The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 805
âIâve called you over today mainly to discuss the incident. Youâre already a grown man so you should be aware of the secrets that our family has gained!â said Dylan as he gently patted his sonâs shoulder.
âSee, this symbol behaves somewhat like a curse⦠People call it the symbol of the Sun League.
Whenever anyone personally receives the symbol, they go missing within three days! To think that Milaâs currently facing what your uncle had gone through twenty years ago!â explained his father.
âAccording to what Fynn had said, the curse resurfaces every twenty years, and whenever it does, people go missing. He also said that nobody whoâs received the curse has managed to escape it!â
replied Gerald.
Shaking his head, Dylan then said, âFynn is only half correct there. While itâs true that the majority who receive the symbol go missing, Iâve been able to locate someone whoâs managed to return safely!â
Hearing that, Geraldâs eyes lit up.
âAfter interviewing him, the person stated that he had been saved by someone. Aside from that, I also gained some vital clues to help crack the code. Based on everything I currently know about the curse, itâs highly likely that your uncle and Mila have been captured!â
âCaptured? By who? Who on earth could be that powerful?â asked Gerald, a tinge of hope in his voice.
âIâm afraid I donât know who the mastermind is either. With so little clues to go with in the first place, it saddens me to say that we probably wonât be able to investigate any further into this with the power of the Crawford family alone.â
Nodding, Gerald then said, âI understand, dad. How about looking for the person who made it back alive again to see if we get any new leads?â
âWhile he was alive for fifteen years after safely returning, he died some six years ago. If we truly want capable helpers now, then weâll need to look for the family who saved him back then,â replied Dylan as he shook his head while smiling bitterly.
âAs long as theyâre willing to lend a hand, our strength in the case will easily have doubled! Son, let me ask you. Which of the families do you think is the most powerful now?â asked Dylan as he looked at Gerald.
âWell, while the Federsons were once very prosperous and powerful, Fynn told me that our family currently holds the most power.â
âWhile thatâs true in terms of economic power, when it comes to brute strength, a few families are stronger than ours⦠Take, for example, the Moldell family from Yanken!â
âThe Moldells from Yanken?â
Though Gerald had heard about the Longs and Quarringtons from Yanken, never had he heard about the Moldells.
While he was astonished to know that there was another powerful family living there, he quickly realized how little he actually knew. This conversation was definitely helping him expand his horizons.
âIndeed. In fact, the person I mentioned was saved by the Moldells. See, their bloodline is blessed with strength, quite literally. Those from the Moldell family are naturally physically stronger than the average human. Itâs no wonder that most of them are active in the military. Thereâs also a highly mysterious group of people in Weston who call themselves the Dragon Squad. Regardless of how rich a family is, none of their guards will ever come close to comparing to those within that group!â
âThat isnât an exaggeration either. Those within the Dragon Squad can kill effortlessly and in full secrecy if they wanted to. Not even our extremely tight security system could ever dream of stopping them if they were to target us! Throughout the years, our family has recruited several experts and masters to protect ourselves from that family, just in case they ever decide to assassinate any of us.
However, the gap between us is simply growing larger by the year!â
Hearing all that, Gerald was left stupefied. If his father hadnât told all that to him in person, Gerald wouldnât have believed that such people even existed!
Soon enough, however, Gerald realized that it wasnât that much of a surprise. After all, he had met people like the Drake & Tyson duo and Finnley as well! The way these people operated was simply incomprehensible to the average person.
ââ¦Well then how about Drake and Tyson? Are they comparable to those in the Moldell family?â asked Gerald.
