Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1558

The Turnbulls were a family that had existed for hundreds of years, and there were many exceptional and powerful

people within that family who had influential backgrounds. Due to that, they had always behaved rather recklessly

since nobody could really stand up against them.

With all that in mind, Hooper had never imagined that his son would die so horribly. Hugging onto the many pieces

of his son’s corpse, Hooper felt as a cocktail of grief, hatred, and wrath began brewing in his heart…

Upon seeing his reaction, everyone sensible enough immediately took a few steps back.

Still trembling, Hooper then turned to look at Lenox as he growled, “…Who… Who’s responsible for killing my

son…?!”

Quivering in fear, Lenox then replied, “T-the person who did it… is the one my family’s been looking everywhere

for! The deed was done by Gerald!”

“…What?! Gerald?!” roared Hooper, his eyes now a bloody-red as murderous intent exuded from every orifice on

his body.

Watching all this play out, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man—who had been sitting at the side—then declared,

“I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family, Hooper… Regardless, to avenge my nephew, I’ll be

ordering those from the army to capture that Gerald! Once we have him, I’ll be sure to make him suffer terribly!”

Turning to look at the middle-aged man—who was from the royal family—the crazed-looking Hooper then replied,

“There’s no need for that! Once we have him, the Turnbulls will be devouring every inch of his flesh and drinking all

his blood!”

As he began weeping tears of blood, a voice suddenly shouted, “Do you honestly think that you two can capture

Gerald? You’re both just idiots! It’s really no wonder why your son ended up dying so terribly! Regardless, knowing

that boy’s temper, you don’t have to waste any effort trying to capture him. He’ll probably be taking the initiative to

come look for you! Hahaha! That silly, silly boy! I bet he thinks that massacring all of you will eventually force me

out! Either way, your Turnbulls have zero chance to escape his wrath by this point. Your threats won’t work against

him either since to him, you’re all quite literally as easy to kill as mere ants!”

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice… And there, slowly walking toward them

from the middle of the national banquet hall, was an old man donning black robes…

The second Lenox saw him, he instantly began sweating profusely as he said, “M-master…!”

Following that, he fearfully zipped his mouth tight before kowtowing in the direction of the old man.

Even Hooper and Greyson Leacock—the person who had come from the royal family in the Gloyv State—grew

frightened when they realized that the old man was present.

After both of them greeted him, Hooper then asked, “About what you said earlier… How could you be so sure,

master…?”

“How couldn’t I be? I’m the one who knows him best in this entire world!” retorted the old man as he slowly took off

his black hood…

If Gerald was here to witness this, he’d surely have been extremely surprised to find out the true identity of that old

man!

From how well the old man knew the boy, he assumed that Gerald would probably think something along the lines

of, ‘It… It was grandpa Daryl this entire time…?! The person who I respected so much in the past?! I… I don’t think

he’s my grandpa anymore… From what I can see, he’s now nothing but a schemer who’s been acting behind the

scenes this entire time!’

Regardless, Gerald would probably feel shocked by his appearance as well. After all, Daryl’s eyes had now gone fully

scarlet, and his lips were a frightening shade of purple and black. There were even hints of divine lines on his

forehead that glowed red… Together, this combination made him look like a human who had made it halfway down

the route of becoming a true devil…

Smiling subtly, Daryl then laughed before sneering, “I’ve spent way too much time and effort to get my major plan

to this point! After all, I had to pretend to be his grandfather for quite a while in order to manipulate him without

getting suspected! Even so, it was all worth it since I was able to make and watch him slowly mature… In a way,

what I did isn’t unlike watching a seed I planted slowly grow and eventually blossom… However, a slight change in

plans happened right before I was able to pick the fruits of my efforts! Though that’s beside the point. Regardless,

I’m sure you now know why I said I know him so well!”

“…Wait. Don’t tell me that… Gerald is the product of the Herculean Golden Base…? I remember peculiar things

happening in the sky over twenty years ago… Following that, the Herculean Golden Base had sent several forces to

explore its product…” said Hooper, greatly bewildered.

As for Greyson, he took in a deep breath before adding, “…You’ve said before that this Herculean Golden Base is

also known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, right, master…? I also recall you saying that it’s the strongest power

between heaven and earth… So strong, in fact, that whoever gains it will be able to achieve immortality! Thinking

back, it was around fifty years ago when you saved a fisherman couple… Following that, you even gave them a lot

of money in order to obtain the Herculean Golden Base that was about to befall their descendants… Since Gerald is

so powerful, could it be that he’s that heir…?”

“Bingo. Either way, the demonic power granted me not only strength, but also the ability to foresee the future! With

this much power, I’m only able to enjoy myself if my plan goes flawlessly! Sadly enough, I didn’t consider the fact

that people would secretly try to help Gerald along the way! Thanks to them, he’s grown a bit too powerful for my

taste and my plans were almost ruined!” grumbled Daryl as he clenched his fists tightly…
