Ch. 1506..1510: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1506-1510
Chapter 1506
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1506 Though Yaakov was muttering worriedly to himself, Xyrielle had admiration reflected in her eyes as she looked at Stetson. After watching all those battles, she felt as though she could finally see through that man.
As the fortune-teller had predicted, Stetson truly had immense martial arts skills and no ordinary person could ever come close to being compared to him…
Xaverie, on the other hand, found herself looking at Gerald slightly contemptuously before saying, “While Stetson is arrogant, he’s undeniably handsome! It’s no wonder why Xyrielle fell for him! Though I do wonder if you’ll get jealous of hearing me say such things! After all, I’m pretty sure you’re in love with her! Sadly enough, Stetson has all the strength and glory in the world! You simply don’t stand a chance!”
In response, Gerald simply grunted with a nod.
He had been preoccupied this entire time, observing each battle closely, wondering if anyone stronger than Stetson would show up.
After all, this was an extremely grand festival. It was impossible that only First, Second, and Third rank masters would attend, right?
‘There has to be someone more powerful than that attending!’ Gerald thought to himself.
That thought was the only thing keeping him from stepping forward yet.
As Yaakov smiled in resignation, Yule, on the other hand, was anxiously scratching the back of his head while looking from side to side as he muttered, “How immensely frustrating! Where could the master have gone? The festival is going to end soon!”
Seeing the crossed-armed Stetson—who had his eyes closed—standing atop the platform only served to further anger Yule, and he wasn’t the only one feeling taunted either.
‘That mother*cking guy really knows how to put up a show…!’
‘That condescending b*stard…!’
While these were the shared thoughts of many, nobody actually dared to teach him a lesson. Not that they were capable enough in the first place.
Noticing how nervous Yule was, Yaakov—who had been sitting close to the Quantocks—turned to look at the members of that family before mocking, “Oh? Isn’t the Quantock family sending anyone out to battle? Or do you have nobody capable enough? Now you’re just making me wonder whether you just came to witness all the fun!”
“You…! You’re just a pot calling the kettle black, Yaakov! I don’t see anyone from the Waddys family capable of dealing with Stetson either! Regardless, mark my words that we’ll soon be settling some of the grudges between us…!” snapped Xylon.
Laughing aloud, Yaakov simply replied, “I see! I’m interested in seeing how you Quantocks are going to settle those grudges of yours! Hahaha!”
Following that, Yaakov turned to look at Stetson—who was standing alone on the platform since nobody was daring enough to challenge him—before shouting, “With the representative of the Waddys family defeated, I do wonder if there’s anyone among us still daring enough to challenge Stetson? If there aren’t any objections, I’ll be handing the power to rule over this festival to this fine young man!”
After a momentary silence, a roar of ear-shattering laughter could suddenly be heard echoing throughout the venue!
As objects within the venue began cracking or shattering from the immense noise, many people were also starting to scream and even faint.! Covering their ears didn’t seem to help with the situation either!
Noticing that Xaverie and the other girls were also wailing in pain, Gerald simply sealed their blood vessels in order for their hearing to return to normal.
Still, the longer he listened to the laughter, the more familiar it felt… Was it really Carlos?
“Aren’t you being a bit too generous, Yaakov? Giving someone else the power to rule… Just cut the act! I’m bloody sure that you’re extremely reluctant to make that exchange! Aren’t I right, you b*stard?” taunted the sarcastic voice before continuing to laugh almost maniacally.
Hearing that, Yaakov’s face instantly reddened in embarrassment as he retorted, “Who the hell are you? Show yourself!”
The second he said that, he was immediately greeted by a tight slap to his cheek! He didn’t even see it coming, and he ended up toppling to the ground, his slapped cheek now extremely swollen…
“Oh? You still have no idea who I am…?”
Moments after that statement ended, everyone in the venue witnessed as an old man began falling from the ceiling…
And landing right atop the high platform.

Chapter 1508
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1508 Laughing maniacally as he shook his head, Carlos then said, “What an utter fool! To think that you even dared to go up against me in the first place! Who the hell even gave you such courage?”
Following that, the old man raised his hand… and began lifting Stetson into the air without even touching him!
