The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1982
âAbout that⦠My master told me never to reveal his identity to anyone⦠Due to that, I apologize in advance, Madam!â replied Gerald as he came up with an excuse on the spot.
After all, there was no way he could tell her that he had come from another world, right? Then again, even if he did tell her, she probably wouldnât have believed himâ¦
âI understand⦠Regardless, Zianne! Lead Warrior Crawford to one of our rooms so that he can take a restâ¦â instructed Fayth, no longer trying to pry any further. Hearing that, Zianne quickly nodded before leading Gerald out of the great hallâ¦
Shortly after, the duo arrived at a small house⦠This was where Gerald was going to stay the night.
This was the first time a man had ever been allowed to stay the night in the abbey, so the Purplefog disciples were understandably surprised by their masterâs decision. Still, they knew better than to question her, so they simply went on with their dayâ¦
After a good nightâs rest, Gerald got up early to bid farewell to Zianne and Fayth. After all, he still had an important task to do, and he didnât want to waste any more time here.
Besides, he was the sole male in an abbey full of women, and knowing that made him feel increasingly awkward the longer he stayed there.
Whatever the case was, after leaving the abbey, Gerald soon came across a town known as Heavencloud Townâ¦
It was around then that he realized that he had one major issue. He didnât have any local currency! All he had on him was money that could only be used on earth and a dead phone that was as functional as a brick now⦠How annoying!
Still, he did recall Zianne payingâfor his clothesâyesterday with some blue stonesâ¦
Those holy stones were probably this realmâs form of currency. But where could he get them? Without any, he couldnât even buy himself breakfast! Just as Gerald was wondering how to get around this issue, the corner of his eye noticed a thin manâwho seemed to be muttering every profanity in the bookâgetting dragged into an alley by three other men.
This was his ticket to breakfast!
Quickly heading to the alley, Gerald saw that the thin man was already getting beaten up by the trio!
Immediately stepping into the alley, Gerald then shouted, âHalt!â
Hearing that, the men then turned around⦠But when they saw Gerald, they didnât look afraid at all. In fact, they had scowls on their faces as they yelled, âHuh? Who the hell even are you? Get lost and mind your own business!â
âIâm saying it one final time. Stop all this!â retorted Gerald as he pointed at them.
âYou asking for trouble, kid? Fine then! Letâs beat him up!â yelled one of the men, prompting all three of them to charge toward Gerald!
Despite being outnumbered, it didnât change the fact that these men were nothing before Gerald.
It barely took him a second to pummel all three of them to the ground!
To think that Gerald was this strong⦠If they had known earlier, they wouldnât have provoked him in the first place! Whatever the case was, once they were done groaning in pain, the leader of the group looked up to Gerald before begging, âP-please spare us, big brotherâ¦! We know weâve done wrong so please let us goâ¦!â
Scoffing in response, Gerald simply warned, âIf I ever catch you three bullying others again, Iâll make sure to have your heads.â
âL-loud and clear!â whimpered all three of them as they quickly bolted awayâ¦
None of them dared to stay there for a second longer for fear that Gerald would suddenly change his mindâ¦
