The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1591

“Hurry and get on your feet, Gerald!” shouted Nori as she ran over to help pull him up.

Seeing that she had grabbed the swaddling clothes—that honestly looked more like a rag by now—Gerald then held it in hand before threatening, “Take one more step forward and I’m destroying this thing! Come on, I dare you!”

Upon hearing that, the zombie instantly roared!

To both their surprise, however, the zombie actually lifted both its arms before taking quite a few steps back!

Clearly an indication that it wasn’t going to make any other rash moves, Nori then sighed in relief before saying, “…I really hadn’t expected this thing to actually retain its humanity!”

Just as Gerald was about to breathe his own sigh of relief, a roar of laughter could suddenly be heard booming across the sky…

Following that, a blinding flash could be seen… and seconds later, a figure dropped from the sky in a beam of light!

Landing right before Gerald, the figure fumbled for a bit, possibly due to the aftereffects from Gerald’s earlier attack…

Of course, who else could that have been other than Yusef himself.

“You son of a b*tch! Did you really think you could get rid of me that easily just because you now have the map of the Underworld Valley? I’ll have you know that as long as I’ve lived throughout these hundred years, nobody’s been able to escape my grasp! Regardless, it seems that you have something interesting in your body! In a scenario where both of us had the same level of training, firing that divine vision would’ve surely caused my brain to suffer much worse injuries! With that in mind, I’ll be sure to claim that interesting thing inside you once you’re dead!” declared Yusuf as he clenched his fists before laughing again, his eyes filled with mockery.

‘I’d like to see how you’ll attempt another round of escape!’

“You absolute b*stard! You’ll surely die terribly one day, Yusef!” shouted Nori in her despair.

“Even if that day ever came you wouldn’t be able to witness it!” scoffed Yusef as he smiled, ready to capture Gerald.

“I find it funny how you think you can just capture me that easily!” replied Gerald as he patted his chest.

Laughing in response, Yusef’s smile turned slightly bitter as he shook his head before saying, “What other abilities are you hiding? Show them to me now! Since you’re going to die soon anyway, I’ll let you hit me three times again if you fail to display something strong enough!”

“You asked for it! Here’s my secret weapon!” replied Gerald as he instantly tossed what was in his hand!

Upon closer inspection, it was the swaddling clothes from before that Gerald had crumpled into a ball!

However, Yusef grabbed it with extreme ease!

“You b*stard! An old rag? Seriously? My magnificent strength must have scared you stupid!” shouted Yusef as he laughed aloud.

Following that, Yusef slowly lifted the balled-up swaddling clothes in one hand… and the next thing Gerald and Nori knew, Yusef’s hand began burning!

With the swaddling clothes still in hand, it turned to ashes in no time at all…

The second the clothes were nothing but dust, three successive roars filled the air…! It was the zombie from before!

Having witnessed the waddling clothes getting burnt into a crisp, the zombie now glared murderously at Yusef as the purplish-green hair all over its body rapidly began darkening.

It was only when the zombie began releasing a constant stream of black smoke from its mouth that Yusef finally sensed its demonic presence.

“…Fezrumoz?” muttered the slightly bewildered Yusef as he stared at the zombie.

Fezrumoz was quite famous within the Underworld Valley as a vicious and cruel beast. With that in mind, Yusef definitely knew who this zombie was, and he was also aware that it had the same amount of training as a Ninth-rank Chakra King! Aside from its immense strength, the beast was pretty much immortal as well!

In short, only someone who had managed to enter the Sage Realm could have a chance of even killing the zombie for good. Knowing that, a fearful expression was instantly displayed on Yusef’s face. It didn’t help that the zombie was looking at it with such murderous intent.

“What do you plan on doing, Fezrumoz?” asked Yusef as he took two steps backward.

Fezrumoz, however, gave no reply. Instead, the zombie simply charged toward the man with frightening levels of murderous intent!

Seeing that, Yusef immediately began making his retreat!

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1592

Even so, no matter how far Yusef went, Fezrumoz simply continued pursuing him!

Seeing that running wasn’t doing him any good, Yusef then shouted, “You b*stard! How dare you! Continue chasing me and I’ll burn those swaddling clothes of yours! Once I do that, your pitiful child won’t even have any bones left behind! You wouldn’t want that, would you?!”

