    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1153


    While both Chester and Yume had already been stunned, their jaws truly dropped the moment they


    saw Gerald leap toward the other ship!


    The moment Gerald’s foot touched the wooden ship’s surface, it instantly caused a huge wave to form


    as the ship bobbed up and down due to the impact of Gerald’snding!

    Eventually, the ripples slowed down and Gerald took the chance to begin looking around.


    From what he could see, it seemed to be an average-sized wooden ship that could amodate


    about forty to fifty people. It also seemed to have a bit of history to it.


    Stepping into the cabin, there seemed to be an old and torn curtain hanging outside the cabin’s


    windows. As a result, though it was quite sunny outside, the inside of the cabin remained quite dark.


    After looking around for a while, Gerald began trying to feel his surroundings. The force he had sensed


    surrounding the ship earlier was now nowhere to be found… It was odd, to say the least.


    With that, Gerald slowly drew the curtains before making his way deeper into the cabin.


    With partitions separating the rooms within the cabin, the corridor in the middle led to small guest


    rooms on either side of it.


    All of a sudden, the faint sound of footsteps could be hearding from the control cabin that was


    located at the ships’ bottom level. Someone was walking upstairs!


    With that in mind, Gerald stood motionless, looking around attentively until he finally saw who was


    making their way up the stairs.


    Gerald watched as a white-haired old woman with a stooped posture slowly swayed her body while


    ascending the steps. Aside from the fact that her clothes were old and torn and her hair was particrly


    messy, the woman’s most defining feature was the many scars that covered her face.


    In the dimly lit area, Gerald couldn’t help but admit that she seemed rather spooky.


    Regardless, he took the initiative by asking, “Good day, madam. May I know your name?”


    “Dead Annie!” replied the woman with a subtle smile. Despite her friendly gesture, Gerald found himself


    growing slightly nervous. After all, anyone who smiled with such a scar-filled face would definitely


    create slight feelings of unnerve among those who saw it.


    “…Come again? You said your name was Dead Annie, madam?” asked Gerald for confirmation.


    “Dead Annie! Two petals bloom and each petal represents a world!” replied the old woman in a rather


    mysterious manner.


    Gerald found himself raising a slight brow as he heard her talking about some mysterious nt. A


    flower that only bloomed two petals… Why did that sound so familiar? Thinking about it, he knew he


    hade across such a nt before. After all, natural flowers with only two petals were rare, so he


    would definitely remember if he had seen one before. But where?


    The more Gerald stared at the woman, the odder he felt.


    At that moment, he heard someone shouting, “Sir! Here you are!”


    Turning around to look, Gerald saw that both Chester and Yume had boarded the ship as well.


    “Why did both of youe here?” asked Gerald.


    “Well, since you’ve been gone for quite some time and we heard nothing from you, we got slightly


    worried!” replied Chester as he and Yume immediately began scanning the old woman—who was now


    staring at the end of the corridor—from head to toe.


    While Chester immediately let out a frown, Yume began smoothening her hair, though Gerald could tell


    that her breathing had grown slightly more rapid.


    “There’s nothing to worry about. For now, head back first!” ordered Gerald.


    Since Gerald still hadn’t been able to see through the extremely weird old woman, he was worried that


    both Yume and Chester would end up in danger if they remained here for any longer.


    The moment she heard him say that, however, the old woman suddenly beganughing coldly. Her


    laugh sounded almost raven-like, making it all the more frightening.


    Already feeling extremely anxious of herugh, Gerald’s unease peaked the moment he realized that


    several extremely weird-looking flowers had begun appearing—out of thin air—in the middle of the


    corridor.


    The flowers themselves each only had two petals, with each petal resembling a human’s face!


    It was at that moment when Gerald finally remembered where he had seen such flowers before.


    He had seen them in a garden back when he was at the Soul Pce!


    That garden on his grandfather’s ind had been specifically made to nt that breed of flower. Gerald


    remembered finding the flowers strange, so he had asked Welson more about them.


    ording to what Welson had told him, the flower bore no name. Seeds of the flower were found in the


    Western Regions, and they seemed to date back to ancient times. After attempting to nt it, they


    were sessful in making it bloom.


    Due to the nameless flowers naturally only blooming to have two petals, Gerald’s grandfather had


    decided to nt them in a garden, treating them as a living work of art.


    As it turned out, the flowers were called Dead Annies…


    Just as Gerald’s thought ended, he realized that fine pollen was starting to emerge from the flowers.


    The pollen spread a unique fragrance around, and as soon as Yume and Chester smelled it, they


    instantly began feeling dizzy. Soon enough, both of them lost consciousness and fell to the floor!


    “The pollen’s poisonous!”
