Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2020-2021

Chapter 2020.

After staring at Terenzio - who was lying on the floor - for a while, Tarek Crawford finally dragged his body onto the wagon. Tarek has decided that he will only say that he will go fishing as an excuse to dump his body into the sea tonight.

After all, the woman immediately returned with water, and immediately picked up a few brushes to start rubbing blood on the floor.

While doing so, Tarek - who was still a little worried - couldn't help but say,

"Remember, no one knows about what happened tonight.!"

"But if Terenzio doesn't return, his family will definitely investigate."

Answer the same woman.

"It's not like we can stop that. If his family ends up interrogating us, just tell him you don't know anything! In the end, this is a matter between the head of the family and his granddaughter, so we should not interfere!"

Tarek's orders while quickly waving his hands.

"Huh? The head of the family and his granddaughter...? What happened between them.?"

Ask the woman who is now more confused than ever.

"You won't understand no matter how much I explain! In any case, remember not to tell anyone about what happened tonight."

Tarek's gerutu who is not trying to explain anything. The important thing now is to clean the bloodstains and get rid of the body.

"understand."

The woman replied with a nod as she stopped asking more questions.

About two hours later the smell of blood in the house reduced. Since the bloodstains had already been cleaned and it was a bit late at night, Tarek put on his jacket and started pushing the cart out of the farm, knowing it was the right time to dispose of the body.

Fast forward to the next day, Gerald opened his eyes as the second dawn broke. By killing Terenzio last night, it means he officially declared war on the Crawford family. With that in mind, after taking a bath, Gerald put on his jacket and headed to Tarek's house.

Meanwhile, Tarek had just returned from the sea, looking very tired and disheveled. Sitting in his chair, he immediately curled up, his eyes looking dead like a dodo..

Shortly after, Gerald entered the house, and after closing the door behind him, he asked,

"So, how's it going, brother Crawford?"

"I've done everything you asked me to do. The blood in the house has been washed all over and I've dumped Terenzio's corpse into the sea."

Tarek replied, shivering slightly when he saw Gerald.

"good. In any case, how long do you think it took the main family to realize that Terenzio was missing?"

Gerald asked as he calmly stood beside Tarek, feeling somewhat pleased that there was really no bloodstain left.

"I don't know... It was as if someone from a side family like me would never know what the main family thought!"

Tarek replied while shaking his head.

"Points retrieved. Either way, remember why Terenzio died. As long as you don't make the same stupid mistake he did, I'll let you live."

Gerald said before putting his hands on his back and walking out of the room.

At this moment, no one knew that Terenzio had been killed by Gerald. Still, looking at all the relatives, Gerald could only sigh. What exactly is Daryl planning.? Did he really have to build a Crawford family cultivating overseas? And why kidnap his parents just to be his enemy..?

Chapter 2021.

What Gerald did not know, however, was the fact that news of the island had reached the Island of Longing. Sitting beside a wooden table that the moth ate, - which seemed to be collapsing at any moment -, inside a relatively simple straw hut, was none other than the cloaked Daryl.

As he poured tea from his ancient teapot, a fierce-looking young man walked up to Daryl before whispering,

"According to our people on Gong Island, Terenzio and a few foreigners have gone to one of the nearby islands, and they have been living there for a few days now. We suspect Gerald was there too."

"We'll just wait for them to come. I want to see how strong his cultivation is after so many years. Also, what is Terenzio's cultivation level?"

"Not too strong. From what we gathered, he was only at the intermediate level among our family members."

The man replied after thinking for a moment.

"I saw. Just keep watching then remember, don't let Gerald notice our people. Since he was able to kill the three great clans of Yanam alone, you can imagine how powerful he is at this moment."

Daryl said as he sipped his tea.

Hearing that, the impatient man was compelled to say,

"But the chairman, if you really want to get rid of them, we can send our people to surround Gong Island right now! I guarantee he will be killed before dark! All our problems will be gone then!"

With almost no change in his expression, Daryl then lowered his teacup before asking in a hoarse voice,

"Tell me, Will.. How many years have you been following me?"

"Twenty-five. I still remember how you saved me from freezing to death back then."

The man replied while bowing respectfully.

"I'm glad you're sober. While Gerald may be my grandson, in my eyes, you are my true successor. With that in mind, know that once Gerald comes to Longing Island, death will surely come for him."

Daryl said before laughing.

"I understand, chief!"

Answer the man who can now breathe more easily.

"Well. Let's see if Terenzio is strong enough to get rid of Gerald first. If he fails, we will only send more of our skilled people to deal with him. Since he came looking for trouble so boldly, let's make sure we're ready for whatever he has."

Daryl said as he continued to sip his tea. From the looks of it, Gerald's appearance barely even got a response from him.

Glad to hear it, the man then exclaimed,

"Then. Chief, I-"

"Don't even dare think of showing yourself in front of Gerald. If you try, I'll immediately remove your cultivation strength."

Daryl replied as he turned to face the man.

"I understand!"

Said the man who was now shivering while nodding in agreement.

"good. Now go!"

Daryl answered with a wave of his hand.

Returning to Gong Island, Gerald was still thinking about how to find Longing Island. If even Tarek did not know where the island was, Gerald was pretty sure that all the other family members on the island would not know either.

It certainly doesn't help that Terenzio - who is the only one who knows how to get to the Island of Longing - is now dead.

With how things are going, Gerald is pretty sure that all he can do is wait until next week when the main family ship arrives. It would definitely allow him to find the Island of Longing.

In other news, the person on the island seems unconcerned by Terenzio's sudden disappearance, perhaps thinking that he has just returned to the main family.

After all, despite having the same surname, the main family and the side family were completely different.

Regardless, in the days that followed, Gerald largely remained inside his room. To pass the time, he studied the sea map, constantly analyzing the islands in the middle of the map in hopes of knowing which one was the Island of Longing.

While Gerald was calm, the same could not be said for those on Longing Island. After all, in the past three days - under Daryl-'s orders, Will Crawford was completely unable to contact Terenzio. Something must be wrong.

After establishing the Crawford family, Daryl had made a rule stating that the main Crawford family members could not leave Longing Island inexorably.

With that in mind, since Terenzio went to Gong Island and did not report back in a few days, he was clearly breaking the taboo.
