we’ve never personally met before… Regardless, from that moment on, he’s provided us with necessary hints on where to go next whenever we got truly stumped. His assistance led us to find the exact clues we needed to proceed. He’s the only reason how we were able to make so much progress in the past half-year. Due to his assisting nature, I assumed that you were the one who had sent him over, Chairman Crawford, which is why I’m currently enquiring you about it, just to make sure.”

“If I truly had sent someone over to help you, then I would’ve definitely informed you about it first. Still, that person does indeed sound mysterious… Did he at least give you a name…?” replied Dylan, finding the situation peculiar as well.

“None to speak of. Nobody even knows what he looks like. However, call it a gut feeling from my experience over the years, but I believe that he’s an extremely powerful person. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that even the most powerful members of the Moldell family wouldn’t be able to take him on!”

“Has he truly never shown himself before?”

“As I’ve said, none of us have seen him before. He simply places coordinates near the head of my bed whenever he feels that we need the extra help. While I’d like to call myself a vigilant person, never have I been able to catch him in the act. Haha! To be more specific, he’s only made his presence known twice up till this point.”

Thinking about it, Parker remembered how frightened he had been about half a year ago when the man left the first set of coordinates near the head of his bed. After all, the person who had left the hint there definitely could’ve killed him in his sleep if he wanted to. Should that have happened, Parker wouldn’t even have known that he had been murdered, and the thought of it alone was enough to send shivers down his spine.

Dylan himself was currently racking his brains, wondering who could be helping his family out in secret.

“…Either way, to summarize, since that person has been helping us in secret, then we can assume, at the very least, that he isn’t hostile toward the Crawford family. While we did manage to gather more clues on the Sun League, the more pressing issue now is where the area drawn on the map actually is.

Since the mysterious person led us to it, I’m assuming that there’s a reason behind his actions. For all we know, the secret of the Sun League could very well lie within the dense forests as seen on the map!” said Parker.

Nodding in agreement, Dylan then replied, “Very well. I’ll immediately gather my family’s apprentices and subordinates after this. Since many of them are quite knowledgeable and our family has men all across the globe, some of them may recognize where the map points to!”

“That would certainly be for the best!”

With that, Dylan signaled one of his subordinates to spread the order around and in almost no time at all, people working under the Crawfords from all over the world assembled within the Crawford manor.

Once everyone relevant was present, Dylan led them to a large viewing hall where he projected the map onto a massive screen, enlarging it for all to see.

However, even with so many great minds who had seen so much of the world, the results were barely satisfactory for Dylan. As it turned out, nobody there seemed to have ever come across such beautiful mountains amidst sprawling forests.

It was exactly because of how mystifying the place seemed that everyone there knew, at a glance, that they didn’t know where the place was.

After realizing that, Dylan immediately commanded his subordinates and apprentices to look all over the world for a similar landscape.

Seconds after announcing his order, a servant rushed into the large hall before shouting, “M-master!

Something’s wrong!”

“What is it?” asked Dylan with a frown.

“I-It’s Kort! He’s brought several of his men onto the island and he’s currently leading them here! He’s also already killed over ten of our bodyguards!”

“What? Could he have gone mad?!” exclaimed Dylan as he turned to look at Parker.

Parker himself was frowning as he said, “Unless that old man has gained some information that could be used against the Crawfords, he wouldn’t do such a drastic thing… That’s just not his style of doing things. I propose that you let him in, Chairman Crawford. Let’s see what he’s planning to do!” replied Parker.

Meanwhile, Winnie looked at Kort as she asked, “Second master, what are you doing? Why did you kill off so many of the Crawford family’s people?”

Instead of heading into the large hall with the others earlier, Winnie and her sister had been taking a stroll by the beach—at the side of the island—to relax themselves this entire time. That is, until they noticed Kort rushing toward the manor in a great fury, killing anyone who happened to be in his way!

“That’s none of your business! I’m massacring the entire Crawford family today if it’s the last thing I do!”

growled Kort as he turned to look at the two girls with his bloodshot eyes, a hideous expression on his face.

With that, he continued leading his people over to the manor as Winnie began chasing after him while muttering to herself, “Oh god, has Kort gone insane?! Something big is going to happen soon… I can feel it… I need to see what he’s planning to do!”
