Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1171
With that said, Hendrik ordered for Gerald to be arrested.
Not long after, Gerald found himself within a secret room with Hendrik.
“Tell me, Gerald… Are you aware of any secret techniques to get rid of ancient witchcraft…?” asked Hendrik coldly.
“Secret techniques? Now why would I know anything of the sort! After all, such techniques are only taught to those within the Holy Witchcraft, no?” replied Gerald rather casually as he turned to look at Hendrik.
“You’d best stop putting on an act before me, you brat! I’ll admit that I used a secret ancient witchcraft technique on Chester’s body long ago… That particular witchcraft poisons a person’s heart, making them act in eccentric, unreasonable, and extreme ways! After a long period of time, said person would eventually die from insanity! I was lucky to have come across such an ancient technique, you know? Regardless, when I saw Chester again earlier, the witchcraft I had placed upon him seemed to have been lifted! While he was able to regain his consciousness, I’m glad that old woman still killed him with a single blow! Otherwise, all my plans would’ve been for nothing!” growled Hendrik as he glowered at Gerald.
Grabbing Gerald by his collar, he then added, “Now hurry up and spit out the truth! If it wasn’t you, then is there anyone else among you who’s proficient in ancient secret techniques?!”
In truth, Gerald had noticed something odd about Chester back when he had just cornered him in the woods. After using his mind-reading ability on Chester, he realized that Chester wasn’t actually a person with bad character. In contrast, he seemed to be constantly repenting and confessing his sins!
Simultaneously, Gerald also noticed an inner demon within him that wished to simply act uncontrollably.
Something just didn’t feel quite right about that. After all, while childhood traumas could certainly be linked with having extreme feelings or emotions, the things Gerald sensed within Chester were on a whole new level.
It was then when Gerald realized that someone had used heart devouring witchcraft on him. Such witchcraft was poisonous to the afflicted, and the technique could be used on any part of the body. If a person wasn’t proficient in the technique or if they didn’t know about its existence in the first place, even a master who was skilled with poisons wouldn’t be able to tell if someone was suffering from the witchcraft.
However, Finnley had previously taught and passed on all his skills to Gerald. As a result, Gerald was much more proficient in poisons since he had received legitimate training on them.
Regardless, sometime after that incident, Gerald found an opportunity to remove the poison from Chester’s body. However, he had refrained from telling Chester about it since he only wanted to tell him about it once he fully recovered.
Anyhow, that was the reason why Gerald had treated Chester so well. If it wasn’t because of the poison, Chester pretty much had a simple and kind personality. But there was no use thinking about all this now…
Chester was no longer among the living.
He had died because of Gerald, and Hendrick was the one who had set him up.
Thinking about that, Gerald turned to glare daggers at Hendrik, immense murderous intent reflected in his eyes.
“Not only are you refusing to answer my question, but now you’re even glaring at me so murderously? Have it your way! I have many ways to make a useless person like you speak up! While I can’t kill you, I can still make you suffer by humiliating you to the point where you’d definitely prefer to be dead rather than alive!” declared Hendrik as his eyes widened.
“Men! Tie him up before hanging him out at the port! He’s going to be placed there as an exhibit for tens of thousands of people… Only let him down once he’s willing to fess up!” ordered Hendrik as he laughed aloud.
Swiftly obeying, Gerald soon found himself on the ground as Hendrik’s subordinates began tying his hands behind his back…
True to Hendrik’s orders, Gerald was soon hung up—for all to see—at the port.
Also true to Hendrik’s words, an almost endless number of pedestrians immediately recognized who he was when they walked past him, prompting many to take the time to stare and discuss Gerald’s current plight.
“Oh god, isn’t that Mr. Crawford…?”
“The hell is going on? How did he even end up in such a sorry state?”
“Well, I’m sure you’ve heard by now of how vile the internal committee of the Holy Witchcraft actually is, right? You see, Mr. Crawford was the one who had uncovered their lies and exposed them! Due to his actions, the young lord turned into a new leaf and even announced his departure from the Holy Witchcraft! Since then, Mr. Crawford supposedly took the young lord under his wing!”
“You know, Mr. Crawford’s provided no shortage of economic-based projects for the Yonwick family… In fact, he’s even taken the initiative to invest and start several development projects on Montholm Island! You can already tell that Mr. Crawford is a good man from all that he’s done!” explained a passer-by.
While they clearly viewed him positively, none of those discussing Gerald dared to speak out loud. After all, there were two guardians from the Holy Witchcraft who were keeping a close watch on Gerald, and everyone knew that those from that clan were proficient in witchcraft that could easily be used to kill others.
Though they were aware that attempting to rescue him would definitely spell trouble, many of the pedestrians chose to remain there. To them, since they couldn’t actively help him, keeping him company was the next best thing.
Around that time, a car slowly drove past the area…
“…Hmm? M-miss Queena, look! It’s Mr. Crawford!” exclaimed the shocked driver when he saw who had been hoisted up at the port.
Hearing that, she immediately rolled the car’s windows down to have a look for herself. Naturally, the sight of Gerald in such a condition made her feel quite distressed.
While she was extremely tempted to lower Gerald right this instant, she kept reminding herself that his current situation was pretty much ideal for her plan to work out. In her mind, she summarized that after Gerald arrived at the point where he couldn’t bear the humiliation anymore, he would eventually come to realize that she was the only person who truly cared about him. By that point, he would surely choose to approach her, begging for mercy!
For her plan to come true, she knew she had to endure her own pain, even if it made her slightly distressed.
