Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1452
After casually saying that, Gerald then continued walking, not even bothering to turn around.
“Are… you planning to head up there, master…?” asked the old man.
“Indeed!”
“While it’s true that you’re quite remarkable, there are many rules to Langvern Mountain… If you still wish to head up there, why not wait here for a while? After all, it’ll soon be my family’s turn—the Sherwins—to head up there! Why not go with us?” suggested the old man.
Hearing that, Gerald then thought, ‘That’s not a bad suggestion. Since they’re planning to go visit Master Gerald Crawford anyway, I may as well follow them. After all, it’ll be easier to do that compared to fighting my way in. Still, I wonder how capable that master truly is…’
Seeing Gerald nod in agreement, the old man then said, “It’s settled, then! Speaking of which, I go by Terrance Sherwin! It’s a pleasure to meet you, master!”
After exchanging pleasantries and casually talking about a few other things, Gerald and the trio entered Langvern Church together.
From what the Terrance had told Gerald, the reason why this place was so lively now was because not too long ago, a supposedly authentic video of an old man controlling and riding a sword—that flew through the forest and even across a river—suddenly began spreading around the inner circles of powerful people in the business field.
What more, the old man apparently cured a rich businessman as well. Due to that, he ended up getting extremely famous.
Following that, he took in a few disciples, and that was around the time the business was established. Things then went smoothly for a while. A few days ago, however, the old man suddenly announced that he was willing to take in a few more disciples, though they would first have to be personally assessed by him.
All that eventually led to the current turn of events.
After hearing Terrance’s explanation, it was now evident to Gerald that most of the people here had come in hope of becoming one of the master’s new disciples.
Regardless, the four people were only a few steps in when they saw a person being driven out while a voice shouted, “Save me the effort and just leave! With such limited talent and quite worrying levels of intelligence, I simply can’t accept you as my disciple!”
Naturally, the person who was driven out looked rather dispirited.
“…Is he truly capable of controlling swords and flying on them…?” muttered Gerald to himself, now clearly doubtful about what Terrance had earlier told him.
It was at that moment when Master Crawford’s voice could be heard asking, “What’s all this noise about, then?”
Those from Perla’s group had been speaking quite loudly, which was why Master Crawford was now looking at them with a rather bleak expression on his face.
“Apologies, Master Crawford, but this man here just doubted your strength!” said Perla as she pointed at Gerald while smiling smugly.
Hearing that, Terrance was instantly stunned. However, that feeling quickly turned to anger as he shouted, “Perla! What on earth are you talking about?!”
While it was true that anyone who had witnessed Gerald’s performance earlier would feel that he was way stronger than Master Crawford, Perla was simply being too unruly! She didn’t even seem to care about the implication of her statement!
‘Powerful, aren’t you? If you’re so powerful then go out there and have a real fight! Let’s see how long you’ll last against an exceptional man like Master Crawford!’ Perla thought to herself.
