Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1356

With that in mind, Gerald truly felt like laughing at their attempt at capturing him.

“Humph! Boasting even when you’re about to die? How shameless! I hope you realize that I only lost that day since I was careless! Regardless, from the moment I lost, I knew that I’d never be able to forget how humiliating that moment was for the rest of my life! Knowing that, I swore that I’d kill you sooner or later to reclaim my glory, and now, you’re finally in my grasp!” declared Fernando before coughing slightly. From that, it was a clear sign that his injuries—that Gerald had inflicted upon him back then—hadn’t even properly healed yet.

“He’s right! We need to settle this resentment between us, once and for all! I definitely won’t be letting you off that easily this time!” scoffed Matilda before laughing maliciously.

In response, however, Gerald simply shook his head before saying, “What a pity…”

Narrowing his eyes, Fernando then asked, “…What did you mean by that? And why are you shaking your head? While I’m well aware that to you, I’m just some nobody—who you defeated—whose currently using dirty tactics that further plummets what little respect you had for me in the first place, I can assure you that not only am I talented in martial arts, but I was already a genius by the age of six!

Can you imagine that? Even at that age, my intelligence had already surpassed a majority of ordinary people! With that in mind, you’d eventually get defeated by me anyway, even if I hadn’t resorted to this tactic! I’ll have you know that I have hundreds of ways to kill you!”

“…Oh? You were a genius from the age of six? Color me surprised! And here I was thinking that you were as dumb as a rock!” replied Gerald with a laugh.

Upon hearing that, Fernando instantly began seething with rage, and he was extremely tempted to walk up to Gerald and give him a few tight slaps, just to teach him a lesson!

Before he could do so, however, Gerald then added, “Look, I’ll forget about all this and let you live if you release my friends and their family members. After all, I don’t really think there’s deep resentment between us in the first place. Just so you know, I’ve sworn to only kill those who hurt my friends. With that in mind, since you haven’t done a thing to them, I’m still willing to spare you!”

“Also, just as you’ve said, I can’t deny that you’re talented, and I can assure you that if you train yourself properly in the future, you’ll surely have good prospects in the martial arts field. As for Miss Sime, you’re undoubtedly unruly and immensely annoying. It’d do you good to learn to be a little nicer and more prudent in order to get yourself good in-laws in the future. Regardless, what I’m saying is that not only do you not have to die here, but you also won’t have to die for the Gunters!” added Gerald with a sigh.

The second his sentence ended, several of the bodyguards instantly began cackling wildly.

“Haha! Has this guy gone mad already?”

“I know right? Despite there being so many guns aimed at him now—that could easily blow his brains out—to think that he’s still daring enough to ‘consider letting us go’!”

As the guards continued roaring in laughter while looking at Gerald as though he was some mad person, Fernando himself began laughing before saying, “And here I thought you were a smart man, Gerald! To think that despite your exceptional martial arts skills, you’re merely an idiot! Take a good, long look around you already! You’re already under my control with so many of my subordinates aiming their guns at you! Have you truly gone mad?! Also… You said that you’d only kill those who dared to harm your friends, right…?”

Following that, Fernando retrieved a dagger from his belt, and with a swift slash, he left a cut mark on Suri’s face!

Laughing as he watched Suri—who now had blood slowly dripping down her cheek—scream, Fernando then shook his head before turning to look at Gerald again before saying with a smile on his face, “Hah! Is this considered an injury? Are you dying to kill me now? Or perhaps I should go a little further? Come on, kill me already!”

“How idiotic… I’ve already given you two chances, you know? Even so, you still wanted to walk down this path so badly… Speaking of which, I was honestly slightly doubtful at the beginning on whether or not both of you actually thought that these guns were enough to deal with me. As it turns out, you’ve really been thinking that that’s the case! Your stupidity truly is endless!” replied Gerald before raising a hand and waving it.

Following that, a clamor was heard as over twenty guns flew into the sky in unison! Too stunned to even register how all this was happening, everyone simply continued staring wide-eyed as the guns began falling to the ground again! As if that wasn’t already shocking enough, everyone eventually realized that upon hitting the ground, the guns had rearranged themselves to form the number four!

“…What?”

After witnessing that scene—that had happened in the blink of an eye—everyone was now paralyzed in shock. Even the smile on Fernando’s face had faded…
