Chapter 1558
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1558 The Turnbulls were a family that had existed for hundreds of years, and there were many exceptionaland powerful people within that family who had influential backgrounds. Due to that, they had alwaysbehaved rather recklessly since nobody could really stand up against them.
With all that in mind, Hooper had never imagined that his son would die so horribly. Hugging onto themany pieces of his son’s corpse, Hooper felt as a cocktail of grief, hatred, and wrath began brewing inhis heart…
Upon seeing his reaction, everyone sensible enough immediately took a few steps back.
Still trembling, Hooper then turned to look at Lenox as he growled, “…Who… Who’s responsible forkilling my son…?!”
Quivering in fear, Lenox then replied, “T-the person who did it… is the one my family’s been lookingeverywhere for! The deed was done by Gerald!”
“…What?! Gerald?!” roared Hooper, his eyes now a bloody-red as murderous intent exuded from everyorifice on his body.
Watching all this play out, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man—who had been sitting at the side—then declared, “I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family, Hooper… Regardless, toavenge my nephew, I’ll be ordering those from the army to capture that Gerald! Once we have him, I’llbe sure to make him suffer terribly!”
Turning to look at the middle-aged man—who was from the royal family—the crazed-looking Hooperthen replied, “There’s no need for that! Once we have him, the Turnbulls will be devouring every inch ofhis flesh and drinking all his blood!”
As he began weeping tears of blood, a voice suddenly shouted, “Do you honestly think that you twocan capture Gerald? You’re both just idiots! It’s really no wonder why your son ended up dying soterribly! Regardless, knowing that boy’s temper, you don’t have to waste any effort trying to capturehim. He’ll probably be taking the initiative to come look for you! Hahaha! That silly, silly boy! I bet hethinks that massacring all of you will eventually force me out! Either way, your Turnbulls have zerochance to escape his wrath by this point. Your threats won’t work against him either since to him,you’re all quite literally as easy to kill as mere ants!”novelbin
Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice… And there, slowly walkingtoward them from the middle of the national banquet hall, was an old man donning black robes…
The second Lenox saw him, he instantly began sweating profusely as he said, “M-master…!”
Following that, he fearfully zipped his mouth tight before kowtowing in the direction of the old man.
Even Hooper and Greyson Leacock—the person who had come from the royal family in the GloyvState—grew frightened when they realized that the old man was present.
After both of them greeted him, Hooper then asked, “About what you said earlier… How could you beso sure, master…?”
“How couldn’t I be? I’m the one who knows him best in this entire world!” retorted the old man as heslowly took off his black hood…
If Gerald was here to witness this, he’d surely have been extremely surprised to find out the trueidentity of that old man!
From how well the old man knew the boy, he assumed that Gerald would probably think somethingalong the lines of, ‘It… It was grandpa Daryl this entire time…?! The person who I respected so much
in the past?! I… I don’t think he’s my grandpa anymore… From what I can see, he’s now nothing but aschemer who’s been acting behind the scenes this entire time!’
Regardless, Gerald would probably feel shocked by his appearance as well. After all, Daryl’s eyes hadnow gone fully scarlet, and his lips were a frightening shade of purple and black. There were even hintsof divine lines on his forehead that glowed red… Together, this combination made him look like ahuman who had made it halfway down the route of becoming a true devil…
Smiling subtly, Daryl then laughed before sneering, “I’ve spent way too much time and effort to get mymajor plan to this point! After all, I had to pretend to be his grandfather for quite a while in order tomanipulate him without getting suspected! Even so, it was all worth it since I was able to make andwatch him slowly mature… In a way, what I did isn’t unlike watching a seed I planted slowly grow andeventually blossom… However, a slight change in plans happened right before I was able to pick thefruits of my efforts! Though that’s beside the point. Regardless, I’m sure you now know why I said Iknow him so well!”
“…Wait. Don’t tell me that… Gerald is the product of the Herculean Golden Base…? I rememberpeculiar things happening in the sky over twenty years ago… Following that, the Herculean GoldenBase had sent several forces to explore its product…” said Hooper, greatly bewildered.
As for Greyson, he took in a deep breath before adding, “…You’ve said before that this HerculeanGolden Base is also known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, right, master…? I also recall you sayingthat it’s the strongest power between heaven and earth… So strong, in fact, that whoever gains it willbe able to achieve immortality! Thinking back, it was around fifty years ago when you saved afisherman couple… Following that, you even gave them a lot of money in order to obtain the HerculeanGolden Base that was about to befall their descendants… Since Gerald is so powerful, could it be thathe’s that heir…?”
“Bingo. Either way, the demonic power granted me not only strength, but also the ability to foresee thefuture! With this much power, I’m only able to enjoy myself if my plan goes flawlessly! Sadly enough, Ididn’t consider the fact that people would secretly try to help Gerald along the way! Thanks to them,he’s grown a bit too powerful for my taste and my plans were almost ruined!” grumbled Daryl as heclenched his fists tightly…
