Chapter 1716
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1716 They all quickly scanned the area once they were over the wall.
Gerald and his party snuck past the unionâs main hall before heading straight for the dungeon after confirming that all the unionâs men were still distracted by the fireâ¦
Gerald and the other two peered around the corner that would lead to the dungeon to see if anyone was guarding the entrance. Thankfully, there appeared to be only two guards stationed there.
With that in mind, Gerald retrieved his Astrabyss Sword and unsheathed it after making sure they hadnât been noticed yetâ¦
Gerald then dashed towards one of the guards and expertly slashed his throat!
Blood gushed out of the guardâs now exposed throat almost as soon as he could react⦠He flopped to the ground, dead, in an instant.
When the other man realised his companion was no longer alive, he immediately drew his own sword and attempted to decapitate Gerald!
Gerald, of course, was able to easily avoid the attack. He then kicked the manâs sword away before kicking him in the stomach with another kick!
As the man clutched his now aching stomach, Gerald pounced on the opportunity to punch him in the head, effectively killing himâ¦
Itâs no surprise, given Geraldâs speed and skill, that he was able to finish both of them off so quicklyâ¦
Regardless, Gerald slashed the dungeonâs chains with his sword as soon as they were dealt withâ¦
The heavy âclunkâ of chains could be heard seconds later as the chains fell to the ground.
Slicing through chains like these was a piece of cake for the Astrabyss Sword, thanks to its razor-sharp edge.
In any case, now that the entrance was no longer locked, Gerald opened the dungeonâs doors to search for his friendsâ¦
A enraged Tiger could be seen bursting into the hall with several men behind him shortly after. He knew their hostages had been saved as soon as he saw the two dead guards.
He dashed outside just in time to see Gerald and his friends escaping by climbing over their baseâs wall!
âThat⦠That god d*mned kid was successful in rescuing his pals! Iâm going after him! Tiger yelled, âHurry!â as he and his men dashed for Gerald.
âI want you two to lead Cyril and Zelig away from this place,â Gerald, who had heard Tigerâs furious shout, quickly turned to look at Ray and Nori after they were all over the baseâs wall.
While youâre doing that, Iâll be distracting them!â
âHowever, what about you-â
âCut the nonsense and get a move on!â Otherwise, none of us will make it out of here alive!â retorted Gerald, anticipating Noriâs response.
Nori and Ray could only agree silently when they heard that, and they did as he said.
Gerald began running in the opposite direction as soon as they were out of sight. If it came down to it, heâd try to entice the unionâs men away from his friendsâ¦
Tiger and his men were able to spot him as he bolted off into the distance, just as he had hopedâ¦
