Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1981-1983

Chapters 1981.

A moment dumbfounded at hearing that, Fayth quickly flinched before saying,

"...Complicated."

"As he headed to Heavenstar City to obtain medicinal herbs, he was attacked by some men from Whitehaar Monastery! Had I not intervened to save him, your sect would definitely have received a huge loss in the form of your main disciple." Gerald.

With wide eyes, Fayth then turned to look at Zianne before asking, Fayth said,

"Is he telling the truth?"

"He did! The attackers were Johnny and his four friends from Whitehaar Abbey! If you need proof, just look at the wounds they gave me! After all, I was the one who invited the Crawford Warrior to show my appreciation for having saved me! Even so, I know I've made a mistake, so punish me if you feel the need!" Answer Zianne.

Hearing that, Fayth immediately calmed down before walking over to Zianne and helping her up.

Reversing their backs to Gerald, Fayth then removed Zianne's clothes - to the extent of her shoulders - before realizing that there were indeed bruises there. Zianne has told the truth!

Now that he realized this, Fayth immediately growled,

"I recognize this bruising pattern. It was caused by the Dark Cloud Palm attack, an attack exclusively used by Whitehaar's b*stards!"

Breathing in relief now that she knew that her master trusted her, Zianne took the opportunity to give Fayth a medicinal herb - which she had safely stored in the inner lining of her clothes - before saying,

"Pig-by the way... The herbs you told me to buy, sir!"

Nodding in response, Fayth then replied,

"thank you. After all, since you have already suffered enough, there will be no additional punishment! Come with me. And you too, good-natured soldier! We'll talk inside!"

Fayth, for example, was not an unreasonable person, and he made sure to throw apologetic gazes at Zianne and Gerald.

After hearing what their master said, the other disciples immediately began to leave the scene, although some stayed behind to help Yoona stand up.

Yoona herself had a bitter expression on her face. Thinking that Zianne will escape punishment.!

Whatever the case, Zianne and Gerald were immediately taken to the great hall of their monastery. As soon as he entered, Fayth took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to Zianne before saying in an attentive tone,

"Here, this will help treat your wounds. Apply it for a few days and your wound will be gone in no time!"

"Thank you sir!" Zianne answered almost instantly.

After that was done, Fayth then gestured for the two of them to sit down while asking, Fayth said,

"All right then. Now it's settled... May I know your name, young warrior?"

"I went with Gerald Crawford!" Answer Gerald.

"What a good name. Anyway, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before, Warrior Crawford! I hope you'll forgive me for that. Also, thank you for saving my oldest disciple today!"

Fayth said apologetically.

"Don't worry about that, Madam. I just do what's right. There's no way I can ignore the fact that five men attacked a single woman!"

Gerald's answer was rather simple.

"By the way, could it be that you are a stranger.? After all, from your speech patterns and appearance, you don't look like a local. In fact, you feel like you are not from our world! I wonder if I'm right about that." Ask Fayth.

"Well, let's just say I came from a far country!" Gerald replied with a chuckle.

"so... Whatever the case may be, I must admit that your skills are amazing. Can I know who your master is..?"

Said Fayth who seemed to be trying to probe further into his background. After all, how did such a young man reach such a high level of cultivation?

Chapters 1982.

"About that. My master told me not to reveal his identity to anyone. Therefore, I apologize in advance, Madam!"

Gerald replied as he came up with an excuse on the spot.

After all, there was no way he could tell her that she came from another world, right? Then again, even if he told her, she probably wouldn't believe him.

"I understand. Anyway, Zianne! Lead Warrior Crawford into one of our rooms so he can rest."

Fayth's orders, no longer try to pry any further.

Hearing that, Zianne quickly nodded before bringing Gerald out of the large hall. Soon, the two arrived at a small house.

This is where Gerald will spend the night. This was the first time a man had been allowed to spend the night in the monastery, so Purplefog's disciples were greatly shocked by their master's decision.

Still, they knew better than to question him, so they continued their day.

After a good night's rest, Gerald got up early to say goodbye to Zianne and Fayth. After all, he still had an important task to do, and he did not want to waste any more time here.

Moreover, he was the only male in the convent full of women, and knowing that made him feel even more awkward the longer he stayed there.

Whatever the case, after leaving the monastery, Gerald soon found a city known as Heavencloud City.

It was then that he realized that he had one big problem. He has no local currency! All he had was money that could only be used on earth and a dead phone that functioned like a brick now. How annoying!

