The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1272

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1272 Due to Gerald having such a powerful weapon on him, the nine people had momentarily fled for fearthat Gerald would end up killing them instead.

It was only after they made their escape that they recalled that Gerald wasn’t able to properly controlthe jade pendant’s power yet. As all nine of them slowly recovered their strength, they each thoughtabout stealing the pendant off Gerald before taking him away.

With their mind made up, all of them began making their way toward Mountain Top the moment theirstrength fully recovered. However, both parties truly hadn’t expected to bump into each other on theirway there.

Being enemies, they naturally fought and bickered the entire way there.

“How unlucky we are to meet you again! Regardless, we’ll certainly be the ones who’ll end up gettingour hands on both Gerald and that jade pendant!”

After continuing to bicker for quite a while, all nine of them swiftly made it past the restricted area onMountain Top.

Several of the bodyguards noticed their speedy entry and instantly grew frightened. With that, theyimmediately informed their superiors about what they had just witnessed.

By the time the guards were done passing the message on, the group of people had already arrived atthe top of the mountain in no time flat.

“So you’ve finally appeared!” shouted Chester as they approached the cave’s entrance.

Chester had been sitting cross-legged and on guard atop the mountain for days, and when he saw thenine people, a strong sense of resentment was reflected in his eyes. Of course, his hatred amplified the

second he saw Tiara.

“You traitor! Still, I really hadn’t expected Gerald to have the ability to restore both your sanity andconsciousness!” scoffed Tiara, murderous intent in her eyes.

Clenching his fist, Chester then retorted, “The fact that he’s done so means that Mr. Crawford hasgranted me the opportunity to take my revenge!”

Though the old woman standing before him was his own grandmother, Tiara had never once regardedChester as her grandson at all. In fact, he was pretty sure that she had only ever seen him as nothingmore than a dog.

She didn’t even hesitate to kill him and turn him into a monster that was barely even human! To Tiara,once a dog, always a dog, and that made Chester hate her even more.

“Hah! Take revenge? I guess you now have the same mindset as Gerald after following him around somuch! To think that you’re actually daring enough to even consider taking revenge on me, Chester! Isee how it is! And here I thought that you’d finally be useful for once after I turned you into a killingmachine with witchcraft! Yet here you are, planning to betray me! Since that’s the case, I’ll just kill youagain and make sure all your limbs are ripped from your body!” scowled Tiara with a murderous look inher eyes.

“No matter how one-sided it is, I’m still going to fight you! I won’t allow any of you to take a single stepinside, even if I have to die trying!” declared Chester fearlessly as he got to his feet.

“Hahaha! Say, you old witch! Do you need our help clearing the path for you? If you do, then we’ll handGerald over to you as a bonus! However, we’ll be taking the jade pendant with us! How’s that sound?Regardless, he seems to be right inside the cave before us!” said one of the men with a grin.

“Dream on! I’m getting my hands on Gerald, the pendant, and also this traitor today!” retorted Tiara, amalicious smile formed on her face.

The second her sentence ended, her expression instantly turned terrifying as she dashed towardChester! Her movements were so swift that Chester was only able to go on the defensive.

It certainly didn’t help that Gerald’s pendant had suppressed quite a bit of his strength. Due to that,Chester’s combative abilities were much worse compared to before.

Finding gaps in his defense, Tiara managed to land several hits on Chester’s chest, causing the youthto fly backward! His body ended up colliding with a boulder—which then shattered from the impact—and the second that happened, Chester immediately began vomiting blood!novelbin

Despite Tiara using all of her strength in that deadly attack, the bloody-faced Chester still managed toget to his feet, albeit a bit shakily.

“…You… You can only enter over my dead body…!” shouted Chester whose resolute white eyescontrasted his now-reddened face.

“Heh! He’s still standing after you used such a deadly attack on him, old witch! You sure you don’t needour help?” mocked one of the eight men. The men themselves had been standing at the side, theirarms crossed as they watched the show.

“Silence! I only need one final attack! He’ll surely die once I break off all the meridians in his body!”shouted Tiara as she prepared to land her finishing blow.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Chester was sure that this was his end when suddenly, he heard a voiceshouting, “Fight back!”

The voice itself seemed like it came from right beside his ears… No. It felt like… it came from withinhimself.
