Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1169
Seconds before Hendrik was able to land his skull-crushing punch on Gerald—who was already prepared to die at
this point—a shout made him stop his attack half-way.
Of course, the person who had shouted was none other than Chester.
“Grandma, Second Lord! Please don’t kill master! This has nothing to do with him!” said Chester as he fell to his
knees.
“You’re calling him master? How absolutely ridiculous! You’re the master of the Holy Witchcraft! Why on earth
would you call this wealthy spoilt brat your master? If news gets out about this, then our clan’s prestigious name will
surely be destroyed by you!” replied Tiara as the corner of her lips twitched.
She, for one, was a person who cared a lot about prestige. To her, a man dying was nothing special if it was to
maintain the Holy Witchcraft’s status!
“It was my personal decision to be by master’s side! I’ve never wanted to be the young master of the Holy
Witchcraft in the first place! All I’ve ever wanted was to live normally… Ever since I began following master, I came
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto realize that I was actually able to be useful to him, and knowing that, I was happy! After all, I was finally granted
a chance to walk away from my past lifestyle and begin making up for all the wrong I’ve done!” cried out Chester.
None of what Chester had said was an exaggeration. He truly had been living in both guilt and pain before this,
feeling extremely lost and coming to hate everything since he couldn’t find a way out no matter what.
However, from the moment Gerald had given him a taste of death before pulling him back, Chester became
enlightened. In a way, that experience had allowed him to finally find a way to slowly relieve himself of his
tormented past.
To make up for all that he had done, he swore from that moment that he would continue doing good deeds by
continuing to stay by Gerald’s side. He would finally be able to achieve much more in life.
That wasn’t the only positive thing about all this either. Chester had actually managed to gain more friends
throughout his stay with Gerald. The friends in question were Master Joshua and several of the Crawford
bodyguards.
In fact, just yesterday, the bodyguards had invited him over to join them for a drink. However, Master Joshua had
caught them in the act and for a second there, they all thought that they were going to be in trouble. However,
Joshua had only been putting on a façade, and in the end, he ended up joining them as well…
It gave him a feeling of warmth… This was how being alive was supposed to feel.
Chester was also aware that they had invited him to drink with them because they all knew what had happened to
him…
They had noticed that Chester was still quite self-conscious despite having turned into a new leaf after he began
following Gerald around. He had reason to feel that way too. After all, he was a sinner. An unworthy young master
of the Holy Witchcraft…
However, knowledge of that didn’t stop Joshua and the guards from seeing him as a friend. A friend of Gerald’s was
a friend of theirs, and it was at that moment when Chester knew he could share anything on his mind with them.
It was nothing short of liberating, and for a moment, Chester truly believed that he had finally been able to walk
away from his past.
“…Ridiculous… How absolutely ridiculous! How could the young master of the Holy Witchcraft say something like
that?!” roared Tiara in fury, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
“Since you’re my grandson, I’ll give you one final chance! Kill this Gerald and you’ll be permitted to regain your title
of young master of the Holy Witchcraft!” added Tiara.
Looking at the vicious woman, Gerald could only clench his fists tightly. If only Queena hadn’t sealed off his power!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t make me repeat myself!” warned Tiara.
“Even if I have to die, I won’t hurt my master! Why do you want to kill him so badly, grandmother?! I’ve already left
the Holy Witchcraft and I’m over with it! Please, just leave us be already!” replied Chester as he instantly began
repeatedly lowering his forehead to the ground.
As blood began trickling down his forehead, the angered Tiara then shouted, “You b*stard of a grandson! Fine then!
If you won’t do it, I’ll just kill this useless brat myself!”
With that said, she raised her right palm and—aiming it toward Gerald’s head—instantly began charging toward
him!
Without his inner strength, Gerald knew that he wouldn’t be able to dodge the attack, so he could only brace for
impact!
A loud ‘thud’ could be heard, as Gerald’s eyes reddened.
However, the redness wasn’t because of the attack. No, it was out of utter shock.
Chester had taken the hit for him, and due to that, part of his skull ended up getting crushed! The worst thing was,
Tiara had clearly been able to stop her attack when Chester stood before Gerald. Even so, the old woman had
proceeded with the deed anyway!
With blood now spurting out of Chester’s mouth, he fell to the ground right before Gerald.
“Chester!”
