Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1506
Though Yaakov was muttering worriedly to himself, Xyrielle had admiration reflected in her eyes as she looked at Stetson. After watching all those battles, she felt as though she could finally see through that man.
As the fortune-teller had predicted, Stetson truly had immense martial arts skills and no ordinary person could ever come close to being compared to him…
Xaverie, on the other hand, found herself looking at Gerald slightly contemptuously before saying, “While Stetson is arrogant, he’s undeniably handsome! It’s no wonder why Xyrielle fell for him! Though I do wonder if you’ll get jealous of hearing me say such things! After all, I’m pretty sure you’re in love with her! Sadly enough, Stetson has all the strength and glory in the world! You simply don’t stand a chance!”
In response, Gerald simply grunted with a nod.
He had been preoccupied this entire time, observing each battle closely, wondering if anyone stronger than Stetson would show up.
After all, this was an extremely grand festival. It was impossible that only First, Second, and Third rank masters would attend, right?
‘There has to be someone more powerful than that attending!’ Gerald thought to himself.
That thought was the only thing keeping him from stepping forward yet.
As Yaakov smiled in resignation, Yule, on the other hand, was anxiously scratching the back of his head while looking from side to side as he muttered, “How immensely frustrating! Where could the master have gone? The festival is going to end soon!”
Seeing the crossed-armed Stetson—who had his eyes closed—standing atop the platform only served to further anger Yule, and he wasn’t the only one feeling taunted either.
‘That mother*cking guy really knows how to put up a show…!’
‘That condescending b*stard…!’
While these were the shared thoughts of many, nobody actually dared to teach him a lesson. Not that they were capable enough in the first place.
“Aren’t you being a bit too generous, Yaakov? Giving someone else the power to rule… Just cut the act! I’m bloody sure that you’re extremely reluctant to make that exchange! Aren’t I right, you b*stard?” taunted the sarcastic voice before continuing to laugh almost maniacally.
Hearing that, Yaakov’s face instantly reddened in embarrassment as he retorted, “Who the hell are you? Show yourself!”
The second he said that, he was immediately greeted by a tight slap to his cheek! He didn’t even see it coming, and he ended up toppling to the ground, his slapped cheek now extremely swollen…
“Oh? You still have no idea who I am…?”
Moments after that statement ended, everyone in the venue witnessed as an old man began falling from the ceiling…
And landing right atop the high platform.
