Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2168
“Is… there anything else you’d like to know? I’ll answer honestly!” replied Amare who was now feeling that Gerald
wasn’t the person he had previously assumed to be.
The truth was, he had initially thought that Gerald was an evil and ruthless person who would do anything to breach
into the Crawford family and exploit them once he became the patriarch. After their brief interaction, however, he
now felt that Gerald was actually a rather gentle soul, contrary to his initial belief.
While it was true that he still killed the assassin from before, Gerald had every right to do so since he was ambush-
attacked by him… Regardless, Gerald had also made it a point that he was going to spare his life just because they
shared the same surname. It was honestly making Amare feel slightly touched…
Amare’s train of thought was cut short when Gerald calmly replied, “That’s all I needed to know.”

equally calm tone despite knowing full well what would happen once his cultivation was taken away from him.
Essentially, he’d turn into an ordinary person, and Amare was pretty sure that those he had previously offended
would take the chance to treat him harshly…
Even so, having to experience that was worth it as long as he could remain alive. After all, all wasn’t lost. He simply
had to start from scratch again. If he died now, however, everything would truly end.
Hearing that, Gerald simply poked twice on the chakras on Amare’s chest before replying in an indifferent tone,
“Just leave.”
“… Huh?” asked Amare as he slowly regained control over his body. Hopping to his feet, Amare couldn’t help but
feel exceedingly confused at the moment. After all, Gerald scraping his cultivation in exchange for his life was
already extremely merciful of the youth. So why was he letting him leave just like that? Had Gerald forgotten that
he had attempted to assassinate him earlier?
“Unless you’re secretly a masochist, I suggest you leave while you can,” said Gerald with a chuckle.
“… I… Of course, I’m not…” muttered Amare who couldn’t feel any murderous intent from Gerald as he slowly
walked toward the youth.
Taking in a deep breath, Amare then asked, “… I just don’t get it. That man and I were tasked to assassinate you,
you know? With that said, since you killed him, why aren’t you ending my life as well?”
Puffing on his cigarette, Gerald eventually replied, “… It’s simple, really. It’s because you’re a Crawford and he isn’t.
While I didn’t grow up with the rest of the cultivating Crawfords, I’m still Daryl’s grandson. As a child, I made quite a
few fond memories with him, you know? While I still have no idea why he abducted my family which is the reason
why I’m trying so hard to meet him on Yearning Island, you see that doesn’t change the fact that you’re still a
Crawford. Just so you know, given the choice, I’d very much prefer saving people rather than killing them…”
“… I…” muttered Amare as his voice slowly trailed off.

After all, he had never stopped to wonder why Gerald was trying so hard to get to Yearning Island. Now, he was
finally aware that the patriarch had captured his family… Still, since the patriarch was Gerald’s grandfather, that
essentially meant that he had abducted his own son and daughter-in-law!
Whatever the case was, Gerald then handed Amare a cigarette before asking, “Have you seen them?”
“… Only once, but even that was quite a while ago…” replied Amare as he took the cigarette and lit it with Gerald’s
lighter.
Hearing that, Gerald momentarily trembled as his eyes grew slightly watery. Shaking his head, Gerald then asked,
“… How were they doing back then?”
After thinking for a moment, Amare eventually replied, “… Well, they were being treated rather well, honestly. The
patriarch emphasized that none of them could be mistreated, so though they’re being kept in the backyard, they
should still be well fed and clothed… At the very least, they still were back then… Regardless, apart from the
patriarch and his cronies, nobody else is allowed to enter…”
“… I see. Is Will allowed to enter?” asked Gerald as his expression turned gloomy…
