Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1441

The darkness quickly spread across the entire private room, deeply scaring all of the other rich heirs to the point of screaming. After all, anyone caught in a similar situation would surely be filled with desperation.

“I-I’m sorry, Gerald…! It’s entirely my fault…!” whimpered Jasmine.

Pulling her to stand behind him, Gerald simply consoled, “It’s fine, just stay behind me!”

Soon enough, the darkness dispersed, leaving three orbs of light in its place… Everyone then watched as lights began increasing in size till they eventually formed human silhouettes.

By the time the lights dimmed down, two men and a woman stood face to face with Gerald.

One of the men gave off a particularly imposing aura, and his entire body was plated with black armor.

The other man, on the other hand, had a tailcoat draped around his slim figure.

As for the sharp-chinned woman who had an extremely graceful-looking figure, a strange charm seemed to exude from every orifice of her body. Adding that to her long, wavy, and red hair, she looked very much like a serpentine demon.

The trio was part of the Judgement Portal, and together, they made up the Squad of Judgement Portal.

Gerald had already met one of them before this, that being the burly man with black armor on… It was Hogan, the person who had almost ended Gerald’s life back then!

Even to the King of Judgment Portal, all three of them were considered to be quite powerful and capable people. With that said, knowing that he was able to rely on the extraordinarily talented trio was the reason why Quigley—Mr. Sime—had been so confident earlier.

What more, he was positive that Gerald would have no escape from this perfect trap that both the Gunters and those from the Judgement Portal had set up to deal with Gerald.

Laughing mockingly, Quigley then sneered, “Well, Gerald? What do you think? I’m sure you’ve guessed that with my three friends here, things are going to end rather simply, but also extremely violently for you! Heh, even sprouting wings to escape won’t save you now!”

Murderous intent reflected in his eyes, Quigley then added, “You know, once you’re out of the picture, the Simes will be able to legitimately inherit all your family’s wealth and assets! That’s over half of the world’s wealth! Hahaha! I really don’t know how to thank you enough, Gerald! After all, in a way, everything the Crawfords have done up till this point has been for the Sime family’s sake! Heh. I’m guessing you’re in a bad mood now, right? Though with how smug I’m being, of course you’d be annoyed!”

As Quigley sneered again before lighting a cigarette—his legs still crossed—, Gerald simply smiled calmly before replying, “On the contrary, I’m rather elated now that all three of them are here!”

“…Oh? Could you already have gone mad with fright? Do share why you’re feeling so happy!” asked Quigley as he returned a smile.

“Well, let’s just say I have a grudge against one of these three people… I had initially been wondering how I’d be able to get my revenge, but lo and behold! Here he is, standing right before me! You truly saved me a lot of time and effort to find you!” replied Gerald as he pointed at Hogan.

‘You broke all my tendons, causing me to suffer terribly… Now that you’re standing before me…’

Gerald thought to himself, fully ready to have his revenge.

“Heh, he’s talking about you, Hogan!” said the sole woman of the trip as she stuck her tongue out before turning to look at the big man.

“He’s just a small fry! I’ve already ruined him once, and I have no problem with doing it again! Since the master instructed us to keep him alive, I’ll just make sure he’s constantly just a few breaths away from dying!” declared Hogan coldly as he slowly raised his palms…

Within seconds, his iron palms darkened, and by the end of the transformation, they looked similar to steel forks!

Turning to look at Quigley, Hogan then said, “You’ve truly made a great contribution this time around, Young Master Sime! I’m sure the master will reward you greatly!”

Hearing that, Quigley simply smiled before excitedly replying, “That’s for sure! Also, after the Simes inherit all the Crawford family’s properties, I promise that each of you will be able to enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world!”

Laughing aloud, the serpent-like demoness of a woman then smiled before saying, “I’d like a lot of men then, Young Master Sime!”

“Not a problem! I’ll be sure to satisfy every one of your wishes!” said Quigley as he burst out laughing.

Watching as the group chatted among themselves, Gerald simply shook his head with a bitter smile on his face before saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m still here you know? Not only did you fail to greet me, but to think that you’re even discussing how to share my family’s properties among yourselves, right in my face!”

“Haha! You don’t seem to understand how dire your situation truly is at the moment, Gerald! Just to remind you, you’ve fallen into my trap, and I’m more than willing to take responsibility for ordering the trio to kill you! I guess it’s just fate! While your martial art skills are greater than mine, in the end, I still come up on top due to my intelligence!” retorted Quigley with a smug smile.
