Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1699

Regardless, after the lion was tamed, the rest of the night was rather quiet and uneventful. With that inmind, Gerald and the four others were well-rested by the time morning came.

Since the South Wastelands wasn’t exactly an area one could call safe, the group of five decided to setoff as early as possible. Naturally, Gerald made sure to open the map first to find out where they wereheaded next before actually starting their journey.

Shortly after, he declared that they were headed to Dragonblood City next. With any luck, they’d beable to find the gem there…

There were many rumors surrounding the ancient Dragonblood City, the most famous one being aboutthe existence of an ancient Blood Dragon within the city’s grounds. Within said dragon, was supposedlyan object known as the Dragonblood Ball, and whoever managed to obtain the item was said to be ableto gain the powers of the Blood Dragon.

While the tale was certainly compelling, Gerald wasn’t going there in search of the Dragonblood Ball.He was strictly going after the Scintillating Gem, which was why he showed little interest in obtainingthe Dragonblood Ball.

Either way, Gerald and his group of friends finally arrived at Dragonblood City after walking the entiremorning.

However, just as they were entering the city’s grounds, the group of five watched as severalaggressive-looking people began riding their horses past the city’s gates! Had it not been for their quickreactions, they’d surely have ended up getting trampled by those horses!

Staring at the riders, each of them seemed to have immensely murderous auras which only served toamplify how demonic those people were. While terrifying, it certainly set up the premise that theyweren’t ordinary people who could be trifled with.

Regardless, the fact that they had just barely avoided getting hurt prompted Zelig to scowl, “Who thehell were those brutes?!”

Upon hearing that question, Ray instantly replied, “They’re from the Hulkeroic Union!”

As everyone turned to look at Ray—unsure how he even knew about such a group—Gerald couldn’thelp but ask, “The Hulkeroic Union…?”

Understanding that Gerald and the others wouldn’t know about the Hulkeroic Union since they werenew to the Leicom Continent, Ray then explained, “They’re a powerful force within Dragonblood City…”

“…I see. Call it a gut feeling, but I feel like they aren’t very nice people!” replied Gerald in a decisivetone.

Rei simply shrugged without saying another word, his silence a clear sign that what Gerald had statedwas right.

True enough, the Hulkeroic Union was infamous for doing all kinds of outrageous and lawbreakingactivities within Dragonblood City. The fact that the force was so strong only served to make itsmembers more violent during their rampant acts of savagery.novelbin

With that in mind, locals of the city knew that it was best to just stay away from them. After all,offending them would only bring unnecessary trouble to themselves…

Either way, the group then continued strolling around Dragonblood City. The city, for one, was vastlydifferent compared to the area around Leicom Academy…

As they were walking on, the group suddenly heard a woman screaming!

After exchanging glances with each other, all five of them then hurried over to the source of thesound…

By the time they got there, they witnessed four men dragging a young woman into an alleyway! Someof them had even begun tearing her clothes off! To think that such heinous activities would occur, evenin broad daylight!

During times like these, someone needed to play the role of a white knight. Thankfully enough, Geraldwas best at doing that.

With that, the group immediately charged into the alleyway together…
