Chapter 1513
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1513 As everyone either screamed or stared dumbfoundedly at the bloody scene, one of the family heads managed to snap out of it and immediately bowed before Gerald, expressing his amazement and respect by shouting, âMaster Crawfordâ¦!â
Upon seeing that, the other family heads immediately bowed in unison as the words âMaster Crawfordâ
echoed throughout the entire underground area.
Finnegan, on the other hand, turned to look at Stetsonâwho was still frozen on stageâand signaled him to escape together with him. To his relief, Stetson saw and understood Finneganâs signal, prompting both of them to slowly begin walking away from the area.
Despite his name being shouted, Gerald appeared indifferent, and he simply turned to look at Carlos before saying, âCarlos Xenes⦠I remember asking you something before you fled⦠Since I didnât get an answer, Iâm just going to repeat what I said. Give me one good reason why I shouldnât kill you.â
Upon hearing that, Carlos instantly gulped before replying, âI⦠Iâll be your lackey till the day I die, Master Crawfordâ¦!â
Despite being rather unwilling to be Geraldâs servant, anything was better compared to facing a death similar to Ghoseâs. That ninjaâs death was truly pitifulâ¦
âHmm⦠I accept. With that, Iâm sure you know what you have to do next, correct?â replied Gerald as rested his arms against his back before turning to look at the escaping father and son.
Instantly getting what Gerald was trying to say, Carlos then roared, âHow dare both of you offend Master Crawford!â
Since Finnegan had earlier instructed Ghose to kill Gerald, he had pretty much already sealed his fate by that point.
Either way, Carlos easily caught up to the duo and after receiving three strikes each, both of them flopped to the ground, dead.
âNow then⦠If there arenât any further objections, does that mean that Iâve now gained full control over this underground world?â asked Gerald.
âBut of course, Master Crawford! Weâd very much prefer having you be the person in control rather than the Waddys!â
âIndeed! With how strong you are, the Yahtos are more than willing to serve you as our head for the generations to come! Even so, please donât underestimate my family, Master Crawford, for we own a third of the assets in the entire Jenna Province!â added the head of the Yahtos in a flattering tone.
While the other family heads were already fawning over Gerald, Yaakov didnât even dare to say a word.
With mixed feelings in his heart, he wondered how he had been so blind⦠How he had actually failed to recognize how strong and powerful Gerald actually was at the startâ¦
Regardless, he understood very well that he had previously offended Gerald quite a bit. It was the reason why he was staying put in complete silence, fearing that he would share the fate of Finnegan and his son.
Despite Yaakovâs worries, Gerald didnât even look at him from the start till the very end.
After a brief moment, Gerald then declared, âI only wish to obtain one thing from the miracle on Tierson Mountain. Once I obtain it, the rest of the items will be equally distributed to all of you!â
ââ¦W-what?! T-Thank you, Master Crawfordâ¦!â cried out the family heads, unable to contain their excitement.
Watching as Gerald stood in the limelight, Xyrielle felt her heart pounding rapidly.
Just as she had thought⦠Stetson hadnât been the one the fortune-teller had predicted to be her optimal lover⦠No⦠As it turned out, Gerald was the actual one for her!
Now genuinely feeling happy for him, she hoped that he would at least turn back to look at herâ¦
To her disappointment, after he explained a few things to Perlaâabout the distribution benefits since he was placing her responsible over thatâGerald swiftly went off without another word.
Seeing that, Xyrielle felt slight feelings of loss and bitterness in her heartâ¦
Fast forward to after the underground festival, several big changes had already taken place within the Jenna Province.
The changes included several ancient martial arts families, secret societies, as well as several forces that possessed special skills. Essentially, all of them now obeyed and took orders from Master Crawford.
In relation to this, there were also quite a number of peopleâwho were training to attain spiritual enlightenmentâwho stepped forth to meet Gerald. While they had previously entrusted themselves to the powerful families within the Jenna Province, they were now pledging their allegiance to Gerald instead.
These were all people similar to Julian in the way that they were all self-taught and werenât particularly tied to any organizations. With Geraldâs agreement, they were all overjoyed to finally have a strong and powerful person to back them up.
Among the twenty-seven people who had attached themselves to Gerald in that short amount of time, Gerald found that most of them were First-rank masters while the others were Second-rank ones.
While that meant that Carlos was most definitely the strongest among them, he opted not to turn down any of them. After all, he was truly in need of people at the time.
Regardless of how powerful they were, Perla was still Geraldâs first disciple. With that said, despite being considerably weaker than the rest, her words were still absolute among the other disciples.
