Chapter 1147

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1147 From how pained his voice had sounded as the young lord continued lying on the ground, it was almostas though he was thinking about some unspeakable grief.

“…You… hate women?” inquired Gerald as he couldn’t help but stare coldly at the young lord.

“You probably wouldn’t believe me even if I explained it to you… After all, from the moment I was born,I’ve always only been known as the high and mighty young lord of the Holy Witchcraft… Whileeveryone tends to get jealous of me, I can safely say that throughout the years, I’ve never truly beenhappy… You know, I’ve hated that woman ever since I was young… Because of her, I ended up hatingall other women! The woman in question… She was my mother!” explained the young lord.

Upon hearing that, Gerald felt his eyelids twitch slightly.

He had never heard of anyone claiming to resent their mother as strongly as the young lord had… Afterall, who on this planet wouldn’t love the one who had birthed them? However, Gerald could sense thatthe young lord wasn’t lying due to the immense pain reflected in the youth’s eyes.

Could it truly be that this cruel and unscrupulous man was only the way he currently was due todifficulties he had previously encountered?

“…Why exactly do you hate her?”

“…I was three when my first memory came to be… I… I witnessed that scene right before my veryeyes… My mother… She killed my father in front of me!” said the young lord, his voice sounding evenmore pained than before.

“…I still remember my father’s expression back then… Before he died, he had wanted to hold my handone last time, you know…? As a mere child, I was beyond terrified back then… She didn’t have theslightest regret in her at all… Hell, she didn’t even care about me! Even after all these years, that scenekeeps playing back in my mind… It’s like a curse that wishes to continue torturing me till the end oftime!”

“And she wasn’t the only one either! Grandma disliked me as well! She kept scolding me… Calling mean illegitimate child… If I wasn’t the only child of the Tindall family, I truly believe that I would’ve alreadybeen beaten to death long ago by those two monstrous women… In the end, I took up their surnameso I now belong to the Tindalls of the Holy Witchcraft… It’s an immense pity that even till this very day, Istill don’t know what my father’s surname is…!”

Following that, the young lord looked up before adding, “You must be thinking how chaotic therelationships within my family are, correct? Humph! …You see, my father was a live-in husband… Itook up my mother’s surname and my grandma is actually from the maternal side of the family…”

“Regardless, since I was treated that way by both of them, I’ve always had an innate feeling that allwomen are wicked! …However, I’m also aware that the women I’ve hurt before this were innocent. Youcan choose not to believe me, but every time I hurt a woman, I end up repenting for a very long time…Hell, I even wish to compensate the families of the women I’ve hurt… However, as the young lord, Isimply can’t do that… I have to constantly obey my grandma’s orders… After all, we from the HolyWitchcraft are far more superior compared to anyone else… Due to that, we are expected to bedecisive when killing others when we do so!”

“But… I just can’t! I can’t be decisive when taking an innocent life! However, my grandma keepswanting me to learn how to kill others! You know, I was already starting to turn wild and evil before myattempt to run away when I was eight…”

“It stemmed from an event that had happened when I was still in first grade… Back then, I got to knowa particularly kind girl who went by the name of Lola Leeman… She was the reason why my viewsbegan wavering back then… She showed me that such good girls existed in the world as well… While Itried to resist thinking that way for the longest time, eventually, her enthusiasm and kindness ended uptouching me. From that point on, we began learning and playing together… Such simple times…”

Laughing slightly bitterly as he reminisced, the young lord then continued, “…We made a promise, youknow? That we would marry each other once we grew up… I distinctly remembered her telling me thatwhile we were on our way home from school one day… Upon hearing that, I asked if she would kill mein the future, which resulted in her chuckling all the way home… Naturally, we were just fooling aroundback then… What would we know about love at that age… That, however, was the last evening I evermet her… She had been killed, and it was only sometime later when I came to learn that the murdererwas my grandma!”novelbin

Upon saying that, the young lord began crying as he dug his fingers into the ground, holding on towhatever dirt he could, tightly.

“After that happened, I told myself that I would run away as far as I could to distance myself from thosetwo women… With that in mind, I rowed a boat out into sea together with Lola’s cremated remains…After all, Lola once told me that she loved the idea of watching the sunset while riding a boat…Granting her wish was the least I could do…”

“After rowing for quite a while, I realized that I could no longer tell where the shore was. With the sunquickly setting, I thought that I was definitely going to starve to death out at sea back then. However, itwas then when I first bumped into Angelica… She looked extremely beautiful and gentle, and to befrank, her character was very similar to Lola’s… At the time, she had been standing atop a woodenboat all dressed in white as she played her flute… She honestly looked like a fairy, now that I thinkabout it…”

Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but focus more on the young lord’s story.

Finnley had previously taught Gerald the mind-reading tactic. After learning it, Gerald found that aslong as someone was weaker than him, he would definitely be able to see through them. It wasbecause of that, that Gerald knew that the young lord hadn’t been lying this entire time.

What caught his attention, however, was the young lord’s mention of a woman dressed in white. Howintriguing…

A woman playing a flute atop a wooden boat out at sea when it was nearing dusk… Gerald’s mentalimage of the young lord’s description made him feel that the woman in white was definitely anextraordinary person…

“…Regardless, she was the one who had saved me… She was also the one responsible for teachingme a few skills such as bone crush, golden escape, and turtle breathing tactics… She told me tocontinue training the skills in secret, making sure nobody knows about them… According to her, theskills would eventually help me manage my destiny!” added the young lord as he wiped his tears away.

“…I, Chestar Tindall, have said everything that I’ve needed to… After letting out all of this, I can’t denythat I’m feeling better than ever, knowing that once I’m dead, I won’t have to bear this heavy burdenanymore… Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story… Before you kill me, please allow me toask for one final favor from you!” said Chester.

“What is it?” asked Gerald.
