The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1548
Fiaâbeing someone with an extremely good family backgroundâalways had a sense of superiority over regular people. After hearing about Yosefâs family background, however, her eyes instantly lit up as she snuck a peek at Young Master Jenks.
After exchanging some simple pleasantries, Yosef found himself asking, âSpeaking of which, Beau, what took you so long? Didnât you promise to arrive a few days ago?â
âAh, donât even get me started on that⦠You see, throughout my absence, massive and rather drastic changes have taken place within Jenna City as well as Westonâs underground structure. With that in mind, Iâve been helping my father deal with the situation this entire time!â replied Beau.
âI think I heard some news about that as well⦠Sacrasolis Palace, right? Where did that large force even come from? According to what my father told me, several prestigious families and even a few underground forces in Yanam have already submitted to them! While Iâve been told that the palace master of the Sacrasolis Palace is a particularly vicious individual, rumor has it that by submitting to him, oneâs family will definitely be protected and will cease to deteriorate for as long as a million years!â
said Yosef.
Due to their overwhelming wealth, it wasnât uncommon for large families to be in contact with extraordinary people. While ordinary people may find it slightly preposterous for rich families to submit to more powerful families that belonged to certain sects, it was honestly just business as usual for the wealthy.
âSpeaking of which, your fatherâs still in the Jenna Province, right, Beau? Has he managed to contact anyone from the Sacrasolis Palace?â asked Yosef.
Shaking his head, Beau then replied, âWe never got the chance. After all, there were simply too many powerful families heading there to submit themselves to them at the time. Even so, it appears that the Palace Master of Sacrasolis Palace was already pretty rich in the first place. With that in mind, many of the families there apparently didnât suit his tastes. From what Iâve heard, to get acquainted with them, one must first pass through a number of assessments!â
Hearing that, Fia simply shook her head slightly contemptuously before saying, âBut of course mere merchant families like yours arenât worthy of getting acquainted with the Sacrasolis Palace! Do you even know how powerful the palace master truly is? How could anyone just submit themselves to Mr.
Crawford like that?â
ââ¦Oh? While weâre on the topic, Iâve heard that your family has a relationship with the Sacrasolis Palace⦠Does that mean that the palace masterâs surname is Crawford? Also, have you met him in person?â asked Beau in a surprised tone.
âHow in the world could I have met him before? Regardless, Iâm extremely sure that heâs an immensely powerful and awe-worthy person. After all, even his subordinates are all smart and tough. I should know since some of them are well-acquainted with my grandpa!â replied Fia, slight regret reflected in her eyes.
Thinking back, her grandfatherâs eyes had been filled with admiration and respect whenever he talked about Mr. Crawford to herâ¦
Speaking of her grandfather, she remembered him advising her, âRemember to grab the chance when you see it!â before the ships had even departed.
When she asked what âchanceâ he was referring to, however, her grandfather was oddly unwilling to reveal anything beyond that no matter how much she asked.
âWas grandpa trying to indicate this party or somethingâ¦?â Fia thought to herself as she allowed her gaze to fall on Yosef for a few more seconds.
In between laughs and chattering, they eventually arrived at the partyâs venueâ¦
Not long after everyone left the port, an odd-looking and ghostlike ship slowly began materializing out of the blue⦠Skimming across the seaâs surface, the mysterious passenger ship then swiftly approached the port⦠It was so quiet that nobody was even aware of its presenceâ¦
Once the ship docked, two womenâbearing extraordinary temperaments and wearing white clothesâ
slowly descended the ship⦠Due to the light veils covering their faces, anyone trying to see what they looked like would only be able to see blurry outlines.
âWas it really a good idea for us to have gone behind Sister Mila and come here, sisterâ¦? After all, the main reason we came to earth this time around is to execute that special mission, noâ¦?â muttered one of the women in a worried tone as she curiously looked at all the different kinds of people in the distance.
âWhat are you even afraid of? Donât worry, things are going to be fine! Look, lots of people are already there! Now letâs hurry over!â
