The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1399 Shortly after, even that image disappeared, and it was then when the Mackusionâs glow slowly retracted before eventually falling back into Geraldâs palm.
ââ¦Miss Lockland, have you any idea what the Mackusion was trying to reveal based on what it showed us earlier? Could something terrible have befallen those who participated in the pledge of the holy waterâ¦?â asked Gerald rather anxiously.
âI have a feeling that seems to be the case⦠Regardless, not only did the Mackusion reveal that the journey of the participants of the pledge of the holy water was anything but smooth, it also displayed Liemisâs tomb as well as your familyâs manor. From what I can assume, itâs predicting that the two places arenât at peace and something is very likely going to happen soon!â replied Zyla.
ââ¦What? Then thereâs no time to waste! Letâs head over to those places to investigate immediatelyâ
said the shocked Gerald immediately.
âIndeed! Speaking of which, now that you have the Mackusion on hand, do take proper care of it, Gerald. Remember, itâll help you heal your Dehlere Foundation! With that in mind, please start relying on it whenever you come face to face with strong enemies, even if you think youâre able to go against them without the Mackusionâs help!â replied Zyla in concern.
âDonât worry, I already understand that, Zyla. Whatever the case is, the important thing now is for us to head to Liemisâs tomb as well as the Crawford Manor. Aside from that, I also wish to head to where the pledge of the holy water is being held to look for my grandpa. Though I tried as best as I could to locate him on the screen earlier, I wasnât able to find his corpse at all! That means he could still be alive!â said Gerald with a slight frown.
Nodding in response, Zyla then replied, âIndeed. Letâs head off then!â
Though there was no time to linger there for long, Gerald was well aware that there were still a few divine artifacts in there that he had yet to properly investigate. With that in mind, he was prepared to seal the miracle with a formationâonce they got outâso that he could have a better look at those artifacts in the future.
Nearing the tombâs entrance, Gerald saw that night had fallen outside. Just as they were about to step out, however, Gerald suddenly paused before saying, âSpeaking of which⦠Those from the Xanthos family had placed an extremely strong poison right outside the cave while all of you were insideâ¦
While Iâve used a formation to isolate it, you probably wonât be able to resist such potent poisonâ¦â
Following that, he gently tapped Rosieâs, Jasmineâs, and Monicaâs shoulders, effectively sealing their acupuncture points.
With that done, he then safely led them out of the cave.
As was expected, those from the Xanthos family had been lying in wait for them not too far from the mouth of the cave. There were over a hundred of them, and all of them were armed with guns.
Even so, Wesson clearly wasnât expecting them to leave the cave in one piece, and this was made evident by how shocked he looked.
ââ¦You⦠How could you still be aliveâ¦?â muttered Wesson.
Watching as Wesson then took a step back, a gloomy-looking youth donning black clothesâwho had been standing at the side this entire timeâfound his eyelids twitching slightly in his surprise.
ââ¦So you actually managed to walk out of that place alive, even after being poisoned by the Seven Monsters from Snow Mountain⦠How interestingâ¦! It seems that Mr. Xanthos wasnât kidding when he said that thereâs more to you people than meets the eye! With that in mind, I guess youâve earned the right to die by my hands!â declared the youth as he squinted his eyes slightly.
Shaking her head in resignation, Zyla simply replied, âDo you really think you can kill usâ¦?â
âThereâs no need to waste your energy trying to talk with these people, Zyla⦠Iâve already gotten used to their cockiness by this point⦠Regardless, while Iâve never heard of the Seven Monsters from Snow Mountain before, I do know that your six older siblings were all equally ignorant! Though theyâve all died by my hand, I do acknowledge that it mustnât have been easy for you to get to your current level of training. With that in mind, I hope that you wonât continue doing evil⦠Elsewise, Iâm afraid youâll end up dead soon as well! Youâre still young, so just head back to Snow Mountain to train yourself properly!â
advised Gerald with a bitter smile on his face.
Upon hearing that, Sloan instantly laughed aloud before smiling wickedly as he said, âYouâve gone mad, havenât you? Open your eyes already! Who do you truly think is going to die miserably in this situation?!â
As everyone took aim at Gerald, the youth in black clothes raised his hand slightly.
Narrowing his eyes so much that they almost formed perfectly straight lines, Yvonâthe youth in black âthen said, âDoes that mean youâre admitting to killing my six elder siblingsâ¦?â
âI am, and quite frankly, I could end your life in a second if I wanted to. Please just give up already and let us pass. I still have things to do and I really donât see the need to slaughter all of you! Now leave while you can!â retorted Gerald who really couldnât be bothered about them.
âLeaveâ¦? Hah! I suppose youâve never heard about the immense reputation of the Seven Monsters! Iâll have you know Iâm vastly different from them!â roared Yvon before displaying a malevolent smile that sent chills down the spines of all who saw it.
Monica and the other women even found themselves taking a few steps back in fearâ¦
