Chapter 1729
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1729 With the shadowy figure now dead, his men instantly turned to face each other before fleeing the area!
After all, now that their boss was dead, there was no point in them staying there for any longer.
Realizing that there was a token of sorts within the shadowy figureâs ashes, Gerald picked it up to see what was written on itâ¦
The words âGhost Sectâ had been carved intricately onto the token, and Gerald could only raise a slight brow when he saw that. What kind of mysterious organization could the Ghost Sect beâ¦?
His train of thought was cut short when he suddenly heard Nori calling out, âGerald!â
Turning around, he watched as his friends quickly ran toward him.
Stopping right before Gerald, Nori then asked in a concerned tone, âAre you alright, Gerald? Are you hurt anywhere?â
Smiling in response, Gerald simply said, âDonât worry, Iâm fine!â
Upon hearing that, Nori and the others were instantly relieved. To them, as long as Gerald was fine, all was well in the worldâ¦
Now that things had calmed down, Gerald turned to look at the Titan Sword that was hovering menacingly in the airâ¦
Walking over to it, he then grabbed onto the hilt⦠and the second he did, hot and powerful energy surged right through his palm and into his elixir-of-life field!
With how burning-hot his elixir-of-life field was now feeling, Gerald could tell that all the pain he was currently experiencing was due to the swordâs power!
âG-Gerald? Whatâs wrong?â asked Nori when she saw his pained expression.
âStay back!â yelled Gerald as he quickly sat at the side.
Hearing that, Nori and the others didnât dare go close to him. They could only stare at him from afar, hoping that he would turn out fineâ¦
Regardless, Gerald quickly took out a Heavenâs apple before devouring it. Once that was done, he instantly began meditating.
To his shock, eating the holy fruit didnât lessen the fiery sensation in his body at all. In fact, it only made it more intense!
Yelling in agony, Geraldâs forehead was now drenched in sweat, showing just how much pain the swordâs power was inflicting onto him.
It wasnât long after before Gerald eventually collapsed from the excruciating pain!
Upon seeing that, Nori immediately shouted, âGeraldâ¦!â
As she ran over to check on him, Juno herself quickly ordered her servants to carry him over into a room to rest.
Unbeknownst to the others, the Titan and Fishgut Sword had both morphed into a single beam of light that then entered Geraldâs bodyâ¦
It would take an entire day before Gerald regained consciousness againâ¦
When the dazed youth finally awoke, the first thing he saw was Nori lying by the side of his bed. He couldnât help but think how lovely she looked, even when she was asleepâ¦
Her ears twitching as his bedsheets rustled, Nori woke with a start before looking at Gerald and joyously exclaiming, âG-Gerald! Youâre finally awakeâ¦!â
After Gerald fainted the day before, all his friends had been scared half to death, thinking that something terrible had befallen himâ¦
