Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1509
The second the light hit the platform, an explosive sound ensued as large cracks began forming on the platform’s surface!

As everyone stared wide-eyed at the platform that had almost been split clean in half, the distinct sound of a blade being sheathed could be heard…

Following that, a middle-aged man wearing ninja-like garments stepped out of the clouds of debris.

Watching as the middle-aged man stared at him, Carlos found himself chuckling before saying, “So it’s you, Ghose!”

From that statement, it was made evident that he was acquainted with this person…

Regardless, the second Stetson saw him, he looked like he had finally attained a glimmer of hope as he shouted, “M-Master Ghose! Save me…!”

The ninja’s earlier attack had freed both Stetson and Xyrielle from Carlos’s grasps, and Stetson quickly used this chance to run over to Ghose, gritting his teeth as he glared back at Carlos once he was standing behind the middle-aged man.

His eyelids now twitching slightly, Carlos placed his hands against his waist, laughing out loud before saying, “Interesting! How very interesting! I would’ve never imagined that Ghose, the infamous elite ninja of Goldenslinger, would actually seek refuge from such a small family as the Laidlers! Do correct me if my guess was wrong!”

“You are correct, though in return, I have my own question for you. You, too, are a famous person who’s been training to attain spiritual enlightenment, no? Why would you make things so difficult for these juniors? If you truly wanted a worthy opponent, you could’ve just looked for me! Either way, as long as I’m here, know that you won’t be able to lay a finger on Young Master Laidler!” retorted Ghose, his pronunciation slightly off every once in a while.

Either way, it was evident that both of them were the best among the best, and their conversation alone was enough to create a strange and pressuring atmosphere that engulfed the entire underground area…

Expecting a large battle to commence between the two at any second, nobody dared to speak or even breathe too loudly…

However, much to everyone’s surprise, when Carlos finally opened his mouth again, he simply laughed before saying, “While I, Carlos, am a fearless man, it’s honestly way too much trouble for me to have to deal with the ninja of Goldenslinger. I’m sure you’re well aware that you don’t scare me, Ghose. Even so, I really don’t want to have to deal with any extra trouble from the Goldenslinger, at least not for the time being. With that said, I’ll leave Stetson alone today! Consider it as my way of paying respect to you today!”

After saying that, Carlos simply waved his hands slightly, a clear indication that he wasn’t going to continue giving Stetson any trouble for now.
As Finnegan—who was still standing below the stage—heaved a long sigh of relief, Carlos asked, “Speaking of which, are you going to help the Laidlers obtain the power to rule this time around?”

“I am, and if you’re planning to obtain it for yourself, I’m not against having a brawl with you!” replied Ghose as he delicately held onto the hilt of his katana.

Regardless, thinking about all this reminded Xaverie about Stetson.

‘I remember him closing his eyes as he stepped up that platform… It gave the illusion that he was some kind of exceptional man… Even so, I’m now convinced that he isn’t all that great. After all, every time he bumps into an opponent more powerful than himself, he ends up in such a pathetic state!’

Completely speechless as she thought about it, Xaverie suddenly remembered that Gerald was still beside her.

“…Hey, Perla’s your friend, right? Aren’t you anxious at all…?” asked Xaverie as she turned to look at him… Only to find that Gerald’s eyes were closed!

‘My god! Is he actually taking a nap at a time like this?!’ Xaverie thought to herself, now boiling mad as she gently began shaking Gerald’s shoulder.

The second Gerald opened his eyes, however, she momentarily saw two beams of light shooting out of them! How terrifying!
