Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 786 “Yes, that must be him!”

As the crowd of people gulped, not even daring to speak loudly, the new group of people continuedwalking forward till they were right in front of Bryson. Each person in that group exuded an equallystrong aura.

“Is that you, Fynn?” asked Bryson as he smiled at the old man.

“Indeed it is, Lord Fenderson. It’s been a long time since we’ve last met! I trust you’ve been well sincethen!” replied Fynn with a slight smile.

“I have. Still, all those years… Gone just like that! To think that the young boy who used to always stickaround Daryl is now an old man… If it wasn’t because of your unchanging, sharp as ever eyes, Iwouldn’t have been able to recognize you at all! It really has been too long!” said Bryson, his tonetinged with regrets as he reminisced.

After all, back in the day, Bryson and Daryl were so close that they even considered each other to bebrothers. The old man that now stood before him went by the name of Fynn, and he used to be Daryl’ssubordinate then. Time, however, waits for no one and things were completely different now.

“A long time indeed…”novelbin

A calm smile was on Fynn’s face as he said that. While at their roots, grievances still existed betweenthe Crawfords and the Fendersons, regardless of whether they were still competing against each otherin secret or not, they still had to treat each other politely.

As for the ‘Mr. Crawford’ standing beside Fynn, he looked rather carefree as he scanned through thearea. However, his demeanor changed the moment his gaze fell upon somebody standing within thecrowd.

“…Huh? It’s you?”

“So you’re the one who came?”

The woman who had spoken in unison with ‘Mr. Crawford’ was none other than Xavia.

While he was clearly surprised to see Xavia there, Xavia was even more astonished. After all, she hadmet and dealt with this person before.

He wasn’t Mr. Crawford! The young man with beady eyes was Gerald’s godbrother, Yoel! The son ofthe richest man in County State!

Why was he here? Though it wasn’t Gerald, Xavia still began feeling inexplicably nervous at thatmoment.

“Aren’t you the Holden family’s young master? Why were you given the title of Mr. Crawford fromNorthbay?” asked Xavia, her face slightly pale.

Hearing that, Jasmine was surprised. After all, when she had first heard that he was Mr. Crawford, shehad been wondering if this was the one whom she was contractually bound to marry.

As it turned out, he wasn’t, or at least from what Xavia had said.

Feeling slightly embarrassed after she said that, Yoel then replied, “Now who said that I was Mr.Crawford? I’m just here to join in the fun and excitement!”

“Wait, so if he’s not Mr. Crawford… Then where’s the real one?”

Everyone was surprised by the turn of events.

“Hahaha! It seems that we’ve made a real fool of ourselves this time! Let me explain. There are tworeasons why we’re here today. Our first is to represent Mr. Crawford and the Crawford family to presentyour birthday gift to you. After all, after all these years, even our family has regretted some of the thingsthat have happened in the past. We’ve been meaning to have a talk with the Fendersons for a longtime now, but we simply haven’t heard any news about your family throughout all these years!” saidFynn as he smiled faintly.

“Not to worry, however, Lord Fenderson. As long as the Crawford family is around, I believe thatnobody will even dare to cause any trouble for you on your birthday!”

As soon as Noah and the others heard that, they felt themselves gulping before each taking a stepback.

“As for the second matter, the Crawfords would like to take Miss Queta and Madam Xara back with us.After all, the madam is the sister-in-law of the Crawford family’s head. Miss Queta herself is a memberof the Crawford family. I believe that this is both an understandable and reasonable request, LordFenderson!”

Bryson took in a deep breath upon hearing that. So things had already advanced to this stage.

Since the Crawford family had actually come all the way here, they must have already been fullyprepared for the visit.

Even though Bryson tried thinking and considering the overall situation, in the end, he didn’t even knowwhat to say. After all, the Crawfords now knew where the Fendersons lived, which meant that theywere now officially susceptible to danger at all times.

However, the Fendersons themselves were holding on to a trump card which was very important toDylan. It was because of that, that Bryson believed that Dylan wouldn’t try to go overboard any timesoon.

The current best choice of action would be for both parties to negotiate and talk things through.

“Well of course it is!” replied Bryson with a nod.

“However, do remember that the Fenderson family used to be on par with the Crawfords, Fynn. Whileyou said that the young master of the Crawford family wanted to wish me a happy birthday andcelebrate my eightieth birthday together, it seems that he isn’t present. While he did send someonehere in his stead, I don’t think that it justifies me handing over both my daughter and granddaughterover to the Crawfords,” said Bryson as he fixed his gaze on Fynn.

“Hahaha! Now who said that our young master wasn’t here? In fact, he’s already arrived at theFenderson family mansion a day in advance to make all your birthday preparations, Lord Fenderson!”replied Fynn as he laughed.

“…What? What do you mean Mr. Crawford’s already arrived?” replied Bryson in surprise.

“Mr. Crawford’s already here? Where is he?”

Everyone was equally astonished.
