    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1457


    “You truly have good judgment, Master Crawford… It was about half a year ago when I bumped into


    that exceptional person… My family has always revered martial arts skills, you see, and I have a lot of


    disciples who serve as my subordinates… Regardless, the exceptional person was hired by our


    family’s enemy to assassinate me in secret. After all, with me gone, my family would certainly fall into


    ruin! Still, that person was extremely powerful… Despite owning over twenty exceptional subordinates,


    none of them could even get close to that immensely skillful man!”


    “Eventually, my son and dozens of bodyguards had to risk their lives to allow me to escape with my life


    intact. However, even though I managed to run far, I still ended up getting attacked and injured by his


    essential qi! Even though the essential qi had only brushed against me gently, I still ended up almost


    dying on the spot!” exined the old man, fear reflected in his eyes.


    It was evident that the incident had left a psychological scar on Terrence, and Gerald simply nodded in


    understanding. After all, he, of all people, knew that there was a vast difference between people who


    owned essential qi and ordinary folk.


    Even so, there was an unwritten rule stating that those who owned essential qi weren’t allowed to


    interfere too much in the affairs of ordinary people. Since the rule was mostly abided by, this was


    honestly the first time Gerald had heard about such an incident.

    As he thought about it, Gerald remembered his uncle telling him—a while back—that the most powerful


    people didn’te from cryptic families, even though cryptic families were known to be extremely


    powerful within certain areas. Regardless, those from such families were far from being the cream of


    the crop.


    After all, he hade across locals before who had truly trained themselves to achieve spiritual


    enlightenment. Despite noting from Jaetra, they had essential qi, simr to his uncle’s.


    With that in mind, the world truly was an enormous ce… Gerald was no longer as ignorant as he


    had been in the past anymore… He now knew that his enemies from before were far from being at the


    top of the world…


    “Regardless, following that, my family’s properties were snatched away from me, Master Crawford!


    Unable to do anything on my own, I’ve ced all my hope on my granddaughter… That’s why I was so


    willing to kneel here… I was hoping that Master Crawford of the Langvern Church would take her in as


    his disciple. With any luck, she’d be able to be a person who truly managed to train herself to


    achieve spiritual enlightenment…” added Terrence.


    “I see… Still, you have to take things slow when ites to things like these. Here, I’ll help you cure


    your internal injuries first!” said Gerald as he checked the condition of Terrance’s heart.


    Realizing that he hadn’t been lying, Gerald thought about how miserable the man must currently be.


    Adding that to the fact that Gerald had taken Pe as his disciple, he knew he had to at least pay some


    respect to Terrance.


    With that in mind, Gerald then activated his golden eye to begin treating Terrance’s wounds.


    ording to what Terrance had said, the Sherwins were once a rich and prestigious family in the


    Jenna Province. However, some trouble that had happened about half a year ago caused the entire


    family to go downhill. With only a fewpanies left in hand, the Sherwins were pretty much only


    comparable to a regr family now.


    Either way, after both Gerald and Zenny closed off Langvern Mountain, the group then headed over to


    the Sherwin family’s manor.


    Upon arriving, Terrance made sure to give it his all when it came to taking care of Gerald. The old man


    also made sure to send his subordinates out to inquire about Master Ghost’s whereabouts.


    Gerald himself made sure to look for Master Ghost as well.


    However, even after looking for some time across almost all the areas within the entire Jenna Province,


    Gerald was still unable to gain any clues about Master Ghost’s whereabouts!


    Even so, Gerald made sure to train Pe in the garden whenever he was free, simultaneously diligently


    training himself during those periods as well.


    It was sometimeter when Gerald realized something. To his bewilderment, the speed of his inner


    training had begun slowing down for some unknown reason!


    What more, something strange was also happening to his body. Five discs had appeared on his elixir-


    of-life field, and they were arranged in an orderly manner in five different colors. Constantly revolving


    around that area, they truly were strange, even to Gerald. While Gerald did attempt to touch them using


    the power of his thought, they didn’t respond at all.


    “They’ve been in my body for five days now… What even are they…? If only Z was here… She’d


    surely know about this!”


    At the start of it all, Gerald had noticed a few colorful spots appearing within his elixir-of-life field.


    However, Gerald hadn’t paid much attention to that at the time.


    Now, however, he could no longer ignore them. After all, they had clearly turned much more mature


    now, and they had developed some kind of scope.


    While he had no clue what was going on, Gerald wasn’t the kind of person who would allow himself to


    remain idle. Since Z wasn’t by his side, he constantly found himself looking into his imnted


    memories, hoping to find some answers there. After all, he had a sneaking suspicion that at least one


    of those memories must have had a direct connection to the colorful disks.


    At that moment, Gerald heard a knock on the door as Pe’s voice called out, “Are you still training,


    master…?”
