Chapter 1272


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1272


    Due to Gerald having such a powerful weapon on him, the nine people had momentarily fled for fear


    that Gerald would end up killing them instead.


    It was only after they made their escape that they recalled that Gerald wasn’t able to properly control


    the jade pendant’s power yet. As all nine of them slowly recovered their strength, they each thought


    about stealing the pendant off Gerald before taking him away.


    With their mind made up, all of them began making their way toward Mountain Top the moment their


    strength fully recovered. However, both parties truly hadn’t expected to bump into each other on their


    way there.


    Being enemies, they naturally fought and bickered the entire way there.


    “How unlucky we are to meet you again! Regardless, we’ll certainly be the ones who’ll end up getting


    our hands on both Gerald and that jade pendant!”


    After continuing to bicker for quite a while, all nine of them swiftly made it past the restricted area on


    Mountain Top.


    Several of the bodyguards noticed their speedy entry and instantly grew frightened. With that, they


    immediately informed their superiors about what they had just witnessed.


    By the time the guards were done passing the message on, the group of people had already arrived at


    the top of the mountain in no time t.


    “So you’ve finally appeared!” shouted Chester as they approached the cave’s entrance.


    Chester had been sitting cross-legged and on guard atop the mountain for days, and when he saw the


    nine people, a strong sense of resentment was reflected in his eyes. Of course, his hatred amplified the


    second he saw Tiara.


    “You traitor! Still, I really hadn’t expected Gerald to have the ability to restore both your sanity and


    consciousness!” scoffed Tiara, murderous intent in her eyes.


    Clenching his fist, Chester then retorted, “The fact that he’s done so means that Mr. Crawford has


    granted me the opportunity to take my revenge!”


    Though the old woman standing before him was his own grandmother, Tiara had never once regarded


    Chester as her grandson at all. In fact, he was pretty sure that she had only ever seen him as nothing


    more than a dog.


    She didn’t even hesitate to kill him and turn him into a monster that was barely even human! To Tiara,


    once a dog, always a dog, and that made Chester hate her even more.


    “Hah! Take revenge? I guess you now have the same mindset as Gerald after following him around so


    much! To think that you’re actually daring enough to even consider taking revenge on me, Chester! I


    see how it is! And here I thought that you’d finally be useful for once after I turned you into a killing


    machine with witchcraft! Yet here you are, nning to betray me! Since that’s the case, I’ll just kill you


    again and make sure all your limbs are ripped from your body!” scowled Tiara with a murderous look in


    her eyes.


    “No matter how one-sided it is, I’m still going to fight you! I won’t allow any of you to take a single step


    inside, even if I have to die trying!” dered Chester fearlessly as he got to his feet.


    “Hahaha! Say, you old witch! Do you need our help clearing the path for you? If you do, then we’ll hand


    Gerald over to you as a bonus! However, we’ll be taking the jade pendant with us! How’s that sound?


    Regardless, he seems to be right inside the cave before us!” said one of the men with a grin.


    “Dream on! I’m getting my hands on Gerald, the pendant, and also this traitor today!” retorted Tiara, a


    malicious smile formed on her face.


    The second her sentence ended, her expression instantly turned terrifying as she dashed toward


    Chester! Her movements were so swift that Chester was only able to go on the defensive.


    It certainly didn’t help that Gerald’s pendant had suppressed quite a bit of his strength. Due to that,


    Chester’sbative abilities were much worsepared to before.

    Finding gaps in his defense, Tiara managed tond several hits on Chester’s chest, causing the youth


    to fly backward! His body ended up colliding with a boulder—which then shattered from the impact—


    and the second that happened, Chester immediately began vomiting blood!


    Despite Tiara using all of her strength in that deadly attack, the bloody-faced Chester still managed to


    get to his feet, albeit a bit shakily.


    “…You… You can only enter over my dead body…!” shouted Chester whose resolute white eyes


    contrasted his now-reddened face.


    “Heh! He’s still standing after you used such a deadly attack on him, old witch! You sure you don’t need


    our help?” mocked one of the eight men. The men themselves had been standing at the side, their


    arms crossed as they watched the show.


    “Silence! I only need one final attack! He’ll surely die once I break off all the meridians in his body!”


    shouted Tiara as she prepared tond her finishing blow.


    Gritting his teeth fiercely, Chester was sure that this was his end when suddenly, he heard a voice


    shouting, “Fight back!”


    The voice itself seemed like it came from right beside his ears… No. It felt like… it came from within


    himself.
