Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1171

With that said, Hendrik ordered that Gerald be arrested.

Not long after, Gerald finds himself in a secret room with Hendrik.

"Tell me, Gerald... Do you know the secret technique to get rid of ancient magic...?" asked Hendrik coldly.

“Confidential technique? Now why do I know such a thing! After all, such a technique was only taught to those within Sacred Magic, right?” gerald replied rather casually as he turned to look at Hendrik.

“You better stop pretending in front of me, boy! I admit that I used a secret ancient magic technique on Chester's body a long time ago.The magic poisoned someone's heart, making them act in an eccentric, unreasonable, and extreme way! After a long time, the person would finally die from insanity! I'm lucky to have discovered such an ancient technique, you know? After all, when I saw Chester again earlier, the magic I gave him seemed to have been uprooted! While he can regain his consciousness, I'm glad the old woman still killed him with a single blow! Otherwise, all my plans will be in vain!” grumpy Hendrik while staring intently at Gerald.

Grabbing Gerald's collar, he then added, “Now hurry and reveal the truth! If not you, then is there anyone else among you who is proficient in ancient secret techniques ?! ”

In fact, Gerald had noticed something strange about Chester when he had just cornered him in the woods. After using his mind-reading skills on Chester, he realizes that Chester is not actually a person of bad character. Instead, he seems to be constantly repenting and confessing his sins!

Simultaneously, Gerald also saw a demon within him that wanted to act uncontrollably.

Something doesn't feel right about that. After all, while childhood trauma can certainly be associated with having extreme feelings or emotions, the things Gerald felt inside Chester were on a whole new level.

It was then that Gerald realized that someone had used heart-devouring magic on him. Such magic is poisonous to the afflicted, and this technique can be used in any part of the body. If one was not proficient in the technique or if they did not know about its existence in the first place, even a master who was an expert with poison would not be able to tell if one was suffering from magic.

However, Finnley had previously taught and bequeathed all of his skills to Gerald. As a result, Gerald was much more proficient in poison because he had received legitimate training about them.

In spite of that, moments after the incident, Gerald finds an opportunity to remove the poison from Chester's body. However, he refrained from telling Chester about it because he only wanted to tell him about it after he fully recovered.

After all, that was the reason why Gerald treated Chester so well. If not for his poison, Chester had a simple and kind personality. But there is no point in thinking about all this now ...

Chester is no longer among the living.

He died because of Gerald, and Hendrick set him up.

Thinking of that, Gerald turned his head to stare intently at Hendrik, an enormous killing intent reflected in his eyes.

“Not only have you refused to answer my question, but now you are even glaring at me with great killing? Do it your way! I have many ways to make a useless person like you speak up! Although I cannot kill you, I can still make you suffer by humiliating you until you would rather die than live!” henrik said as he widened his eyes.

“Men! Tie him up before hanging him in the harbor! He will be placed there as an exhibition for tens of thousands of people. Just let him down once he is willing to confess!” hendrik orders while laughing out loud.

In accordance with Hendrik's order, Gerald immediately closed—for all people to see— in the port.

Also in keeping with Hendrik's words, an almost endless number of hikers immediately recognized who he was when they walked past him, the report said, encourage many to take the time to stare and discuss Gerald's current plight.

"Oh my God, isn't that Mr. Crawford...?"

“What is going on? How could he end up in such a miserable state?”

“Well, I'm sure you've heard about how cruel the internal committee of Sacred Magic is, right? You know, Mr. Crawford is the one who has exposed their lies and exposed them! Because of his actions, the young master turned into a new sheet and even announced his departure from Sacred Magic! Since then, Mr. Crawford was supposed to take over the young master under his wing!”

“You know, Mr. Crawford has never lacked an economy-based project for the Yonwick family.In fact, he even took the initiative to invest and start several development projects on Montholm Island! You can already say that Mr. Crawford is a good man of all he has done!” clearly a pedestrian.

While they clearly viewed him positively, none of those discussing Gerald dared to speak out loudly. After all, there were two guards from Holy Magic watching over Gerald, and everyone knew that the people from that clan were proficient in magic that could be easily used to kill others.

Although they were aware that trying to save her would definitely cause trouble, many hikers chose to remain there. For them, since they were unable to actively help her, accompanying her was the next best thing.

Around that time, a car slowly drove through the area…

"…Hmm? Miss Queena, look! This is Mr Crawford!” exclaim the driver who was shocked when he saw who was lifted in the harbor.

Hearing that, he immediately lowered the windshield of the car to look at himself. Of course, seeing Gerald in such a state made him feel extremely depressed.

While he is very tempted to take down Gerald right now, he keeps reminding himself that his current situation is ideal enough for his plan to succeed. In his mind, he concluded that once Gerald got to the point where he could no longer bear being insulted, he would eventually realize that he was the only person who really cared about him. At that time, he would definitely choose to approach her, begging for mercy!

For his plan to come true, he knew he had to endure his own pain, even if it put him a little depressed.

"That's how! Well, he has nothing to do with us! Drive!" queena replied while closing her eyes.

Not daring to delay the car trip, the driver just complied and left.

Meanwhile, Gerald thought to himself, 'I must immediately think of a way to recover my strength! If this continues, then I will definitely lose the promise of holy water! However, even after I escaped, I have no real way to contact grandfather at all…!'

Hours passed and soon, it was late at night ...
