Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1353

“Worry not, as long as you help me capture Gerald, I’ll definitely gain the ability to shuttle back and forth between earth and Jaellatra. With that, I’ll surely be able to turn your family into the most powerful force there without any issues! Besides, you already know about my background, don’t you? Hahaha!

To think that Gerald would accidentally release me back then… This is surely god’s reward to me for remaining locked up for thousands of years!”

Turning around, Yreth looked at the piece of jade—that had previously been placed upright near the incense stand—as a black glow emanated from it. Not long after, the black glow began momentarily swirling in the air before finally forming the silhouette of a phantom-like humanoid!

Upon closer inspection, the phantom appeared to be a young man who had a hooked nose, and a pair of upward-slanting brows that laid above eyes that occasionally glinted evilly. Who would’ve imagined that this phantom-like humanoid—who had supposedly already existed for tens of thousands of years —would still retain the appearance of a young man!

“I’m going to be frank and tell you that I’m already regretting agreeing to collaborate with you in the first place, King of Judgment Portal… Then again, it was never a willing decision for me to work together with your group and get entangled within all this. Truth be told, I have a feeling that that decision is going to end up becoming the eventual cause of our family’s destruction! After all, just as I’ve told Yume, Gerald’s getting way too terrifying too quickly based on his rapid progress alone!” said Yreth, a series of complicated emotions currently reflected in her eyes.

“Despite me risking so much, you—of all people—should know that the situation is much different for you, King of Judgment Portal! After all, you currently just exist as the thought of the soul, and that means that you’re easily able to use the thought of the soul to control several people at the same time, not unlike your personal puppets! I, myself, am one of your puppets… Regardless, even if everything fails, you can simply continue to exist and eventually find another way to return to Jaellatra to continue being the young lord that you are. However, the Gunters aren’t nearly as capable as you are when it comes to retreating! In fact, I have a feeling that even dying with our entire bodies intact will be difficult when the time comes! Do you even grasp how much the Gunters are risking here?” added Yreth.

“Hahaha! You’re simply overthinking things! I have a feeling you’re only this terrified since I told you a bit too much about Gerald’s true identity… Truth be told, Gerald’s far from frightening at the moment.

After all, in my eyes, he’s currently nothing more than an ant! Regardless, I trust you know that there’s no turning back for you anymore. Gerald already knows who you are, after all. With that in mind, all we can do now is continue going according to plan!”

“Besides, you were the one who lusted for longevity! Upon finding out about that, I simply promised to bring you and your family over to Jaellatra—where you’d even have your very own place there—in exchange for making a few sacrifices… Think about it, once you’re there, you’ll be able to continue staying alive for at least another thousand years… Isn’t that alone worth any amount of sacrifices…?”

added the King of Judgment Portal with a laugh.

“It’s honestly the only reason why I haven’t backed down yet at this point! Worry not, for I’ve already made up my mind that I’ll personally step up and capture him when it is necessary for me to do so!”

retorted Yreth, her voice now both cold and gloomy.

“I’m glad to hear it! You know, it was the Herculean Primordial Spirit’s eighth reincarnation back when Jaellatra was still in turmoil. In order to obtain the Herculean Primordial Spirit, I attempted to break through the gap and come all the way to earth. Little did I know that I had severely underestimated the power of the gap. Upon crossing over, I was immediately struck by lightning, and my entire being was reduced to ashes. Not only that, but the thought of my soul was also trapped by others! Ever since that day, I’ve been far away from my family… With that in mind, if anyone should be anxious, it’s me!”

“I’ll have you know that I’ve been waiting thousands of years for an opportunity like this! That said, your assistance is key for me to get anything done! But whatever the case is, you don’t have to worry too much since everything is still under control!” replied the King of Judgment Portal.

“…Very well. I hope that the day we’ll eventually succeed together will arrive as soon as possible!” said Yreth with a nod.

“…Do you really think that you’ll be able to deal with him…? I’ve already told you many times to cherish your life since you have yet to completely disappear, even after all that you’ve done… Please don’t continue provoking him… You simply aren’t his match… Besides, your conspiracy is destined to fail!”

said an extremely pleasant-sounding voice—that simultaneously sounded like an oriole—out of the blue.

Not only was it refreshing to listen to, but it also gave anyone who heard it a comforting feeling, as though one was being caressed by a soothing spring breeze.

Following that, Yreth turned to look at the woman in white that had just arisen from the eternal coffin…

As beautiful as a fairy, even the King of Judgment Portal found himself momentarily dazed before eventually shouting, “So you’re finally willing to show yourself!”

“Don’t get too excited. I only came out to warn both of you. From what I can see, the reason why both of you lack any grudges and grievances is because you’re only motivated by greed! This is your conflict and the only way it’ll possibly end is in tragedy!” said the woman in white—with her gorgeous red lips—

as she sighed.

“Screw you and your disaster! What makes you so sure that both of us won’t be able to deal with Gerald? He’s only one person! Honestly, don’t you think you’re underestimating me a bit too much? I’m the King of Judgment Portal! I assure you that it won’t be long before this person—who’s gained your eternal admiration—ends up kneeling before me, begging me to spare his life and to let him return to simply being the young master that he is! Hahaha!” growled the King of Judgment Portal, hints of anger and jealousy reflected in his eyes.

Just as the woman in white had always been filled with admiration for the deity, the King of Judgment Portal himself had loved the woman in white just as much this entire time. Despite that, he was well aware that she only had the deity in her heart. The deity was her one and only, and the same went vice versa. It was as though to the woman in white, there was no other man on the planet comparable to him. Knowing that, the King of Judgment Portal could only continue burning with jealousy.

Gritting his teeth, he then added, “Regardless, once I obtain the Herculean Primordial Spirit, I’ll be the master then! When that time comes, I’ll surely make you feel heartfelt admiration for me, and by that point, you’ll finally be convinced to be my woman! Worry not, for I’ll make you the top woman in the world!”
