Chapter 1448

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1448 “…Gerald…!” growled Yreth, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at him in shock.

‘How… How is this even possible…?! To think I’d actually be unable to take him on!’ Yreth thought to herself in her sheer disbelief.

“I heard you’ve been waiting for me to show myself, Yreth! Well, here I am!” replied Gerald.

“So you’ve grown stronger, have you, Gerald… That’s good…! That’s more than enough proof to show how frightening the power in your body is…!” added Yreth as she laughed out loud despite still seething with rage.

“Be careful of the bead in her hand, Gerald! That’s a formation!” shouted Peter just as Yreth began activating it!

With immense speed and precision, Yreth quickly tossed the formation toward the space above Gerald while shouting, “Now hurry up and get captured without putting up a fight!”

Now right above Gerald, the formation quickly began expanding, and the sight of it immediately caused the excited Yreth’s expression to turn twisted and hideous!

However, her excitement instantly plummeted the second she saw the formation retracting… and a split second later, there was a brief flash before the formation disappeared entirely!

“…W-what…?” muttered Yreth who was now beading trails of sweat off her forehead.

Following that, Gerald’s body momentarily disappeared… and the next thing anyone knew, he was now standing before Yreth!

Looking at the stunned woman, he momentarily frowned before asking with a subtle smile, “Now what could that have been… Was it made to kill people…? Or was it perhaps just some toddler’s toy…?

Whatever the case is, how disappointing!”

“D-disappointing…? The hell are you being disappointed for…?!” replied Yreth as she took a few steps back.

The Gerald before her now… He was utterly terrifying…!

“Well, I was kind of expecting your grand scheme to be a bit more… major, you know? A bit more climactic, at the very least? After all, you did go through so much just to set me up… How couldn’t I be disappointed when your trump card is nothing by this toy? I was feeling hopeful too, thinking that you’d at least put up a fight after shouting for me to be captured so confidently! While that could’ve been a side dish, serving that bead as your main dish? That’s just sad…” said Gerald.

Her face now reddened with wrath after hearing Gerald’s humiliating words, Yreth instantly retorted, “You… You’d best not get too conceited…!”

Still, it truly hadn’t occurred to her that Gerald would get this strong this quickly…! Slipping a smoke bomb out from her sleeve and into her hand, Yreth then added, “While you may be a great force now, know that you aren’t too far from the day you’ll finally be killed! Regardless, you’ve got me! Just kill me if you want to!”

Yreth was rather confident that with the aid of the smoke bomb, she would be able to make her escape.

The next time the two clashed again, she would definitely take him down…!

Just as her train of thought ended, she suddenly felt an acute pain in her chest! Looking down, she realized that a beam of light had just pierced through her heart…!

Seeing that, the quivering old woman then slowly looked up… and saw that Gerald had doomed her by simply pointing his finger at her!

Vomiting blood as she collapsed to the ground, her eyes were fully widened in her utter bewilderment and disbelief!

‘Shouldn’t he have asked me when his dying day would be…?! Following that, I should have gotten the chance to detain him! Once that was done, we would’ve simply needed to wait for the King of Judgment Portal to come over…! By that point, Gerald capture would’ve been in the bag for sure! To think that… That he’d make a move the second my statement ended…! I… I’m dying…’ Thought the aggrieved Yreth to herself.

If only she had known that all this would happen, she wouldn’t have beaten around the bush… But it was far too late for regrets now, and soon enough, Yreth drew her final breath.

Upon seeing that, the rest of the Gunters were instantly overwhelmed with fright, and all of them instantly began kneeling as they pleaded, “P-please spare our lives, Mr. Crawford…! We were only following her orders! I-if you let us live, we can tell you something important…!”

Naturally, begging him for mercy was only a front. The important thing was for them to survive! Though none of them liked the idea of begging him for their lives, they needed to ensure that at least one of them remained to take their eventual revenge on Gerald…!

To their utter shock, Gerald simply casually replied, “I’m not interested in any of that. You’ll all still be dying today!”
