Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1316

By that point, all of Gerald’s hairs had stood on end, and he knew for a fact that he wasn’t going to be able to

dodge the attack. With that in mind, he gathered what strength he could to brace himself for impact!

A split second later, the colossal hand slammed against Gerald, causing an explosion of energy and white smoke to

form as Gerald found himself flying backward! The sheer force of the impact alone had caused Gerald’s clothes—

especially on his back—to instantly get torn to shreds, and soon enough, Gerald’s back collided against the area’s

stone walls!

Immediately coughing out blood, Gerald no longer had to wonder how the savage had killed the other Spirit Earth

Realm masters. From what Gerald could tell, killing them off must have been as easy as pounding garlic with the

savage’s immense strength! He was way stronger than Hogan!

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Gerald had recently sharply increased his strength—by learning and utilizing the

art of Thunder Eruption—then there was a good chance that he would’ve already died from that one hit.

Regardless, now wasn’t the time to stop and think about all this. Using all the strength remaining in him, Gerald

instantly activated his lightness skill to dodge around the hulking man before silently—and quickly—climbing to the

area’s rock ceiling. Once he gripped on tightly enough, he immediately held his breath.

Thankfully, the monster of a man below him didn’t seem to know where he had gone. Gerald further confirmed this

when the savage began running around the area to locate him! What a predicament he was in!

Though he was now sweating, Gerald was thankful that he could at least catch his breath for the moment… Or at

least that was what he thought.

Never would he have expected for the jade pendant—that had been hanging around his neck—to slip out of his

now-tattered clothes due to the awkward angle he was currently in!

While that alone was already worrying enough, it certainly didn’t help that the dangling pendant instantly began

shining brightly!

Similar to turning on an extremely bright light in the middle of a pitch-black room out of the blue, everything within

the area could now be seen extremely clearly.

‘For the love of god, even if you don’t wish to help me, there’s no reason for you to harm me!’ Gerald thought to

himself as the giant man slowly raised his head to see where the light was coming from.

Their eyes now affixed with one another’s, the brief moment of silence between the two felt like an eternity as

Gerald found himself hyper-focusing on the savage’s physical characteristics.

‘I was wrong before, he isn’t six feet tall, but he’s actually close to seven! His hair is all over the place and he also

has a shaggy beard that covers most of his face! As for his eyes, they’re an unusually bright blue, and his muscles…

They’re like piles upon piles of reinforced steel that plate his body, filled to the brim with explosive power!’

That was the last thing Gerald was able to register before the savage finally let out another roar.

Gulping, Gerald truly wished he could just fly out of there.

While Gerald was confident in his speed, he knew that there was always a chance that the savage would be faster.

However, he was currently in a do-or-die situation.

Before he could even execute his plan, however, the savage suddenly leaped off the ground! Unable to even block

the attack, Gerald found his neck being clenched before instantly losing his grip on the ceiling… and being pushed

right into the ground!

Though that definitely hurt, Gerald immediately began struggling in his pathetic attempt of escaping the savage’s

grasp.

Was this his end? Was his neck going to be twisted, just like he had done to the sixth and seventh brother earlier?

As fearful thoughts continued running through Gerald’s mind, he suddenly realized that the savage wasn’t finishing

him outright. Surprised, he slowly turned to see what was keeping the savage…

To his astonishment, the savage was now staring at the jade pendant that was lying on his chest! What more, his

grip on Gerald’s neck was slowly loosening over time!

Following that, Gerald watched as the savage carefully removed the pendant off Gerald’s neck. Since the pendant

itself was only the size of a newborn’s palm, in the massive man’s hand, it looked more like a grain of wheat.

After seemingly studying it for some time, the massive man used the light of the pendant to illuminate Gerald’s

face…

The second he did so, he instantly placed the jade pendant back on Gerald’s chest before taking a few steps back in

fright. If Gerald had to describe the look on the savage’s face, it was as though he had just seen the devil!

As if that wasn’t already surprising enough, the savage quickly knelt before him with a loud ‘thud’ before declaring

in a deep and hoarse voice, “Forgive me, Master Deity, for I have sinned!”

Momentarily startled, Gerald quickly regained his wits and—after tucking the pendant back into his still-tattered

shirt—replied, “…Master Deity?”

“Yes, Master Deity! This lowly one goes by the name of Leo, and I greet you with the utmost respect!” shouted the

savage before lowering his head to the ground.

From the looks of it, the savage seemed to be somewhat similar to Queena. After all, both of them were

acknowledging him as some sort of deity. Could Leo and Queena have originated from the same place…? If that

was the case, how that meant that Leo had to be at least thousands of years old!

As Gerald was marvelling over that fact, he started wondering why the jade pendant had chosen to light up again

now, of all times. The warm sensation that had last appeared a few days ago was now present as well.

Could it be that the jade pendant had sensed that those from this place were nearby and would eventually appear?
