Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1325
“How unexpected for a greenhorn like you to have achieved such immense inner strength!” said one of the
masters. All three of them had looks of disbelief and bitter smiles on their faces as they stared at Seamus whose
entire body seemed to be steaming with excess heat.
Though Seamus was now panting slightly, it was obvious that he had persevered well in his fight. Knowing that, he
then cockily said, “I hope you now understand what my father and second uncle had meant! Just surrender already
so that lives can be spared! Let this be a warning that if I have to continue fighting, I won’t be holding back
anymore! Understand that our visit today is solely aimed at Rupert! If you don’t wish to die, then step aside!”
Hearing that, all three of the masters could only sigh. Barely any fighting spirit left in them, they were well aware
that if they were unable to take down Seamus even after combining all three of their efforts, then they could
certainly forget about ever being Bradley’s opponent.
Seeing that, Rupert and everyone else from the King Valley felt as though they had hit rock bottom. Understanding
that there was no longer anything to lose, Rupert glared daggers at the Fairleighs before shouting angrily, “Do it!”
Upon hearing the command, two gunmen instantly revealed themselves from behind the courtyard’s many rocks!
Both of them had been hired with massive sums of money, and they had each claimed to be gods of
marksmanship. With that in mind, Rupert had placed them as his last line of defense.

off the ground before launching them directly at the two gunmen! The stones themselves hit each of them right
between their eyebrows, causing both of them to scream in unison as they fell to the ground!
Up till this point, the Fairleighs had only made their appearance for about ten minutes. Despite that being the case,
many of Rupert’s more capable men were already seriously wounded and down for the count. Though he still had
about a hundred and fifty bodyguards at his command, Rupert knew better than to increase the casualties for the
sake of it. From what he could tell, the only ones left who were capable of momentarily holding their ground were
himself and a few other elders. However, that was about it.
As he pondered his next step, Bradley suddenly shouted, “Step back, Seamus. I’ll be taking over from here!”
With a frosty glare, Bradley then slowly—and menacingly—began walking toward Rupert.
At that moment, both Fleur and Yenny ran up to the square—utterly panicked and surprised by the huge mess they
were currently witnessing—as they shouted, “Father…!”
By this point, Rupert’s face had gone completely pale. With trembling legs, he then slowly turned to look at his two
beautiful daughters… Though he clenched his fists tightly as he tried his hardest to resist, in the end, he knew he
had to do it.
“…Say… Bradley, Hershel… Quite honestly, we never really resented you back then… It was a blessing, really, that
your ancestors managed to learn the art of pill-making from our King Valley. After all, it eventually led to the
creation of Fairleigh Valley! Regardless, I’ve always had a hunch that Seamus was interested in our Fleur… What
say you to us turning this enmity into friendship…?”
“Hah! You really think my nephew likes your Fleur? Let’s cut the bullsh*t and just let me kill you already! Once that’s
done, I’ll just take your daughter so that my nephew can satisfy his urges!” scoffed Bradley, not even worried about
filtering his words anymore as he began walking menacingly toward Rupert. From what everyone could see, his
murderous intent was already overflowing by this point.
At that moment, Myles rushed over to stand before Rupert while shouting, “Master!”
However, the second he got there, Bradley simply smacked his hand against Myles’s shoulder, causing him to
crumble to the ground, completely unable to stand!
Patting Rupert’s face with the back of his hand, Bradley—who was now standing right in front of the man—then
said, “You know, once you’re out of the picture, Rupert, Fairleigh Valley will finally be able to take what we’ve always
wanted. With that in mind, did you honestly think that we would even need to covet to your petty bargain?”
“B-Brother Bradley, I admit to my faults…! I was blind back then, so please forgive me…! Before you do anything
rash, please remember that your ancestors were only able to make their fortune because of the King Valley! With
that in mind, you can’t just wipe out the roots of your forefathers…!” pleaded Rupert. Now that he had nobody else
supporting him, the trembling Rupert knew that he was no different than an ordinary man.
A split second later, Rupert’s right cheek was immediately greeted by a slap!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“‘Can’t just wipe out the roots of our ancestors?’ You talk as though you’re even worthy to call yourself that! I’ll say
it now that to me, killing you is as easy as squashing a bug! Regardless, once Fairleigh Valley takes over the King
Valley’s industry, I’m sure the other valleys won’t have anything to say about it, am I correct?”
“Y-yes! It’s as you said! With that in mind, please spare my life, Brother Bradley!” begged Rupert who simply
couldn’t bear the pressure of death anymore. He was so terrified, in fact, that he immediately knelt before his
daughters and everyone else with a loud ‘thud’ before hugging onto Bradley’s legs and bumping his forehead onto
them.
Regardless of how much of a bigshot he was, he was only human and still feared death. He had only persevered for
so long since he had tasted power and wealth before. In other words, he had been more afraid of losing his
material belongings than death up till this point.
Watching as his former enemy knelt and begged like a dog, Bradley instantly laughed triumphantly, his
dissatisfaction—that he had held in his heart for over ten years—seemingly slowly dissipating.
As for the three masters from before, they could only hold onto their chests, unable to advance nor retreat. Sighing
internally, all three of them simultaneously thought, ‘Today truly has been a mistake… We’ve now lost everything…’
Looking at how pitiful the once majestic boss of Sunhill Rise currently was, everyone’s hearts felt extremely bitter.
After all, no matter how much he knelt or begged for mercy, that man was still their lord.
“M-Master, you mustn’t do this…! Kneeling today will only make you the joke of the other valleys as well as our
international businessman customers!” said Myles, his eyes reddened.
