Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1377
“Indeed! Once I possess Gerald’s body, I’ll surely be able to make a great comeback! Following that,our family will be able to head to Jaellatra together, a perfect world for the Gunters to reign supreme asoverlords! By then, our family would be in total control of both heaven and earth!” added the old man ashe chuckled longingly.
“…Regardless… Did you lead both of us down here just because you wanted to tell us all this…?”asked Yume.
“That’s a good question! See, while Gerald’s body would naturally be the best option for me, Yreth andthe others have simply been too stupid. After waiting anxiously here for so long, I’m unwilling to waitany longer! Adding that to the fact that I’m slightly worried that Yreth will end up harming the body Iwish to possess, I’m planning on making my comeback in advance! In order to do so, however, I’ll firstneed a suitable body for me to adapt to, and both of your bodies appear to possess sufficient auras…”replied the old man.novelbin
Turning to look at Gerald, he then added, “…Especially my grandson here! Quite frankly, I don’t thinkthere’ll be anyone even close to being as suitable as him!”
“…You… what? But he’s your descendant! You aren’t even willing to let him go…?” asked Yume insurprise.
Quite honestly, even if the old man really were to harm Felton, Yume wasn’t about to feel upset ordistressed for Felton’s sake. After all, Felton was a demon-like, cruel, and vicious person. In otherwords, him dying was actually going to be a good thing.
Even so, it still felt extremely awkward to Yume since she now knew that the person who was planningto harm Felton was her family’s ancestor whom everyone respected and admired! Knowing that simply
served to amplify her discomfort!
“Well, I don’t really have a choice either. Regardless, our family is already doing well at the moment, soyour sacrifice—to secure an even better future for the Gunters—will definitely be worth it!” scoffed theold man as he smiled wryly.
Astonishment was reflected in Gerald’s eyes as he finally realized where the dangerous aura—that hehad sensed upon entering this area—came from. To think that this old man would be so cruel andheartless!
Even wild beasts always looked after their cubs… But this old man… He wasn’t even willing to let hisown descendant off!
As Gerald took a step back, the old men then laughed before sneering, “Now, now, there’s no need tobe afraid! I’ll be sure to lessen the pain as much as possible!”
Watching as the old man’s soul dived straight for Gerald, Gerald instantly exhausted all of the Thunderessential qi in his body to resist the attack!
Upon collision, an explosive sound was heard! Though Gerald had the Thunder Essential qi aura up todefend himself, the more the old man’s soul continued pushing forward, the more Gerald could feel hisown soul trembling…!
His soul wasn’t the only thing trembling either, and as Gerald’s body began quivering uncontrollably, hefound himself tasting a familiar sweetness in his mouth as blood began overflowing from it!
“I advise you not to continue engaging in such futile resistance! After all, it’ll only make things muchmore painful for you!” snorted the old man with a grin.
It was a few seconds later when the smile on the old man’s face slowly faded… Only to be turned intoan expression of utter disbelief!
“…I’ve already practiced the technique—that allows me to freely move the thought of my soul—for solong that I’m quite literally an expert at it… By right, I shouldn’t make any mistakes at all while using thetechnique… However, why is it that a surging power repels me whenever I attempt to touch yoursoul…?!” said the old man in horror as he quickly backed quite a distance away from Gerald, hisexpression a mix of awkwardness and embarrassment!
With the strength that the old man currently possessed, it was near-impossible for him not to be able toabsorb anyone’s soul, regardless of how powerful or talented that person was. Thinking about it, it wasalso impossible for a Gunter descendant to possess such powerful soul strength! Forget invading thisyoung man’s soul, Gerald’s soul had the capability of destroying the old man’s own thought of the soul!But how could that be possible…?
“…You… You aren’t a descendant of my family, are you…? Who the hell are you?” muttered theintelligent old man who could now tell that something was amiss.
The strength this young man possessed was simply too incredible… Knowing that fact that it couldeasily destroy his thought of soul, the old man knew that he was very fortunate to have been able topull away in time.
“His name is Felton Gunter, great-grandpa! There’s simply no way that he isn’t a Gunter descendant!”explained Yume.
“I’m well aware of who Felton is… Yreth had constantly been training him to become the nextgeneration’s successor of the Gunter family, so I know the strength range of Felton’s power very well…With that said, the person who came with you earlier is definitely not Felton…! After all, the power ofthis person’s soul is so strong that even I feel terrified by it!” replied the terror-stricken old man.
