Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1977
Upon seeing that, Johnnyâs face immediately went pale. To think that Gerald was this powerful⦠How unexpected!
âWho the hell are you?! State your name!â growled Johnny as he glared daggers at Gerald.
âAs if you even have a right to know my name!â retorted Gerald, a wry smile on his face. As if heâd reveal his identity so easily when he wasnât even from this world!
Hearing that, Johnny couldnât help but feel disappointed. Still, he knew that he and his men were no match against Gerald. Johnny, for one, was well acquainted with the saying, âA wise man never continues fighting when the odds are clearly against him.â
With that in mind, Johnny then yelled, âMen! Retreat!â
Hearing that, the four men obeyed and quickly fled the scene with Johnnyâ¦
Once they were out of sight, Gerald walked toward Zianne, helping her up as he asked in a concerned tone, âAre you alright⦠2?â
Now that he was standing so close to her, Gerald couldnât help but feel that she looked absolutely beautiful⦠Even so, he knew better than to have feelings for her. After all, he was already married to Mila, and he would never forgive himself if he cheatedâ¦
Either way, Gerald snapped out of it when the blushing Zianne shook her head before saying, âI-Iâm fine⦠Regardless, thank you for saving me, young warrior!â Nodding in response, Gerald then asked, âSo⦠Why did they assault you?â
What was so special about Zianne that made five grown men want her dead�
âWell⦠Itâs because Iâm from the Whitehaar Abbey while theyâre from the Purplefog Abbey! Their abbey hates mine, which is why they attacked me!â explained Zianne.
Upon hearing that, Gerald began realizing just how complicated things actually were in this realmâ¦
After staring at Gerald for a while, Zianneâwho found his appearance and clothing to be quite foreign âcouldnât help but ask, âUm⦠If I may, where do you come from, young warriorâ¦2 You donât exactly look like youâre from around hereâ¦â
Hearing that, Gerald was momentarily at a loss, unsure of how to even reply.
After a brief awkward silence, Gerald came up with an idea, prompting him to say, âIâm⦠uhh⦠A traveler from a far-off land! I just happened to be passing by when I saw them attacking you, which is why I stepped in! The nameâs Gerald Crawford!â
âZianne Landis!â replied the woman, barely even registering that what Gerald had said was a lieâ¦
Realizing that he had managed to dodge a bullet, Gerald breathed a bit easier as he asked, âEither way⦠Where are you headed off to now, Miss Landis?â
âOh, Iâm going down the mountain to get some supplies in Heavenstar Town. What about you?â replied Zianne.
Chuckling in response, Gerald then said, âWhat a coincidence! Me too! Letâs head there together!â
Since Zianne was the first person he had gotten to know here, following her around would certainly be convenient. At the very least, he wouldnât end up getting lost.
Either way, upon hearing that, Zainne simply replied, âSure, why not?â
Following that, both of them began heading to Heavenstar Townâ¦
When they finally arrived, Geraldâs attire instantly became the talk of the town. After all, not only were they unfamiliar with this person, but his garments were completely different from theirs! The awkwardness of it all made Gerald consider changing his outfit to blend in better with the locals⦠After all, who was he to be dressed so differently?
