The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1342
âChance? Whatever could you be talking about?â asked Gerald as he looked at Feltonâwho was still lying on the groundâbefore clapping his hands.
âWell, if you let me off today, Iâll tell my grandmother not to come over and make things difficult for those living in this shantytown! If you donât, well⦠My grandmother will surely cause a bloodbath to happen here!â replied Felton.
âIâm not sure what delusions youâre having, but I only told Leo not to kill you immediately since letting you die like this would surely minimize your grandmotherâs suffering! Now that would be a true pity!â
sneered Gerald with a smile.
The second he saw Geraldâs menacing smile, Felton felt as if his entire bodyâand possibly even his spiritâfroze.
Seconds later, he stammered, ââ¦W-what exactly do you mean by thatâ¦?â
âBelieve me when I say that Iâve been wondering how to deal with you throughout my journey here. In the end, Iâve concluded that youâre still slightly useful to me. With that in mind, I canât just allow you to die so easily! Whatever the case is, go clean up the scene first, Leo! You can leave this kid to me!â
ordered Gerald as Leo immediately began properly disposing of the many fresh corpses.
Gerald, on the other hand, went ahead and retrieved the Dead Annie from Feltonâs hand. Unlike the previous instances of the flower, however, this one looked like it was made out of pure gold.
âWhat exactly is this, Mr. Gunter?â asked Gerald.
âItâs the Dead Annie Mother!â replied Felton while glaring at Gerald. Though he was angry, he no longer exuded the arrogant and domineering attitude that he earlier had.
âHumph! You wanted to kill me earlier, didnât you, you b*stard? Iâll be killing you instead now!â shouted Monica out of the blue as she walked up to Felton before slapping him hard on his cheek!
Eyes widened in shock, Felton glared daggers at Monica, immense murderous intent in his eyes as he roared, âYou⦠You b*tch! You must truly be tired of living! Donât you know that I hate being slapped in the face the most?!â
Though his rage was clear as day, since Leo had severed several of Feltonâs meridians earlier, Felton couldnât even gather the strength to get to his feet!
As he continued struggling to get up, Gerald squatted by his side before slapping him on his other cheek!
Turning to glare daggers at Gerald next, he was immediately greeted by many more severe slaps!
By the time Gerald eventually gave him room to breathe, Felton found himself gritting his teeth in seething rage as he said, ââ¦Could you guys truly be unafraid of death? Iâll be sure to have my grandmother kill all of you if itâs the last thing I do!â
Even when he was young, nobody had ever dared to treat him this way! To think that these people were actually slapping him so much despite knowing which family he belonged to!
âI implore you to wake up, Mr. Gunter. If you havenât already noticed, youâre already in my hands now.
Do you really think youâll be able to stay alive long enough for you to ever talk to your grandmother again? Speaking of that old woman, Iâm not letting her off either!â replied Gerald as he lifted Felton off the ground before tugging him toward the middle-aged manâs yard.
Once they were there, he dropped Felton to the ground before kicking Felton a few feet away!
Following that, Gerald began filling three bowls with water before slowly swirling the fresh liquid in each of them.
Confused, Monicaâwho had been following him closely this entire timeâasked, ââ¦What are you doing, Geraldâ¦?â
âAh, Iâm brewing a sort of poison! Itâs known as inexorable witchcraft!â
ââ¦And it involves water?â
âNot entirely, but its effects will be doubled with water!â
Hearing that, Feltonâwho still had a cold gaze in his eyes though traces of fear could also be seen reflected in them nowâthen asked, ââ¦Inexorable witchcraft? â¦What exactly does it do?â
âIâm glad you asked! You see, among all the secret techniques, this is one of the most vicious kinds of witchcraft! Once it starts, your entire body will begin itching. Eventually, the itch will get so bad that youâll begin scratching yourself, but donât think itâll end after that. Oh no, youâll continue scratching and scratching till all your skin peels off, and eventually, youâll scratch yourself to death!â explained Gerald.
Widening his eyes even more, Felton then warned, âY-you b*stard! I dare youâ¦! You wonât do it! â¦I-I can tell that youâre bluffingâ¦!â
Ignoring him, Gerald simply continued finishing up the poison. Once he was done, he squatted right next to Feltonâs limp body before tilting the brew of inexorable witchcraft dangerously close to himâ¦
Realizing that Gerald was dead serious, Felton quickly began begging, ââ¦P-please, I was wrong, Mr.
Crawfordâ¦! Iâm the one at fault here, so please, please donât do it, Mr. Crawfordâ¦! Understand that I only came here to capture you under grandmaâs ordersâ¦! Hell, sheâs not even the puppet master of all this! With that in mind, you shouldnât be bearing your grudges against her! Regardless, again, I emphasize the fact that I was forced to do this! Y-you said I was going to be of great use to you earlier, right? Let me prove my worth to that statement! I wonât fail you, I swear!â
âOh? Is that so? Well, why donât you tell me a bit more about this Dead Annie Mother, then?â
âG-grandma told me that since regular Dead Annies can already be used to suppress and restrain your functional yin energy, the Dead Annie Mother would have allowed me to subdue you with nearly no effort at all! Itâs also the Gunter familyâs most prized possession, but anyway, why donât we negotiate this out? If you promise not to use that poison on me, then Iâll teach you how to utilize the Dead Annie secret technique, and that includes how to use the Dead Annie Mother! With that in mind, please, please spare my lifeâ¦! What do you say to thatâ¦?â asked Felton as he gulped.
