Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1543

In the past few days, Master Ghost had been busy using his Nine Dragons Calculation Technique—together with the

Soul Arch Compass—in order to obtain the most accurate information possible.

Throughout his time using the compass, Master Ghost truthfully felt like he was the main character in some martial

arts . After all, he was able to gain access to information about strange incidents—that had been recorded in

detail within the Soul Arch Compass—that had taken place over the years.

For example, Master Ghost was able to find out that the Dragon Squad had existed for well over ten thousand

years, though it naturally didn’t bear the name it currently did back them. Even so, the important thing was that it

still derived from the same bloodline. He found out that the Dragon Squad back then mostly did underground

dealings as well.

Either way, with that in mind, he was able to accurately confirm the readings he made—through the Nine Dragons

Calculation Technique—by fact-checking the detail’s historical accuracy with the recorded information within the

compass.

After that long week, not only was Master Ghost able to learn of Yearning Island’s location, but he also managed to

gain information about the master of that island, the person who started the whole issue regarding the Crawford

family’s origins.

Upon hearing that, Gerald then said, “…You know, I heard Lady Gunter mention back then that the Crawfords were

once a very powerful family when it came to training… However, due to a certain incident, the family ended up

getting ruined in a single night! However, grandpa…”

Momentarily hesitant to continue, Gerald shook his head before adding, “…From what Lady Gunter said, grandpa

was the only one who managed to make it out alive back then… Following that, he attempted to have his revenge

on the Gunters by stealing a magic artifact from them. Unfortunately, his plan ultimately failed. In order to avoid

getting hunted down, he then began living in seclusion on Yearning island. He apparently had a major secret with

him by then too. Regardless, it was then when he established the other Crawford family. Sometime later, he would

then proceed to create the Crawfords I lived with! Is that the whole story…?”

In response, Master Ghost simply shook his head before saying, “Let’s just say that what you just told me is a

simplified version of the whole story. There’s a lot of other important information that you’ve skimmed past! From

what I’ve learned from the Soul Arch Compass, your grandfather… He seems far from ordinary, to say the least…

After all, he seems to have a great connection with an old legend that’s been present on Yearning Island for the

longest time!”

“A… legend?” asked Gerald, feeling slightly stunned.

“Indeed. You see, Yearning island is located in a mysterious area within Yanam’s ocean. From what I’ve gathered, a

legend emerged there around ten thousand years ago… and it was the legend of a Devil Incarnate!” replied Master

Ghost as he alternated his gaze between the now curious Gerald and Yeshua.

Following that, he then continued, “While lots of fishermen supposedly fished around that area before that, strange

incidents began taking place around ten thousand years ago. Apparently, large groups of fishermen simply started

mysteriously going missing! At the time, some speculated that the missing fishermen had simply lost their ways

while out at sea. However, they were men of the sea. There was no way that that was the case!”

“With that in mind, more theories began popping up among the remaining fishermen. Some said that their

disappearances were the work of sea monsters. Others hypothesized that the fishermen could have encountered

typhoons that ended up directing them to foreign islands. Whatever the case was, many of the fishermen began

constantly praying for the missing fishermen’s safe return…”

“Not long after, a group of fishermen who were out at sea met with a typhoon! Eventually, they ended up being led

to a desert island… The shocking thing was, not only did the fishermen find several dried corpses there, but they

also managed to identify them to be the bodies of the previously missing fishermen! Understanding that their

friends had to have been sucked dry by something to end up that way—after going missing for just a few days—the

fishermen were rightfully terrified!”

“Thankfully, the typhoon didn’t take too long to die down, and the uneasy fishermen quickly brought the corpses

back with them to their fishing village. Alas, upon their return, the fishermen realized that all the others in their

village had been sucked dry as well! None of the corpses they came across even had a drop of blood left in them!

Deeply grieved, the fishermen refused to believe that there were truly no survivors. After searching for a long time,

they did manage to find a single person who was still alive. Unfortunately, the person was a known fool within that

village…”

“Upon asking him what exactly took place, the fool—who was also known to be a rather good artist—began drawing

out what he had witnessed… Fully aware of his preference for communicating through pictures, the fishermen

simply waited until he was done. Once the fool was done, however, the fishermen found themselves shocked by

what they saw.”

“Apparently, the one who had sucked all the villagers dry was a peculiar-looking person with three eyes! What

more, the person had feet that were as long as half an adult male! With hair that hung down till its waist, the

abnormally long-tongued monster was apparently also capable of human speech!”

“Following that, the fool explained that when he had first seen the monster, a villager had asked it what it was doing

here. In response, the monster simply questioned, ‘Is this Yearning Village?’”

“The second a child told the monster that it was, the monster instantly began killing everyone in the village

extremely cruelly!”

After explaining all that, Master Ghost summarized what had taken place after. Essentially, the fishermen who had

escaped death were extremely angry, so angry in fact, that they instantly began looking for people who possessed

supernatural powers in order to deal with that Devil Incarnate. Revenge was the only thing on their minds…

Nobody could have guessed that the Devil Incarnate wasn’t a mere mindless killing machine. As the fishermen

would eventually come to learn, it possessed immense supernatural powers as well!
