    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1006


    “What’s wrong with you, Kaleb?”


    “…H-how…?” muttered Kaleb as he looked at both of his hands, evidently still stupefied.


    “Exin yourself, Kaleb. What do you mean, ‘how’?”


    “I-I used my inner strength earlier when I was grabbing on to that youth’s wrist… However, my inner


    strength just ceased halfway through! How is that even possible?”


    Kaleb remained silent for a while, utterly perplexed as he pondered on the odd feeling he had


    experienced earlier.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Are you sure you aren’t just looking too much into it?” asked Zolton as he looked at the white-haired


    man. Since his father was the one who had invited the mysterious Kaleb over, Zolton respected him


    quite a lot.


    “No… I’m positive that something’s wrong with that young man!” replied Kaleb as he turned to look


    coldly at the direction in which Gerald had left seconds earlier.


    Gerald himself had already made it to a riverbank not too far off. Once he was sure that he was alone,


    he held on tight to the iron que before applying his inner strength on it, causing the que to


    shatter!


    As the pieces of iron fell to the ground, an ancient-looking short de revealed itself as well.


    “As expected, there truly was something mysterious inside!” said Gerald to himself as he picked it up.


    Observing it, the short de was extremely sharp and a ck glow seemed to emanate from it. What


    more, several strange, vein-like lines could also be seen engraved all over it. Holding the magic artifact


    alone made Gerald feel that the de was spiritual in nature, and in a way, he felt slightly oddly moved


    by it. It was as though the de was influencing him.


    Turning to look around him, Gerald noticed arge stone around three hundred feet away from where


    he was standing. With a simple flick of his wrist, he swiftly threw the de toward that rock!


    Making a peculiar whistling sound as it whizzed through the air, debris flew all over the ce the


    moment the short de collided with the rock! As bits of broken-off stone flew all over the ce, the


    ck short de itself immediately whizzed back into Gerald’s hands.


    Checking the condition of the de, Gerald found that there wasn’t even a single scratch on it.


    Delighted, Gerald then said, “I’ve truly obtained a great treasure this time!”


    Just as he was about to leave, however, Gerald’s ears twitched as he heard rustling soundsing


    from all around him.


    It wasn’t long before eight figures revealed themselves as they stepped out of the nearby bushes in


    unison. Encircling Gerald, all of them bore equally cold gazes as a bald man stepped out from the


    group of people and growled, “Hey, b*stard! Hand over the iron que if you don’t want to die! Where


    is it?”


    “As I’ve already repeated several times, I’m not selling it. Why are you still trying to force me to hand it


    over? After all, being polite and amiable should be prioritized when doing anything, no?” advised


    Gerald.


    “Cut the cr*p already! Master Snyder’s already confirmed that the item is extraordinary! Can’t you see


    that just by owning such a great treasure, you’ll be seen as someone guilty, even if you truly are


    innocent! The foreigner even attempted to pay for the que earlier, yet you refused! Humph! Tough


    luck now!” sneered the bald man.


    “You’d better not try anything funny. I don’t want to kill any more people during this period of time!”


    replied Gerald who knew he was now being ced in a difficult position.


    Though it had only been a few days since Gerald returned to living a normal life, his temperament had


    been healing at an elerated rate. After all, he had finally been given the chance to live the in and


    worry-free life that he always yearned for. While he was well aware that all this was only temporary, he


    cherished the fact that he could still experience such bliss in the first ce.


    Sadly, the only response from the eight people were bursts ofughter.


    “H-has he gone mad? To think that he actually imed that he didn’t want to kill people!”


    “Man, at my age, I’ve seen several people wetting their pants once they knew they were going to die…


    This guy’s on a whole new level! I guess the shock must have been too overwhelming for him to even


    be able to say such an insane thing!”


    “Well, all eight of us may have aplished several missions together, but I guess there’s always


    something new to experience!”


    As the eight people continuedughing till their sides hurt, Gerald took in a deep breath before


    pleading, “I wasn’t kidding. Please, I’m being dead serious here. If you leave me be, then all of you will


    live. Isn’t that ideal?”


    “Hahaha! Alright… That’s enough nonsense for one day. Just kill him and retrieve the iron que so


    that we’ll be able toplete our task!” said the bald man as he gestured for hisrades to attack,


    his expression turning hideous within a split second.


    Hearing the order, the seven other men’s eyes grew murderous as well as they immediately began


    walking toward Gerald. From their eyes alone, Gerald could tell that these people were experienced


    killers.