Watching as Stetson screamed in terror in his suspended state, Xyrielle—who was under the platform —quickly shouted, “D-dad! Hurry and think of a way to deal with that villain!”
Despite hearing his daughter’s pleas, even Yaakov was at his wits’ end.
As for Carlos, he found himself turning to look at who was shouting for Stetson’s sake. The second he laid eyes on Xyrielle, he paused for a moment before declaring, “It appears that you’re quite gifted too, young lass! Alright then, since you’re so loyal, I’ll just drain both of you dry together!”
Laughing as soon as his sentence ended, Xyrielle wasn’t even able to react in time before Carlos lifted his hand again and drew the poor girl toward the platform as well!
Upon seeing that, Yaakov’s nervousness peaked, prompting him to immediately shout, “I-I’m begging you, laughing master…! Please, spare my daughter…!”
Anxiously watching as Xyrielle struggled to free herself from being pulled any closer toward the old man, Xaverie—who had already stood up by this point—found herself yelling, “X-Xyrielle!”
Unsure what else he could do, Yaakov then added, “I-I’m sure you don’t want to make an enemy out of that family, right, Laughing master? What more, my daughter doesn’t even have access to any of the training realms! There truly is no reason for you to hurt her…!”
Hearing that, Carlos found himself frowning for a brief moment. However, he quickly recovered and laughed aloud before replying, “Hey, now, don’t you think it’d be a bit too shameless on my part if I just released the person you told me to? How about this, I’ll let you choose who gets to die! Will it be Stetson? Or Xyrielle? I’ll let the two of you decide between yourselves! Consider it my way of paying the Waddys some respect! Hahaha!”
While she was still nervous, Xyrielle turned to look at Stetson with an expectant gaze…
However, what she saw was an extremely pale-faced youth who instantly pleaded, “S-sir! I’m begging you to let me off…! Xyrielle is just an ordinary person, so killing her would be as easy as squashing a bedbug for you…! Also, do note that as another person who’s managed to enter the training realm, I can still be of some value to you…!”
“…W-what…?” muttered Xyrielle as she immediately began trembling wildly.
This… This wasn’t how she had imagined things would go… He was a man whom she had grown to admire… Yet to think that he would actually compare her to nothing but a bedbug…!
Laughing at Stetson’s response, Carlos then turned to look at Xyrielle before saying, “His words do make some sense! And how about you, young lass? What do you think?”
At that moment in time, Xyrielle had been stunned completely speechless. After all, ever since that fortune-teller had told her what her future lover would be like, she had patiently been waiting for him to appear… The fortune-teller had even told her that the man was someone worthy of her love… Someone who would remain by her side till death did them apart…
To think that her destined lover turned out to be such a person… Was all that talk about her destiny mere a cruel joke then?
Thinking about it that way made her want to cry out, ‘Just go ahead and kill me!’
Xyrielle was snapped back into reality when she suddenly heard an angry woman shouting, “You claimed to have lived for over three hundred years, right? I feel like that’s a big fat lie since only a thousand-year-old b*stard would be capable of what you’re doing! To think that you aren’t even letting off an innocent woman! To me, you’re nothing but a monster!”
The woman who had shouted was none other than Perla, and her fury had kicked into overdrive when he saw how Carlos was treating Xyrielle. Due to all that rage, she had yelled her true thoughts out without considering the implications.
When Carlos heard that, he turned to look at Perla before replying, “Oh? I have to say, it truly is an interesting day today! After all, I’ve managed to consecutively bump into three people who don’t appear to appreciate favors! Regardless, know that I have a habit of giving people—regardless of gender— particularly horrible deaths if they choose to disrespect me! With that said, you really are one unfortunate girl!”
After shaking his head with a bitter smile, Carlos—who had been casting a formation this entire time to lock Xyrielle and Stetson up—raised his hand toward Perla, ready to pull her over as well.
However, before he was even able to lift her off the ground, a beam of white light suddenly appeared and bolted down directly above Carlos! The light itself was extremely bright, and it seemed to illuminate every inch of the underground area.
Even so, Carlos managed to notice it just in time to barely dodge the attack.
While leaping to avoid the light, the old man found himself raising an eyebrow as he asked, “Who dares?”

