    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1454


    Almost everyone in the hall was now screaming in utter terror.


    While the old men from before could almost feel their eyeballs popping out in their shock, the


    bbergasted Pe herself was barely able to keep her mouth closed.


    The scene happening before them now was truly difficult to swallow…!


    “…A-amazing…!” stuttered Master Crawford as he fell feebly to the floor, now entirely drenched in


    sweat.


    With a slight flick of Gerald’s wrist, the golden light disappeared and everything became peaceful


    again.


    Turning to look at thepass, Gerald deduced that it was simply a simple magic artifact that, upon


    activating, was capable of disying terrifying images.


    While that was the case, since Master Crawford hadn’t trained his mind for it to be steady enough, he


    wasn’t able to use thepass to its full extent. Knowing that only increased Master Crawford’s


    humiliation.


    Smiling subtly, Gerald then tossed thepass aside before looking at the master whose gaze had


    turned bleak by this point.


    “Now then… Who exactly gave you the courage to deceive all these people?” dered Gerald.


    As everyone in the hall quivered from Gerald’s authoritative voice, Master Crawford—who was clearly


    the recipient of Gerald’s question—dropped to his knees before replying, “P-please don’t be angry,


    master…! I was told to wait for a young man here… As for why I used my magic, it was because that


    same person who told me to wait ordered me to protect the Feng Shui of this ce and continue


    burning incense here…!”


    The second his sentence ended, several hissing sounds could be heard as multiple people in the hall


    drew in cold breaths.


    “A young man? Do you have a name?” asked Gerald who already had a good guess of what was


    happening.


    “G-Gerald Crawford! I was told to wait for that young man!” replied Master Crawford quickly.


    “And who was it who told you to wait for him? Also, what’s your real name?”


    “I-it was my great aunt! And I go by the name of Gus Linstone…!”


    After hearing all that Gus had to say, everyone found themselves immensely shocked. However, their


    shock quickly turned into rage as they took turns ring at Gus.


    Following that, they then turned to respectfully look at Gerald who now looked more like a deity than


    anything.


    Gerald, however, wasn’t going to waste any more time.

    “Order everyone to descend the hill, right this instant!” instructed Gerald.


    “R-right away…!” replied Gus as he quickly began driving everyone out.


    Soon enough, only Terrance and a few others remained.


    Before Gerald could ask Gus for more details, he watched as Terrance knelt before respectfully saying,


    “Master, I have a request…!”


    As the middle-aged man from before knelt as well, Gerald observed the duo for a while. To think that


    the old man was willing to do this despite already having one foot in the grave…


    Truth be told, Gerald hadn’t found that old man annoying from the very beginning, so he simply asked,


    “What is this about?”


    “While my granddaughter has always been rather naughty, she’s always had the heart to train.


    Unfortunately, she hasn’t been able to find a suitable teacher at all… Now that we’ve witnessed your


    remarkable skills, however, I feel that you’d be the perfect teacher for her…! With that said, I hope


    you’re willing to take her under your wing!” replied Terrance, his eyes now teary and reddened.


    “…Her?” said Gerald with a frown.


    Looking at Gerald’s frown, Pe instantly found herself blushing. After all, she now deeply respected


    and admired him after witnessing his true capabilities.


    “I’ll have to refuse!” added Gerald as he shook his head.


    “B-but why, master…!” asked Terrance rather desperately as Pe felt herselfe close to crying.


    “She has a terrible temper typical of a rich, youngdy! That simply won’t do!” replied Gerald as he


    casually waved his hand.


    “I-I can change…! I’ll drop this bad attitude immediately…!” eximed Pe.


    “Change? Haha! If you say so… Look, since you like making things so difficult for people and you think


    you can just drop that temper of yours all willy-nilly, why don’t you head to the square and bark like a


    dog three times? If you do it properly, I’ll consider taking you under my wing! If you don’t, then just get


    off the hill like the others already!” retorted Gerald.


    Preupied with so many things, Gerald really wasn’t in the mood to take in any disciples.


    In fact, had it not been because the old man had knelt before him, Gerald wouldn’t even have bothered


    listening to his request.


    Regardless, he felt that what he had told Pe to do was the easiest way for him to get her off his back.


    To his surprise, however, Pe only hesitated for a brief moment before dashing toward the square…
