Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1299
“That’s enough! Lock her up in her room, and be sure to guard her closely! From today onward, she’s
prohibited from leaving her room!” shouted Yreth. Hearing that, a few guards ran over and instantly led
Yume to her room, as per Lady Gunter’s orders.
Now that her granddaughter had been taken care of, Yreth was confident that she would be able to
gain what she wanted from Gerald.
Gerald himself was now swiftly running away from the cave in the dark of night. After learning more
about the three groups’ ns to capture him, he didn’t dare linger around for any more than he needed
to.
His current n was to first find Chester then leave this ce together with him.
However, just as he was about to leave the suburbs—and re-enter the city area—Gerald suddenly
heard rustling soundsing from the surrounding forests.
From how loud and swift the rustling was, one would normally assume that it was some kind of
extremely fast animal. However, Gerald had a gut feeling that that was no animal. Stopping in his
tracks, Gerald then went into high alert to figure out what—or who—he was dealing with.
If he was going to bepletely honest, Gerald now felt like the temperature had just plummeted.
Whatever was out there, it was sending intense chills down his spine.
‘What—or who—on earth is targeting me this time…?’ Gerald thought to himself as endless beads of
sweat rolled down his forehead. The fear he was currently feeling was almost primal in nature, and it
was unlike anything he had previously felt.

Eventually, Gerald slowly raised his head… And there, he was.
Standing under the faint moonlight—atop a close-by tree—was a towering and sturdy-looking man who
had his arms crossed as he stared down at Gerald. While the man’s face was a purplish-ck and his
lips a dark shade of purple, his eyes gleamed in scarlet hues. Adding that to the fact that darkness just
seemed to exude from that man, Gerald could only describe him as corpse-like!
As he continued staring at Gerald without moving a muscle, Gerald himself now knew the source of all
his fear. It was as though his entire being was being suppressed just from the sight of that imposing
man alone.
In his terrified state, Gerald found himself taking a few steps back before saying, “…Hogan?”
The second he said that, Gerald watched wide-eyed as Hogan’s massive body leaped into the air…
andnded gently atop a fragile-looking branch! While that alone was impressive enough, Gerald
barely even had the time to react as Hogan used the slight rebound of the branch tounch himself at
Gerald at lightning speed!
Being more ustomed to danger than others, Gerald quickly snapped out of his daze and instantly
began attempting to retreat!
Before Gerald could even get far, however, he felt a massive tremor as Hogannded heavily on the
ground! Turning back to look, Gerald watched as Hogan spread out his arms and revealed both of his
hands…
The tips of Hogan’s fingernails looked as sharp as a hungry wolf’s fangs, and in a way, it almost felt like
Hogan had iron ws instead of actual hands. What more, a strange darkness seemed to be
enveloping both of Hogan’s hands.
At that moment, Gerald realized that Yume hadn’t been exaggerating at all. Hogan truly was more of a
weapon than an actual human at this point. A weapon brought to life by reanimating a corpse.
“Running away? From me? I’ll say it now that it won’t be easy, boy! Nowe with me! My master and
Lady Gunter are waiting for you!” said Hogan before screeching in a way that resembled a crow’s cry.
Watching as Hogan then immediately—and swiftly—began walking toward him, Gerald quickly
activated his inner strength. Fully ready to lose his artifact, as hemanded in his mind,
‘Dawnbreaker!’
With that, the ck short de came to life.
Since Hogan’s entire body almost seemed to bepletely ted with iron, Gerald felt that his only
means of fighting against that hulking man was by using the Dawnbreaker.
Regardless, the de then shot out of Gerald’s sleeve at almost breakneck speed, aimed right for
Hogan’s neck!
To Gerald’s utter horror, the usually trusty Dawnbreaker wasn’t even close to posing a threat to Hogan.
After all, the massive man had simply pinched the de between two of his w-like fingers like it was
nothing!
Tossing the de to the ground, Hogan then grunted before coldly saying, “I told you toe with me!”
‘This… This person is far too strong…!’ Gerald thought to himself, his sheer disbelief evident on his
face.
However, Hogan was done waiting. Gerald could only see Hogan’s blurry figure as the giant of a man
began rushing toward Gerald at immense speed!
The next thing Gerald knew, a huge and powerful-looking hand was inches away from his stomach…
