Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1612
Though the silhouette was extremely quick, Gerald was still able to see it through the corner of his eye… Realizing
that they weren’t alone, Gerald had a gut feeling that the person or thing dashing about was up to no good.
Not wanting Jessica or his parents to know about the figure’s presence—and potentially get worried or scared—,
Gerald then quickly said, “You know, it’s getting a bit late, wouldn’t you say? You should go ahead and get some rest
first, sis!”
“I guess… Don’t stay up for too much longer yourself, Gerald!” replied Jessica as she smiled warmly before
returning into the manor.
Once he was sure that she had entered, Gerald instantly leaped out of the manor and headed to the spot where he
had last been able to sense the shadowy figure’s presence. Upon arriving at the spot, Gerald stopped in his tracts

After standing there in silence for a while, Gerald eventually looked up at the trees surrounding him before
shouting, “Come out already! I know you’re close by!”
Almost immediately after, the rapid rustling of leaves could be heard as the silhouette from before dashed out from
one of the trees!
Noticing that it was charging toward him with a blade that glinted coldly in the moonlight, Gerald instantly stepped
aside to dodge the attack before attacking his assailant with his right palm!
By the end of it all, both of them managed to successfully launch their attacks, though neither of them got hurt…
“Who are you?” asked Gerald in a frigid tone.
“To think that someone at your age would be able to enter the Sage realm… What a promising future you show!
Regardless, at the rate of how fast your strength is growing, I have little doubt that you’ll be able to destroy the
Quantocks with ease!” replied the slightly surprised person in a rather devilish tone.
Squinting his eyes, Gerald then glared at the man in black as he said, “Again, who are you? If you’re worthy enough
then you should identify yourself as well as your intentions outright!”
“Hah! The truth is, you’re the one who isn’t worthy enough to know my identity yet! Regardless, I’ll at least let you
know that I was sent here under the orders of God Lord!” replied the man with a snicker.
Before Gerald could even ask him about any more details, the man in black bolted off! And just like that, his
presence was completely undetectable, gone in the dark of night…
Shortly after, Gerald heard Jade Infused Blade say from within his body, “Master, that man was strong…! He had to
at least have entered the Second-soul-rank of the Sage Realm!”
“…I see. Tell me, Jade Infused Blade, do you have any idea who that ‘God Lord’ that mysterious man mentioned

“I haven’t heard of him before, though from what I can guess, he must be from Jaellatra!”
So, it was just as Gerald had predicted… Quite a stir must have taken place following the death of the
Quartermains… The fact that this man had come all the way from Jaellatra to meet him was already a clear sign
that more trouble was imminent.
“Still, I could sense that that man wasn’t trying to fight you, master… From what I could see, it seemed like he was
just trying to test your abilities!” added Jade Infused Blade.
Gerald had assumed that as well. After all, the man hadn’t tried to do anything particularly fatal to him.
Understanding that there was a possibility that he was simply being tested, Gerald had made sure not to show too
much of his capabilities earlier. Due to that, hopefully the man didn’t manage to gather too much data.
“Well, if I want to know more about this, I guess I’ll just have to look for this ‘God Lord’ and ask him myself!”
muttered Gerald to himself as he casually looked in the direction where the man in black had run off to…
