Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1450

After Queena headed there, Gerald wasn’t even sure whether Zenny still remained…

It was a few days later when Gerald finally arrived at Langvern Mountain.

While he had anticipated for the place to be desolate, to his surprise, there was a long queue leading up to the mountain! With how crowded it was, Gerald was reminded of how the place had been like in the past before Master Ghost left.

‘What on earth is happening…? Could Master Ghost have returned…?’ asked Gerald as he walked up the mountain in his bewilderment.

The more he saw, the more surprised he became. After all, several people seemed to be standing respectfully all over the place, and there were even more of them kneeling in the direction of Langvern Church. With how devout each of them looked, they looked similar to loyal followers who had undergone a millennia of baptism.

Feeling slightly amused, Gerald simply shook his head slightly with a wry smile on his face.

Before he was able to proceed any further, someone suddenly shouted, “You there! Stop where you are!”

Turning around to see who had called out to him, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of an angry-looking woman—in her twenties—who had her hair tied in a ponytail.

Looking at the woman—who had both her hands against her waist—Gerald then smiled subtly before asking, “Do I know you, miss?”

“Let me do the questioning first! Why were you smiling while looking at my kneeling grandpa? Was that mockery I sensed?” asked the woman as she frowned.

Truth be told, she had already noticed Gerald for a while. After all, while the others had been respectfully lining up at the base of the mountain—either standing or kneeling—not only did this guy just walk straight up, he had done so with an indifferent expression on his face! And now he was displaying a bitter smile!

While she had heard about people who preferred doing things their way instead of following societal norms, this was her first time meeting such an unconventional person! What more, he had even placed himself above her grandfather! How couldn’t she be angry?

“I wasn’t mocking your grandfather. I was simply wondering why you were all kneeling here at Langvern Mountain despite the fact that all of you look prestigious and powerful!” replied Gerald.

“You…! To think you’d still retort so rudely…! You’re definitely asking for it!” growled the wrathful woman, thinking that Gerald was mocking them again.

‘Who the hell do you even think you are? Since you’re so undaunted, I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!’ Thought the woman to herself as she swiftly lifted her arm to land a punch on him!

As she did so, her grandfather—and another middle-aged man who had been kneeling beside him—

both looked up.

The old man knew his granddaughter’s strength well. Both fast, and powerful, the woman’s strength alone was comparable to the strength of ten young men! With that in mind, her grandfather could only smile subtly as he thought, ‘This undaunted young man… He’s about to suffer a loss for sure…’

“It was merely a question… Either way, I don’t mind if you refuse to answer… Is there really a need to start a fight?” said Gerald with a wry smile as he shook his head after seeing her punch coming right at him. Instead of counter attacking or dodging, he simply turned around slowly before continuing to walk off. Such things were dull to him by this point.

Regardless, the second the extraordinarily strong girl’s fist came close enough to land, everyone found themselves instantly stunned when the attack simply brushed past Gerald’s body! Gerald’s movements were so fluid that it almost seemed as though he was a martial arts director who had rehearsed that action for countless times! In fact, the maneuver was so skillful that it almost seemed like Gerald had only avoided the attack by coincidence!

“…W-what…?” muttered the woman, filled with incredulity that her punch could miss.

By that point, everyone who had witnessed the scene—including her grandfather and the middle-aged man—found their eyes widened in disbelief as their breathing hastened.

“S-sir! Please, stop…!”
