The Secretly Rich Man

The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1441-1450

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1441

The darkness quickly spread across the entire private room, deeply scaring all of the other rich heirs to the point of screaming. After all, anyone caught in a similar situation would surely be filled with desperation.

“I-I’m sorry, Gerald…! It’s entirely my fault…!” whimpered Jasmine.

Pulling her to stand behind him, Gerald simply consoled, “It’s fine, just stay behind me!”

Soon enough, the darkness dispersed, leaving three orbs of light in its place… Everyone then watched as lights began increasing in size till they eventually formed human silhouettes.

By the time the lights dimmed down, two men and a woman stood face to face with Gerald.

One of the men gave off a particularly imposing aura, and his entire body was plated with black armor. The other man, on the other hand, had a tailcoat draped around his slim figure.

As for the sharp-chinned woman who had an extremely graceful-looking figure, a strange charm seemed to exude from every orifice of her body. Adding that to her long, wavy, and red hair, she looked very much like a serpentine demon.

The trio was part of the Judgement Portal, and together, they made up the Squad of Judgement Portal.

Gerald had already met one of them before this, that being the burly man with black armor on… It was Hogan, the person who had almost ended Gerald’s life back then!

Even to the King of Judgment Portal, all three of them were considered to be quite powerful and capable people. With that said, knowing that he was able to rely on the extraordinarily talented trio was the reason why Quigley—Mr. Sime—had been so confident earlier.

What more, he was positive that Gerald would have no escape from this perfect trap that both the Gunters and those from the Judgement Portal had set up to deal with Gerald.

Laughing mockingly, Quigley then sneered, “Well, Gerald? What do you think? I’m sure you’ve guessed that with my three friends here, things are going to end rather simply, but also extremely violently for you! Heh, even sprouting wings to escape won’t save you now!”

Murderous intent reflected in his eyes, Quigley then added, “You know, once you’re out of the picture, the Simes will be able to legitimately inherit all your family’s wealth and assets! That’s over half of the world’s wealth! Hahaha! I really don’t know how to thank you enough, Gerald! After all, in a way, everything the Crawfords have done up till this point has been for the Sime family’s sake! Heh. I’m guessing you’re in a bad mood now, right? Though with how smug I’m being, of course you’d be annoyed!”

As Quigley sneered again before lighting a cigarette—his legs still crossed—, Gerald simply smiled calmly before replying, “On the contrary, I’m rather elated now that all three of them are here!”

“…Oh? Could you already have gone mad with fright? Do share why you’re feeling so happy!” asked Quigley as he returned a smile.

“Well, let’s just say I have a grudge against one of these three people… I had initially been wondering how I’d be able to get my revenge, but lo and behold! Here he is, standing right before me! You truly saved me a lot of time and effort to find you!” replied Gerald as he pointed at Hogan.

‘You broke all my tendons, causing me to suffer terribly… Now that you’re standing before me…’ Gerald thought to himself, fully ready to have his revenge.

“Heh, he’s talking about you, Hogan!” said the sole woman of the trip as she stuck her tongue out before turning to look at the big man.

“He’s just a small fry! I’ve already ruined him once, and I have no problem with doing it again! Since the master instructed us to keep him alive, I’ll just make sure he’s constantly just a few breaths away from dying!” declared Hogan coldly as he slowly raised his palms…

Within seconds, his iron palms darkened, and by the end of the transformation, they looked similar to steel forks!

Turning to look at Quigley, Hogan then said, “You’ve truly made a great contribution this time around, Young Master Sime! I’m sure the master will reward you greatly!”

Hearing that, Quigley simply smiled before excitedly replying, “That’s for sure! Also, after the Simes inherit all the Crawford family’s properties, I promise that each of you will be able to enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world!”

Laughing aloud, the serpent-like demoness of a woman then smiled before saying, “I’d like a lot of men then, Young Master Sime!”

“Not a problem! I’ll be sure to satisfy every one of your wishes!” said Quigley as he burst out laughing.

Watching as the group chatted among themselves, Gerald simply shook his head with a bitter smile on his face before saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m still here you know? Not only did you fail to greet me, but to think that you’re even discussing how to share my family’s properties among yourselves, right in my face!”

“Haha! You don’t seem to understand how dire your situation truly is at the moment, Gerald! Just to remind you, you’ve fallen into my trap, and I’m more than willing to take responsibility for ordering the trio to kill you! I guess it’s just fate! While your martial art skills are greater than mine, in the end, I still come up on top due to my intelligence!” retorted Quigley with a smug smile.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1442

“There’s no need to say anything more to him, Young Master Sime. Allow me to capture and break all his limbs first before we continue our little chat!” said Hogan as his imposing aura seemed to amplify by the second!

