Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1504

Whatever the case was, Yaakov believed in his daughter’s insight and perception. With that said, he was certain that

she definitely wouldn’t end up falling for a man like Gerald.

“I see… Well, that’s fine for now. Regardless, while I promise to always be by your side no matter what, I hope that

you understand that you’ll eventually end up getting married to Stetson… After all, his future looks extremely

promising! With that said, I hope you mentally prepare yourself for that…” said Yaakov.

Since Xyrielle didn’t look like she was particularly against the idea, Yaakov left her room with ease in his heart.

As for Xyrielle, after watching her father leave, she felt her heart palpitate as she muttered, “…Gerald…”

So, her father had come over just to tell her all that… As a sense of loss filled her while muttering his name, she

could almost see his figure in his mind…

Fast forward to two days later, the underground festival was launched as scheduled.

On the day itself, no shortage of prestigious and influential families from all over the place could be seen gathered

at the venue. Of course, there were even more guests who were secretly attending after receiving special invitation

cards.

They were all here since according to how the previous underground festivals had gone, the champion of the

festival would gain a rank similar to the most powerful person in the world of martial arts. Aside from that, they

would also obtain the right to distribute a few mysterious items…

Regardless, it was also noteworthy that many families who had participated in the underground festival found

themselves rising up the ranks extremely quickly! In fact, it wasn’t a stretch to claim that many of the world’s most

powerful and major families today had relied on the underground festival to get to where they currently were! With

that in mind, any families looking to improve themselves would surely value the festival.

Of course, there were also quite a number of families who were foolishly attracted by the secrets of the attending

underground forces. Such families either ended up being cheated or forced to get money through thievery if they

didn’t have enough on hand.

Either way, while most of the ordinary people only attended the festival to enjoy the hustle and bustle, the insiders

all knew that the festival’s true purpose was to have deity-like people brawl against each other.

Despite how big the fights were, nobody ever dared to record a thing, which was why no relevant information had

yet to be leaked. After all, should information accidentally leak out, the family who had taken the recording would

most certainly be exterminated…

Moving on to the actual venue, while the festival was still being held within Heartstone Manor, it was now separated

into two main areas, that being aboveground and underground.

Comparing the two, the area aboveground was similar to the size of a kindergarten when placed side by side with

the university-sized underground area.

While the former was a place where regular bosses could entertain themselves, the latter was an area where

people dueled against each other in authentic battles!

Regardless, Gerald himself had just arrived with the Quantock family’s executives, alongside Julian and a few other

people from the Sherwin family.

Just as they were about to enter, however, a smiling woman—who had been chatting with her friends while walking

toward the main door—suddenly froze before calling out, “…Gerald? What are you doing here?”

Hearing that, Gerald turned around to see who the owner of the feminine voice was… and was instantly shocked

when he realized who she was!

“Oh? Fancy meeting you here!” replied Gerald with a slightly helpless smile as he looked at the woman.

“Why wouldn’t I be here? Still, it hasn’t been that long since we’ve last met! Why are you treating me as though I’m

a stranger? Regardless, weren’t you unable to obtain an admission ticket? How did you manage to enter this place

then? Either way, now that we’ve bumped into each other, I’d like to ask you to do me a favor!” said the woman

with a chuckle.

The woman in question was none other than Xaverie. As for the other girls in her group, they were naturally also

friends of Xyrielle’s. Xyrielle herself wasn’t present, though it was completely understandable. After all, she was one

of the function’s main characters, so there was no way she was going to be able to stay by her friends’ sides like

how she usually did.

Whatever the case was, Xaverie couldn’t deny that she was curious about all the people accompanying Gerald here

today… Still, she wasn’t too afraid since she ended up subconsciously thinking about Gerald’s true identity.

With that, she then grabbed onto his arm, making it extremely evident that she wanted to lead him someplace no

matter what he said.

Seeing that, Yule looked like he wanted to say something before whispering, “Master…”

While the Quantocks no longer controlled or managed Jenny City, they were still a family that owned extraordinary

strength. If someone was disrespecting their master, they’d surely have to teach that person a lesson!

Understanding what Yule was getting at, Gerald simply signaled for him and the rest to stand down for now. After

all, while she was slightly capricious, she hadn’t really done anything wrong to him.

With that in mind, Gerald revealed a bitter smile of resignation as he said, “All of you head on in… I’ll see what she

needs help with first before regrouping with you…”
