Chapter 1586
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1586
“I’m asking you a question. Answer me!” said Gerald.
“That’s right. The map that shows the mechanisms of the traps in Underworld Valley is the key to find the Primocorose. But the thing is, I snatched it from the Zahn family. So now, it belongs to the Mackowski family. Brother, don’t tell me you haven’t heard about my family?”
Now that Zaker knew that he was no match for him and had no idea where the Seven Deadly Lords were, he could only act submissively.
“No wonder the fog was so thick every time I went to Underworld Valley following the map. Looks like I guessed it correctly. There are indeed special traps in the valley.”
Gerald finally found an answer to his question, and his eyes immediately lit up.
“You said that the map is with you, right?”
Gerald said excitedly.
“That’s right. Brother, you are indeed quite powerful. However, you will know how powerful the Mackowski family is by simply asking anyone. I can forgive you for your impoliteness toward me today, but I will advise you not to think about touching the map…”
Slap!
Before he could finish his words, Gerald had already given him another hard slap and thrown him to the ground.
Then, he even stepped on his face. “I have been searching far and wide. In the end, I found it by sheer luck! I have been looking for this thing for a month, and it has been with you all along!”
“Who… who are you actually?!”
Zaker asked in fear.
This man did not act according to the norms. His actions were completely unpredictable.
He had told him his family name, but he just did not seem to get it.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that since I’ve come across this map, it’s mine to take. It’s something you snatched from other people anyway!”
Gerald smiled coldly.
Gerald saw a bag tied around Zaker’s waist.
So, he raised his hand, and the bag flew to his hand right away.
“I know the method of picking the Primocorose! Please save me!”
Nori shouted as if he was her lifeline.
“Deal!”
Gerald smiled.
He wanted to leave right after he had gotten what he wanted.
“B*stard! How dare you be rude to Young Master Mackowski! You are asking for death!”
And as soon as Gerald turned around, seven shadows flew in his direction.
Swoosh.
They were none other than the Seven Deadly Lords.
As soon as they came forth, they were already showing open hostility to Gerald, and they struck him with their strongest blow.
Gerald could not dodge the attack, so he immediately kicked Zaker hard and sent him in the direction of the attack to block it.
Bang! Bang! Boom!
Seven strikes. It was too late for them to withdraw the attacks, so all seven strikes hit Zaker squarely.
“Argh!”
It was a loud and miserable cry.
Next, all they saw was the pulpy and bloody wound on Zaker’s chest.
“Young Master Mackowski!”
The seven lords landed on the ground and looked at Zaker, who was spurting blood uncontrollably, and their faces turned pale immediately.
They were so shocked that their legs gave out.
Zaker Mackowski was the only son of the leader of the Mackowski family in Earth Capital.
But now, he had actually been killed by them?!
Even if they ran to the end of the world, they would not be able to escape death.
Looking at Zaker, who was almost unable to survive, Nori felt relieved and scared simultaneously.
“Let’s go, quick!”
Nori told Gerald hurriedly.
Since Gerald had gotten what he wanted, he was too lazy to entertain the Seven Deadly Lords. So, he used his levitation spell and disappeared from the ground along with Nori.
“Young Master Mackowski! We didn’t mean to!”
The seven lords knelt beside Zaker and cried, not daring to say anything.
“Quick… Go… and get my father! Get him to save me!”
Zaker’s body was trembling uncontrollably. As he vomited blood, he forced himself to squeeze this sentence out of his mouth…
Chapter 1587
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1587
“Zaker!”
Moments later, Yusef Mackowski arrived with his men.
As soon as he saw his son, who was dying, he was devastated.
The Zahn and Mackowski families had ruled the entire Earth Capital for many years.
Eventually, the Mackowski had become the dominant family in Earth Capital.
Yet, unexpectedly, their only son, Zaker Mackoski, who was regarded by Yusef as the future heir of the Mackowski family, had actually suffered such a serious injury.
“Were you the ones who harmed Young Master?!”
Yusef was now full of malicious intent. He was glaring at them and releasing a strong aura from his body.
The aura was enough to make the Seven Deadly Lords shiver and fall to the ground.
A Nine-rank Chakra King was simply too horrifying.
How could they withstand his strong aura?
“No, Master! Young Master was hurt by the daughter of the Zahn family and a young man she conspired with. Besides, the young man snatched away the map of Underworld Valley. We tried to attack him, but he used Young Master as a shield to block the attack. Young Master’s injury had nothing to do with us!”
