Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1445

“…A secret?” asked Peter.

“Indeed. I didn’t know about it either in the beginning… Before moving any further, however, I’ll have you know that for the longest time, I was only aware of the existence of your family’s most valuable treasure, that being the picture of the sun. Not only is it capable of foretelling things, but it’s also rich with training techniques! It truly is a treasure among treasures! Regardless, what I’m assuming is that he must have learned something from it.”

“After all, after we beat him up, we were surprised to find out that he managed to escape right under our noses! Though I contacted several champions and their families to hunt him down, we never found him again. It was about twenty years later when the Crawford family suddenly reappeared, and when it did, it shockingly already owned over half the wealth on the planet! The Crawfords controlled the economic lifeline of the world!”

“Even so, a lot of us doubted that the Crawfords who reappeared were established by Daryl. After all, Daryl was still missing, and after a bit of research, we found out that the leader at the time was Dylan.

As was expected, we also found out that nobody knew a thing about Dylan’s father. Speaking of which, there’s something else you need to know! Your father’s original name wasn’t Daryl! His true name is Lucero! Lucero Crawford!” explained Yreth, clear contempt on her face.

“Still, he truly is an intelligent person, you know? Had my family not gotten acquainted with the King of Judgment Portal, we’d surely have continued getting fooled by him! He’s an expert at lying and making up stories, that’s for sure! Either way, I’m also sure he was well aware that Gerald’s body held many secrets! Secrets of which few in the world—including the Gunters—know the exact details about!”

added Yreth.

By that point, Peter was already frowning slightly. After all, if Yreth wasn’t lying, then all his worries had just been proven to be true.

There were some things that Peter hadn’t mentioned to Gerald before. While he did tell Gerald about the mysterious man who had been stalking him for who knows how long, Peter hadn’t told Gerald that he had once exposed his whereabouts, and was completely ready to fight the mysterious man.

During that process, Peter had successfully torn off the man’s veil, and though the man managed to instantly cover his face, all Peter needed was a simple glance for him to recognize the man’s eyes and appearance.

“Dad?!” called out Peter at the time, feeling as though he had just been struck by lightning.

‘…The man in black clothes… Had been dad this entire time…?! No, there’s got to be a mistake… I must have made a mistake, right…?’ wondered Peter at the time, trying his best to think of a more plausible answer.

As he thought about it, he recalled how strong his father’s martial arts skills were when Peter was still a child.

‘After escaping from Jaellatra, my training has definitely increased by leaps and bounds… However, if that person truly is dad, then how could he be even stronger than me now…?’

With so many questions in mind, Peter had decided to continue concealing his identity to investigate more in secret. He wanted to find out whether his father’s intentions toward Gerald were good or evil.

Whatever the case was, that discovery had stemmed from an incident that he had come across earlier on. At the time, not only had his father stunned Gerald, but he had even snuck into Gerald’s body!

Following that, he had checked Gerald’s bodily conditions, though he found no changes to Gerald’s body.

It was also the reason why Peter had concealed the fact—from Jasmine—that his face wasn’t actually ruined. After all, he was still unable to figure out his father’s true intentions, and the vagueness continued up till the point he found out that several people had died horribly during the most recent pledge of the holy water…
