Ch. 1966..1970: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1966-1970
Chapter 1966
V
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1966 Following the address in the notebook, Gerald soon came across a grocery store…
To his surprise, however, the store looked like it had been out of business for years. Even the store’s door was tightly closed!
Unsure how to even react to this, Gerald then began knocking on the store’s door… but even after a few knocks, not a sound could be heard coming from inside…
There went his hopes that someone was living inside…
Just as Gerald was about to dejectedly leave, he suddenly heard the creaking of an opening door…!
Turning around, Gerald was quick to realize that nobody was standing at the door! Though he momentarily froze, Gerald wasted no time and quickly entered the grocery store…
It was pitch black inside and strong musty smells emanated from every corner of the store… This place really needed a good cleaning…
Sensing that nobody was going to greet him first, Gerald took the initiative to declare, “Senior Christos Hamilton? Are you there? I’m a descendant of the Crawford family.”
“Come in!” replied a gruff voice from deeper inside the store.
Upon hearing that, Gerald was delighted. As it turned out, he really had found the right place!
With that, he quickly made his way to the room where the voice originated from… and upon arriving at the room’s entrance, he was greeted by the sight of several beer bottles scattered around a seated old
man who looked like he desperately needed a shower…
The entire room reeked of alcohol, and Gerald couldn’t help but shiver slightly as he stared at the messy -haired old man…
Chapter 1967
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1967 Truth be told, Gerald couldn’t believe that the person before him was the actual Christos Hamilton…
After all, according to the notebook, Christos was once one of the top figures in the cultivation world. In fact, he was probably even stronger than his ‘grandfather’! How did such a powerful figure end up in such a state…?
Whatever the case was, Gerald cleared his throat before warily asking, “…I… take it that you’re Senior Christos…?”
Hearing that, Christos then slowly raised his head to look at Gerald… Gerald himself wasn’t able to get a clear look at the old man’s facial features since his messy hair covered over half of his face…
“A descendant of the Crawfords you say… Tell me, who is Daryl Bodach to you?” asked Christos in a calm tone.
“Daryl… Bodach?” muttered the momentarily confused Gerald, though he quickly realized that Christos was probably talking about his ‘grandfather’.
To think that his ‘grandfather’ had chosen such a name for himself…
“He’s my grandfather!” replied Gerald rather unwillingly.
He didn’t really like calling that old bstard his grandfather anymore, but what other choice did he have if he wanted to get more information about the Autremonde Realm from Christos? “Hah! He’s your grandfather you say? Daryl has had many children and grandchildren! Why are you the only one who’s come looking for me after all these years? Cut the crp and just tell me what you’re really here for!” scoffed Christos in a disdainful tone.
From the looks of it, Christos really hated Daryl…
Chapter 1968
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1968 “Well, for one, my grandfather has died, and the Crawford family no longer exists… With that in mind, I should note that I’m here on my own behalf and not on behalf of my family. As for why I’m here, I’d like to ask you something… Is it true that you know how to access the Autremonde Realm…?” asked Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Christos momentarily went silent. Staring at Gerald for a while, the old man then asked in a cold tone, “…So what if I do?”
“Well, if you do, I’d like to learn more about that place. As for how I found out about the Autremonde Realm in the first place, I learned of its existence after reading about the realm in an old family notebook. The notebook also stated that you’ve been there before!” replied Gerald.
“Look, I’m sorry but I can’t tell you anything about that place! If there’s nothing else, then just leave already!” yelled Christos, firmly denying any form of help.
Hearing that, Gerald felt rather helpless. Even so, he could tell that Christos must have experienced something bad there… Why else would he be so against talking about the Autremonde Realm? Still, Gerald knew for a fact that forcing the old man to talk wouldn’t do him any good.
With that in mind, since he already knew that doing things the hard way wouldn’t get him anywhere, he may as well try using the soft way.
Following that thought, Gerald then left the grocery store… Though he returned soon after with several cans of beer as well as some food.
Hopefully, this would show Christos how sincere he was…
Fingers crossed that the old man would finally be willing to open up a little, Gerald then placed the beer and food before Christos.
Opening one of the beer cans and handing it to the old man, Gerald then said, “I know how powerful you are, senior Christos. With that in mind, I respect you a lot. Do have some beer and food and I hope you’ll be willing to at least have a talk with me after that!”
With so many beer bottles lying around, it wasn’t hard for Gerald to guess that the old man was pretty fond of drinking. It was probably to help Christos ease his pains…
Chapter 1969
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1969 Staring at Gerald for a good minute, Christos eventually sighed before taking the beer can that Gerald had handed out to him. After a few sips, Christos was prompted to say, “…You’re very different from Daryl, you know that? You don’t look or feel like his grandson at all! Regardless, despite the fact that he’s been a calculative person his entire life, it seems that even that couldn’t help him escape death.”
Sensing how greatly biased Christos was toward his ‘grandfather’, Gerald decided to change the topic by asking, “Senior Christos, could… you tell me what you know about the Autremonde Realm…? What kind of place is it…?”
Seemingly already expecting that question to come up again, Christos simply sighed as he replied, “Kid, be frank and tell me why you’re so curious about the Autremonde Realm… You can’t seriously be thinking of heading there, can you…?”
“That I am, senior Christos! After all, I want to obtain the Crawford Inheritance Power!” declared Gerald, no longer beating around the bush.
“So you really are after that power… You’re similar to Daryl in this aspect. After all, he wanted to obtain the inheritance power as well. Regardless, I’ll say it right now that the Autremonde Realm isn’t as simple as you think it is! It’s a place that we humans can’t ever reach!” replied Christos, sounding increasingly
agitated with each passing word…
Raising a slight brow, Gerald was prompted to ask, “…And why is that…2”
“You said you know how strong I am, right? Well, despite that fact, I almost lost my life there! What more, most of my face got destroyed while I was in the Autremonde Realm!”
Chapter 1970
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1970 After saying that, Christos sighed before moving his hair to the side, revealing his completely burned face…
Save for the narrow slits of his eyes and a tremendously misshapen nose and mouth, everything else was completely charred.
Naturally, this left Gerald shocked. After all, even such a powerful person like Christos ended up getting such terrible injuries in the Autremonde Realm… It seemed that that place truly was extremely dangerous…
Regardless, Christos then added in a serious tone, “Again, I advise you against getting any further information about the Autremonde Realm. Just forget about the inheritance power and live your life well… Otherwise, you’ll just end up like me!”
While Gerald knew Christos meant well, he was naturally not going to do as the old man said.
With that, Gerald then knelt before Christos before respectfully pleading, “I understand that you care for my well being, senior Christos… However, I insist that I go there, and in order to do so, I hope you’ll help me unlock the stone monument so that I can head to the Autremonde Realm!”
Upon hearing that, Christos could only sigh helplessly.
“While you don’t resemble Daryl, I see you’ve inherited his stubbornness… Well, since you’re so insistent on dying, so be it! Just understand that you’re to bear all the consequences of your actions!” said Christos, much to Gerald’s delight. Truth be told, Gerald only needed Christos’s help in opening the portal to the Autremonde Realm. Once he was there, he was already expecting to do everything else on his own.
While it was true that he thought that way so that Christos wouldn’t have to risk dying again by following him, Gerald was honestly more worried about having to deal with Christos’s drinking problems along the way if the old man came along…
