Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1608
The way Nori had said it, it was almost as though she was afraid that Gerald would end up going back on his word.
Sensing that, Gerald looked at her with determined eyes before saying, âDonât worry, I always keep my word! After all, a person who lies is nothing but a coward!â
Following that, Gerald alternated his gaze between his sister and Nori before adding, âAlright, thereâs still something I need to settle. With that said, Iâm going to have to need both of you to continue waiting for me here for a little while. Donât worry, once I return, weâll leave this place together! Also, remember not to go out all willy-nilly and if needed, you can contact me with the sound talisman. The second itâs activated Iâll rush back immediately!â
ââ¦What? Youâre heading off again, Gerald? But where to?â asked Jessica in a worried tone. After all, to think that they had to part ways again so quickly after reuniting!
âDonât worry, sister! Iâll definitely make a safe return! Just know that there are still some issues I need to resolve!â replied Gerald as he looked straight into Jessicaâs eyes.
Upon hearing that, his sister simply nodded slowly⦠She, for one, knew that there was no use trying to persuade her brother against it. With that in mind, she could only pray that he would return unscathed.
With that, Gerald then made a massive leap before flying back to Bario City at immense speedsâ¦
There was going to be bloodshed tonight, and Gerald was going to make sure that none of the Quartermains would remainâ¦
Meanwhile, the Quartermain family manor was brightly lit, with sheets of white cloth hung everywhere.
Adding that to the many death wreaths placed all over the place, it was clear that the Quartermains were holding a funeral for Yesirn.
Henrick himself was standing before Yesirnâs memorial tablet. After wrapping white strips of cloth over his sonâs corpse, the teary-eyed Henrick then said, âIâve taken revenge for you, son⦠Geraldâs dead now, so you can rest in peaceâ¦!â
Upon hearing that, the rest of the Quartermains present began weeping as well. After all, watching oneâs child die before their very eyes was most definitely one of the saddest things to witnessâ¦
Unbeknownst to them, however, the Quartermains were going to reunite with Yesirn very, very, soon.
At that moment, a booming and rather familiar voice suddenly shouted, âHey now, you old b*stard!
Instead of grieving for him, why donât I just send you to hell so that both of you can get reunited!â
Shocked, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice⦠And there Gerald was, casually standing with his arms crossed atop the Quartermain manorâs roof!
The second Henrick saw the youth, he was instantly hit by immense wrath and shock. Gerald had been hit by the Five Blazing Dragons attack, had he not? How was he still alive?! In fact, how did he even remain so perfectly fine?!
âYou⦠Youâre aliveâ¦?!â growled Henrick as he glared at Gerald.
Snorting contemptuously, Gerald then sneered, âArenât you a bit too confident with yourself, Henrick?
You werenât even able to completely master that attack! With that said, thereâs no way I wouldâve died to that!â
Furrowing his brows, Henrick then gloomily replied, ââ¦How do you even know about that?â
To think that Gerald was aware that he hadnât perfected the Five Blazing Dragons attack⦠But how?
Nobody elseâwho was aliveâshould even know about that!
âThereâs no need to know about that. After all, youâre going to be dead soon anyway. As Iâve promised myself, Iâm exterminating the Quartermains if itâs the last thing I do!â retorted Gerald in a frigid tone.
Hearing that, Henrick simply snorted disdainfully as he yelled, âYou sound rather sure of yourself! If I could defeat you back then what makes you think youâll win this time?! Now stop talking trash and just die already!â
Following that, the Quartermain master leaped toward Gerald, intent on attacking the youth!
Unfortunately for him, Henrick looking down on Gerald was a truly fatal mistakeâ¦