“So it is! Well, he has nothing to do with us! Drive on!” replied Queena as she closed her eyes.
Not daring to delay the car ride, the driver simply obeyed and drove off.
Meanwhile, Gerald was thinking to himself, ‘I have to quickly think of a way to recover my strength! If this goes on, then I’ll definitely miss out on the pledge of the holy water! However, even after I’ve escaped, I have no real way of contacting grandpa at all…!’
Hours passed and soon, it was late at night…
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1172
By that point, out of fear that those from within the crowd would attempt to rescue Gerald, the two guardians—who were tasked with keeping an eye on Gerald—quickly drove away anyone who had chosen to stay behind.
As a result, only silence remained when Gerald looked up at the moon in the midnight sky.
Throughout the afternoon earlier, Gerald had remained focused on thinking up a way to break free of his seal. After all, not only was the clock ticking, but Gerald had also come to realize something from Chester’s death.
That being, he couldn’t allow anyone else around him to suffer any more harm or die because of him!
With that in mind, he was eventually able to come up with a method to break his seals.
Back when he had first come across the deity, Gerald had found a ring-shaped jade pendant that embedded several memories into his mind.
Though he now had memories of learning several new skills, despite previously attempting to use those skills for himself, Gerald realized that he could only actually practice a small portion of the skills.
Regardless, while thinking of ways to remove his seal earlier, Gerald recalled a training technique that he felt could easily and quickly allow him to break free of all three of them.
However, said technique was also evil in nature, and if the user of the technique wasn’t careful, they could easily get corrupted after receiving such a surge of power. What more, the execution of the technique was also rather cruel, even for Gerald’s standards.
Due to that, he spent much of his remaining time wondering whether he should take the risk and use such a dangerous technique. Even after quite some time, however, Gerald knew that in the end, he didn’t have much of a choice. There simply wasn’t any other way, and he was well aware that he couldn’t afford to allow anything bad to happen to Joshua and the others due to his hesitation.
Anyhow, in order to actually use the technique, Gerald first needed to practice it for some time, so he figured that midnight would be the best time to do so. With Gerald already having memories of the technique implanted in his mind, he knew it wasn’t going to be too difficult for him to practice it.
Now that midnight was here, the determined youth felt that it was high time that he began practicing it. Since he was left hanging mid-air now, Gerald simply closed his eyes, resting while simultaneously manipulating the flow of the meridians in his body in accordance to the paths that his implanted memories showed him.
Fast forward to a week later, Gerald finally determined that his soul was ready. It was now finally time for Gerald to use the Dawnbreaker!
‘Come forth, Dawnbreaker!’ Gerald ordered through his mind.
Almost instantaneously, the black blade flew out of Gerald’s sleeve and swiftly sliced open the rope that had been binding him this entire time!
Now freed from his restraints, Gerald fell to the ground, almost losing his footing since his body was still slightly weak.
As Gerald let out a long sigh of relief, he suddenly heard someone sneer, “The hell? How’d the ropes break? Hold up, looks like he had a dagger with him this entire time! Thankfully, the second lord sent seven of us to keep an eye on you, twenty-four hours a day! Otherwise, you would’ve surely made your escape!”
After sliding the Dawnbreaker back into his sleeve, Gerald turned to look at the seven smirking men from the Holy Witchcraft who were all staring at him as they slowly approached the youth.
Despite how cruel his following actions would be, Gerald had already convinced himself that he was only using the technique due to there being no other way to break the seals.
“Hey, brat! Are you going to tie yourself up or do you need us to do it for you? I’ll have you know that you’re just begging for trouble just by attempting to escape!” said the leader of the men as he continued walking over to Gerald in a carefree manner, intent on giving the youth a few gentle slaps to the face to teach him a lesson.
Once the leader was within range, however, Gerald immediately grabbed hold of his guardian’s head before unleashing the technique he had been practicing throughout the week!
At that moment, a surreal and slightly chilling sound could be heard. Soon enough, the guardian’s screams of pain were added to the mix.
To the six other guardians, it looked as though a huge suction force was sucking their leader dry, causing his body to rapidly begin shriveling up as his cheeks sunk so much that his pale face now resembled a skull more than anything.
Their leader’s skin soon turned a purplish-black as it continued shriveling to a point where only ashes remained… Releasing his grasp on the ashes, Gerald turned to look at the six screaming men who were all paralyzed in fear after witnessing the horrors that Gerald had just committed right before their very eyes.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1173
This evil method was known as the Soul Eater, and by using it, Gerald was able to quickly drain his victim’s vitality, turning it into his own. Naturally, this meant that the more souls he absorbed, the more strength and energy he would gain.
None of the guardians had expected Gerald to possess such a diabolical skill, but it was already far too late for them to escape. With the same technique, Gerald swiftly absorbed the vitality of the six remaining men, resulting in each of them turning into mere piles of dust.
After completing the deed, fierce determination glinted in Gerald’s eyes as he stared off into the distance.
While he had now managed to recover around thirty percent of his strength, Gerald was well aware that even at his peak strength, he still wasn’t going to be a match for Queena by a longshot.
With that in mind, he knew that he needed to get as far away from Queena as possible. After all, his current priority was still to locate the actual woman in white.
Even so, Gerald was sure that it wasn’t going to be as easy since Queena had supernatural powers.
After giving it some thought, he decided to look for Master Ghost to get another reading from him. After all, up till this point, everything that Master Ghost had predicted had eventually come true.
