Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2033
However, it was dark outside, seeming as if nothing strange was going on.
Still, Gerald felt that something was off. He grabbed his jacket, pushed open the door, and walked out to the end of the corridor. Then, he went through the window and climbed to the roof.
Two men were crouching on the rooftop.
âWhat are you looking at?â Seeing them, Gerald smiled and asked.
Gerald didnât even have to think to know that these people had been sent by Daryl, and they were stronger than the previous four. âMove!â Hearing the sound behind them, Arnold drew out the knife from his waist without hesitation. The knife exuded a cold aura under the moonlight.
He leaped forward like a black panther and charged toward Gerald.
Sawyer, who was beside him, did not hesitate, and he attacked from the other direction. He ran to Gerald from the side. When the two attacked in formation, anyone who was equally or less strong than them would be unable to resist.
âYou really donât find it bothersome.â The moment Gerald saw the knives and their actions, he immediately took up a fighting stance.
Almost instantly, the three got entangled with each other. Gerald dodged the attack constantly. As he resisted their attack, he was still able to counter-attack. However, Gerald did not dare to kill the people from the Crawford family as it might affect his parentsâ safety.
Besides, Gerald knew that they were sent by Daryl just to test his strength and would not truly harm him.
Snap!
Gerald snatched the knife from one of them sideways. Then, he stretched out his hand and slapped his back.
The strong force nearly made the man lose his footing. He stumbled backward and fell from the rooftop. Falling from the second floor was not dangerous at all to the cultivators.
Thus, Gerald knocked the other person down with another slap. Then, he leaped onto the ground.
Before the man could stand up, Gerald gave him another kick.
âCough!â
Arnold couldnât react at all. When he tried to resist, he already felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and took a few steps backward, holding onto the wooden pillar to stabilize himself.
âArnold, are you alright?!â Sawyer leaped down after Gerald. When he saw this, he asked hurriedly.
âIâm fine. Do it quickly! Donât hesitate!â Arnold shouted, holding his chest and panting heavily.
They had wanted to take advantage of the night to assassinate Gerald, but they never expected that they would be discovered. If they drew the attention of others, even if they could kill Gerald, the people on the island would see them and spread the news to Yearning Island.
âYou rest first. Iâll deal with him!â Sawyer held the knife in a reversed grip and glared at Gerald fiercely.
As soon as he said that, he rushed forward and brandished the knife in his hand.
Gerald turned around immediately, hit his arm with one hand, and punched him on his chest with another hand.
Sawyer counter-attacked immediately. He stabbed hard at Geraldâs chest with the short knife in his left hand. Seeing the knife, the smile on Geraldâs face disappeared immediately. He realized that the person in front of him was trying to kill him, unlike the four men Daryl had sent to test his strength earlier.
âYou want to kill me?â Gerald gripped the manâs wrist immediately and asked indifferently, looking at the knife.
âArnold, donât just stand there! Come and help me!â Sawyer didnât expect that Gerald could overcome his attack and grab him, so he shouted hurriedly.