Chapter 1510
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1510 Upon being shaken, Gerald finally snapped out of it as he turned to look at Xaverie.
The truth was, he had entered such a state since the five disks in his body had reappeared a little earlier. With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t keep himself calm enough to continue watching the fights at full concentration.
While Gerald was still pretty much aware of the incidents happening around him, his mind was more preoccupied on the disks, which explained his lack of action.
“What are you looking at me for? Look down there! Your friend’s about to die!” said Xaverie, feeling speechless.
“She’s not really my friend… She’s merely my disciple!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile, finding her over anxiousness slightly amusing.
“…Disciple? Are you still half asleep?!” grumbled Xaverie in resignation as her friends turned to look at him with odd gazes.
“Not really, no. Regardless, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but I appreciate your kindness earlier, Xaverie! Now then, I’m heading off to aid my disciple!” replied Gerald as he stood up, finally ready to leave the sidelines.
Seeing how much trouble Perla was currently in, Gerald knew he had to step in quickly before something bad happened to her.
Before he could even make a move, however, he felt Xaverie tugging his sleeve while saying, “The hell are you doing, Gerald? You can’t just move around so casually! They’ll kill you!”
Chuckling in response, Gerald simply replied in an indifferent tone, “I’ll be fine, don’t worry!”
With that, he slowly began making his way toward the platformed area…
At that exact moment, Carlos—who was done waiting—was just about to draw both Perla and Xyrielle over to him when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out, “I do hope you’re doing well, Laughing Master!”
He recognized that voice anywhere, and Carlos’s legs instantly began trembling frantically as though they had just been struck by lightning.
Slowly turning around to see if the owner of the voice was truly him, Carlos’s eyes widened when he realized that his worst nightmare had come true… Gerald was now slowly walking toward the platform!
“…Hmm? Wait… it’s you again!” exclaimed Yaakov in bewilderment when he saw Gerald slowly walking past him.
‘He’s the one who’s endlessly pestered my daughter before this… Still, the way he called Carlos earlier… Is he acquainted with that old man or something?’ Yaakov thought to himself rather doubtfully.
“…Gerald…?” muttered the shocked Xyrielle who had also noticed Gerald’s presence by this point.
Xaverie and her friends were equally as flabbergasted as they watched the calm Gerald—who had slid his hands into his pockets—finally walk up the platform.
Now that Gerald was a little too close for comfort, Carlos found himself gulping as he took a few steps back, his eyes squinting in Gerald’s direction as he muttered, “…What… What are you doing here…?”
Noticing Carlos’s sudden change in demeanor, Ghose narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at Gerald before asking in a cold tone, “…Who is this person, Carlos? And why are you so afraid of him? Don’t tell me he’s the one who inflicted all those wounds on you…”
Finding it hard to even speak without stuttering, Carlos quickly replied, “…That’s him alright…!”
“I see. How interesting… I feel that this is my first time meeting such a young exceptional person… Regardless, if he truly is as strong as you’ve said, Carlos, I don’t mind helping you kill him today! Though he may have been able to inflict terrible wounds on you, I believe that with our powers conjoined, we’ll be able to take out at least half of those who’ve entered the training realm!” sneered Ghose.
“No!” replied Carlos almost instantaneously as he shook his head rapidly.
“What? Why not? Don’t tell me you’re too afraid to even make a move!” replied Ghose, feeling slightly surprised.
“Me? Afraid? Ghose, I’m Carlos! The man who’s been able to enter the training realm with barely any hindrance! Do you think I know what fear is? Under normal circumstances, even if I bump into much stronger opponents, I’d still make a gamble and go all out on them despite understanding that I could very easily be the one left dead in the end! Note, however, that every time I do something reckless— like trying to drain the essential qi of my opponents or fighting exceptional people—it’s always because I know that winning will either enhance my strength or fame!” explained Carlos while shivering.
“…What do you mean by that?” asked Ghose with a slight frown.
“What I mean is clear and simple. I know I’ll die if I face him, and I don’t want to just perish so meaninglessly!” replied the old man as his legs trembled one final time before his knees touched the ground with a soft ‘thud’.
“Please spare my life, Great master…!”
