The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1273
Whatever the case was, Chester didnât care anymore. As his last resort, he raised his arm to attempt to counterattack Tiaraâs finishing blow!
âYouâre overestimating your abilities too much, boy!â sneered Tiara as she instantly began doubling the power of her blow! She was determined to cut off all the meridians in Chesterâs body once and for all!
As both their fists met, an explosive sound was heard!
While Chester barely moved an inch from the impact, it was a whole other story for Tiara.
The old woman instantly found herself flying backward, breaking dozens of thick-trunked trees as her body collided into them! It was as though she had just been struck by a powerful tornado, and the impact of all those collisions made her body feel like it was falling apart! After leaving a trail of blood on the groundâthat she spurted from all the damage she had sustainedâshe finally lost enough momentum for a tree to stop her from going any further!
By that point, all four of her limbs were bloodied and she had a feeling that most of her internal organs were heavily damaged. Slowly raising her head to look at Chester in both horror and disbelief, she then muttered, ââ¦H-how⦠How is this even possibleâ¦?!â
As Tiara spurted out even more blood, the eight menâwho had been watching excitedly with their arms crossed this entire timeâhad their eyes widened in shock by what they had just witnessed.
Chester himself hadnât expected to have so much power in a single punch.
ââ¦No, that wasnât from me! That wasnât my own power!â
Having already sustained several terrible injuries, Chester slowly turned to look behind himâ¦
And there Gerald was. Chester didnât even know when Gerald had gotten behind him, but he did know that Gerald was now looking and feeling extremely strangeâ¦
For one, Geraldâs skin appeared to have undergone a major change, now looking pearly white. Even weirder was the fact that Geraldâs hair had turned a purplish-black shade! As if that wasnât already odd enough, a faint purple mist seemed to be surrounding him!
From what Chester could understand, there seemed to be some sort of invisible pressure that was forcing the purple mist to envelop Geraldâs body while also preventing the mist from dissipatingâ¦
Trembling all over, Chester felt as though a heavy load had been lifted off his shoulders as he stuttered, âM-Mr. Crawfordâ¦!â
âIt seems that Iâve almost gotten you into dire trouble again, Chester! You should withdraw for now! Iâll help heal your injuries later!â said Gerald casually.
âHave⦠Have you successfully completed the baptism of heaven?â asked Chester excitedly with a nod.
âIndeed I have!â replied Gerald with a slight smile.
Now that Geraldâs inner strength had undergone the baptism of heaven with the aid of the Zircobsite stone, he was able to fully control his functional yin energy. With that in mind, Gerald knew that he no longer had to worry or be afraid that he wouldnât be able to fight back against Queena, Tiara, or any other person with a strong yin physique for that matter.
âG-Gerald?! How⦠How the hell did you become so strong?! I know, itâs the jade pendant, isnât it? Itâs giving you all that strength!â shouted Tiara in terror, her entire face bloodied.
âHah! I knew that jade pendant was no ordinary item! Once we capture Gerald and steal that pendant from him, weâre going to get filthy rich!â said one of the eight men.
Momentarily blinded by greed, all eight of them didnât seem to take any of Geraldâs changes into account at all. In fact, they were each extremely confident that they were going to be able to easily acquire Geraldâs pendant! After all, if Gerald couldnât hurt them before this, why would he be able to do so now?
âCome and get it if you want it, then!â shouted Gerald with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing that, one of the men instantly waved a hand, prompting the rest of his group to dash toward Gerald like a bunch of mad dogs!
However, Gerald was much faster now. In the blink of an eye, he used his functional yin energy to break seven of the eight menâs necks!
ââ¦W-whatâ¦?!â stuttered the last man standing as he looked at his dead comrades. None of them had even been able to reach him for this to happen!
Hyperventilating for a moment, the shocked man quickly pulled himself together before thinking, âI⦠I canât go against him or Iâll die!â
Just as he turned his body around to run, he suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling him into the air!
Unable to resist at all, the man felt as all the meridians in his body were swallowed up by some terrible force!
It wasnât long after when he was dropped from high above, and his body hit the ground with a heavy âthudâ!
