Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1497
‘I’ve been living my life unhindered all this while…! With that said, there’s no way I’d lose against thisimmature and inexperienced young man! It’s simply impossible!’ Carlos thought to himself, anextremely hideous expression on his face as he stretched his palm out!novelbin
As five long and black fingernails extended from his palm, Carlos roared, “To hell with you!”
“You bore me,” replied Gerald as he looked at the incoming attack before shaking his head, a wry smileon his face.
Before Carlos could even inflict any damage, he stared wide-eyed as Gerald gently flicked a finger inhis direction… sending a beam of light flying toward him!
Unable to evade in time, the golden light rammed right into his darkness, completely counteringCarlos’s attack as an explosive sound was heard!
The next thing the old man knew, he was flying backward like a crumpled kite. A huge chunk of hisclothes—around his chest area—had been shredded to pieces and blood was already gushing out hismouth like no tomorrow.
Enduring the immense pain he was now suffering all over his body, Carlos looked at Gerald incomplete disbelief as he shouted, “H-how… How is any of this even possible…?!”
As far as Carlos could tell, Gerald hadn’t even been serious with his counterattack. After all, the oldman had momentarily sensed him releasing an immense aura that was so powerful that it could verywell be world-ending!
That was what stunned Carlos the most, and he found himself asking, “…That… What kind of martialarts skill even was that…?”
Hearing that, Gerald simply smiled subtly before saying, “You know, I’ve sworn to myself that if anyoneattempted to kill or even threatened me a bit too much, I’d end them without a second thought… And inan extremely terrible manner too!”
Upon hearing that—and realizing that Gerald had completely disregarded his question—Carlosimmediately kowtowed respectfully while bursting into tears before pleading, “P-please, master! Pleasespare my life…!”
When people reached a state like Carlos’s, they would be considered to be extremely rare individuals.The cream of the crop, in fact. With that in mind, his life had definitely been way different compared towhat regular people could ever dream of attaining.
However, similar to the others who had gotten to a similar stage as he currently was, when standingbefore death’s door, he was going to do anything he could to live another day. After all, he had gonethrough such painstaking and difficult efforts just to get to where he was today. He couldn’t just diehere. He absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen…!
As regret washed through him, Carlos found himself thinking, ‘Why had I offended such a powerfulindividual…?!’
Chuckling with a smile, Gerald then looked at the old man before saying, “While I’m definitely not themost compassionate person around, I’m not overwhelmingly cruel either. Fine, then! I’ll give you achance to survive… You now have one minute to persuade me as to why I shouldn’t just kill you off. Beas concise as possible!”
“…T-that…” stuttered Carlos as he instantly averted his gaze. He was now so anxious that his mindwas completely blank!
“Time’s ticking!” replied Gerald a few seconds later.
“I… I… I’m escaping!” shouted Carlos as he momentarily looked up before waving his large sleeves,sending a wave of dust flying toward Gerald!
Once the dust got inches away from Gerald, however, they seemingly disappeared into thin air! Evenso, that was enough time for Carlos to take advantage of the situation and dive into the ground!
While Carlos could no longer be seen, Gerald simply shook his head before saying, “It’s unfortunate,but you now have zero chances to redeem yourself. I’m saying it right now that you’ll be unable toescape my holy sense, even if you’re a few hundred miles away!”
With that said, Gerald shifted his divine thought slightly and instantly managed to pinpoint Carlos’sexact location.
Pinching his fingers together as though he was holding onto a sword, Gerald was just about to finish offCarlos when he suddenly heard movement coming from the far end of the forest.
Following that, a male voice could be heard shouting, “H-help! Help…!”
As it turned out, the screams for help had come from a running youth who was carrying anunconscious, injured woman. With how bloodied the duo were, it was evident that both of them wereequally as injured…
Regardless, the pleas for help were Carlos’s saving grace since Gerald now had his attention on thequickly approaching duo who were slowly getting closer to him.
Knowing full well that Carlos could easily die if Gerald really wanted him dead, he simply allowed theold man to run off first. He wasn’t really a big deal anyway.
Following that thought, Gerald heard a soft ‘thud’…
