Ch. 1976..1980: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1976-1980
Chapter 1976
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1976 With her immense beauty and voluptuous body, most men would grow lustful upon seeing her…
As the four men grew uncomfortably close to her, Zianne roared, “If you dare to even lay a finger on me, my master will surely destroy Whitehaar Abbey, you b*stard!”
“Hah! As if I’m afraid of him! In fact, I wonder if she even dares to come to our abbey!” scoffed Johnny, completely unfazed by the threat.
Following that, the sinister Johnny was just about to reach out to touch her body… When all of a sudden, a dagger flew out from the bushes and pierced right through his wrist!
Instantly screaming in pain, Johnny watched as blood began dripping out his fresh wound…
Before anyone could even register what was happening, Gerald walked out from the bushes, glaring contemptuously at all five of them as he jeered, “Five men against a single woman… Do you even have the right to call yourselves men?”
“Wh-who the hell are you?! Meddling with our business… Are you that keen to die?! Men, finish him roared the pained Johnny as his men immediately rushed toward Gerald with their longswords in hand!
Despite being outnumbered, Gerald barely even looked fazed.
With a single swipe of his hand, all four of them were sent flying…!
Chapter 1977
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1977 Upon seeing that, Johnny’s face immediately went pale. To think that Gerald was this powerful… How unexpected!
“Who the hell are you?! State your name!” growled Johnny as he glared daggers at Gerald.
“As if you even have a right to know my name!” retorted Gerald, a wry smile on his face. As if he’d reveal his identity so easily when he wasn’t even from this world!
Hearing that, Johnny couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Still, he knew that he and his men were no match against Gerald. Johnny, for one, was well acquainted with the saying, ‘A wise man never continues fighting when the odds are clearly against him.’
With that in mind, Johnny then yelled, “Men! Retreat!”
Hearing that, the four men obeyed and quickly fled the scene with Johnny…
Once they were out of sight, Gerald walked toward Zianne, helping her up as he asked in a concerned tone, “Are you alright… 2?”
Now that he was standing so close to her, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that she looked absolutely beautiful… Even so, he knew better than to have feelings for her. After all, he was already married to Mila, and he would never forgive himself if he cheated…
Either way, Gerald snapped out of it when the blushing Zianne shook her head before saying, “I-I’m fine… Regardless, thank you for saving me, young warrior!” Nodding in response, Gerald then asked, “So… Why did they assault you?”
What was so special about Zianne that made five grown men want her dead…?
“Well… It’s because I’m from the Whitehaar Abbey while they’re from the Purplefog Abbey! Their abbey hates mine, which is why they attacked me!” explained Zianne.
Upon hearing that, Gerald began realizing just how complicated things actually were in this realm…
After staring at Gerald for a while, Zianne—who found his appearance and clothing to be quite foreign —couldn’t help but ask, “Um… If I may, where do you come from, young warrior…2 You don’t exactly look like you’re from around here…”
Hearing that, Gerald was momentarily at a loss, unsure of how to even reply.
After a brief awkward silence, Gerald came up with an idea, prompting him to say, “I’m… uhh… A traveler from a far-off land! I just happened to be passing by when I saw them attacking you, which is why I stepped in! The name’s Gerald Crawford!”
“Zianne Landis!” replied the woman, barely even registering that what Gerald had said was a lie…
Realizing that he had managed to dodge a bullet, Gerald breathed a bit easier as he asked, “Either way… Where are you headed off to now, Miss Landis?”
“Oh, I’m going down the mountain to get some supplies in Heavenstar Town. What about you?” replied Zianne.
Chuckling in response, Gerald then said, “What a coincidence! Me too! Let’s head there together!”
Since Zianne was the first person he had gotten to know here, following her around would certainly be convenient. At the very least, he wouldn’t end up getting lost.
Either way, upon hearing that, Zainne simply replied, “Sure, why not?”
Following that, both of them began heading to Heavenstar Town…
When they finally arrived, Gerald’s attire instantly became the talk of the town. After all, not only were they unfamiliar with this person, but his garments were completely different from theirs! The awkwardness of it all made Gerald consider changing his outfit to blend in better with the locals… After all, who was he to be dressed so differently?

Chapter 1978
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1978 After telling Zianne about his plight, she immediately got him some new clothes in town…
Thankfully, after putting them on, Gerald no longer looked out of place among the other inhabitants of the Autremonde Realm. Now that he could blend in with the crowd, Gerald took the chance to ask, “Speaking of which, what specific supplies are you hoping to get here, Miss Landus?”