According to the rumors that Yusef had heard before, one didn’t need to panic or run whenever they bumped into Fezrumoz. The only thing one needed to do to scare the beast off was declare that they would snatch the zombie’s swaddling clothes if it came any closer.

While it should have stopped Fezrumoz from attacking any further, the zombie only began attacking even more viciously after hearing Yusef say that! Yusef’s words seemed to have only infuriated it even more!

“What the hell? Why aren’t you stopping?!” grumbled Yusef with a frown.

In his state of panic, he turned to look at Gerald and Nori… Only to realize that both of them had already made their escape! There was no way he was going to be able to pursue them any further!

At that moment, he turned to look at what he was holding… and it was then when he finally realized what Gerald’s ‘secret weapon’ was.

“You… You mothercking bstard…! No wonder Fezrumoz is being this murderous! You tossed me the swaddling clothes of the baby that it adored most!” cursed Yusef as he glared in the direction that Gerald had initially been standing in.

Though the now sweaty Yosef wanted to curse even more profanities, Fezrumoz was still chasing him, and the man knew better than to waste his breath.

It was sometime later when Nori asked, “We… should be near the Primocorose, right, Gerald…?”

With both of them now walking around in the darkened valley, Gerald then replied, “If the map’s directions are accurate, then we should be arriving soon. Even so, we’d best take a rest in the valley first. I’m injured now and I don’t wish to place myself in danger yet. We can look for the Primocorose tomorrow.”

Thankfully, both of them found a cave, and after Gerald made sure it was safe inside, both of them then entered to stay the night.

Sometime later, Gerald was sitting cross-legged, slowly allowing his body to heal when he suddenly heard Nori say in a softened voice, “Um… Could you do me a favor, Gerald…?”

“What is it?” asked Gerald as he opened his eyes.

“…Well… there’s a pool over there… and we’ve been traveling for quite some time now so… I was wondering if I could take a shower…” muttered Nori as her face blushed slightly.

“Go on ahead. You don’t have to worry about me peeking!” replied Gerald as he shook his head with a bitter smile.

“…But… That pool’s simply too close to this place! I’m not saying you will, but temptation’s a thing, you know? We’re talking about a woman taking a shower here! There’s no way I can do that with you so close by!” mumbled Nori as her cheeks reddened even more.

Staring back at her, Gerald felt that this woman really was something else… At times she was rather stingy, and during others, she was honestly quite righteous… Then there were the times where she could be rather annoying. This moment was a perfect example of that.

Shaking his head, Gerald then asked, “Fine, what do you want me to do then?”

“I’d… like you to lend me your shirt for a while! I’ll be using it as a curtain between us!” explained Nori.

Sighing as he shook his head again, Gerald then did as she suggested before closing his eyes again to rest.

In the end, however, Gerald still ended up frowning slightly when he heard the soft crinkles of Nori undressing herself. He was still a man, after all, and he was unable to remain calm for much longer.

Upon opening his eyes, he subconsciously turned to look in Nori’s direction… However, what he saw shocked him.

“Nori!” shouted Gerald as he instantly got to his feet.

“Wha- Gerald! You promised you wouldn’t look!” shrieked the now angered woman.

“Look, just hurry over!” instructed Gerald.

Thankfully, Nori had only taken off her coat by that point, and after covering herself, she instantly stomped toward him before angrily grumbling, “You better have a good explanation for this!”

Looking at the furious woman’s face, Gerald simply sighed before saying, “Just… turn around and look for yourself! There’s some kind of figure hovering above the pool!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1593

Upon hearing that, Nori instantly screamed before running over to hide behind Gerald!

Neither of them had earlier noticed the presence of the sword that had probably been hovering above the pool this entire time. The more shocking thing, however, was the fact that a black figure could—in turn—be seen faintly hovering atop the sword!

“W-who are you…?” demanded the frightened Nori.

“I go by Jade Infused Blade!” replied the figure in a rather faint mechanical tone.

“You… How could you be this despicable…? Were you waiting to see my bare body…?” mumbled Nori, too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“Before any further misunderstandings take place, I’ll have you know that I’m blind, miss. I only came over since I sensed my master’s aura within the vicinity,” explained Jade Infused Blade as his body slowly solidified…
