The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1561

“What wonderful news! From this moment forth, he’ll be recognized by the cultivating realms all across the globe as the King of the North!” whispered Carlos and the others excitedly among themselves.

Gerald, however, didn’t seem to care too much about this. After all, by this point, honor and recognition weren’t really important to him anymore.

Regardless, Priest Jenkin then cleared his throat before saying, “Actually, there’s one more thing that one of the Ringmasters of Obliteration entrusted me to tell you… Quite frankly, however, I’m not really sure if you’d like to hear it…”

Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “Please share it with me, leading priest!”

“Well… I heard from the King of South Asia that Daryl’s had some beef with you… As I’ve earlier said, the Ringmasters of Obliteration have a rule of not getting involved with the real world… I’m sure you can guess where I’m going with this, but the love-hate relationship between you and Daryl has gotten to the point where you actually killed the Turnbull family’s young master! While the past is in the past, I’ve been told to advise the two of you to have a nice talk about all this… After all, in the end, this is all for the peace of the cultivating realm…” explained Priest Jenkin.

“First off, there’s something wrong with that statement… You see, I’m not the one unwilling to let go of all this. In fact, you can trust me when I say that it’s the other person who isn’t letting me off! Regardless, now that you’ve all spoken up, I can agree to meet and have a talk with Daryl once the chance presents itself. However, I’ll only be willing to do so if he first releases my family members!” replied Gerald in a straightforward but casual way so that even an idiot would be able to fully understand his message.

Daryl had been playing this game for the longest time, making precise calculations and even manipulating Gerald’s ancestors, all for the sake of eventually being able to deal with Gerald.

With that in mind, it was evident that Gerald had been hurt far too much by that old man. Despite the good advice from the Ringmasters of Obliteration, Gerald wasn’t about to just let that old man off that easily. Daryl needed to pay something back for all the damage he had done to him.

Putting his grudges against that old man aside, Gerald fully understood that the Ringmasters of Obliteration simply didn’t want him to hurt innocent people or intervene with secular matters. Both of those were naturally no issue for Gerald.

“That’s great to hear! Now I can return and give the ringmasters a good explanation! Well, without further ado, I’ll be taking my leave then, Master Gerald!”

After the priest left, everyone instantly began excitedly chatting with each other.

“What a great and honorable title the King of the North is!”

As the others chatted on, Gerald knew for a fact that he wouldn’t be able to find peace yet. After all, there were simply far too many things he still needed to do in the future… All he could do in the meantime, was hope that his family members were all still safe and sound…

The second his thought ended, a loud ‘bang’ could be heard before the ship began shaking all of a sudden! Sensing that the waves beneath them were now churning violently out of the blue, Gerald found himself furrowing his brows, wondering what was going on.

By exerting some force, the waves instantly went calm again, though almost immediately after, a massive force attracted Gerald’s attention.

Activating his divine eye, Gerald scanned the area up ahead… before closing it again after only a brief moment.

“There’s no need to panic, everyone! I’ll be heading off for a while, but don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!” said Gerald rather casually before he slowly faded away…

Within the country of Yanam, tall mountains were everywhere. However, there was one mountain, in particular, that was so tall that it went above the clouds… Almost as though it connected the heavens with the earth, the mountain was aptly named Alpview.

At that moment—above the many clouds beneath Alpview’s peak—a man donning plain clothes could be seen standing on a tall porch, his arms against his back as he stared at the near-endless horizon of mountains and rivers before him…

With how tall Alpview was, it was no wonder why nobody else was there.

All of a sudden, Gerald could suddenly be seen slowly walking over…

Staring at the old man’s back with a bitter smile on his face, Gerald then said, “You know, I was devastated when I first realized the possibility of you being dead… After all, you were still my respectable grandpa whom I prided greatly before all this… I won’t lie that at the time, I truly felt the warmth and love of family from you!”

“Oh? Is that so? Regardless, I have to say that I’m rather impressed that you’ve been able to grow so much in both ability and maturity from when we last met… Honestly, I was expecting a bit more surprise from you upon reuniting with me. Well, I guess this reaction of yours is pretty interesting too. Whatever the case is, quite a lot truly has happened throughout these few months!” replied Daryl as he slowly turned around…

Their eyes now meeting, both men seemed unexpectedly calm and composed…

“As you’ve said, I’m no longer the old me! Regardless, I’m sure you know why both of us are meeting today. Cutting straight to the chase, release my family right this instant! They have nothing to do with what’s happening between us!” said Gerald in a casual tone.

“Release them you say? Oh, I will! I’ll definitely be releasing Dylan and the rest! Of course, that includes Mila!” sneered Daryl.

“…What? You… You’ve even captured Mila?” replied Gerald, stunned.

“That’s right! While she did get captured by those from the Sun League, she didn’t die! Quite a bit happened after that, but essentially, I managed to get my hands on her while she was representing Jaellatra on a trip to earth! Either way, I know how much you want your family to be together, Gerald, which is why I’m honestly doing you a favor by reuniting her with Dylan and the rest!” said Daryl with a scoff.

