Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1697

Continuing to roar as it charged straight for Gerald, the lion then leaped, clearly trying to slam its weight down on the incoming youth!

Naturally, Gerald wasn’t about to grant it that opportunity!

Sliding right under the lion, Gerald expertly struck the beast’s belly with his palm, instantly stunning it and sending the oversized lion flying!

Watching as it soared quite a distance away, Gerald had already summarized that though the lion was massive, it was bogged down by its weight. With that in mind, there was no way it was ever going to be able to match Gerald’s speed.

Regardless, Gerald wasn’t particularly trying to end the lion’s life. On the contrary, he was thinking of taming it. After all, Gerald was certainly not against the idea of having such a large lion under his control.

Moving back to the lion, the second it hit the ground, it ended up rolling a few times before finally coming to a stop. Shaking its body as it crawled back to its feet, it then turned to face Gerald, glaring and growling fiercely at him.

Though it was a beast, it wasn’t stupid. It was well aware that it wasn’t going to be able to take on Gerald, which was why it was refraining from rashly attacking him again.

Seeing that, Gerald then took a few steps forward before pointing at the lion and shouting, “You have two choices. The first is to come along with me and obediently allow me to be your master. If you refuse, the only other choice you have is to get killed, cooked, then eaten! Just so you know, I’ve never tasted lion before, and I’m quite keen on trying! Regardless, state your choice!”

Being a divine beast, the supernatural lion could naturally understand human speech. With that in mind, upon hearing Gerald’s proposal, the lion appeared to calm down a bit, seemingly falling deep into thought…

After a brief moment, the lion emitted a low growl.

“Are you serious? You’d rather get eaten than be under my control? Surely you aren’t stupid enough to believe that you can even come close to defeating me!” taunted Gerald as he snorted contemptuously at the lion’s behavior.

Quite frankly, if he had wanted to end the lion’s life, Gerald could’ve done so extremely easily. Giving the lion a choice to be under him was already Gerald’s way of showing mercy.

Still, if the lion was going to continue being stubborn, Gerald truly saw no reason to keep it alive. He would rather just deal with it decisively.

Either way, in response, the lion simply sassily lay on its belly before turning to look to the side with a grunt, completely refusing to even look at Gerald. How arrogant!

“Aww… Did I piss off the princess?” scoffed Gerald, seeing how childishly the lion was behaving.

All of a sudden, something flew out from Gerald’s direction before landing right in front of the lion! Upon seeing it, the lion instantly whimpered as it got to its feet and lowered its head before the tiny figure…

Of course, the figure in question was none other than the small green dragon!

Now appearing to be much tamer, it was evident that the lion was feeling intimidated by the tiny dragon.

To think that the aggressive beast would be this terrified of a mere baby!