“Oh, I’m here to get some medicinal herbs for my master!” replied Zianne with a smile.
Watching as Gerald nodded, Zianne went silent for a while before eventually saying, “Actually… Why don’t you follow me back once I’m done with this errand, Warrior Crawford? I still need to thank you properly for saving my life earlier! Who knows what those b*stards would’ve done to me had you not stepped in!”
While Gerald knew that she was just trying to be appreciative, he couldn’t help but ask in a worried tone, “Are… you sure I won’t end up being a bother…? And will your master get mad at you for bringing me over…?”
Gerald, for one, knew for a fact that sects didn’t really welcome outsiders. With that in mind, he was worried that Zianne would end up getting chastised if he followed her back. If that truly came to be, then Gerald would surely feel immensely guilty…
“Well, while my master does emphasize all the time that we shouldn’t bring outsiders into the abbey, you aren’t exactly an outsider. After all, you saved me! Due to that, I believe that my master will understand me bringing you over. Besides, my master always tells us to repay the kindness of others!” replied Zianne in a sincere tone.
Upon hearing that, Gerald went silent for a moment before finally saying, “I see… Well… alright, then. Since you’ve so graciously invited me, I guess I’ll follow you back! I don’t have any place to be today
anyway, so I may as well stay overnight in your abbey.”
Hearing that, Zianne could hardly hide the joy on her face. After all, if Zianne was going to be completely honest, she was slightly attracted to Gerald. It was simply the common trope of ‘the beauty falling for the hero’ in play.
Even so, Zianne knew that she and Gerald would never be able to be together. After all, all disciples of the Purplefog Abbey were prohibited from falling in love. Hell, they couldn’t even hold hands with men or they’d end up getting severely punished or even getting expelled!
Whatever the case was, after Zianne bought the medicinal herbs she was looking for—together with Gerald—the duo left the town and headed straight for the Purplefog Abbey…
The Purplefog Abbey itself was located at the peak of the mountain east of Heavenstar Town. As for why the abbey was called that, it was essentially due to the fact that the mountain it was on was always enshrouded in a magnificent-looking purple mist…
Either way, after about half an hour of ascending the mountain’s many steps—under Zianne’s lead— the Purplefog Abbey could be seen in the distance. By this point, Gerald had realized that the entire area looked quite similar to a place on earth called Mount Skygate…
Regardless, as the duo neared the gates of the Purplefog Abbey, two female disciples—who were standing guard there—instantly shouted, “Eldest sister! You’re back!”
After Zianne nodded with a smile, the two girls—who had noticed Gerald’s presence—couldn’t help but ask, “…Um… Eldest sister…2 Who’s that…?”
They were rightfully wary since outsiders couldn’t just enter all willy-nilly. What more, this outsider was a man…!
Chapter 1979
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1979 Not even waiting for Ziane to reply, the other disciple quickly added, “Have you already forgotten the rules of our sect? Master has told us time and again that we can’t bring outsiders into our abbey, especially men! With that in mind, what you’re currently doing is clearly against the rules, Eldest sister! You’ll definitely be punished if you bring him in!”
As the chief disciple of the Purplefog Abbey, Zianne had a rather high reputation in the sect. What more, she was also an idol to many of the sect’s disciples. With that in mind, the two girls were simply stepping in out of concern.
Understanding that they only meant well, Zianne then calmly explained, “He’s no outsider… He’s my savior! Just so you two know, without his help, I would’ve surely perished earlier.”
Upon hearing that, the two girls were instantly caught in a dilemma…
Seeing that, Zianne then added, “Don’t worry, you two! I’ll explain all this to master, and if anything happens, I’Il be sure to take full responsibility! You can both be sure that you won’t end up getting into trouble!”
Before either of the girls could reply, Zianne was already leading Gerald into the abbey…
Gerald himself couldn’t help but feel that things would only continue getting even more awkward after this. With that in mind, he reached out to grab Zianne’s wrist—to stop her from going any further—and said, “I… think I’d better leave first… After all, it’ll be bad if I cause you any trouble!”
However, the second his hand touched her’s, Zianne instantly froze and her cheeks went beet red. After all, ever since she joined the Purplefog Abbey, she had never been touched by a man! Only seconds later, several yells could suddenly be heard, saying, “Release our Eldest sister!”
“Unhand her, you b*stard!”