The leader of the Seven Deadly Lords, who was blind, said as he sobbed in fear.
“A young man?”
Yusef sounded very cold.
“Hmph. Since they have taken the map, they must be heading to Underworld Valley now. They are certainly not far away! I have stabilized Young Master’s condition. His life is no longer in danger. Send him back, and I shall catch up with that b*stard and retrieve the map!”
Yusef ordered coldly.
Meanwhile, a strong killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Boom!
Before the crowd could salute him, they saw a flash of light, and Yusef Mackowski was already gone.
As Gerald and Nori were on their way, Gerald stopped walking suddenly.
“Hey, why did you stop? With the map of the Zahn family in hand, we can get to Underworld Valley before dark. It’s only a stone throw away from here!”
Nori couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
“No. My divine eye is flickering. It makes me feel uneasy. When this happens, it means that our trip this time is very dangerous. I have destroyed Zaker Mackowski, so I think that the Mackowski family will not let things go easily for me. Maybe, they have even already learned about what happened just now and are heading to Underworld Valley. So, we cannot go there now!” explained Gerald.
“It can’t be, can it?” asked Nori.
“Why not? It’s you who said that the Mackowski family has been in power for hundreds of years in Earth Capital. Do you think the members in the family are mere idiots?”
After saying that, Gerald surveyed their surroundings. “The only thing we can do now is to hide and observe what happens next!”
However, as soon as he had said that, they heard a huge gust of wind.
“Hey, kid, where are you trying to go?”
A loud voice was heard resounding throughout the forest.
They felt the cold wind blowing and saw the leaves falling.
Whoosh!
There was a loud noise, and they saw the falling leaves gathering at a high speed, forming a huge orb in just a short time.
With a strong murderous aura, the huge orb of leaves charged toward Gerald.
So that was the power of a Nine-rank Chakra King!
Gerald’s eyelid was twitching crazily.
He grabbed Nori’s arm and backed up several times.
However, the orb was extremely fast.
Zap!
Holding Nori with him, Gerald leaped into the sky.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion, and the earth shook. Even the big trees in their surroundings were crushed into pieces in no time.
The orb of leaves then dispersed and flew across the sky.
Gerald took a few steps backward. This essential qi was too strong.
“Well, well, well. What a good young man who dared to harm my son! Today, I will cut you into pieces to avenge my son! If you are sensible enough, you should hand over the map and accept your death penalty quietly!”
Above a tall tree, Yusef Mackoski descended to the ground like a god with his hands crossed in front of his chest
Chapter 1588
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1588
Yusef Makowski was the leader of the Mackowski family in Earth Capital. He was also a Nine-rank Chakra King. Hence, he had divine power.
“Gerald, what should we do now?! He came too quickly. Moreover, his cultivation level is extremely high!”
Nori grabbed Gerald’s arm desperately.
Gerald had clearly underestimated the ability of a Nine-rank Chakra King.
In truth, his divine eye had already sensed him earlier on. He should have left immediately at that time.
He was a Nine-rank Chakra King after all. His speed could not be judged using the standards of any common cultivators.
Right now, Gerald was working out the best plan in his heart quickly.
After experiencing the first attack, Gerald could distinctly feel the gap between his and Yusef’s strength. If he was to fight with him head-on, he would be as good as dead.
His opponent was in the ninth rank, a rank that even he, who owned the Herculean Primordial Spirit, found very hard to achieve.
“Hey, kid. You are quite impressive. You are already an Eight-rank Chakra King when you are still this young. It looks like I must eliminate you today, or I will face big troubles in the future!”
After sizing up Gerald, Yusef was at first shocked by Gerald’s cultivation level. Then, he immediately revealed his intention to kill Gerald unreservedly. He was determined to kill Gerald.
“No matter what, let’s try first!”
Gerald had made up his mind.
He raised his hand right away. “Leader of the Mackowskis. Although I , Gerald Crawford, am already an Eight-rank Chakra King, you should know very well the gap between me and you, a Nine-rank Chakra King. If we were to fight against each other, I will definitely not be a match for you!”
“Haha! Kid, glad that you are aware of this. Then, tell me, how are we going to fight against each other?”
“My suggestion is that we give each other three strikes. Then, we shall see who falls after the three strikes! Well, you can certainly refuse my suggestion since you are the one who has the say now!” said Gerald.
