Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1479

“N-no…! Stop…!” cried out Jenny, her face filled with tears by this point as she rolled on the ground in pain.

Finally realizing how much pain Jenny was in, Benson instantly released Gerald’s hand before running over to Jenny’s side.

“What’s wrong?!” asked Benson as he stared at the pale-faced Jenny who was unable to even try hiding the immense pain she was currently feeling.

“I-it hurts…! The pain alone makes me feel like dying…!” cried out Jenny.

Seeing that they were no longer trying to stop him from leaving, Gerald simply shook his head with a wry smile on his face before leaving together with Perla and Yul.

Meanwhile, Poppy found herself asking, “How could this have happened though? Why would you be in so much pain for no reason?”

“Beats me! Actually, didn’t any of you notice that Jenny’s chest only started hurting when Benson started exerting his strength earlier?”

“That sounds freaky! Speaking of which, hold on. Where even are they?” asked Benson—who was already drenched in cold sweat—as he got up in anger.

“I think they escaped since they were worried that we’d continue making things more difficult for them!”

said Poppy.

“What? They’re really asking for it this time…! I guess I’ll just have to get someone over to smash their car now so that they’ll know how great I truly am!” growled Benson as he fished his cell phone out and instantly got ready to make a call.

However, the second he was about to press the call button, he suddenly shrieked in pain!

Everyone could only stare wide-eyed at him as his cell phone fell out of his oddly stiffened hand before falling to the ground…

Benson himself couldn’t move an inch of his hand, and after about a second or two, his still-lifted hand suddenly began feeling an acute pain! It felt like it was being torn apart, and Benson was now in so much pain that he instantly began rolling on the ground, clutching onto his hand while shouting, “I-it hurts…! My arm hurts so much…!”

Meanwhile, Gerald and the others had already entered the manor as the underground parking lot fell into chaos.

“Is Jenny going to be alright, Master…? Was her pain because of you…?” asked Perla.

“She’ll be fine, and yes, I did that. I used a skill known as the Substitution Method!” explained Gerald.

“What does that do, master?”

“Essentially, it redirects damage inflections! For example, I transferred all the strength that the burly man had used on me earlier onto Jenny!”

Hearing that, Perla couldn’t help but laugh when she recalled the scene from earlier.

“Regardless, I only did that to punish them for their crimes. Hopefully, that’ll stop them from trying to commit even bigger crimes in the future! It certainly didn’t help their case when they made all those insulting remarks!” explained Gerald, shaking his head with a wry smile on his face.

Just as he turned his gaze to look at the crowd inside, he suddenly heard a woman’s voice saying, “…

Huh? You’re Gerald, right…? Xyrielle, look! It’s that guy again!”

Hearing that, Gerald immediately found himself thinking, ‘To think I’d actually run into these girls again… How frustrating…!’

Xyrielle herself could suddenly feel her heart palpitating again the second she saw Gerald… It couldn’t be, right…? But if the first time was just a coincidence, then why would her heart still beat so rapidly this time…?

Why on earth was her heart pumping so fast just because of this ordinary-looking person…? The more Xyrielle thought about it, the more puzzled and embarrassed she got.

Either way, just as she was wondering if she should greet him, screams and shouts could suddenly be heard coming from within the audience. Hearing that, those from within the crowd—Gerald included—

found themselves looking at the direction where the sound had come from…