Before the two knew it, they were already surrounded by at least a dozen female disciples!
Since all of them had swords pointing at him, Gerald quickly realized that he had been rude to touch Zianne out of the blue.
Releasing her hand, Gerald then yelled, “I apologize, I didn’t mean to do that!”
Finally snapping out of it, Zianne herself ordered, “Lay down your swords!”
“Don’t do as she says!” yelled another voice almost immediately after!
Following that, a woman donning the same purple garments as Zianne walked out from the crowd… Unlike Zianne, however, a veil covered her face, so Gerald couldn’t see what she looked like.
Either way, the woman then mocked, “So, not only did you bring back medicine, but also a man! Have you forgotten our master’s words?”
“What slander! As if I would ever forget master’s teachings! You aren’t even giving me room to explain myself!” retorted Zianne.
The daring woman that had just shown herself was known by the name of Yoona Landis. Within the Purplefog Abbey, she was the second most senior sister, and she was also Zianne’s junior.
Even so, she had always been extremely jealous of Zianne, and had tried time and again to drive her out! After all, with Zianne out, she would finally be able to attain the position of chief disciple!
Since Zianne had made such a blunder today, perhaps it was finally Yoona’s chance to achieve her goal!
With that in mind, Yoona then snorted disdainfully before yelling with a smirk, “Hah! Is there even anything to explain? That man held your hand and we all saw it! To think that you’re still trying to argue after all that!”
Raising a slight brow, Gerald finally decided to step in and say, “I have no idea what your relationship is with your Eldest sister, but I assure you that I’m just her friend. Again, if I’m causing all of you more trouble than needed, I’ll just leave.”
Chapter 1980
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1980 “Bullsh*t! Men can’t be trusted and all of them deserve to die! Also, did you honestly think that we’d just allow you to come and go as you pleased?” retorted Yoona as she glared at him while unsheathing her blade!
Leaping forward extremely quickly, Yoona then aimed her blade straight for Gerald’s chest!
Seeing that, Zianne immediately pushed Gerald to the side while yelling, “Careful!”
Naturally, Gerald could’ve easily dodged Yoona’s attack. After all, she was no match for him. Regardless, since he got pushed to the side, he could only watch as Zianne drew her own sword and clashed it with her junior’s!
Following that, a swordfight commenced between the two girls… However, since Zianne had earlier gotten hurt, she ended up falling to the ground when Yoona kicked her in the stomach!
Watching as Zianne covered her stomach in pain, Yoona took the chance to sneer, “Hah! Since when have you become this weak, Eldest sister? I guess having a man has truly made you lose yourself! No matter! I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of master!”
Just as Yoona was about to launch another attack at Zianne, Gerald bolted toward Zianne, picking her sword up and sending an aurablade straight for Yoona!
Due to the immense force, Yoona was sent flying backward, causing the disciples who were right behind her to topple to the ground as well!
As Yoona fell to the group—spitting a mouthful of blood out in the process—, Zianne herself could only stare wide-eyed at Gerald. To think that he had such terrifying power…! No wonder Johnny and his friends couldn’t win against him!
Whatever the case was, Gerald then stabbed the blade into the ground before glaring at Yoona as he growled, “What ignorance! To think that you’d dare to fight your Eldest sister even after I’ve told you time and again that there’s nothing between us!”
At that exact moment, a sword suddenly flew out of one of the houses! Though it came dangerously close to piercing through Gerald, the youth himself simply turned his body, causing the blade to fly right past his eyes!
Once the sword stopped moving—after stabbing through a door that was in its way—, everyone turned to look at the direction the sword had been thrown from…
Watching as a white-haired woman—donning an equally white robe—walked out the house, everyone except for Gerald immediately knelt before calling out, “Master!”
As it turned out, she was Fayth Quenelle, the matriarch of the Purplefog Abbey…
Glaring at Gerald, Fayth yelled in a furious tone, “No man has ever dared to step foot into the Purplefog Abbey… Who are you? And how dare you come over to cause trouble!”
Hearing that, Zianne quickly replied, “l was the one who brought him over, master! I sincerely apologize!”
Turning to glare at Zianne next, Fayth then retorted, “Zianne, are you not my chief disciple? You, of all people, should know the rules of the sect! How could you commit such a grave sin!”
Bowing low, Zianne then replied, “I’m well aware of my mistake, master!”
Before any of them could say anything else, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Hold it! Just you know, if it wasn’t for me, your chief disciple would’ve died by now!”
