Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1091
Concentrating all his energy into a single strike, an explosive sound could be heard as Christopher launched himself toward Gerald with an attack aimed for the youth’s chest!
Seconds before his attack collided with Gerald, a loud buzzing sound could be heard. It was only when his fist arrived inches before its target that Christopher realized a split second too late that all his strength had suddenly been drained by some mysterious force.
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to stop his punch’s momentum in time, Christopher immediately tried to intensify his force again.
When his fist finally collided with Gerald’s chest, however, he quickly realized that the amount of force he ended up exerting was only comparable to that of a new-born.
As if that wasn’t perplexing enough, Christopher found himself flying backward, unable to regain control of his movements! It felt similar to toppling down a steep mountain, and before the old man knew it, he had crashed harshly onto the ground!
“H-how… How is this even possible?!” groaned Christopher in utter disbelief as he sat feebly on the ground, his eyes wide open.
The old man was now holding on to his numb left arm that felt close to being broken.
How could this be? It had only been ten days since they last fought!
Back then, Gerald had only been able to make it out alive with the aid of some odd swordplay. Christopher was well aware that he could’ve killed Gerald back there and then as long as he had been a bit more alert, and he was certain that Gerald understood that as well.
In short, the only reason Gerald had won the battle was because of his sneak attack.
Knowing that Gerald didn’t have any other tricks up his sleeve, Christopher chose to wait for Gerald to show himself again. If things had gone according to plan, he would’ve killed the youth once that happened.
Following that, Christopher would tell Daryl that he had his grandson before threatening to kill Gerald should Daryl refuse to tell him the secret of the ancient tomb. Once he got the information he needed, Christopher would then toss Gerald’s corpse before Dylan!
The thought of how desperate Daryl would look at that moment brought endless glee to Christopher back when he was still waiting for Gerald.
It was a simple plan that—if everything had gone smoothly—would’ve resulted in Christopher gaining the secret of the ancient tomb for his own family.
