Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2178

Gerald was only agreeing since this old man seemed to know Daryl well. With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t deny

that he was curious about his grandfather’s past. After all, though he had met him as a child, his memories of Daryl

were vague, to say the least. Perhaps with this old man’s help, he would be able to learn why his present

grandfather underwent such a drastic change…

“Excellent. Then do have some more tea as we continue chatting. I’ll get a room prepared for you two by tonight.

Speaking of which, isn’t it high time you told her to come back inside? After all, there really isn’t anything to hide.

Besides, you two are a couple, no?” replied the old man with a smile.

“You knew…?” said Gerald as he scratched the back of his head.

“While we don’t directly contact those from the outside world, it doesn’t mean that we’re left oblivious about what

happens out there,” replied the old man with a nod.

Not knowing how to respond to that, Gerald then invited Fujiko in again, making sure to shut the door tight once she

was inside. After all, he didn’t want any strangers hearing anything about Daryl’s past.

Once Gerald and Fujiko were seated at the table, the old man who was holding onto a cup of hot tea slowly began

rocking back and forth as he said, “Let’s see… It was about fifty years ago when the incident between me and your

grandfather occurred… “

As it turned out, Daryl and this old man were once disciples of Brecken Longman, a famous cultivator in Weston, at

least at the time. Learning under Brecken atop a hill, the two were senior and junior for at least a decade before

they both graduated. After graduation, Daryl returned to his family, determined to make it prosper. As for the old

man, he chose to follow Daryl, wanting to help his senior.

It was when the Crawford family started rising the ranks in the cultivation world when Daryl and the old man started

having differing views. For one, Daryl wanted to bring the Crawfords into the secular world. His plan was to use the

family’s power in exchange for riches. However, the old man was against this. After all, Weston cultivators hardly

ever got involved with the secular world, yet Daryl was proposing to start a business!

Due to their differing views, in the end, the two ended up parting ways. After leaving the Crawford family, the old

man traveled the world until eventually, he ended up getting chosen to become the elder of the Yamashita family

after helping the family out when they needed it most.

After hearing the old man’s side of the story, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly emotional.

As for the old man, he then sighed before adding, “So… Yes, that’s pretty much the summarized version of what

happened… Thinking back, your grandfather’s decision was honestly the right one. After all, he genuinely was

considering the future of the family…”

While it was true that the old man had considered moving back to Weston before this, he had simply grown too

used to staying here by that point.

Whatever the case was, Gerald who hadn’t heard about all this from his father before simply nodded in response…

Now that he was done sharing his part of the story, the old man looked expectantly at Gerald before asking, “So…

Now that I’m done, how are things with your grandfather? Is he still living with you?”

“Not really,” replied Gerald as he shook his head.

Momentarily stunned to hear that, the old man’s hands started shaking to the point where tea was starting to spill

before he eventually asked, “Has… he passed away…?”

“He’s alive and well, though he’s no longer in the Crawford family… Or should I say, he’s no longer in the old

Crawford family,” replied Gerald with a bitter smile. To be completely honest, he secretly still hoped that Daryl was

the same grandfather he used to know as a child…