Lifting his steel claws, he then dashed toward Gerald incredibly quickly, creating a force so massive that it caused all the surrounding furniture to be smashed into pieces! It wasn’t hard to determine that Hogan was now much stronger compared to when he had first encountered Gerald!

As Hogan’s palm came inches before Gerald’s body, an explosive sound was heard…!

However, Gerald was still standing. In fact, Hogan hadn’t even been able to touch him!

Now completely paralyzed in place, the deeply shocked Hogan found himself saying, “…What?”

It was obvious that Hogan was being held down by an immense force, and this caused the woman in black and the man with the tailcoat’s eyelids to begin twitching rapidly.

“While I wasn’t a match for you at the time, you’re but an ant to me now!” replied Gerald as a strong beam of light suddenly shot out from one of his fingers!

Both rapid and strong, the light sliced through Hogan as though it were a sword… And a second later, disgusting sounds could be heard as Hogan was split clean in half!

Watching as Hogan’s purplish-black flesh seared open extremely bloodily, desperation began filling everyone’s eyes again. Even the remaining duo—from the Squad of Judgment Portal—found themselves tensing up considerably!

“…H-how powerful…! Ariana, detain him here! I’ll be calling for reinforcements!” instructed the man in the tailcoat.

Drawing in a cold breath, the man—who was particularly good at the lightness skill— felt his body sway slightly…

Anyone looking at him at that moment then stared wide-eyed as the man disappeared out the window!

Now all alone, Ariana’s fear instantly doubled! Though her immediate thought was to escape, she knew that it simply wasn’t going to happen.

Gerald himself simply waved his hand in a slashing moment, and soon enough, pieces of Ariana’s diced-up body flopped to the ground.

Seeing that it had only taken Gerald a few minutes to completely turn the tables, Quigley found himself gulping as he stuttered, “T-this… This…!”

Not even realizing that he had wet himself, Quigley instantly knelt before shouting, “M-Mr. Crawford…!”

“You said you were extremely intelligent, no? Do you have any idea how many people have told me the same thing? I do wonder what goes on in those brains of yours… To be able to so confidently boast about your intellect… Compared to all of you, I barely have any confidence most of the time!” replied Gerald as he looked into Quigley’s eyes.

“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…! I… I was forced to do all this…! L-look, since that man’s headed off to call for reinforcements, I’m sure the King of Judgment Portal and Yreth will be rushing over soon…! With that in mind, please give me a chance to redeem myself! If you spare my life, I’ll show you an excellent escape route…!” pleaded Quigley as he continuously bumped his forehead against the ground.

“…Gerald, about that person…” muttered Jasmine, clearly worried about the main in the tailcoat who had escaped.

Hearing that, Gerald casually walked toward the window before saying, “Close your eyes, Jasmine!”

“…H-huh? I… Alright!” replied Jasmine as she instantly did as she was told.

Once he was sure she had done so, Gerald closed his own eyes… And at that moment, a golden eye appeared on his forehead!

The second his third eye opened, an explosive sound was heard as the entire private room was engulfed in a blinding, golden light!

Upon seeing the light, several people instantly began screaming in pain as they covered their eyes. Some of them were even convulsing on the floor at this point, foaming from their mouths as they continued suffering.

Not long after, a shockwave aimed at the sky was launched out of the golden eye…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1443

Meanwhile, the man in the tailcoat was still soaring in the sky, his heart beating wildly as he thought, ‘That was way too terrifying…! I need to get as far away as possible from him…! I truly hadn’t expected that guy’s training to be even more vicious than my master’s! Thank god I retreated quickly!’

The second his thought ended, however, he immediately felt himself being tugged! Turning to look at what was holding him back, he was shocked to find out that not only had a lasso of searing light caught onto him—preventing him from going any further—, but a shockwave with immense power was now shooting toward him at high speed!

His eyes now fully widened, the man immediately began screaming as he desperately tried to free himself. Unfortunately, that wasn’t about to happen, and with an explosive sound, the shockwave shot through his body, leaving only fine dust behind…!

It was then when Gerald finally reopened his eyes back at the house. Upon closing his golden eye, everything else returned to normal.

While that was the case, Quigley—who was now suffering from a terrible headache and extremely pained eyes—found himself sweating profusely as he thought, ‘This… This person’s a demon without a doubt…! His frighteningly pressuring aura alone is enough to make people find it hard to breathe…!’