“Very well, kid. Are you trying to provoke me? Nevertheless, my son is already half-dead after being beaten by you. No matter how eloquent you are today, you won’t be able to escape death! However, I can see that you have a unique spiritual essence. If I can get your spiritual essence and use it on my son, it will not be a bad remedy to treat his injury! Since that is the case, I am worried that I might destroy your spiritual essence if we truly fight against each other. So, yes, I will accept your suggestion. Let’s hit each other with a strike now!”
Yusef laughed coldly and descended slowly in front of Gerald.
“Kid, let’s go!”
Yusef folded his arms across his chest, completely disregarding Gerald.
“Then, I shall not show mercy anymore!”
Gerald gathered all the essential qi in his body and transferred it into his palm.
Following that, he gave Yusef a heavy strike.
Bang!
Once it hit Yusef, Gerald felt a sharp, tearing pain on his palm. It was as though he was hitting a big mountain, and he could not even break Yusef’s defense.
Bang!
The essential qi rebounded, and Gerald took several steps back due to the momentum.
A Nine-rank Chakra King and an Eight-rank Chakra King. The gap between the two was simply too big!
Gerald was horrified.
“This is the second strike!”
Gerald cared no more and struck him the second time with all his might.
The rebound was even more violent than just now.
Gerald felt the rebound from his hand to his back, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, taking a few steps backward.
“Hahaha! How ignorant! Kid, although it is a rare occasion for someone so young like you to be an Eight-rank Chakra King, you will never be able to break my Heavenly Dipper Protection Technique! So, you can only die when I am your opponent!”
Yusef Mackowski threw back his head and laughed.
“Gerald, can you handle it or not?”
Nori asked anxiously.
“This is the last strike!”
Gerald forced himself to stand up once more. He ground his teeth as he tried hard to maintain his posture.
He gathered his essential qi and pounced on Yusef once more.
“Hahaha, it is useless!”
Yusef shook his head.
However, in the next second, he was stunned.
The next thing he saw was when Gerald closed his eyes, an eye actually grew on his forehead.
Then, a powerful golden beam came out from that eye.
“What?!”
Yusef was stunned…
Chapter 1589
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1589
By the time Yusef wanted to react to what he had seen, it was already too late.
The light was too difficult to block as it had come very suddenly.
The light hit his eyes directly, and he stumbled a few steps backward. His head spun crazily, and he fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald ran, taking Nori along with him.
“B*stard, how dare you play dirty tricks on me! Today, I, Yusef Mackowski, will break you into pieces!”
Yusef’s spiritual power was heavily damaged. Now, he was looking at Gerald’s back who was running away in the opposite direction unwillingly, but he could only gnash his teeth with hatred.
Gerald did not dare to delay any longer.
He knew that his power was too weak. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only hold Yusef off temporarily. Now, hiding was no longer possible.
The only thing he could do was to rely on the map and get into Underworld Valley. Using the traps to their advantage, they could somehow block Yusef from getting to them.
On the way there, Gerald examined the map thoroughly and imprinted all the details on the map into his brain.
Then, he destroyed the map for good.
Taking Nori with him, they entered the valley, which was covered in thick black fog.
“Phew, we should already be somewhere at the center of Underworld Valley. Yusef Mackowski shouldn’t be able to catch up already, right?”
Nori spoke as she panted heavily, scanning the eerie surroundings.
“Not necessarily. Yusef Mackowski is not that easy to deal with. We’d better be careful!”
Gerald said, cocking his eyebrows.
At the same time, he surveyed their surroundings vigilantly.
Since the moment they entered Underworld Valley, Gerald had managed to dodge many deadly traps with the help of the map. However, the map was not a panacea. Along the way, they bumped into many ancient beasts which made them into a mess.
For instance, they encountered a Yellow Stone Viper just now. If it hadn’t been for Gerald’s fast reaction, that venomous snake would have already killed them in seconds.
Therefore, Gerald was very cautious.
Squeak squeak…
Suddenly, the distinct sound of rolling wooden wheels entered their ears. It was very clear.
“Listen Gerald. What is that?”
Nori’s heart almost leaped into her throat, and she looked around in panic.
The sound was getting clearer and clearer.
“I heard it. Shh!”
Gerald gestured for her to be quiet.
He put all his attention into the sound. Finally, he managed to identify the direction of the source of the sound in the dark.
At that moment, he vaguely saw the object in front of him,
“Argh!”
Nori cried out loud in fear and hid behind Gerald.
In front of them was a wooden wheelbarrow. On the wheelbarrow, there was a big red wooden coffin.
