Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1091
Concentrating all his energy into a single strike, an explosive sound could be heard as Christopher launched himself
toward Gerald with an attack aimed for the youth’s chest!
Seconds before his attack collided with Gerald, a loud buzzing sound could be heard. It was only when his fist
arrived inches before its target that Christopher realized a split second too late that all his strength had suddenly
been drained by some mysterious force.
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to stop his punch’s momentum in time, Christopher immediately tried to intensify
his force again.
When his fist finally collided with Gerald’s chest, however, he quickly realized that the amount of force he ended up
exerting was only comparable to that of a new-born.
As if that wasn’t perplexing enough, Christopher found himself flying backward, unable to regain control of his
movements! It felt similar to toppling down a steep mountain, and before the old man knew it, he had crashed
harshly onto the ground!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“H-how… How is this even possible?!” groaned Christopher in utter disbelief as he sat feebly on the ground, his eyes
wide open.
The old man was now holding on to his numb left arm that felt close to being broken.
How could this be? It had only been ten days since they last fought!
Back then, Gerald had only been able to make it out alive with the aid of some odd swordplay. Christopher was well
aware that he could’ve killed Gerald back there and then as long as he had been a bit more alert, and he was
certain that Gerald understood that as well.
In short, the only reason Gerald had won the battle was because of his sneak attack.
Knowing that Gerald didn’t have any other tricks up his sleeve, Christopher chose to wait for Gerald to show himself
again. If things had gone according to plan, he would’ve killed the youth once that happened.
Following that, Christopher would tell Daryl that he had his grandson before threatening to kill Gerald should Daryl
refuse to tell him the secret of the ancient tomb. Once he got the information he needed, Christopher would then
toss Gerald’s corpse before Dylan!
The thought of how desperate Daryl would look at that moment brought endless glee to Christopher back when he
was still waiting for Gerald.
It was a simple plan that—if everything had gone smoothly—would’ve resulted in Christopher gaining the secret of
the ancient tomb for his own family.
Truly a simple plan… Yet it had never occurred to him that he would actually be unable to take down Gerald!
“Oh? Did you still have plans to kill me?” asked Gerald, flashing a cold smile.
“It’s… It’s illogical! How could you have gotten this strong in such a short period of time? There’s no way you
could’ve gone through that much training in only ten days!” shouted Christopher in his shock.
“Let’s just say I got lucky!” replied Gerald.
“…What? Could it be the secret of the ancient tomb? Is it truly able to make others this powerful?” said Christopher,
stunned.
Immediately after, however, the old man’s eyes grew fierce as he grabbed a handful of sand before tossing it
directly at Gerald’s face!
Instantly getting to his feet, Christopher then leaped from where he stood, aiming a kick at Gerald’s chest!
The moment his foot hit its mark, another explosive sound could be heard. This time, however, white smoke began
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgushing out from the spot Christopher’s kick had landed, completely enveloping the old man’s body!
Before Christopher could even question what the hell had just happened, the white smoke surrounding him—
somehow—exploded, sending his body flying off into the opposite direction once more! The force itself was akin to
standing before an exploding boiler, and it wasn’t long before Christopher felt his back crash against the mountain’s
stone walls.
As the old man fell to the ground, a large indent was revealed on the spot he had been flung against. Now coughing
blood, Christopher raised his head to look at Gerald, feeling completely stupefied.
“What… What exactly is the secret of the ancient tomb?! By god! How could knowledge of its secret increase
someone’s inner strength and training to such a frightening amount within only ten days?!”
Christopher had no doubts that he had managed to land that kick earlier. To think that Gerald’s inner strength alone
had managed to counter the impact, resulting in the old man getting hurt instead!
In order to achieve such a feat, Gerald’s inner strength needed to surpass Christopher’s. From the old man’s
personal experience just moments ago, he estimated that Gerald’s inner strength had to be at least ten times more
powerful than his own for him to get this hurt.
“If you had only left, I would’ve let it go, you know? Still, since you kill people like flies and you even waited so long
for me here, I guess I truly can’t allow you to continue living!” said Gerald, his cold gaze alone sending chills downs
the old man’s spine.
