The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2028
Will had his reasons for being this worried.
After all, though Daryl had kidnapped Geraldâs parents and sister, he didnât make things difficult for them. On the contrary, he made sure to take good care of them! That fact bugged him to no end.
Thinking about it, while Daryl had promised that he would be the Crawford familyâs successor, in the end, he was simply an adopted child. Gerald, on the other hand, was a true Crawford. If he didnât get rid of Gerald quickly, Gerald could very possibly end up taking his place one dayâ¦!
Closing his eyes to think about his next step, Will eventually walked to the door and called out to his two most loyal followers, âBoth of you, come in.â
Upon entering, the two closed the door behind them before replying, âBrother Will.â
Nodding in response, Will then lit cigarettes for both of themâand also himselfâbefore sitting on a bench. Crossing his legs, he then asked, âYou two should already know that Geraldâs at Gong Island now, right?â
âWeâre aware,â replied one of the men as both of them looked at each other.
âGood. I want you two to head there tomorrow to finish Gerald off. I want this assassination to be quick, and the fewer people notice you, the better,â growled Will as he narrowed his eyes.
âWith all due respect, brother Will, didnât the chief say that he simply wanted to test how strong Gerald wasâ¦? He doesnât want him dead, rightâ¦?â muttered the other man in confusion. Being Willâs closest followers, they naturally knew about Darylâs orders.
Frowning in response, Will then retorted, âWhich part of âI want him deadâ donât you understand? Look, as long as Gerald remains alive, heâll be a threat to my position as the successor of the Crawford family. Once heâs out of the picture, nobody else will be able to get that position but me! Got it?â
âLoud and clear!â replied the two men, now understanding where Will was coming from. âExcellent.
Now prepare yourselves. I hope to hear good news from you tomorrow. After raising you two for so many years, itâs high time for you to help solve my problems!â declared Will whose cigarette was already half-burnt by this pointâ¦
âRoger that!â replied both of them, not saying anything more since they knew that Will was still angryâ¦
It was only after they left when Will started feeling slightly better. After all, he raised those two from scratch, so he knew how strong they were. Hell, he had even planned to send them to the cultivation competition as representatives of the Crawford family before this. If they ranked highly in the competition, the Crawford familyâs status would surely rise, thus further securing his position as the next chief!
âI wouldnât have even bothered about you if you remained in Weston, Gerald⦠However, since youâre so keen on looking for trouble on Yearning Island, Iâll make sure you never leave this place!â grumbled Will as he grabbed onto the corners of his table, tightening his grip until the tableâs corners were crushedâ¦!
Moving back to Gerald, he was barely affected by yesterdayâs incidents.
As for the residents on Gong Island, not only did they now know that the chiefâs grandson was on the island, but he was apparently in conflict with the main Crawford family as well.
Regardless, Gerald turned to look at the summoned disciples of the Sacrasolis Palace before saying, âIâll be counting on all of you from today onward!â
âNot to worry, brother Gerald! Weâll be sure to guard this island properly! Nobody will get on this island without you knowing!â yelled the crowd in response as they took turns nodding. Smiling when he heard that, Gerald then nodded as he said, âItâs such a relief to have you guys aroundâ¦â
