Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2179

“… Hmm? What do you mean by that…?” asked the old man, clearly feeling confused.

“Well, he’s left my family to establish a new cultivating Crawford family atop an island beyond the Yanam sea that I’ve unfortunately yet to locate…” replied Gerald with a sigh.

“He’s… established another Crawford family…? But that can’t be! The old Daryl valued his family more than his old life! With that said, why would he just abandon you and establish a new family?” exclaimed the old man as his eyes widened in disbelief.

Shrugging, Gerald simply replied, “Beats me…”

Now feeling that he was hearing something more akin to a fairy tale, the old man asked, “…Alright, so… How’s the relationship between the two families…?”

“Well, my Crawford family isn’t connected with the other one. I should also note that I’m the only one left in my family,” explained Gerald.

“… What? What about your parents? While I don’t know much about you, I clearly remember my sister-

in-law giving birth to a girl before I left. That should be your sister, right? What happened to her and your parents? Don’t tell me all three of them met with misfortune…?” replied the old man with a frown.

“Negative. Currently, they’ve been abducted by Daryl…” muttered Gerald as he shook his head.

“… They were… what? You… you’re just making all this up, right…?” asked the old man in his utter shock. After all, all this was simply too bizarre! His old friend couldn’t just start a new family of his own before abducting his son and daughter-in-law’s family, right…?

“Unfortunately, it’s the truth. My parents and sister are currently being locked up somewhere on their island. I should also note that though my girlfriend’s been abducted by the Sun League, I have a feeling that my grandfather’s involved…” replied Gerald with a sigh.

Unable to handle all this information, the old man leaped to his feet, his face contorted in disbelief as he yelled, “What?!”

“I only speak the truth…” muttered Gerald who honestly wanted all this to just be fake.

“… Unbelievable… I clearly remember how cordially Daryl treated your parents and the rest of your family back then… How did all this come to be…?” said the old man as he slowly sat down again.

Gerald himself remained silent, not knowing what else to say about Daryl…

Back when he was six, he had thought that his grandfather was the kindest man alive… However, one day, he simply left… To think that when Daryl finally returned once Gerald was an adult, his first move was to abduct his parents and sister! This Daryl was nothing like the grandfather Gerald used to love!

Regardless, after pondering for a while, the old man eventually asked, “… You mentioned an island, right? What’s the island called?”

“Yearning Island!” replied Gerald without the slightest hesitation. Since the old man was extremely capable and was also the elder of the Yamashitas, Gerald secretly hoped that the old man would know something about that island.

Unfortunately, Gerald was quickly disappointed when the old man stroked his beard for a while before shaking his head and saying, “…I’m afraid I’ve never heard of that island before…”

“… Don’t worry, I just found out about it quite recently as well,” replied Gerald as he sighed. Still, he wasn’t overly disappointed since he kind of expected this answer as well.

“I see… Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to locate it for you. I should specify that I still believe that Daryl isn’t the kind of person to do all this without a good reason,” muttered the old man as he shook his head.
