Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1569

Not wanting to die, Frederick and the others could only obey. As they helplessly began drinking up the water in the hot springs, a sinister smile could be seen on Carlos’s face…

Fast forward to early the next morning, several people could already be seen gathered near Yanam’s thousand-year-old dragon tower.

Atop the sturdy, three-hundred-meter-tall building that touched the sky, several people could be seen tied up there… As to be expected, they were Gerald’s family members…

Aside from them, Mila was also there, though she had been tied to a stone pillar instead.

Throughout her time in captivity, Daryl had told Mila everything.

Despite having lost her memories, Mila knew for a fact that someone had been painstakingly searching for her in the past few years… With that in mind, she was eager to see whether Daryl’s opponent truly was the person whom her heart had so desperately been trying to remember this entire time…

As for Dylan, though he was a very dignified man, he was now looking at Darly as he begged, “You’ve set so many traps for Gerald… Gerald doesn’t even have any grudges against you…! Why must this end with Gerald dying?!”

“It’s useless to try persuading me out of it… It’s just his luck that destiny chose him to have such great value! If you’re going to be blaming anyone for his death then blame it on fate!” replied Daryl as he shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

Hearing that, Mila angrily retorted, “I hope you haven’t forgotten that there are many other more powerful people keeping an eye on you, Daryl! Though I may not remember what happened between Gerald and I, nor do I know what you truly want from him, I can say for certain that you aren’t going to be getting anything out of all this!”

“I’m afraid you’re all wrong! After eliminating Gerald today, do you think I’ll still need to fear Jaellatra?”

replied Daryl as he let out a booming laugh.

At that moment, his gaze suddenly turned frigid as he looked down…

Scorn reflected in his eyes, the old man then sneered, “Speak of the devil… Looks like he’s here!”

Daryl already knew how ungodly Gerald’s strength truly was from their last encounter, and he would honestly be much more fearful without the presence of the now fully-prepared great dragon extermination spell…

A brief moment later, Gerald arrived at the top. Staring at Daryl who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, Gerald couldn’t help but sneer, “You’re on time!”

He was finally going to fight to the death against this once respectable old man… Truth be told, Gerald was still finding all this slightly strange.

Slowly opening his eyes, Daryl then looked at Gerald before replying, “I’ve already lost a great deal of my qi after our momentary battle yesterday, Gerald! With that said, I’m going to be fighting with a handicap! Even so, I believe that today’s battle will still be a great one!”

Though his eyes looked completely soulless, they somehow still managed to glint frigidly as the old man added in a spine-tingling voice, “However, don’t think you’ll be able to do as you please just because you’re a little stronger than me now! As I’ve said before, the world is a huge place, and there will always be things that you haven’t seen! Regardless, I’m going to be making a bet with you now.

Essentially, if I manage to kill you today, not only will I be taking the lives of all your family members, but I’ll also be killing the rest of the people from the Sacrasolis Palace! However, I’m also leaving you the option of killing yourself before me now! With that, I’ll at least spare the lives of the people from the Sacrasolis Palace!”

“Oh? A bet you say? Before that, allow me to remind you that we’re having this battle in the first place to resolve our grudges. Also, I’m sure you’re much better prepared today since you weren’t able to obtain a thing from me yesterday. Moving back to the bet, are you saying you want me to bet the lives of my family members and all those from the Sacrasolis Place when you clearly have tricks planned up your sleeves? I believe that it’s only fair if you suffer an equivalent loss should I win instead, no? With that said, once I end your life, I’ll be ending the lives of all the cultivating Crawfords as well. Deal?”

Upon hearing that, a hint of unease was momentarily reflected in Daryl’s eyes. However, the old man quickly recovered before coldly shouting, “I agree! With that out of the way, show me how truly powerful you are today!”

The second his sentence ended, Daryl appeared to concentrate hard for a second… and the next thing anyone knew, a bright flash could be seen! Recovering from the sudden brightness, everyone stared wide-eyed at the long, black staff that was now in Daryl’s right hand…

Pointing the staff at Gerald—as though it was a magic wand—everyone watched as it momentarily became a blur… and extended to about twenty meters away from Daryl!

With the elongated staff now rapidly rushing toward Gerald, everyone knew that the great battle was finally commencing!
