Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2024-2025

Chapter 2024.

"Will Crawford? Not ringing the bell,"

Gerald replied with a smile.

"There's no need for you to know about him. All you need to know is that you will immediately kneel down and beg for mercy."

The leader replied as the four men stood side by side before immediately releasing their powerful auras.

Knowing that this would be a battle between powerful cultivators, the side family members - who were present immediately rushed to hide behind boulders and trees.

As for Master Ghost, he stood on the balcony of the wooden house, a compass in hand, as a nervous Aiden stood beside him. Sweating anxiously, Aiden inevitably asked,

"Do you think Gerald will be okay, Master Ghost...?"

Aiden was really worried because this was the first time he had seen Gerald meet such powerful people.

"He'll be fine. Still, his grandfather must have known that Gerald was here. In any case, Gerald should be able to easily handle the people Daryl sent him,"

Master Ghost replied as he shook his head.

He, for example, was convinced that Gerald was not in immediate danger because the compass did not react negatively.

"With all due respect, I must rush out with the other brothers of the Sacrasolis Palace to deal with them! Once done, we can force them to tell us where the Island of Longing is!"

Aiden exclaimed, not understanding how Master Ghost remained calm like this.

"Listen, if you don't want to make Gerald angry, just shut up,"

Replied Master Ghost while sighing.

Moving back to Gerald, after an awkward silence that felt like it lasted forever, Gerald clenched his fists before saying,

"After all, just give Daryl a message."

While Gerald had previously found his grandfather friendly, kind, and skilled, no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not understand why he had suddenly turned out like this and even kidnapped his sister and parents!

Whatever the case may be, now that he is close to solving the mystery, Gerald has a hunch that Daryl already knows about everything he has done here.

"He has nothing to say to you. We're just here to test your strength!"

The leader replied as he placed his hand in front of him, causing it to produce a faint yellow light.

Almost a second later, he then rushed forward, aiming to strike Gerald's shoulder! Seeing that, the other three men started to launch their own attacks!

While Will says that the chieftain didn't allow them to kill Gerald, they could still hurt him!

Looking at the four attacking men, Gerald could not help but frown a little as he placed his left arm behind him. Positioning his right hand in front, Gerald then easily blocked the leader's attack.

After which, he elbowed the leader before kicking him back! With the leader's body colliding with the other three men, the four of them immediately found themselves lying on the ground. Gerald had finished them all off in just one move.!

"What, is this cultivation family weak?"

Gerald asked as he looked at them calmly.

After hearing that, the men quickly helped each other. While their status within the Crawford family was not really worth being proud of, they were still serious cultivators within the family.

With that in mind, being defeated by Gerald in just one move was unacceptable! Still, knowing that they had underestimated Gerald's strength, the leader quickly spat out,

"It seems like you are quite skilled too!"

"Look, don't waste our time again. Tell me where the Island of Longing is!"

Reply Gerald, not wanting to waste time dealing with minions.

Shouted the leader - who had now gathered his strength again - as he began to hurl several blows into the air!

With how fast his fists moved, every leaf that fell in his path ended up dancing in the wind as clouds of dust after clouds of dust formed.! Laughing as he saw that, one of the other men then disdainfully shouted,

"Let go, Gerald! Among the Crawford family members, he was the best at Arm Boxing! We really don't want to end up accidentally killing you, you know? How do we explain that to the chief!"

While it is true that Gerald was the grandson of the chieftain, he did not grow up as a cultivator along with the other Crawford families. With that in mind, how powerful was he really?

Chapter 2025.

They, on the other hand, had developed their combat skills in the Crawford family from the very beginning. With that in mind, they were all very confident that they would be able to represent the Crawford family in the upcoming cultivation competition.

Who knows, if they managed to perform well in the competition, they could become disciples of the chieftain! At that time, they had become the stars of the Crawford family, and if everything went smoothly, they could even become one of the prospective successors in the eyes of the chieftain!

After all, even though Daryl was a cultivator, he was already very old. Right now in his eighties, he would probably die in another twenty to thirty years.

"Fisty Arm?"

Gerald replied while narrowing his eyes.

He recalls his father mentioning that the first head of the Crawford family had developed a powerful boxing technique known as Arm Fist.

The technique itself is very powerful due to the fact that it is a combination of four separate boxing techniques. Under normal circumstances, learning the basics of the technique alone was enough to defeat a strong cultivator.

Damn for that guy, his opponent is Gerald. Gerald himself could not help but laugh as he shook his head while thinking about his current situation.

It is ironic that despite being the grandson of Daryl – and being the rightful successor of the Crawford family -, the, he was now attacked by the strongest cultivators of the Crawford main family just so that he could not go to Longing Island.

As if that wasn't ironic enough yet, they even fought him off using a technique created by the Crawford family!

In the end, though Gerald dislikes Crawford's family - he also dislikes Daryl -, Crawford's blood still running inside him.

Whatever the case, the man from before fused his fists together, producing a loud metallic sound as he shouted,

"Indeed! Bet, b*stard like you've never heard of it before! It doesn't matter! I'll just show it to you if you keep resisting!"

"Come, show me then!"

Gerald replied with a smile.

To be honest, Gerald didn't really want to kill any of Crawford if he could help. Terenzio himself only ended up dead because he tried to harm those close to him.

Either way, knowing that those people would not accept receiving no answers, Gerald withdrew his essential qi before entering a fighting position.

Upon seeing that, the man immediately stomped his right foot to the ground - sending out even more swirling clouds of dust into the air - before darting forward!

Once he got close enough to the young man, he started launching punch attacks so fast that they were almost invisible!

Seeing that, Aiden could not help but hold on to the fence as tightly as possible, cold sweat running down his forehead. He swore if Gerald was close to losing, he would take action immediately.!

Slightly frowning, Gerald inevitably said,

"So it's the Crawford family's Arm Boxing technique...?"

Shaking his head, Gerald then took a deep breath before swinging his fist right towards the incoming man's arm.!

What followed was a sharp 'crack' that drew everyone's attention to the scene.

The trio themselves could not help but smile. After all, they-of all people-know that a single blow with the Arm Boxing technique was enough to split steel.

Since Gerald had swung his fist towards the punch, the three of them had no doubt that his arm must have been completely broken.
