Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthimself, 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!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter 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.
