Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1351

With that in mind, Yume suddenly found herself growing extremely envious of the woman that Gerald had fallen for.

Shaking the thought off, she then asked. “…So… You retrieved the woman in white just so Gerald would take the

initiative to come look for us…?”

“Indeed. After all, that is by far the safest way to lure Gerald to us! With any luck, we’ll eventually be able to

capture him! Regardless, I truly hadn’t expected that he would actually manage to flee from us so many times! I

was already prepared to receive good news from Felton ages ago, but to think that he was successful in escaping

again!”

“…Say, grandma… The Herculean Primordial Spirit… Is it hidden within his body…? Does that mean that once you

capture him, you’ll have to harm or kill Gerald…?” asked Yume.

Shaking her head slightly, Yreth then replied, “As you’ve said, we only require the Herculean Primordial Spirit.

Whether we kill him or not depends entirely on him!”

The second she heard that, Yume instantly knelt with a ‘thud’ before saying, “Please, grandma, I beg of you…

Please don’t kill Gerald! Not only is he a good person, but since there’s no real reason to kill him, there’s no need

for you to take his life then, right…?”

Pondering on Yume’s statement for quite a while, Yreth eventually said, “…I’ll be making the final decision on that.

However, I can promise you that I’ll only kill him if he shows any resistance or tries to fight back! If he doesn’t, then

I’ll keep him alive!”

Upon hearing that, Yume couldn’t help but feel like a heavy load had just been lifted off her heart. Looking at her

overjoyed granddaughter, Yreth could only smile bitterly as she shook her head before saying, “Now hurry up and

get to your feet already, silly granddaughter of mine!”

“Of course, grandma! Still, if not many people across the globe know about this secret, how did you find out about

it? As a top master, I’m sure he had no shortage of enemies. With that in mind, it wouldn’t make sense for him to

allow so many people to find him upon being reincarnated for the ninth time, right…?” asked Yume curiously.

“It seems that I’ve not doted on you in vain. Now wouldn’t it have been wonderful if Felton was half as smart as you

were. Regardless, your doubts are indeed, warranted. While it’s true that he’s akin to an ancient and flawless god,

nothing in this world is perfect. With that in mind, even though he managed to keep the secret hidden for tens of

thousands of years, those determined enough to crack the code eventually managed to get that information, and

Gerald himself had only been able to find out about so much due to this. As for our own family, we found out about

the secret due to some vile villain sharing the information with us some forty years ago! Of course, he wasn’t doing

it for free, and the condition to obtain that information was for our family to hand the Dead Annie Mother over to

him!”

“Eventually, we found out that after obtaining the magic artifact, he had planned to annihilate the Gunters! To think

that he nearly wiped our entire family through deception alone!”

“…So… Is this the same enemy who was seeking revenge on us forty years ago…? The one whom you sent all the

societies to hunt down? So is the reason behind all that!”

“I’m glad that you’re finally understanding everything! Also, if it isn’t already evident enough, several forces have

already found out about Gerald’s true identity and have already begun taking action. While we’re on the topic, you

should know that Gerald’s rapid training growth isn’t due to him having some sort of special physique. Oh no, it’s

simply because someone out there is helping him unlock his many potentials. Oddly enough, that person isn’t

releasing all of it in one go, only in small bits at a time. To make it easier to grasp, you can imagine the person

scooping water out from the ocean, one ladle at a time.”

“However, knowledge of that only makes Gerald all the more terrifying. After all, Gerald is already this strong

despite not even having unlocked his full potential! Should there come a time where he successfully regains all his

power, then we’ll all be mere ants to him! Just being stepped on by him would kill us! By that point, not only will the

Gunters be unable to ever rise again, but we’ll also constantly be facing disaster and tragedy! With that in mind, do

you now understand why both our family and the Judgment Portal are so fearful of Gerald…?”

“Speaking of which, I’ll have you know that I’ve secretly observed him in the past. Though he used to have a very

weak temperament in the past and he was both wimpy and fragile at best, I can’t pinpoint when it started, but he

eventually grew more and more cold-hearted, careful, and meticulous. To make matters worse, he’s growing even

more quickly now than he ever has before! It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that you’ll notice obvious differences in

Gerald even after just a few days of not meeting him! Such changes could be so drastic that there’s a possibility

that you won’t even be able to tell who he is at all!”
