Semua Bab The Secretly Rich Man: Bab 1601 - Bab 1610

“You…! Listen here, your sister’s still in my grasp! Don’t you even dare consider playing any tricks, you hear?!” retorted Henrick as he angrily grabbed Jessica by her neck. “You old b*stard! One wrong move on my sister and your son will be dead! If you think I’m just joking around, then try me!” roared Gerald as he instantly lifted Yesirn by his neck as well. When Henrick saw that his son’s eyes were already rolling back on his reddened face, the master of the Quartermain family knew that his threats meant nothing to Gerald. Rather reluctantly, Henrick then released Jessica’s neck before replying, “…Fine! Let’s exchange our hostages at the same time then!” Hearing that, Gerald knew that he had to play along. Releasing Yesirn’s neck as well, both Gerald and Henrick began slowly walking toward each other, making sure to have a firm grasp on their hostages’ backs. Once they were close enough, the two men released their grasps at the same time, allowing Yesirn and Jessica to beg

“So you managed to take my first blow! Very well, then! Let’s see if you can take another!” snorted Henrick as he took two steps back. Following that, Henrick waved his hands slightly before shouting, “Holy Flaring Fist!” Immediately after, his right fist was set ablaze! Wasting no time, the master of the Quartermains then began charging toward Gerald! Seeing that, Gerald quickly yelled, “Herculean Armor!” Sneering at the shield that Gerald had just put up, Henrick then mocked, “Just give it up! There’s no way you’ll be able to stop this attack!” A split second later, a thunderous sound ensued as a blazing fire collided against Gerald’s shield! Since the flames were able to bypass Gerald’s Herculean Armor, Gerald instantly felt the pain of his skin being burnt! He hadn’t expected Henrick’s attack to be this powerful! Had Gerald’s body not possessed such ample amounts of essential qi, Gerald knew for a fact that the attack could’ve very easily turned him into nothing but ash

“Oh? Why is that?” asked Gerald rather curiously “Well, you see, Henrick hasn’t completed his training on the Five Blazing Dragons attack! He’s still one level short! With that in mind, the only reason you ended up getting this seriously hurt is because he’s already entered the Sage Realm! Though I can see that you’re already nearing the end of the Rune Realm, I don’t think I have to remind you that a Ninth-rank Chakra King and a Sage’s power is still vastly different!” explained the tree spirit. “…So… that attack wasn’t what hurt me? I only got all these injuries due to our strength difference?” asked Gerald rather quickly. “That’s right! If you need further proof, being hurt by a fully mastered Five Blazing Dragons attack would’ve definitely reduced you to nothing but dust! The fact that you’re still in one piece says a lot about that!” replied the tree spirit. “…I see. Still, you appear to know quite a bit about the attack and even Henrick… Who exactly are you, if you don’t

The way Nori had said it, it was almost as though she was afraid that Gerald would end up going back on his word. Sensing that, Gerald looked at her with determined eyes before saying, “Don’t worry, I always keep my word! After all, a person who lies is nothing but a coward!” Following that, Gerald alternated his gaze between his sister and Nori before adding, “Alright, there’s still something I need to settle. With that said, I’m going to have to need both of you to continue waiting for me here for a little while. Don’t worry, once I return, we’ll leave this place together! Also, remember not to go out all willy-nilly and if needed, you can contact me with the sound talisman. The second it’s activated I’ll rush back immediately!” “…What? You’re heading off again, Gerald? But where to?” asked Jessica in a worried tone. After all, to think that they had to part ways again so quickly after reuniting! “Don’t worry, sister! I’ll definitely make a safe return! Just know that there a

After Gerald declared that, a furious roar could be heard as the youth summoned five fiery dragons, each shining in blindingly golden light! However, Gerald wasn’t done. Following that, all five dragons merged to form a blast of fire and light that then shot out toward Henrick! Unable to avoid the attack, Henrick was instantly turned to ashes the second the flames engulfed him! Though the rest of the Quartermains were instantly terror-stricken, they barely had any time to react as the attack began aiming for them as well! Soon enough, the entire manor was set ablaze, and all that remained of the Quartermains were their ashes… This was the true power of the finalized Five Blazing Dragons… Everything within thirty feet of it would simply crumble! Regardless, now that the Quartermains had been completely eliminated, Gerald began making his way out of Bario City. While he was glad to have helped Roman fulfill his dying wish, Gerald was well aware that news of the Quartermain’s
