Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1494
Despite things not going as smooth as he had liked, Gerald wasn’t feeling too worried yet. Worst case scenario,
Gerald would have to fight his way into the festival. Even with that in mind, however, Gerald still had a little
confidence that things would work out in the end.
As he thought about his next move, Gerald—who had been sitting at the rear seat with his eyes closed—suddenly
opened his eyes before ordering, “…Perla, stop the car!”
“…Huh? What’s wrong, master?” asked Perla, stunned.
Momentarily paying full attention to his surroundings, Gerald then replied, “…We’re being targeted by someone…
And it seems that the person isn’t too far away from us!”
“What? Could Yaakov have sent people over to kill us? What a b*stard!” growled Perla.

people I came across at the Waddys manor earlier, and as far as I could tell, I’m pretty sure that nobody there was
exceptional enough to bear such a strong aura,” explained Gerald, still focusing on the surroundings.
“Then allow me to stay back and help you, sir!” said Julian.
“There’s no need for that. Just leave together with Perla. I’d like to see who this person is first,” replied Gerald.
Before either of them could even reply, both of them watched as Gerald’s body disappeared from the car!
The night was dark and Gerald dashed all the way to a riverside which doubled as a moat for Jenna City.
Surrounded by dense forestry, Gerald listened intently to the gentle rustling of leaves above the many trees…
Someone was running atop them to move above ground.
Despite knowing that and being able to see the slight depression of leaves when they were stepped on, Gerald
wasn’t able to see the actual person at all. Not even their shadow.
All of a sudden, two distinct snaps were heard, and Gerald found himself tilting just in time to evade a leaf and a
branch that came shooting out of nowhere!
Both of them were moving so quickly and with such immense force that they honestly felt like laser beams. The
exact power of the attack was made evident when the two projectiles completely smashed a large tree—that was
thick enough for three adult men to hug—into pieces upon collision!
By the time the explosive sound had died down, Gerald found himself thinking that the assailant’s training wasn’t
really all that extraordinary…
Before he could ponder any further, Gerald was greeted by the hideous sound of devilish laughter.
“Stop laughing already and show yourself… I’m here, aren’t I?” replied Gerald casually.
Since the person had deliberately released his holy sense earlier, Gerald already had a hunch that he had

motives were.
After waiting patiently for a while, the strange laughter simply resumed. Simultaneously, a series of whirlwinds
suddenly formed around Gerald out of nowhere! What a strong aura!
Seeing that the assailant wasn’t keen on replying, the now slightly annoyed Gerald added, “Are you done yet?”
Following another roar of laughter—that would send chills running down anyone’s spine—from the darkness, a voice
finally replied, “You’re a young man, no? Have a bit more patience!”
Having had quite enough of the man’s games, Gerald furrowed his brows before rushing toward the direction he
sensed the man in…
And soon enough, he saw a white-haired old man—donning a black robe—standing at the very tip of a tree.
Seeing that Gerald had noticed him, the man then leaped before slowly descending—like some large bat—onto
another tip of a tree that was much closer to the youth.
Once he was there, the old man tilted his head backward before bursting into laughter again, the hideous sound
resonating across the entire forest…
