Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1006

"What's wrong with you, Caleb?"

“...B-how...?” muttered Kaleb while looking at his two hands, apparently still dumbfounded.

“Explain yourself, Caleb. What do you mean, 'how'?”

“A-I used my inner strength earlier when I held onto the young man's wrist.However, my inner strength just stopped halfway! How is that possible?”

Caleb was silent for a moment, completely confused as he pondered the strange feeling he had experienced earlier.

"Are you sure you didn't pay too much attention to it?" zolton asked as he looked at the white-haired man. Because his father was the one who invited the mysterious Caleb, Zolton had great respect for him.

“No... I'm sure something is wrong with the young man!” kaleb replied as he turned to look coldly at the direction Gerald had left behind a few seconds earlier.

Gerald himself had reached the riverbank not too far away. Once he was certain that he was alone, he held tightly onto the iron plaque before applying his inner strength on it, causing the plaque to break!

As the piece of iron fell to the ground, an ancient-looking short sword also appeared.

"As expected, there really is something mysterious inside!" gerald said to himself while taking it.

Observing it, the short blade was extremely sharp and a black light seemed to radiate from it. Moreover, some strange lines like veins were also seen etched on it. Holding the magic artifact alone made Gerald feel that the sword was spiritual, and on one hand, he felt a little moved by it. It was as if the sword was affecting him.

Turning around to look around him, Gerald saw a huge rock about three hundred feet from where he was standing. With a simple flick of his wrist, he quickly threw his sword at the stone!

Making a strange whistling sound as it whizzed through the air, debris flew everywhere as the short sword collided with the rock! As the broken pieces of stone flew everywhere, the black short sword itself immediately shot back into Gerald's hands.

Checking the condition of the blade, Gerald discovered that there was not a single scratch there.

However, just as he was about to leave, Gerald's ears twitched as he heard a rustling sound coming from around him.

It was not long before eight figures appeared as they stepped out of the nearby bushes simultaneously. Surrounding Gerald, they all put on the same cold gaze as a bald man walked out from the group of people and growled, “Hey, b*stard! Hand over the iron plaque if you don't want to die! Where's it?"

“As I've repeated several times, I don't sell it. Why are you still trying to force me to hand it over? After all, being polite and friendly should take priority when doing things, right? ” suggestion Gerald.

“Cut that shit! Master Snyder had already confirmed that the item was amazing! Can't you see that just by possessing such a huge treasure, you will be seen as someone guilty, even if you are completely innocent! The stranger even tried to pay for the plaque early, yet you refused! Huh! Hard luck now!” tease the bald guy.

“You better not try something funny. I don't want to kill people anymore during this period of time!” replied Gerald who knew he was now in a difficult position.

Although it had only been a few days since Gerald returned to living a normal life, his temperament had recovered quickly. After all, he was finally given the chance to live a simple and worry-free life that he had always yearned for. Although he was well aware that all of this was only temporary, he appreciated the fact that he could still experience such happiness from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, the only response from the eight people was laughter.

“H-is he crazy? To think that he really claims that he doesn't want to kill people!”

“Gosh, at my age, I've seen some people wet the bed once they know they're going to die.. This guy is on a whole new level! I guess her shock must have been too overwhelming for her to be able to say such a crazy thing!”

“Well, the eight of us may have accomplished some missions together, but I guess there's always something new to experience!”

As the eight men continued to laugh until their side hurt, Gerald took a deep breath before pleading, “I'm not kidding. Please, I'm very serious here. If you leave me, then you will all live. Isn't that ideal?”

"Ha ha ha! All right. That's enough bullshit for one day. Just kill him and take back the iron plaque so we can complete our task!” said the bald man while gesturing for his comrades to attack, his expression turning ghastly in a split second.

Hearing the order, the eyes of the other seven men became murderous and they immediately started walking towards Gerald. From their eyes alone, Gerald could tell that these people were seasoned killers.