“You… You despicable rat…!” growled the infuriated Gerald as he instantly made a sword finger gesture!

A split second later, a strong bolt of lightning shot toward Daryl’s direction!

While it was true that Daryl’s initial goal had been to trigger Gerald, now that he saw how strong Gerald’s attack was, his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch. This power… He truly was a Chakra King!

“Demon protection!” yelled Daryl as darkness rapidly encased the old man within a protective orb!

Had Daryl activated the skill a second later, the golden bolt would’ve surely struck him! Even so, the near-blindingly bright bolt wasn’t done yet. Still pushing against Daryl’s dark barrier, the force of it began creating gales that were so strong that it uprooted a lot of the vicinity’s greenery, causing them to instantly wilt!

Shortly after, an explosive sound could be heard as even the porch that Daryl was still standing on—that wasn’t protected under the dark orb—blasted into pieces! Following that, debris and dust began flying everywhere…

It honestly shouldn’t have been that hard for Daryl to block Gerald’s lightning attack. After all, he was a Third-rank Chara King as well.

What he hadn’t anticipated, however, was the fact that Gerald’s sword attack would behave this strangely! It was constantly changing!

From what Daryl could see, it looked like multiple pulses of power were being pushed into the golden bolt of lightning, making it larger and larger as more power flowed into it!

Eventually, a crack could be heard, and before Daryl knew it, the shadowy barrier had shattered not unlike broken glass!

This wasn’t good! Immediately retracting his power, Daryl then made a mad dash away from the incoming attack!

Following that, the ground almost seemed to explode as the lighting bolt shot right for the cliff opposite of them, leaving a deep gash that was at least four meters deep!

Upon seeing that, Daryl quickly found himself stumbling backward till the back of his soles touched the cliff’s edge…

Even after managing to stabilize himself, Daryl’s breath was heavy and his eyes wide open as the utterly flabbergasted old man muttered, “…What… What kind of attack even was that? Where did you learn that from?!”

“Just so you know, aside from Thunder Eruption, there exists another skill called the Ninth-sky Blade. As a trivia, this skill was specifically designed to counter evil powers like yours!” explained Gerald in a frigid tone.

“…How incredible… It truly appears that you’ve inherited all of Liemis’s powers… However, allow me to remind you that both of us are Third-rank Chara Kings, Gerald. I hope you don’t assume that I’ll lose to you, just because you have an extra skill or two! Regardless, I’ve been feeling a bit worn out in the past few days. With that said, what do you say to a duel at Yanam’s dragon tower at noon tomorrow? Since we’re having a decisive battle on who lives or dies, I’ll be sure to bring your family members along as well!” growled Daryl in an icy tone as he placed his hands against his back.

While Daryl had a poker face on, a steady stream of blood was already dripping from his torn palms and purlicues. Even the veins on his trembling arms were now extremely visible as they pulsated wildly due to all the stress they had just faced.

“Very well, then! We’ll end this tomorrow!” agreed Gerald before immediately leaving.

Seconds after Gerald’s departure, two shadowy figures suddenly bounded over to Daryl’s side…

“I have to insist that you’re overestimating him, my lord! Using the great dragon extermination spell on him… Don’t you think that you’re treating him a bit too highly?”

“That’s right! After all, even though he’s become the King of the North and is now a Chakra King like you, it’s evident that he’s still far less capable in comparison! I mean, Gerald wasn’t even able to land a single hit on you earlier!”

If it wasn’t evident enough, both of the men—who were at the level of Eighth-rank Masters—were very close to Daryl.

Before they could say anything else, however, Daryl suddenly spurted a fountain of blood out of his mouth, falling to his knees seconds later!

“…W-what? M-my lord!” shouted the shocked duo.

Before they were able to help him up, the shivering Daryl—whose forehead was now overflowing with sweat—shouted, “Don’t touch me! My… Several of my veins have been damaged by Gerald’s essential qi! If we’re not careful I’ll be as good as gone!”

Following that, the injured old man looked at the direction that Gerald had left in, his heart beating wildly and his eyes unable to hide their wariness.

In an almost heartbroken tone, Daryl then muttered, “…He… His power is now far beyond mine… He’s become too powerful…! I’ll undoubtedly end up losing in our battle tomorrow!”

“…T-then… What should we do, my lord?” asked the now panicking duo.

“What else can be done? We only have the great dragon extermination spell left! If that can’t take Gerald down, then nobody on this planet will ever come close to becoming his opponent again… It truly isn’t a stretch to claim that Gerald is now the strongest man on Earth!” replied Daryl, complex emotions reflected in his eyes.

“…Well, what are you still standing there for? Hurry! Return and start preparing the great dragon extermination spell!” bellowed Daryl.

It wasn’t long after before the battle between Daryl and Gerald started spreading around.
