Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 866
Obeying his orders, a few subordinates then descended the stairs.

However, even after they went down, no noise followed. Everything was quiet. Too quiet.

It was at that moment when Shane realized that something was terribly wrong.

“You there, you stay guard here. The rest of you follow me downstairs!” ordered Shane as a lone subordinate stood at attention in the room while the rest of them descended the stairs together with Shane.

The moment Shane arrived at the last step, however, he stopped. The room was pitch black and not a sound could be heard.

Before he could even proceed any further, he felt a sharp pain against the back of his head! He could only assume that someone had smashed his head with a bat before he eventually passed out.

It was late that night when Gerald and a very exhausted Bea finally made it back to Bea’s room. As she fell asleep almost instantaneously, Gerald covered her with a blanket before leaving the room.

Standing right outside her room was a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits.

“Humph! The Longs will surely find it difficult to sleep peacefully tonight, Mr. Crawford! After all, they’ve just lost one of their most capable people! As to be expected, they’re searching all over for Shane as we speak!” said Philip with a smile.

“Indeed! Why don’t we let them look for him for seven days as well! Imagine their reactions after a week without their precious grandson!” added another subordinate.

“I really don’t have the time to mess with the Longs for a week. Speaking of the Longs, they’re celebrating some kind of occasion tomorrow, right? Perfect. Since Shane gave us such a large gift by threatening Bea for seven days straight, we’ll head to that occasion tomorrow with a gift of our own!” said Gerald with a cold gaze in his eyes.

“Get him ready!”

“Roger, Mr. Crawford!”

It was the next day in the Long family’s manor when Master Long asked, “How’s the situation? Did any of you manage to find Shane?”

Master Long himself was wearing a formal suit. After all, they were celebrating a special occasion today. Several of their family members were coming over alongside many more distinguished guests. While the atmosphere was somewhat festive, all those from the Long family were honestly filled with worry and anxiety.

At their current strength, the Longs were still much too weak to go against the Crawford siblings. If the Longs truly wanted to take the siblings down, then their best bet to achieve that would be by cooperating with powerful people from all walks of life.

“Can’t we refuse to participate, Giya…?”

Outside the Long family’s manor, a few women were nervously suggesting against joining the Long family’s special occasion.

“What’s there to be afraid of? While I’m equally unwilling to be here, I have to come on my father’s behalf since the Longs invited my entire family over. Besides, I’m the one who bears grudges against them yet I’m hardly scared at all! Why are you the ones scared?” said Giya as she looked at Marilyn and her other friends.

“Well, the Longs are the most powerful family in Yanken… Of course I’d be nervous coming to a place like this… Besides, look around us! Everyone in there is probably a big shot!” replied Marilyn in a quivering voice.

“Well I’m here, aren’t I? I’ve always kept you company in the past, so you’ll have to keep me company this time around!” said Giya in a playful tone.

“Fine… We’ll enter with you!” replied Marilyn as she stuck her tongue out.

“…Huh? Hey Marilyn, Giya! Look over there! There’s a team of luxurious cars coming this way!” squealed one of Giya’s friends in surprise as she pointed toward the cars that were driving toward the manor’s gates.
