The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1391

It was a little while later when Gerald—who had been riding in the car that Wesson had sent over—suddenly felt the car stop. Watching as the driver lit a cigarette and glanced at his rear-view mirror—displaying a cold grin to Gerald in the process—Gerald then asked, “We’re halfway there at best, aren’t we? Why did you stop the car?”

“Oh, I’m well aware. I’m just a bit tired so I need to rest for a bit!” replied the driver, contempt written all over his face.

“Tired? Please, you haven’t been driving for that long. Look, you can do whatever you please once I’ve reached my destination, but until then, you’d best drive properly!” said Gerald as he shook his head.

Quite honestly, Gerald was unwilling to just kill people if he didn’t need to. After all, all lives were valuable. If that hadn’t been his view on life, then he would’ve spent less time speaking nonsense with such people and just killed them the chance he could.

“Hah! Do you really think you’re some kind of big shot?” sneered the driver as he turned to look at the rear-view mirror again.

This time, however, six ghastly figures could be seen slowly approaching the car.

Noticing the presence of the demon-like people, Gerald then smiled wryly as he shook his head before saying, “So that’s why you’re being so cocky… Did Wesson arrange for you to stop halfway and have me killed?”

“Indeed! Mr. Xanthos planned for all this to happen! While you’re pretty unlucky, I can’t disobey my orders so you’d better get out and get killed already!” sneered the driver as he hopped out of the car before standing a distance away, his arms crossed as he got ready to enjoy Gerald’s misfortune.

Seeing that, Tilar—who had been sitting quietly next to Gerald this entire time—anxiously said, “W-what should we do, Mr. Crawford…? Those people look like demons…!”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if they truly are demons, I’ll just be a demon slayer then!” replied Gerald as he smiled before stepping out of the car.

Looking at the six people, Gerald’s smile remained as he asked, “Ladies and gentlemen, could it be that Wesson sent you over to kill me? Do you intend to deal with my friend here too once you’re done with me?”

“You’re correct. It seems that I didn’t have a wrong impression of you! Alas, while it’s a pity to just kill off such a smart young man as yourself, we don’t have a say in this!” said an old man—who appeared to be the leader of the six—as he shook his head.

“With how handsome he is, I have to agree! I wonder if I should pleasure myself with him first before we kill him…” said one of the women in the group as she stuck her tongue out rather lustfully.

“Don’t be naughty, sister. Let’s just hurry up and accomplish our task. Once he’s dead, we’ll head to where the miracle is to slaughter the rest of the people there!” replied the old man from before as he turned to look at the woman in resignation.

At that moment, Gerald curiously asked, “Quite honestly, there’s been something bugging me for a while now. I wonder if you’d be kind enough to resolve my doubts…”

“Oh? Well, since you’re about to die anyway, we’ll give you two minutes to ask any final questions!” replied the old man.

“Well, the thing is, I find it odd that I keep bumping into enemies—like you—who are so certain that you’ll actually be able to kill me. You all just seem so proud of your plans and intelligence… Is there a reason for that?” asked Gerald in a way that suggested that he was asking them for advice.

“If that’s the question, even I can answer that for you. All of them are rightfully confident since not only are they the six most powerful people in the world, but they’re also operating under Mr. Xanthos and his son, both infamously known for how great they are at strategizing! With the location and even time of your death set in stone, why wouldn’t they be proud about it?” scoffed the driver while smiling smugly.

“I see… Mr. Xanthos does seem to be the kind of person who enjoys getting rid of people once they’re useless to him… With that in mind, I’m sure he already has a backup plan should seven of his people end up failing to kill my friend here…”

“…You… What did you just say?” said the driver, his smugness instantly disappearing.

It was also obvious that the six others didn’t take kindly to having their intelligence humiliated. With that, the old man then casually said, “That’s quite enough. Your time is up! Enjoy your life in hell!”

Following that, the old man then waved his hand, intent on creating a blade of air that would fly toward Gerald and destroy all his internal organs!

However, though the old man’s palm was outstretched, he quickly realized—to his surprise—that no blade of air was formed! In fact, it seemed like his inner strength had just disappeared all of a sudden!

His eyes now wide open in disbelief, the old man then muttered, “…How… How is this even possible…?”

Noticing that their leader seemed to be having trouble, the other five instantly made their own moves, only to end up in a similar situation as the old man. None of them were even capable of inflicting any harm on Gerald…

“…You… Who exactly are you…?”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1392

Though they were now sneering at him, all six of them found themselves taking a few steps back in their shock.

