Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1501

Xylon — middle-aged man standing in front of — instantly became curious when he saw how young Gerald really was.

After all, despite the fact that his son had kept calling him with 'master' all along, Xylon could not imagine the young man as anything other than a truly ordinary one. Could it be that her son was somehow wrong ...?

While Xylon found himself thinking that, he still shook hands with Gerald rather kindly to express his gratitude.

However, after having a few more conversations with Gerald, Xylon—became an elderyou didn't want to start feeling a little insulting to him.

In any case, after inviting him to eat — and finishing it — Xylon took Gerald and the others on a walk around the manor to show their new master around.

During the meal, Xylon had mentioned a large and powerful stone called Zekterite, and it was evident that he was eager to flaunt it.

After arriving in front of the stone, Xylon chuckled before declaring, “This is the Zekterite I am talking about, Brother Gerald! As I have said, it is the hardest rock between heaven and earth! With that in mind, I made sure to take her wherever I moved! ”

Hearing that, Yule—yang standing beside them— became even more anxious. After all, his father and even some of the elders of the family had already started calling him 'brother' instead of master, and Yule knew how disrespectful they were!

Although Yule constantly gives non-verbal clues to her father to treat Gerald with more respect, Xylon only pretends not to see his son's warning.

Instead, he only begins to decipher the stone's history, even though Gerald doesn't ask for it.

According to rumors, the boulder was first found lying on the top of Mount Tierson. By the time it was discovered, it turned out that the stone had been experiencing the essence of life for a very long time, although it was still unknown whether the stone got to that point due to the special aura within it.

After all, the stone was famous for attracting lightning. Despite being a natural lightning rod, no scratches had ever appeared on the giant rock, regardless of how hard the lightning struck. Therefore, the stone was named Zekterite.

With his explanation now complete, Xylon complacently looked towards Gerald before saying, “What do you think, Brother Gerald? This giant stone of mine is really priceless, don't you think?”

Upon hearing that, the other old men who followed also smiled at each other, thinking, You are just an immature and inexperienced young man… It's as if you know something about this incredible treasure…'

“I know you will agree! However, why do I feel that you don't really believe it ...? Either way, I remember my son stating that you have a very extraordinary ability! Why don't you show it to us to expand our horizons?” answer Xylon casually.

“Indeed, Brother Gerald! Why don't you try splitting the legendary and unbreakable Zekterite as a start?” joked another old man with a cynical smile.

Naturally, Gerald easily looked through the sarcasm, though he could not blame them. In any case, she has promised to bring Yule and her family under her wing — after saving her and her younger sister — in return for her family honoring her for many generations to come. With that in mind, it was not difficult to imagine why Xylon and the other family elders could not accept that fact.

In fact, Gerald had already realized their displeasure since they had eaten dinner earlier. Although they exchanged simple conversation topics, none of them about him took them under his wing, and it was quite clear that it was a deliberate decision.

Eliminating that thought, Gerald then casually replied, “...Zekterite really is one of the hardest things between heaven and earth... From what I can see, not only did the lighting do nothing, but the cannons would not be able to destroy it. that too! After all, the stone had absorbed the essence of life for so long that it now had a holy spirit. With that said, Zekterite was only this strong as it had turned into a holy stone!”

Although Xylon had no idea what Gerald had just said, he only chuckled a little before replying sarcastically, “Then is something that contains a holy spirit a holy object? If that was the case, wouldn't there be many other things that are just as difficult to destroy?”

“It seems you don't understand what I mean. How do I put this ...? See, even though normal items may be difficult to destroy, you can still deal damage to them with enough inner strength or with the power of ordinary metals. The same cannot be said for the stone because it is a sacred object that has been filled with holy spirits between heaven and earth!” said Gerald.

“Oh? Did ya? Still, doesn't that mean you're just mocking our parents for not being strong enough, Brother Gerald?” replied the other old man with a bitter smile on his face.

When the same parents made fun of Gerald before the others, it was clear that they gave Gerald a warning that read, 'You better choose the words carefully, young man! Stop being so rushed!'

“Oh, that's not my goal. You clearly misunderstood me! ” says Gerald.

Hearing that, the expressions of Xylon and the others softened slightly.

As they wondered how Gerald would finish his explanation, Gerald added, “What I want to say is that you don't even deserve to do damage to the stone! Ignoring your strength, none of you here are at the stage where you can even begin to inflict damage on him! ”
