Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1496

The soul-shaking laughter boomed across the area for quite a while, and when Carlos was finally done, he placed both his hands against his waist in satisfaction, fully ready to devour his meal…

However, when he turned to look at Gerald again, he found himself instantly stunned.

He had assumed that Gerald wouldn’t have been able to block the magnificent power of his Roaring Laughter since the sound of it overpowered any other noise in the vicinity. Since that was the case, Gerald should have gone mad by this point.

Even so, not only was Gerald completely fine, but he even had both his hands in his pockets as he stared back at Carlos, completely unfazed!

“…H-how could this be…?!” muttered the old man to himself in utter disbelief.

Looking helplessly at the old man, Gerald took the chance to ask, “Look, Master Xenes, please refrain from laughing first… I just want to ask-”

However, Carlos—once again—cut Gerald off by immediately roaring in laughter again, this time even stronger than the last!

“Are you mental or something?!” grumbled the infuriated Gerald as he aimed at Carlos before flicking his finger at him!

It was a split-second later Carlos realized that a beam of light was coming straight for him! Immediately ending his laugh, Carlos attempted to resist the incoming attack, but he soon realized that it was far too late!

Following an explosive sound, Carlos found himself falling off the tree and landing hard on the ground!

After a brief moment, he looked up at Gerald in sheer bewilderment.

“T-that… What a strong move…!” stuttered the stunned old man.

Truth be told, Gerald had only attacked him just to make Carlos shut up for a moment. To ensure it wouldn’t be too much for the old man, he even made sure to only use a thousandth of his true power.

Regardless, not wanting Carlos to suddenly start laughing again, Gerald quickly said, “Look, calm down for a second and just let me finish my question! The way you’re laughing… You’re using a variation of the Roaring Lion martial arts skill, correct?”

“Y-yes…!” replied Carlos as he held onto his chest while scanning Gerald from head to toe.

“Thank god… If that wasn’t the case, I’d have thought you truly were a maniac with how insanely you kept laughing… Regardless, I’m guessing you were either trying to shock or knock me out with that annoying laughter!” said Gerald as he nodded understandingly.

“Speaking of which, how strong are you exactly…?” asked Gerald as he looked at Carlos.

“I-I’m a Third-rank master… And my title is Laughing Master! What about you?” asked Carlos, a lot more careful with his words now.

After all, Gerald’s attack from before was enough for Carlos to realize that the person standing before him now was extremely powerful, possibly much stronger than the old man himself! The fact that Gerald was being so composed only served to make Carlos even more terrified.

“I wonder about that myself, to be quite frank. Regardless, since you said that you’re a Third-rank master, you should be one of the people training to attain spiritual enlightenment, correct? Are you considered powerful?” asked Gerald rather curiously.

“…A-am I considered powerful…?” muttered Carlos as his heart instantly began beating wildly.

What utter nonsense! If he wasn’t powerful, why would so many people—who were training to attain spiritual enlightenment—label the Laughing Master as a living nightmare?!

‘Who exactly is this young man…?’ Wondered Carlos, finding Gerald to be extremely strange….

Whoever he was, Carlos found himself unable to reconcile with the fact that he was actually thinking about running away from this immature and inexperienced young man!

As Gerald thought about what Julian had previously told him—that Third-rank masters were considered to be the cream of the crop—Carlos’s face suddenly became enshrouded in darkness, leaving only his now scarlet eyes visible!

He wasn’t about to miss an opportunity to attack Gerald while he was off guard, and with that in mind, he roared wrathfully before rushing toward Gerald to make an attack!
