    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1497


    ‘I’ve been living my life unhindered all this while…! With that said, there’s no way I’d lose against this


    immature and inexperienced young man! It’s simply impossible!’ Carlos thought to himself, an


    extremely hideous expression on his face as he stretched his palm out!


    As five long and ck fingernails extended from his palm, Carlos roared, “To hell with you!”


    “You bore me,” replied Gerald as he looked at the iing attack before shaking his head, a wry smile


    on his face.


    Before Carlos could even inflict any damage, he stared wide-eyed as Gerald gently flicked a finger in


    his direction… sending a beam of light flying toward him!


    Unable to evade in time, the golden light rammed right into his darkness,pletely countering


    Carlos’s attack as an explosive sound was heard!


    The next thing the old man knew, he was flying backward like a crumpled kite. A huge chunk of his


    clothes—around his chest area—had been shredded to pieces and blood was already gushing out his


    mouth like no tomorrow.


    Enduring the immense pain he was now suffering all over his body, Carlos looked at Gerald in


    complete disbelief as he shouted, “H-how… How is any of this even possible…?!”


    As far as Carlos could tell, Gerald hadn’t even been serious with his counterattack. After all, the old


    man had momentarily sensed him releasing an immense aura that was so powerful that it could very


    well be world-ending!


    That was what stunned Carlos the most, and he found himself asking, “…That… What kind of martial


    arts skill even was that…?”


    Hearing that, Gerald simply smiled subtly before saying, “You know, I’ve sworn to myself that if anyone


    attempted to kill or even threatened me a bit too much, I’d end them without a second thought… And in


    an extremely terrible manner too!”


    Upon hearing that—and realizing that Gerald hadpletely disregarded his question—Carlos


    immediately kowtowed respectfully while bursting into tears before pleading, “P-please, master! Please


    spare my life…!”


    When people reached a state like Carlos’s, they would be considered to be extremely rare individuals.


    The cream of the crop, in fact. With that in mind, his life had definitely been way differentpared to


    what regr people could ever dream of attaining.


    However, simr to the others who had gotten to a simr stage as he currently was, when standing


    before death’s door, he was going to do anything he could to live another day. After all, he had gone


    through such painstaking and difficult efforts just to get to where he was today. He couldn’t just die


    here. He absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen…!


    As regret washed through him, Carlos found himself thinking, ‘Why had I offended such a powerful


    individual…?!’


    Chuckling with a smile, Gerald then looked at the old man before saying, “While I’m definitely not the


    mostpassionate person around, I’m not overwhelmingly cruel either. Fine, then! I’ll give you a


    chance to survive… You now have one minute to persuade me as to why I shouldn’t just kill you off. Be


    as concise as possible!”


    “…T-that…” stuttered Carlos as he instantly averted his gaze. He was now so anxious that his mind


    waspletely nk!


    “Time’s ticking!” replied Gerald a few secondster.


    “I… I… I’m escaping!” shouted Carlos as he momentarily looked up before waving hisrge sleeves,


    sending a wave of dust flying toward Gerald!


    Once the dust got inches away from Gerald, however, they seemingly disappeared into thin air! Even


    so, that was enough time for Carlos to take advantage of the situation and dive into the ground!


    While Carlos could no longer be seen, Gerald simply shook his head before saying, “It’s unfortunate,


    but you now have zero chances to redeem yourself. I’m saying it right now that you’ll be unable to


    escape my holy sense, even if you’re a few hundred miles away!”

    With that said, Gerald shifted his divine thought slightly and instantly managed to pinpoint Carlos’s


    exact location.


    Pinching his fingers together as though he was holding onto a sword, Gerald was just about to finish off


    Carlos when he suddenly heard movementing from the far end of the forest.


    Following that, a male voice could be heard shouting, “H-help! Help…!”


    As it turned out, the screams for help hade from a running youth who was carrying an


    unconscious, injured woman. With how bloodied the duo were, it was evident that both of them were


    equally as injured…


    Regardless, the pleas for help were Carlos’s saving grace since Gerald now had his attention on the


    quickly approaching duo who were slowly getting closer to him.


    Knowing full well that Carlos could easily die if Gerald really wanted him dead, he simply allowed the


    old man to run off first. He wasn’t really a big deal anyway.


    Following that thought, Gerald heard a soft ‘thud’…