Gerald himself simply shook his head before saying, “I told you, didn’t I? People just seem to enjoy assuming that they can kill me, and you’re all living proof of that. Look, quite frankly, you’re all just grains of dust to me… And I can’t stand the sight of dust!”

Following that, Gerald flicked his finger at them, creating an explosive sound as a strong wave of air swiftly flew toward the six people!

Dust now flying in all directions—due to how powerful the blast of air was—all six of them instinctively turned around, intent on escaping! After all, they knew for a fact that getting caught in that attack would definitely spell instant death for them. What inhuman strength!

While running was the only thing on their mind now, none of them seemed to be able to even lift their legs! It was almost as though the lower half of their bodies had turned to lead!

Unable to even attempt escape, all six of them suddenly found themselves freezing on the spot as they took turns looking at each other with widened eyes… All of them were sure that they had just felt a breeze pass through their necks…

A second later, their decapitated heads then rolled to the ground!

Upon seeing that, the stupefied driver—who had been standing cross-armed at the side this entire time—found himself thinking, ‘…T-to think that this person would actually be this strong…!’

“D-don’t come any closer…!” shouted the trembling driver the second Gerald turned back to look at him.

When Gerald started walking toward him, the driver instantly fell to his knees as he pleaded, “P-please spare my life, boss…! Forgive me for failing to recognize how strong you were earlier…!”

His forehead now pressed against the ground, the driver felt as Gerald slowly placed his foot atop his head…

Wiping the dirt off his shoe on the driver’s hair, Gerald simply replied, “It’s far too late for that!”

Intensifying the force of his foot without warning, the driver couldn’t even brace himself as his head exploded into pieces! What a terrible way to die!

After witnessing all this, Tilar was barely able to avoid wetting himself again as his eyelids twitched rapidly.

Gerald, himself simply got back into the car before closing his eyes and ordering, “Get in the car and let’s go already!”

By this point, they weren’t all that far from where the miracle was, and Gerald wasn’t going to wait any longer than he needed to.

It was a little while later—inside the gigantic cave—when Peter said, “…This should be the end of the miracle, right, Miss Lockland…? To think that such a magical place even exists on this planet… I wouldn’t have believed it had I not witnessed all this for myself!”

He and the others had been deeply amazed by what they had seen so far in this magical underground world. Not only were there forests and treasures hovering all around them, a massive abyss—that led to who knows where—also laid in the middle of the area. Upon closer inspection, there also seemed to be an enormous platform that hovered high above the dead center of the abyss…

This entire place was simply too mystical…

Though Peter had previously considered himself to be quite knowledgeable and insightful, learning about the existence of such a place was a definite first for him.

Zyla herself appeared slightly surprised, though she was taking all this in much better compared to the others.

“…Indeed! This is the place!” replied Zyla with a nod.

“What…? Could Gerald have something he needs here…?” asked Peter curiously.

Zyla simply responded to his question with a simple nod as Leo said, “Speaking of which, when will Mr. Crawford arrive, Angelica…? Had I known about all this, then I would’ve definitely waited in the hotel to come here together with him!”

“He’s probably rushing over this very moment, so he’ll be here soon!” replied Zyla with a faint smile.

As soon as her sentence ended, terrible cries of pain—from the Xanthos family’s disciples—could be heard outside the cave!

“Speak of the devil…” muttered Zyla.

Seconds after she said that, everyone watched as a figure slowly walked toward them from afar… And as soon as he got close enough, Leo’s eyes lit up as he declared, “So it really is you, Mr. Crawford!”

Upon realizing Gerald’s arrival, Peter found himself smiling subtly as well… Until he got a closer look at Gerald. Widening his previously squinted eyes, the shocked Peter found himself muttering, “…Gerald… What on earth happened to your training…?”

It had just been a few days since he had last met Gerald… How had Gerald obtained such immensely frightening strength within that short period of time…?

‘Just as Miss Lockland had said, could it be that Gerald is no longer a regular human being…?’

“Indeed. I inquired about it all the way until I finally managed to catch up to all of you here, sir! Zyla!” replied Gerald as he nodded with a smile before turning to look at the faintly discernible world hovering above him…

a brief silence to recover from his surprise, Gerald eventually said, “…While I’ve found many divine artifacts on my way here, I never thought that I’d come across a place like this…. A space—consisting of multiple other spaces—that resembles a new world… How did you even find such a great place?
