Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 866

Obeying his orders, a few subordinates then descended the stairs.

 

However, even after they went down, no noise followed. Everything was quiet. Too quiet.

It was at that moment when Shane realized that something was terribly wrong.

“You there, you stay guard here. The rest of you follow me downstairs!” ordered Shane as a lone subordinate stood

at attention in the room while the rest of them descended the stairs together with Shane.

The moment Shane arrived at the last step, however, he stopped. The room was pitch black and not a sound could

be heard.

Before he could even proceed any further, he felt a sharp pain against the back of his head! He could only assume

that someone had smashed his head with a bat before he eventually passed out.

It was late that night when Gerald and a very exhausted Bea finally made it back to Bea’s room. As she fell asleep

almost instantaneously, Gerald covered her with a blanket before leaving the room.

Standing right outside her room was a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits.

“Humph! The Longs will surely find it difficult to sleep peacefully tonight, Mr. Crawford! After all, they’ve just lost one

of their most capable people! As to be expected, they’re searching all over for Shane as we speak!” said Philip with

a smile.

“Indeed! Why don’t we let them look for him for seven days as well! Imagine their reactions after a week without

their precious grandson!” added another subordinate.

“I really don’t have the time to mess with the Longs for a week. Speaking of the Longs, they’re celebrating some

kind of occasion tomorrow, right? Perfect. Since Shane gave us such a large gift by threatening Bea for seven days

straight, we’ll head to that occasion tomorrow with a gift of our own!” said Gerald with a cold gaze in his eyes.

“Get him ready!”

“Roger, Mr. Crawford!”

It was the next day in the Long family’s manor when Master Long asked, “How’s the situation? Did any of you

manage to find Shane?”

Master Long himself was wearing a formal suit. After all, they were celebrating a special occasion today. Several of

their family members were coming over alongside many more distinguished guests. While the atmosphere was

somewhat festive, all those from the Long family were honestly filled with worry and anxiety.

“We haven’t, master. However, from what we can tell, the Yalemans should be behind this. After all, Miss Bea was

saved last night. However, when we headed over to the Yaleman family to investigate, we couldn’t find a single

trace of him!” said Master Long’s butler.

“Hah! The Yaleman family isn’t that capable. Besides, they would never dream of even trying to stand up against

the Long family. The one who did it was most probably Jessica’s brother, Gerald!” replied Master long as he

squinted his eyes.

“Gerald?” said the butler, stunned.

“It’s not the first time I’ve heard his name… From what I can recall, he seemed to have grudges against Mr. Yunus

back in Mayberry… What more, Gerald seemed to be there when Mr. Yunus went missing in the Salford Province,”

added the butler.

Hearing that, Master Long clenched his walking stick tightly.

“The Crawford siblings truly are deliberately standing against the Longs! How pitiful Yunus is… Up till recently, I had

no idea who had caused Yunus’s disappearance… As it turned out, it was the Crawford siblings yet again!” growled

Master Long as his gaze went frigid.

“It seems that I need to meet them in person sometime. If they really are the perpetrators who caused both Yunus

and Shane to disappear, I don’t care what kind of influential supporters they have! They’ll have to pay the heavy

price of a terrible death!”

“Master! Those from the Quarrington family have arrived!” announced a servant as he approached the man who

was still deep in resentment.

However, his mood instantly shifted the moment he realized who was here. With a delighted nod, he then said,

“Well, hurry up and welcome them in!”

At their current strength, the Longs were still much too weak to go against the Crawford siblings. If the Longs truly

wanted to take the siblings down, then their best bet to achieve that would be by cooperating with powerful people

from all walks of life.

“Can’t we refuse to participate, Giya…?”

Outside the Long family’s manor, a few women were nervously suggesting against joining the Long family’s special

occasion.

“What’s there to be afraid of? While I’m equally unwilling to be here, I have to come on my father’s behalf since the

Longs invited my entire family over. Besides, I’m the one who bears grudges against them yet I’m hardly scared at

all! Why are you the ones scared?” said Giya as she looked at Marilyn and her other friends.

“Well, the Longs are the most powerful family in Yanken… Of course I’d be nervous coming to a place like this…

Besides, look around us! Everyone in there is probably a big shot!” replied Marilyn in a quivering voice.

“Well I’m here, aren’t I? I’ve always kept you company in the past, so you’ll have to keep me company this time

around!” said Giya in a playful tone.

“Fine… We’ll enter with you!” replied Marilyn as she stuck her tongue out.

“…Huh? Hey Marilyn, Giya! Look over there! There’s a team of luxurious cars coming this way!” squealed one of

Giya’s friends in surprise as she pointed toward the cars that were driving toward the manor’s gates.
