Chapter 1471

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1471

“A fortune-teller…? Wait, I think I remember. He was an old man, right? The one we met when we were on an outing?”

“That’s the one!” replied Xyrielle with a nod.

“Hahaha! That guy was funny… I remember him saying something along the lines of, ‘Your heartbeat will immediately hasten the second you meet the love of your life!’” said Xaverie, recalling that event.

It was only a second later when she suddenly froze. Dropping her jaw, she then looked at Xyrielle in disbelief before adding, “You… can’t be serious, right…? That was the guy who ended up touching your heart?”

After nodding shyly at her friends—who were all staring at her with questioning looks—Xyrielle paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, “…While it’s true that my heart thumped a little, I don’t think that he’s the one… After all, that fortune-teller had said that my lover would have very unique life experiences. My lover would also be extremely skillful and have near-unparalleled abilities!

A true hero! With that said, while that guy from before was definitely a gentleman, he’s far too thin and fragile-looking! Due to that, I don’t think that he’s the one!”

“Heh! When you put it that way, I have to agree! With that said, I’m sure you simply misinterpreted your feelings earlier. Regardless, I won’t deny that that guy was pretty handsome and honest-looking… I’ll be frank and say that while I’d love for such a person to be my husband, I definitely wouldn’t want him as a boyfriend! As you saw earlier, I just couldn’t help but want to tease him! Either way, don’t think too much into it, Xyrielle! Just wait for your great hero to appear!” replied Xaverie with a laugh.

“You’re so mean!” joked the girls among themselves as they laughed as well.

Just as they were about to leave, however, a commotion—mostly consisting of awe-filled screams from girls—could suddenly be heard coming from the campus’s main road.

Turning to look in that direction, the girls were greeted by the sight of a crowd quickly gathering around a luxury car that was slowly making its way inside. What on earth was all that about…?

Stopping a student who was running toward the crowd to join in on the excitement, Xaverie then asked what was happening.

“What? Don’t you girls know about Young Master Laidler? He’s the coolest interim student around! Not only is he handsome, but he’s also very powerful and comes from a distinguished background!” said the student in a tone that suggested that she was his biggest fan.

“Oh? Is he that amazing? And how powerful are we talking about here?” asked Xaverie.

“I guess I’ll just give you a rundown on who he is! His real name is Stetson Laidler, and he’s a very prestigious individual both domestically and internationally. Now, regarding his power… There’s a rumor that states that he was able to kill a tiger at the age of twelve, simply by pointing at it! With rumors like that spreading around, it’s no question why he’s considered to be a legendary person!”

Before the girls could ask her anything else, she had already run off to join the crowd!

“Bloody hell! To think that such a person actually exists! I do wonder if he’s one of those extraordinary people whom you mentioned back when we were at your house the other day, Xyrielle…” exclaimed Xaverie in her astonishment.

Due to some circumstances, such things were no longer a secret to them.

“I doubt it. After all, father told me that those people are extremely secretive about their identities. With that said, I feel that Young Master Laidler isn’t one of them since he’s appearing in such a high-profile manner,” replied Xyrielle.

“…Hold on. Xyrielle! Do you think that Young Master Laidler could be the love of your life? After all, not only does he have a very special background, but he’s also apparently extremely powerful and skillful!

The fortune-teller could’ve very well been referring to him, right?” exclaimed Xaverie.

Hearing that, Xyrielle instantly lowered her head shyly.

Ignoring her reaction, Xaverie simply tugged on Xyrielle’s arm while saying, “Come on, let’s go see what Young Master Laidler looks like!”

When they got there, they were just in time to see the tall man getting out of the car.

With long hair and a thin figure, Stetson seemed to have a perpetual sharp gaze in his eyes. To be quite frank, he looked like he had just stepped out from some anime. He certainly felt like an anime character as well. After all, from what everyone could tell, looking deeper into his past would definitely be intimidating due to all his legendary experiences.

“You know, they say that Young Master Laidler is from the Xyshore Border, and he’s the eldest young master of the prestigious and influential Laidler family! I’ve also heard that he’s been receiving special training in a valley ever since he was a child… I wonder if you’ve heard about this, but a few years ago, a massive discussion about the training boy took place. However, all of the discussions were quickly deleted, leading everyone to believe that the rumors were fake. With that said, I truly hadn’t expected all that to be true! As it turns out, the training boy truly does exist!”

“I heard of that incident too! After all, the training boy was quite famous on the internet back then. The fact that he’s now a teen checks out with that rumor! Still, I do wonder what he’s doing here in the Jenna Province… He couldn’t have come all the way here just to study, right…?”
