Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 869 “Appreciate the cooperation. We’ll come over to take the properties from you in seven days,” saidPhilip.novelbin

With that, Gerald began leaving and his subordinates followed behind him.

The other guests didn’t dare remain there either after witnessing the terrible incident that had justbefallen the Long family. They, too, hurried out after Gerald’s men were gone.

“Dad… Why? Why did you sign it?! What’s the big deal? We could’ve just fought against them! After all,we’re not afraid to die!” cried out one of the middle-aged men.

A harsh slap from Master Long was his immediate response!

“You b*stard! Do you truly want our entire family to be ruined beyond the point of no return? Do youwish for the Longs to have no descendants to leave behind?!” roared Master Long glaring at himfiercely as his lips continued twitching furiously.

“We’ve been completely defeated by the Crawford siblings this time! While we’ve continuously plottedagainst them in secret all these years, their background is simply too powerful!” added Master Long ashe clenched his fists tightly.

“But… But dad! We’re left with nothing now!”

“That’s true. We no longer own anything!” replied Master long with a nod.

“However, we still have our history spanning centuries! We won’t disappear from Weston that easily!After all, we still have a last resort!”

“A… last resort?”

Master Long nodded in response before saying, “Have you heard… of the Moldell family in Yanken?”

“The Moldells…?”

As the other Longs took turns shaking their heads, Master Long added, “That’s right. They’re the mostsecretive family in all of Weston. I believe that they’re our only shot at going against the Crawfords.”

He then squinted his eyes before continuing, “A dozen or so years ago, the Long family still had contactwith that family. However, after a certain incident happened, we ceased all contact with them”

“What exactly happened, dad?” asked one of the Longs.

“Humph! It all happened the year the son of the Moldell’s Second Master came over as a guest! Sincethe Moldells preferred living in seclusion, its family members tended to stay out of affairs outside theirown. The only exception was the Second Master’s son. He went by the name of KortMoldell, andcontrary to the rest of his family, he simply couldn’t stay away from all the sensual pleasures he couldexperience in the outside world!”

“Kort was an ambitious man, he was! In fact, he was so ambitious that on the day he came as a guest,he actually threatened us right off the bat! Putting it simply, he wanted to be the backbone of our family.If we had agreed back then, he would’ve secretly helped us become an internationally renowned andwealthy family! However, had we chosen to go down that route, the Longs would’ve essentially sealedtheir fate to be nothing more than his lackeys!” explained Master Long.

“What wishful thinking he had! Even if we would’ve become internationally renowned, we’d still only behis puppets in the end, unable to act against his bidding!” sneered the Long family’s eldest son.

“And that’s exactly why I rejected that offer! The Longs would’ve had to drop our surname if we hadagreed, taking up the surname of Moldell instead! Even if riches and prestige were on the line, Icouldn’t just abandon our family surname that our ancestors had carried on for so long!”

“Then… What happened after that? Since Kort had such great ambitions, surely he wouldn’t haveallowed you to refuse that easily, right?” asked another Long.

“But of course not! Some twenty-five years ago, Kort finally had his revenge on our family. Do you stillremember the incident where Shaw was attacked by others just moments after being born, Joel? As aresult, Shaw grew up to be a fool who barely had any sanity!”

“Of course I do! Though I wanted to investigate it, you wouldn’t let me! It’s still a mystery to me now!”

“Yes, well… That was Kort’s doing. If we had investigated it, our family would’ve eventually fallen intoruin. It was his way of sending us a reminder!” replied Master Long.

Shaw was the second young master of the Long family who never made any appearances regardlessof the occasion. After all, he truly was a person who bore no semblance of sanity.

“Speaking of which, where is Shaw?” asked Master Long.

“The Second young lady’s brought him out to have some fun!”
