Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2177

“As you’ve said, the Yamashitas don’t contact other families a lot, but putting that aside… You have the Herculean

Primordial Spirit within you, correct?” asked the old man after staring at Gerald for a while.

Upon hearing that, Gerald could only chuckle awkwardly. Though the old man had seen through him, he didn’t

really want to admit it. After all, Gerald was well aware that talented and capable people were targeted a lot. In

fact, it was exactly because of his power that resulted in his trouble with the military department as well as the

three large families of Yanam!

“So it is true… Well, I’m just glad that you know how to conceal your treasure well,” added the old man with a grin.

Nodding slowly, Gerald then looked at the old man for a while before finally asking, “Who… exactly are you, old

man…? I’m sure you’re not just the elder of the Yamashita family, right…?”

Gerald had a multitude of questions in his head. First off, how was a Westoner the elder of the Yamashita family?

How had he gotten involved in this family rumored to have ninjas? And how did he even know about the Herculean

Primordial Spirit? Not many cultivators from Weston even knew about it!

Upon hearing Gerald’s question, the old man’s tone suddenly became serious as he replied, “… Do you really wish

to know?”

Watching as Gerald nodded in response, the old man then sighed as his cloudy eyes momentarily hinted that he

was reminiscing… And shortly after, the old man said, “Well… For one, I knew your grandfather pretty well back

then… We used to travel together in Weston many years ago, you know? Unfortunately, we ended up parting ways

due to our differing opinions… Truth be told, when I first saw you, I almost thought you were him. You’re his spitting

image, from your physique,

Appearance, right down to your personality!”

“… What? You know Daryl?” replied Gerald as he instantly frowned. With how tightly he was holding onto the now

quivering teacup, the old man felt that if Gerald gripped any harder, the cup would surely shatter.

…

“I did… Well, the old him, at least Also, he’s your grandfather, no? Why are you calling him by his name?” asked the

old man as he raised a slight brow.

“I’d very much prefer not to have a grandfather like him,” replied Gerald with a snort.

While it was true that the grandfather he remembered as a child was a kind old man before he disappeared from

his life, the revelation that Daryl was his parents’ and sister’s abductor was simply too much for Gerald to willingly

overlook.

Regardless, upon hearing that, the shocked old man was prompted to ask, “Is… there some sort of

misunderstanding between the two of you…?”

“I’d rather not talk about him, old man… Either way, I’m just wondering if you helped us back then due to the fact

that I’m Daryl’s grandson?” replied Gerald as he raised his hand to stop the old man from asking any further.

“… No, of course not. I merely felt like talking about him since you’re his descendant. Regardless, the main reason I

helped you is because you’re currently hosting the Herculean Primordial Spirit,” explained the old man as he shook

his head with a smile.

Suddenly feeling much more vigilant, Gerald then asked, “…Could you elaborate?”

If this old man truly was after his Herculean Primordial Spirit, then he would have to figure out how to quickly leave

this place with Fujiko. Naturally, that meant that he would have to offend yet another powerful family…

Looking at how vigilant Gerald had suddenly become, the old man couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “It’s a long

story. If you’re interested in hearing the full thing, do stay for a few more days. In return, I just want you to update

me on Daryl’s situation. After all, it’s been ages since I’ve last met him.”

“… Deal!” replied Gerald.
