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

death.

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,

he 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.