Still, he remembered Zianne paying-for her clothes-yesterday with some blue stones. Those holy stones were probably the currency form of this world. But where can I get it? Without anything, he couldn't even buy breakfast for himself!

Just when Gerald was wondering how to solve this problem, the corner of his eye saw a skinny man - who seemed to be muttering every foul word in the book - being dragged into an alley by three other men. Here's the ticket for breakfast!

Quickly heading into the alley, Gerald noticed that the skinny man had already been beaten by the three! Immediately stepping into the alley, Gerald then shouted,

"Stop!"

"Huh? Who the hell are you? Get lost and take care of your own business!"

"I said it one last time. Stop this!"

Reply Gerald while pointing at them.

"You asking for trouble, son? All right then! Let's beat him!"

Shouted one of the men, prompting the three of them to charge towards Gerald!

Although outnumbered, it did not change the fact that these people were nothing to Gerald. It hardly took a second to hit the three of them to the ground!

Think that Gerald's this strong... If they had known earlier, they would not have provoked him in the first place!

Whatever the case, once they finished groaning in pain, the leader of the group looked towards Gerald before pleading,

"Please let us go, brother.! We know we've made a mistake so please let us go."

Pouting in response, Gerald simply warned,

"If I catch the three of you bullying others again, I'll make sure to chop off your heads!"

"Hard and clear!"

The three of them whimpered as they quickly fled. None of them dared to stay there longer for fear that Gerald would suddenly change his mind.

Chapters 1983.

With the trio now gone, Gerald then walks up to the skinny man and helps him stand up.

"Thank you for saving me, brother.! I, Yale Zachrey, owe you a debt of gratitude!" Said the man.

"Don't worry about that. I happen to see you being bullied as it passes by, and there's no way I'm going without helping! Anyway, if you feel indebted, why don't you buy me breakfast instead and we'll call it balanced?"

Gerald replied with a smile as he patted Yale on the back.

Although he was momentarily surprised by the simple request, Yale quickly pulled him in before nodding as he said,

"of course! By the way, I should call you, what brother?"

"You can call me Gerald!"

"understand! I'll call you brother Gerald then! Also, you don't seem to be a local. Where are you from, brother Gerald..?"

Yale asked who already knew that Gerald was no ordinary person. After all, aside from his overwhelming strength, Gerald also looked somewhat different from the others in the city.

Chuckling in response, Gerald simply replied,

"Indeed! Let's just say I'm a traveler from afar!"

"I saw!"

Yale said, in no way doubting Gerald's statement.

Afterwards, Yale took Gerald to a food stall - by the side of the road - and ordered him some bread and a bowl of noodles.

After quickly finishing his breakfast, Gerald looked at Yale as he asked, Gerald,

"Say... Do you know how to get a holy stone quickly?"

"Hm? You need them?"

Yale replied slightly surprised, not expecting the question.

"Yes, I ended up spending all of mine, which is why I asked you to buy me breakfast! While I now have breakfast, I still need more holy stones for my next meal!"

Gerald murmured, feeling a little embarrassed. Even though it was mostly a lie, he couldn't just tell Yale that he was from the earth! The secret must be guarded.

"so. Well, there's one place, though I'm not sure if you want to go!"

Yale muttered after hesitating for a moment.

"Oh? And what place is that?"

"yeah. It's a casino in town! You can definitely get the holy stone quickly there, even though it will be through gambling. Still, I will say it now that you will need a little skill or you will just lose more holy stones!" Obviously Yale.

Hearing that, Gerald realized how similar the casino of this place was when compared to the regular casinos of the earth. Well, aside from the various forms of currency. However, the way casinos are run is almost the same.

Regardless, he knew that gambling was his best chance to obtain many holy stones quickly. With a unanimous decision, Gerald then said,

"All right, lead me there! By the way, can you lend me some holy stones? I'll pay it back to you once I get big!"

After all, he couldn't gamble without having a holy stone in his hand, and he also didn't really know anyone else who was willing to help him.

Either way, upon hearing Gerald's request, Yale hesitated for a moment before putting his hand into his pocket and taking out a single holy stone.

"I don't have too much so I can only lend one to you!" Yale Muttered.

"One is many!"

Gerald replied with a firm nod as he picked up the sacred stone.

Gerald is no stranger to gambling. To be honest, he was a pretty competent gambler! With that in mind, he had no doubt that he would win big at the end of the day!
