Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1020 Following that sound, a glimpse of something flying extremely quickly could be seen, and barely asecond later, Damian’s screams of agony filled the air!

Not even questioning the self-returning dagger, the moment Zander saw Damian’s body flop lifelesslyto the ground, he immediately started excitedly shouting, “H-he’s dead! He’s finally dead!”

Turning to look at Gerald, he then said, “Mr. Crawford, you’ve done a massive favor for the Lovewells! Imust repay you properly on behalf of my family!”

“As was promised, all I want is the Book of Beasts!” replied Gerald as he returned a subtle smile toZander.

Immediately after hearing that, Zander froze in place.

As he began trying to change the topic, Haven herself—who had been hiding with her siblings in theforested area this entire time—covered her mouth as she said, “D-did you see that sis? That really isGerald! And… And he’s amazing?!”

Xareni herself had been focused on him for a while now.

‘To think that Gerald came over to the Logan Province to help father… What an unpredictable man!’Xareni thought to herself, now extremely impressed with Gerald.

Midnight came shortly after and it was then when several of the Lovewells met up in the Lovewellmanor’s meeting hall.

While the Lovewells had initially been overjoyed to know that Damian—their biggest enemy—wasfinally dead, all of them became glum again as soon as Zander told them about Gerald’s request.

“No matter how great he is, at his core, he’s still just some reckless peasant! How dare he evendemand for the Book of Beasts!” shouted one of the family members as he slammed his fist against thetable in anger.

Zander himself had been playing around a keychain for a while now, seemingly deep in thought.Closing his eyes momentarily, the moment he opened them again, his tone was serious as he said, “…Well, this is all my fault to begin with… I won’t deny that I had initially thought that no matter how greathe was, he was essentially just a killing machine. I had assumed that he would be pleased as long aswe gave him money or women. I even went so far as to think about chances for him to work for us inthe future! However, I failed to realize that in the end, what he was truly after was the Book of Beasts!And here I thought he was helping us because of Kaleb’s status! To think that that man actuallythreatened me for the book during a life or death situation!”

“Master, the Book of Beasts is a treasure that belongs only to the Lovewells! We can’t just give it tohim!” shouted another family member.

“I’m well aware of that. However, I had promised to hand him the book and if we don’t give it to him, hecould grow upset! Unlike Kaleb, we can’t just dismiss him easily. After all, he’s even more dangerousthan Damian! That itself is the biggest concern!”

“Hahaha! Have no worries, brother, for I have an idea! If all goes well, then not only will we be able tokeep the Book of Beasts for ourselves, but we’ll also be able to rid ourselves of this Gerald person!”announced a middle-aged man as he squinted his eyes.

“What’s your plan, Zayn?” asked Zander.

“Heh, after hearing about Gerald, I ordered my men to investigate more about him. Granted, I didn’t getmany results. I did, however, manage to find out that he’s currently carrying a very large secret!” repliedZayn.

“While we don’t really have any connections with the Moldells in Logan, did you know that those fromtheir family had ordered all the wealthy businessmen down South to kill a youth by the name of Geraldabout a year ago? If I’m not mistaken, the Gerald who had taken Damian down also came from thesouth. He looks exactly like how the Moldells had described their Gerald back then as well! Do youthink that he’s the one they’re looking for, brother?” added Zayn with a smile.

After hearing all that, Zander finally placed his keychain down, feeling that he had just learned a greatdeal.

“If everything you’ve said is true, then I can see where you’re coming from, Zayn! With the Moldellsbeing so powerful and having so many great people in their family, being able to use that to ouradvantage would be great!” replied Zander as he laughed.

“But Master, for what reason would the Moldells have to help us? After all, we have nothing of interestfor them! If things go south, we may even end up getting on their bad side! Then again, it’s no secretthat the Moldells have always had plans to take over our family. They’ve only refrained from doing sosince we have thousands of years’ worth of history in the Logan Province. They’re also well aware thatchallenging us here could very well affect the province’s economy. Regardless, with all that in mind, doyou really think that they’d even consider lending us a hand?” said another person from the group asthey raised their concerns.

“Of course they would! Don’t forget that we have the person they’re hunting for! Even if they’re notdoing it for us, they’d still take Gerald away which is exactly what we want! The problem now is that wenovelbin

need to find someone to hold him back. If we manage to recruit him, then we’ll spare his life. If hechooses not to join us, then his fate will be decided by the Modells!” declared Zander.

As the meeting continued on without any signs of ending soon, the lights in Gerald’s room remained onas well.

He had been studying the map that Kaleb had given him, and from what he had learned, the map wasdefinitely going to be very helpful for when Gerald actually traversed through the woods.

All of a sudden, a knock could be heard from the door.
