Chapter 1453
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1453 ââ¦Oh? Thereâs actually someone who dares doubt me?â said Master Crawford as he squinted his eyes at the direction where Gerald and the others were.
At the same time, many of the people in the large hall were staring at Gerald with bewildered gazes.
After all, saying such a thing was akin to Gerald courting death!
Gerald himself could only display a bitter smile. Since things had already gotten to such a state, there was no point in beating around the bush anymore. With that in mind, he decided that itâd be better for him to just straightforwardly reveal his true thoughts.
âIndeed. Regardless, youâll have to forgive me for being rather blunt, but your remarkable skillsâ¦
Theyâre honestly nothing but simple tricks that barely have any functions at all, Master Crawford!â
replied Gerald.
The second his sentence ended, a huge ruckus instantly erupted! For a person to doubt the master like that⦠He truly was asking for death!
Master Crawford himself now felt his eyelids twitching slightly. To think that he was being humiliated in public, and during his disciple selecting process, no less!
Watching as Master Crawford slowly stood up, Perlaâwho had been standing quietly at the side for a whileâexcitedly said, âLook! Master Crawfordâs about to demonstrate his power!â
While she had to admit that the strange, young man was much stronger than her, in the end, he looked to only be around the same age as her. With that in mind, she wasnât convinced that Gerald deserved the respect that her grandfather was giving to him, and she hoped that once Master Crawford was done with him, her grandfather would share her sentiment.
Regardless, Master Crawfordâs actions had caught the full attention of several people by this point.
âWho even is this mad person? How dare he doubt Master Crawford!â
âI know, right? How undaunted! Someone like him will only come to regret things when heâs close to dying!â
The scowls had come from a few old men who couldnât bear seeing Master Crawford get humiliated.
As the old men continued bombarding him with scowls, Master Crawford himself simply narrowed his eyes before shaking his head and saying, âI wonât make things too difficult for you, young man. Just kneel before me with your forehead against the ground. Once you admit to your mistake, Iâll allow you to leave the hill unscathed!â
âYou truly are the bigger man for being so forgiving, but I feel you should still teach this guy a lesson, master!â shouted someone from within the crowd.
âIs there a need to admit to a mistake if what I said was the truth? Look, the only true master of this church is the previous one. With that said, I dislike the notion of you being here since all youâre doing is humiliating Langvern!â replied Gerald casually.
âHow utterly imprudent! It seems like youâll truly remain undaunted till I teach you a proper lesson! I hope you realize that youâve only made things more difficult for yourself! With that said, youâre only allowed to leave if you roll down the hill!â growled the furious Master Crawford as he raised his right hand.
Out of nowhere, a compassâwith a golden dragon engraved on itâappeared on his hand, and the second it did, Master Crawford instantly began reciting a chant. Once he was done, he muttered an order⦠and just like that, the entire hall began trembling despite the lack of any strong winds!
âBy god!â Thought everyone within the hall as they watched the tables and chairs shake wildly!
Even the old men from before were terrified, and with eyes reddened with shock, one of them quickly shouted, âYou ignorant child! Youâve truly offended the master now! Hurry and kneel already!â
Terrance and the othersâwho had been standing at the sideâwere similarly frightened half to death by Master Crawfordâs skill, and they were all dripping beads of cold sweat for Gerald.
Gerald himself, however, simply shook his head with a bitter smile as he said, âIs that all, Master Crawford?â
By that point, Master Crawfordâs forehead was drenched with sweat. Though he wanted to create even more mayhem, no matter how much he tried, he couldnât seem to increase the intensity of all the shaking by much.
After staring at him for a bit longer, Gerald then shook his head before asking, âIs this what youâre trying to achieve?â
With a gentle wave, the compassâthat had been in Master Crawfordâs graspâinstantly flew into Geraldâs hand!
The compass now in his hands, Gerald began murmuring a barely audible chantâ¦
Before anyone could realize what was happening, an explosive sound was heard as the compass emitted a blinding light that painted the entire hall in a golden glow!
As if all that wasnât already shocking enough, an inhuman roar was soon heard, and everyone stared wide-eyed as a faint, but large golden dragon momentarily appeared above the compass!
Screams filled the area as a twister showed up out of nowhere as well! What a dramatic change!
