Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1699
Regardless, after the lion was tamed, the rest of the night was rather quiet and uneventful. With that in mind,
Gerald and the four others were well-rested by the time morning came.
Since the South Wastelands wasn’t exactly an area one could call safe, the group of five decided to set off as early
as possible. Naturally, Gerald made sure to open the map first to find out where they were headed next before
actually starting their journey.
Shortly after, he declared that they were headed to Dragonblood City next. With any luck, they’d be able to find the
gem there…
There were many rumors surrounding the ancient Dragonblood City, the most famous one being about the
existence of an ancient Blood Dragon within the city’s grounds. Within said dragon, was supposedly an object
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknown as the Dragonblood Ball, and whoever managed to obtain the item was said to be able to gain the powers of
the Blood Dragon.
While the tale was certainly compelling, Gerald wasn’t going there in search of the Dragonblood Ball. He was strictly
going after the Scintillating Gem, which was why he showed little interest in obtaining the Dragonblood Ball.
Either way, Gerald and his group of friends finally arrived at Dragonblood City after walking the entire morning.
However, just as they were entering the city’s grounds, the group of five watched as several aggressive-looking
people began riding their horses past the city’s gates! Had it not been for their quick reactions, they’d surely have
ended up getting trampled by those horses!
Staring at the riders, each of them seemed to have immensely murderous auras which only served to amplify how
demonic those people were. While terrifying, it certainly set up the premise that they weren’t ordinary people who
could be trifled with.
Regardless, the fact that they had just barely avoided getting hurt prompted Zelig to scowl, “Who the hell were
those brutes?!”
Upon hearing that question, Ray instantly replied, “They’re from the Hulkeroic Union!”
As everyone turned to look at Ray—unsure how he even knew about such a group—Gerald couldn’t help but ask,
“The Hulkeroic Union…?”
Understanding that Gerald and the others wouldn’t know about the Hulkeroic Union since they were new to the
Leicom Continent, Ray then explained, “They’re a powerful force within Dragonblood City…”
“…I see. Call it a gut feeling, but I feel like they aren’t very nice people!” replied Gerald in a decisive tone.
Rei simply shrugged without saying another word, his silence a clear sign that what Gerald had stated was right.
True enough, the Hulkeroic Union was infamous for doing all kinds of outrageous and lawbreaking activities within
Dragonblood City. The fact that the force was so strong only served to make its members more violent during their

rampant acts of savagery.
With that in mind, locals of the city knew that it was best to just stay away from them. After all, offending them
would only bring unnecessary trouble to themselves…
Either way, the group then continued strolling around Dragonblood City. The city, for one, was vastly different
compared to the area around Leicom Academy…
As they were walking on, the group suddenly heard a woman screaming!
After exchanging glances with each other, all five of them then hurried over to the source of the sound…
By the time they got there, they witnessed four men dragging a young woman into an alleyway! Some of them had
even begun tearing her clothes off! To think that such heinous activities would occur, even in broad daylight!
During times like these, someone needed to play the role of a white knight. Thankfully enough, Gerald was best at
doing that.
With that, the group immediately charged into the alleyway together…
