Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1154
After shouting in astonishment, Gerald immediately turned back to look at the old woman, prepared to
launch an attack.
However, before he was even able to take a step forward, Gerald suddenly felt all four of his limbs
weaken as a dizzy spell simultaneously swept through him.
‘What? But how is this possible?! I’ve long been immune to all poisons!’ Gerald thought to himself as
he slowly kneeled to the floor with one knee, his dizziness intensifying.
Seeing that, the old woman smiled wickedly as she slowly began walking toward him while saying, “I
can see that your physique is quite differentpared to ordinary people… However, do know that the
Dead Annies here were initially something different! Let’s just say that they’re a near-perfect counter
against you!”
Feeling that he was going to pass out soon if he didn’t do anything quickly, Gerald ced all his
remaining focus on using his divine thought to call out, ‘Dawnbreaker!’
Following that, the Dawnbreaker instantly shot out from his sleeve!
The old woman truly hadn’t anticipated that Gerald would actually have ast resort nned quite
literally under his sleeve. By the time she noticed the de flying right for her, however, she was
already toote to react in time.
Unable to dodge the attack, the Dawnbreaker ended up stabbing her right in her left arm, sending the
old woman toppling to the floor!
Strangely enough, the moment she fell down, the intense dizziness that Gerald had been experiencing
suddenly vanished!

‘…So it wasn’t poison that was causing my dizzy spell!’ Gerald thought to himself as he quickly
regained his power.
Thinking about it, Gerald soon deducted that the old woman hadunched a mental attack at him
instead of using actual poison, and that she had only used the pollen as some sort of medium. To think
that his mental power had been controlled by that old woman earlier!
While the old woman certainly appeared surprised, she quickly snapped out of it, getting to her feet and
running into a room!
Gerald himself made a dash to the door… Only to be greeted by the sound of shattering ss as the
old woman crashed through the room’s sole window and jumped into the open sea!
By the time he got to the window, the old woman was nowhere to be seen.
It was around then when both Chester and Yume slowly began regaining consciousness. Not long
after, even the Crawford bodyguards began boarding the ship.
Since he had earlier suffered a mental attack, Gerald’s face was still slightly pale as he ordered, “Take
Chester and Yume back to the ship… Also, begin a search around the area to locate an old woman!
She’s injured so she’ll definitely leave traces behind no matter what!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald’s guards immediately obeyed and began their search.
‘Still… Who even was she…? It’s almost as though she had been waiting for us here deliberately…
The fact that we bumped into her so close to where the king of the ocean’s pce is, makes her all the
more suspicious!’ Gerald thought to himself a little whileter as he looked out into sea.
‘…I wonder if she could have actually been trying to prevent us from entering the king of the ocean’s
pce… Then there’s her weapon of choice as well. While I could already tell that the flower was
special back when I saw it at grandpa’s ce, I would’ve never guessed that it had such a function…’
As soon as Gerald’s thought ended, the rm in the cabin of one the Crawford family’s ships began
ring.
Over tenrge Crawford ships had earlier been searching for the old woman around the area. With the
ring of the rm, it was apparent that they had finally located her.
Secondster, a bodyguard came running over to Gerald before excitedly saying, “The moment we saw
her, that old woman instantly dived deep into the ocean, Mr. Crawford! While we haven’t been able to
capture her, our sonar detector found that she was quickly swimming toward what seemed to be a
large metal building far beneath the waves!”
“I see. Then it’s probably a solid hunch to assume that the ce she’s currently headed to is the king of
the ocean’s pce. I’m cing you in charge of providing support for us while a few of us head down
there to have a look. Speaking of which, are the two of you alright?” asked Gerald as he turned to look
at Yume and Chester.
“I’m fine!” replied Chester though Yume simply nodded.
“Very well. ce the water repellent stones in your mouths and follow me below the waves then!”
With that said, all three of them then dived into the sea, swimming into its murky depths.
Since they had specialized electronic equipment with them, they were able to quickly and precisely
locate both the pce’s and the old woman’s location. With the help of the water repellent stones, the
trio was able to make their way deeper into the ocean rather quickly.
A short whileter, the three people arrived before a dark cave that had a rather small and narrow
opening, about half the size of an average adult…
