Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1328
Rupert found himself frowning as he said that. Naturally, he was going to be reluctant to part with his assents, and
since he was still alive, he was definitely going to at least attempt to negotiate further.
Fixing his gaze on Rupert, Gerald simply replied, “A third!”
Hearing that, the elders found themselves exchanging glances with one another. It was already obvious that the
knife was at Rupert’s throat, so there really was no reason for him to continue trying to bargain with Gerald. With
how things were currently going, the elders knew for a fact that there was a very real possibility of Rupert losing the
entire valley to Gerald by the time all this was over.
Taking in a deep breath, Rupert—who was still unwilling to just agree like that—then said, “Please don’t take
advantage of us knowing that we’re already at our weakest, young lad! So be it! I’ll hand you a fifth of the valley,
just as you’ve asked before! Is that agreeable?”
“Half of King Valley! Nothing less if you still want me to help you!” replied Gerald with a smile.
Rupert instantly knelt on the ground upon hearing that. He truly was caught in a dilemma since it wouldn’t be right
for him to simply accept Gerald’s condition like that.
Quite honestly, he was wondering if Gerald would truly end up being useful in the end. After all, not even the three
masters and two gunmen he had hired were able to deal with the situation. In the end, however, he knew that
Gerald was his final ray of hope, and he couldn’t just let him walk off now that he was already on the verge of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeath.
He now also knew better than to continue trying to trick Gerald, knowing full well that if he attempted it one more
time, Gerald would most certainly end up getting the entire valley.
If only he had known that things were going to end up this way, then he would’ve definitely attempted to build a
better relationship with Gerald earlier. To think that Gerald had simply started off asking for three Cherish herbs…
There were at least a million of them stored within King Valley after collecting them for hundreds of years! Why
hadn’t he just given three of them to him and be done with it?
Now extremely frantic, Rupert could almost feel himself losing his temper. However, he refrained, knowing that
whether he got angry or not, there was still not going to be any other way out.
With that in mind, the master of the valley gritted his teeth and stomped his foot hard on the ground before saying,
“…Very well! I’ll… I’ll give you half of King Valley! Now please, please, help me get rid of those enemies!”
“Now wouldn’t it have been better for you not to play any of your petty tricks in the first place…?” replied Gerald
with a grin before turning to look at Bradley and the others.
From what he was able to tell, Bradley’s strength was close to the middle stage of the Spirit Earth Realm, the same
stage that Gerald currently was on. While that would technically signify that he and Gerald were equally matched in
terms of strength, Gerald was clearly superior when it came to the amount of training both of them had
experienced.
“…Don’t get cocky too soon! From what I can sense, both of us are equally matched in terms of our inner strength!
Furthermore, I have my brother and nephew here with me!” grunted Bradley. While it was true that he was a very
cautious person, his anger had overtaken most of his rationality. He was so infuriated, in fact, that blood was
already starting to seep from his old facial scar, making him look all the more ferocious!
Looking straight into Bradley’s eyes, Gerald then replied, “Oh? You don’t believe that I can take you down? Hmm…
What to do… I guess I’ll just have to prove my point by having all three of you come at me at the same time! How
about that?”
“…You…! You’re really asking for death, aren’t you?!” roared Bradley as his eyes instantly flared up with murderous
intent.
In the end, Bradley was someone who placed his worth even higher than his life. With that in mind, despite Gerald
clearly having an immense amount of strength, Bradley was more than determined to break him into pieces after
being humiliated so much by him!
“Once I’ve torn off your head and limbs, I’ll be tossing all of them into the river for the fish to feed on!” growled the
enraged Bradley who now looked so terrifying that everyone present instantly turned pale in fright.
‘You really are just a young kid who doesn’t know what’s good for you! Look at the situation you got yourself in!
Couldn’t you sense how terrifying Bradley already was? Why did you have to provoke him even further? While it’s
true that you’re talented, you should know that Bradley’s already a veteran!’ thought the three masters as they
helplessly watched on.
Myles himself was completely dumbfounded by the turn of events. While he already knew that Gerald was arrogant,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe hadn’t expected him to be this arrogant! Was he really going to attempt to fight all three of them at once…?
Before Myles could wonder any further, he saw Gerald straightening his body before casually replying, “Oh? Is that
so?”
Following that, Gerald suddenly outstretched his right hand before clenching and turning it ever so slightly… It gave
the impression as though he had caught the wind… As everyone wondered what he was trying to do, Gerald then
retracted his hand toward his chest before seemingly tossing an invisible knife toward Bradley…
Only rather than just being mere mimicry of tossing a knife, everyone stared wide-eyed as a white light shot out
from his palm! As if that wasn’t already shocking enough, the crowd watched in astonishment as the ground split
slightly apart as the orb of light continued flying toward Bradley!
In the light’s path, however, was a rather large boulder. Everyone now curious to know what would happen to the
light upon collision, their question was quickly answered when it simply shot through the boulder!
…But wait, it didn’t just shoot through… A split second later, the boulder split into two clean halves, with both sides
cut so clean that they gleamed like the surface of a mirror! Expensive-looking tiles cracking apart as the light
surged on, it finally stopped moving the second it arrived inches away from Bradley’s face.
As Bradley stood paralyzed in his utter shock, the others found themselves too dumbfounded to even make a sound
as well.
Everyone now looking at the deep gash on the earth that Gerald had caused, the entirety of King Valley became
momentarily enveloped in silence.
