Since they were going to collaborate, Gerald was definitely going after the biggest project. After all, what was the point if he didn’t? Hearing that, Zachariah then replied, “You’re in luck, Chairman Crawford. I currently have a very good project regarding the development and construction around Schywater City’s sea area.” Finding what Zachariah said interesting, Gerald then asked, “Could you perhaps be talking about the development of the commercial area around the city’s sea area?” Nodding in response, Zachariah smiled before replying, “That’s the one. I see you’ve heard about the project, Chairman Crawford!” “I won’t deny that I’ve been keeping an eye on that place. Hmm… Why don’t we do it this way, Chairman Kershaw? For that particular area, I’m planning to have my group participate by occupying a great share and carrying out the construction with your group. With that said, I think it’s only fair that all the conditions and designs related to the construction should be ha

Shortly after, Natallie then walked out of the office, leaving Gerald all alone in there… Looking up, Gerald couldn’t help but smile faintly, thinking about how much faster his properties were going to develop now. Before long, everything was going to belong to him... Once that happened, he would establish a new business empire for the Crawford Family, and that was his current major goal… Ever since his family fell into decline, everything that his family used to own ceased to exist. Due to that, Gerald wanted to reclaim everything that had once belonged to his family… Fast forward to nighttime, Gerald could be seen entering his study in his villa… Taking a dust-covered box off a high shelf, Gerald couldn’t help but stare at it for a while. He had brought the box back from his family’s old home, and it had remained unopened till this very day. As for why he brought it here, he simply wanted to keep it safe. After all, nobody else knew that the box was here since Gerald had be

As he thought about that, Gerald eventually shook his head before continuing to read, wondering if there were any records of how to enter the Autremonde Realm… Thankfully, the exact method of getting to that place was written just a few lines below. As it turned out, the only way to get there was by locating a well-hidden stone monument at the peak of Mount Kenloux. Even after finding it, only after chanting a specific spell could one get the portal to the Autremonde Realm to open… The spell itself was a rare one, and only five people have ever been known to have learned it… Naturally, Gerald’s ‘grandfather’ had been one of them. Reading on, Gerald found out that three of them—excluding his ‘grandfather’—had already died some seventy years ago, which meant that only one remained alive till this very day… That person apparently went by the name of Christos Hamilton, but as Gerald would come to learn, he had already left Dragonott and moved to Rico for quite a while now… Even

Truth be told, Gerald couldn’t believe that the person before him was the actual Christos Hamilton… After all, according to the notebook, Christos was once one of the top figures in the cultivation world. In fact, he was probably even stronger than his ‘grandfather’! How did such a powerful figure end up in such a state…? Whatever the case was, Gerald cleared his throat before warily asking, “…I… take it that you’re Senior Christos…?” Hearing that, Christos then slowly raised his head to look at Gerald… Gerald himself wasn’t able to get a clear look at the old man’s facial features since his messy hair covered over half of his face… “…A descendant of the Crawfords you say… Tell me, who is Daryl Bodach to you?” asked Christos in a calm tone. “Daryl… Bodach?” muttered the momentarily confused Gerald, though he quickly realized that Christos was probably talking about his ‘grandfather’. To think that his ‘grandfather’ had chosen such a name for himself… “He’s my grandfathe

Staring at Gerald for a good minute, Christos eventually sighed before taking the beer can that Gerald had handed out to him. After a few sips, Christos was prompted to say, “…You’re very different from Daryl, you know that? You don’t look or feel like his grandson at all! Regardless, despite the fact that he’s been a calculative person his entire life, it seems that even that couldn’t help him escape death!” Sensing how greatly biased Christos was toward his ‘grandfather’, Gerald decided to change the topic by asking, “Senior Christos, could… you tell me what you know about the Autremonde Realm…? What kind of place is it…?” Seemingly already expecting that question to come up again, Christos simply sighed as he replied, “Kid, be frank and tell me why you’re so curious about the Autremonde Realm… You can’t seriously be thinking of heading there, can you…?” “That I am, senior Christos! After all, I want to obtain the Crawford Inheritance Power!” declared Gerald, no longer beatin
