Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2021
What Gerald didn’t know, however, was the fact that news about the island had already reached Yearning Island…
Sitting beside a moth-eaten wooden table—that looked like it was going to collapse at any second—inside a
relatively simple-thatched hut, was none other than a cloaked Daryl…
As he poured some tea out of his ancient teapot, a fierce-looking young man walked up to Daryl before whispering,
“According to our men in Gong Island, Terenzio and a few strangers have gone to one of the nearby islands, and
they’ve been staying there for a few days now. We suspect that Gerald could be there as well.”
“Let’s just wait for them to come. I’d like to see how strong his cultivation has gotten after so many years. Also,
what’s Trenzio’s cultivation level?” asked Daryl, his hand quivering slightly as he held onto the teapot.
“Not too strong. From what we’ve gathered, he’s simply in the middle level among our family members,” replied
the man after thinking for a while.

kill the three great clans of Yanam, you can imagine how strong he already is by this point,” said Daryl as he sipped
on his tea. Hearing that, the impatient man was prompted to say, “…But chief, if you really want to get rid of them,
we can just send our men to surround Gong Island right this instant! I guarantee you that he’ll be killed before dark!
All our troubles will be gone then!”
With barely any changes in his expression, Daryl then lowered his teacup before asking in a hoarse voice, “Tell me,
Will… How many years have you been following me again…?”
“Twenty-five. I still remember how you saved me from freezing to death back then…” replied the man as he bowed
respectfully.
“I’m glad you’re aware. While Gerald may be my grandson, in my eyes, you’re my true successor. With that in
mind, know that once Gerald comes to Yearning Island, death will surely come for him…” said Daryl before
chuckling.
“I understand, chief!” replied the man who was now able to breathe much easier.
“Now then… We’ll see if Terenzio is strong enough to get rid of Gerald first. If he fails, we’ll just send more of our
skillful men over to deal with him. Since he’s come looking for trouble so daringly, let’s make sure we’re prepared
for anything he has up his sleeve…” said Daryl as he continued sipping his tea. From the looks of it, Gerald’s
appearance barely even garnered a response from him…
Delighted to hear that, the man then exclaimed, “Then… Chief, I-“
“Don’t even dare think about showing yourself before Gerald. If you even try to, I’ll immediately remove your
cultivation powers,” replied Daryl as he turned to face the man.
“I-l understand!” declared the now shivering man as he nodded in agreement. “Good. Now leave!” replied Daryl
with a wave of his hand…
Back on Gong Island, Gerald was still thinking of how to locate Yearning Island. If even Tarek didn’t know where the
island was, Gerald was pretty sure that all the other family members on the island wouldn’t know either. It certainly

With how things were going, Gerald was pretty sure that all he could really do was to wait till next week when the
main family’s ship arrived… That would surely allow him to find Yearning Island…
In other news, the people on the island didn’t seem to care about Terenzio’s sudden disappearance, probably
thinking that he had just returned to the main family. After all, despite sharing a surname, the main and side
families were completely different…
Regardless, in the following days, Gerald mostly remained inside his room. To kill time, he studied the sea map,
continuously analyzing the islands at the center of the map in hopes of figuring out which one was Yearning Island…
While Gerald was calm, the same couldn’t be said for those on Yearning Island.
After all, in the past three days—under Daryl’s orders—, Will Crawford had been unable to contact Terenzio at all…
Something was definitely off…
Upon establishing the Crawford family, Daryl had made a rule stating that members of the main Crawford family
couldn’t leave Yearning Island all willy-nilly. With that in mind, since Terenzio had gone to Gong Island and hadn’t
reported back in a few days, he had clearly violated the taboo…
