The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2390

Raising a slight brow, Gerald then followed the source of the voice...

Soon enough, he came across a group of suited men standing around and scowling at a few people that were lying on the floor... and one of the men on the floor was a seriously injured Zack! From the looks of it, Zack’s hair was starting to turn white as well...

Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when he heard Zack yell, “I’ll never sign it! The Crawford family’s business shall remain!”

“Hah! Know that if you don’t sign it, you won’t be the only one facing the consequences... Your children will as well! Besides, even if you don’t sign it, the Morningstars will eventually get what we want!” scoffed a gorgeous woman who had her arms locked around what appeared to be the leader of the group.

“You dare say that after you betrayed my son and killed him...?! You utter slut of a woman! I’ll kill you, Stephanie Eaton...!” roared the infuriated Zack before charging toward her!

In response, the middle-aged man simply waved his hand, releasing a stream of essential qi that quickly turned into a cloud of white smoke! The second the smoke came into contact with Zack, it flung him backward, causing him to roll several times on the ground before eventually spurting blood out!

Upon seeing that, Gerald felt his eyelids twitch as he thought, ‘Was that... inner strength?’

Whatever the case was, the middle-aged man then scoffed, “You brat! The Crawford family is dead! The fact that you’re still guarding their properties must mean that you crave death!”

With that, the middle-aged man then swung his hand toward Zack’s forehead...!

However, when his hand was mere inches away from its mark, the middle-aged man quickly realized that he couldn’t move it any further! It was like some force was holding his hand back! Before the surprised man could even react, his hand exploded right before his very eyes...!

Howling in pain, the agonized man then yelled, “W-what the hell?!”

Before the man could say anything else, his entire arm exploded next! The sheer force of it caused the screaming man to fly in the opposite direction...! How terrifying...!

Now panicking, the rest of his men could be heard frantically asking, “W-what is the meaning of this?! Who’s doing this?!”

Upon turning around and seeing Gerald—who was standing about five meters away from them—one of the men immediately yelled, “... So it’s you! Courting death, aren’t we? Get him!”

Following that, the group of men attempted to pounce on the boy... only to realize that they couldn’t move a muscle! Gerald—who still had his hands against his back—had fully immobilized them without even moving an inch!Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“...W-what the hell is this horrific power-”

Before the petrified henchman could even finish his sentence, he—along with all the other men who had just attempted to attack Gerald—felt an immense power growing within... all of a sudden, the power bloated so rapidly that the immobilized men found themselves exploding on the spot!

Upon witnessing such carnage, Stephanie instantly shrieked in horror while the middle-aged man was silenced in his shock.

Contrary to the others in the room, however, Zack—who already had tears in his eyes—looked extremely excited as he got to his feet before exclaiming, “...Y-Young Master Crawford...? You’re... You’re finally back...?!”

“I am! You’ve truly worked hard all these years, Zack!” replied Gerald before pointing toward Zack and sending a stream of essential qi into Zack’s body... and just like that, Zack’s pain disappeared. In fact, he now felt more energetic than ever!

Now that Zack was healed, Gerald was prompted to ask in a frigid tone, “Now then... Who are these people...?”