The wheelbarrow could move on its own, and it was heading toward them, carrying along the wooden coffin on it.
Squeak squeak…
They could hear a creaking sound, almost as if the wooden board was about to shatter at any time. It also meant that there might be something big in the coffin.
It was also Gerald’s first time seeing such a bizarre scene. It would be a lie if he said that he was not in panic now.
“It can’t be a hiderigami, right?”
Gerald was talking to himself, somewhat confused.
To put it simply, a hiderigami was a dried corpse. In simpler words, a zombie.
This thing had been created by using a corpse. The corpse would absorb the essence of the sun and moon and transform into a corpse demon.
It was vicious and bloodthirsty, infinitely powerful and immortal.
In truth, Gerald had learned all of these things from movies.
“Zombie?! Gerald, stop scaring me already! Why is there such a thing in the valley?!”
Nori swallowed her saliva.
“This valley is at least ten-thousand years old. I wouldn’t be surprised if a dinosaur appeared in front of me!” said Gerald.
Gerald was about to grab Nori’s hand to walk away from the coffin when suddenly…
Boom!
The wooden wheelbarrow moved and charged toward Gerald.
“Get away from me!”
Gerald pushed Nori to the side.
Then, he took up a sword-wielding gesture, and a sword flew toward the wooden wheelbarrow immediately.
However, it was almost as if the wooden wheelbarrow were a living thing, and it dodged the sword easily.
Chapter 1590
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1590
A loud bang was heard, and Gerald’s sword hit a big stone behind it, smashing it into ashes.
Bang!
The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the coffin.
It was as if the lid of the coffin was transformed into a divine arrow, and it flew toward Gerald.
Slap!
Gerald blocked it with his palm.
Once the battle started, Gerald was appalled.
A strong force appeared, and it dragged Gerald a few ten meters backward.
“Gerald, are you alright?”
Nori asked quickly in concern.
Honestly, although Nori was using Gerald as a means to survive, she was sincerely worried about him when she saw him get injured.
After all, it was not the first time Gerald had saved her.
If it wasn’t for him, she would already be dead.
“This thing is so powerful! It’s just another Yusef Mackowski!”
Blue veins bulged on Gerald’s arm, and he could feel a tingling sensation in his arm.
Meanwhile, white smoke was still coming out from the coffin.
Then, they saw a pair of ancient official boots slowly appear from the inside of the coffin.
After that, it was a two-meter tall corpse which was wearing an official robe standing in front of the coffin, its black face covered in green hair, and it had green eyes and two big white fangs.
Its hands were like steel forks, and its fingernails were almost twenty centimeters long.
“Zom… It’s a zombie!”
Nori quickly helped Gerald up.
Roar!
The zombie stared at Gerald and Nori for a while. Then, it started to roar.
He pounced on Gerald, and his one leap was enough to cover a distance of twenty meters.
His body was like a small hill, covering them completely from above!
Divine eye!
Gerald shut his eyes tightly, and the third eye appeared right away.
Boom!
A powerful golden beam struck the zombie.
Bang!
However, the attack was only able to make it pause for a second. It was hopeless.
Gerald wanted to fly away. However, the zombie had already arrived before his eyes, and it grabbed his shoulders.
His strength made Gerald feel as though he was locked by an iron chain made from a-thousand-year- old refined iron.
It was very difficult to break free.
Roar!
The zombie flung Gerald ruthlessly.
Gerald’s body smashed more than thirty boulders into ashes.
After only one attack, Gerald felt as if his body was about to break into pieces. He almost couldn’t gather his essential qi anymore.
This beast was simply too strong!
Gerald held his chest in horror.
The zombie, which was blowing black smoke out of its mouth, was slowly walking toward Gerald again.
“Monster, you’d better not move another inch! You and your son were killed by your enemy and buried here, which is why you have such deep hatred. If you dare to move another inch, I will destroy your son’s swaddling clothes!”
As Gerald was spurting out blood and had no idea how to deal with the situation, Nori had run to the red coffin. She forced herself to endure the foul stench to take out the embroidered swaddling clothes of a baby.
The corpse of the baby had long since disappeared, and only the swaddling clothes were left behind.
This item was clearly very precious to the zombie, and it actually stopped in its tracks immediately.
Roar!
It roared angrily at Nori.
Evidently, when Gerald had been fighting against the zombie, Nori had seen the written record about the owner of the coffin on the coffin lid while she had been panicking.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, she had tried, and so, there was this scene. Nevertheless, Nori had certainly made the right bet!
