Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1154 After shouting in astonishment, Gerald immediately turned back to look at the old woman, prepared tolaunch an attack.

However, before he was even able to take a step forward, Gerald suddenly felt all four of his limbsweaken as a dizzy spell simultaneously swept through him.

‘What? But how is this possible?! I’ve long been immune to all poisons!’ Gerald thought to himself ashe slowly kneeled to the floor with one knee, his dizziness intensifying.

Seeing that, the old woman smiled wickedly as she slowly began walking toward him while saying, “Ican see that your physique is quite different compared to ordinary people… However, do know that theDead Annies here were initially something different! Let’s just say that they’re a near-perfect counteragainst you!”

Feeling that he was going to pass out soon if he didn’t do anything quickly, Gerald placed all hisremaining focus on using his divine thought to call out, ‘Dawnbreaker!’

Following that, the Dawnbreaker instantly shot out from his sleeve!

The old woman truly hadn’t anticipated that Gerald would actually have a last resort planned quiteliterally under his sleeve. By the time she noticed the blade flying right for her, however, she wasalready too late to react in time.

Unable to dodge the attack, the Dawnbreaker ended up stabbing her right in her left arm, sending theold woman toppling to the floor!

Strangely enough, the moment she fell down, the intense dizziness that Gerald had been experiencingsuddenly vanished!

‘…So it wasn’t poison that was causing my dizzy spell!’ Gerald thought to himself as he quicklyregained his power.

Thinking about it, Gerald soon deducted that the old woman had launched a mental attack at himinstead of using actual poison, and that she had only used the pollen as some sort of medium. To thinkthat his mental power had been controlled by that old woman earlier!

While the old woman certainly appeared surprised, she quickly snapped out of it, getting to her feet andrunning into a room!

Gerald himself made a dash to the door… Only to be greeted by the sound of shattering glass as theold woman crashed through the room’s sole window and jumped into the open sea!

By the time he got to the window, the old woman was nowhere to be seen.novelbin

It was around then when both Chester and Yume slowly began regaining consciousness. Not longafter, even the Crawford bodyguards began boarding the ship.

Since he had earlier suffered a mental attack, Gerald’s face was still slightly pale as he ordered, “TakeChester and Yume back to the ship… Also, begin a search around the area to locate an old woman!She’s injured so she’ll definitely leave traces behind no matter what!”

Upon hearing that, Gerald’s guards immediately obeyed and began their search.

‘Still… Who even was she…? It’s almost as though she had been waiting for us here deliberately…The fact that we bumped into her so close to where the king of the ocean’s palace is, makes her all themore suspicious!’ Gerald thought to himself a little while later as he looked out into sea.

‘…I wonder if she could have actually been trying to prevent us from entering the king of the ocean’spalace… Then there’s her weapon of choice as well. While I could already tell that the flower wasspecial back when I saw it at grandpa’s place, I would’ve never guessed that it had such a function…’

As soon as Gerald’s thought ended, the alarm in the cabin of one the Crawford family’s ships beganblaring.

Over ten large Crawford ships had earlier been searching for the old woman around the area. With theblaring of the alarm, it was apparent that they had finally located her.

Seconds later, a bodyguard came running over to Gerald before excitedly saying, “The moment we sawher, that old woman instantly dived deep into the ocean, Mr. Crawford! While we haven’t been able tocapture her, our sonar detector found that she was quickly swimming toward what seemed to be alarge metal building far beneath the waves!”

“I see. Then it’s probably a solid hunch to assume that the place she’s currently headed to is the king ofthe ocean’s palace. I’m placing you in charge of providing support for us while a few of us head downthere to have a look. Speaking of which, are the two of you alright?” asked Gerald as he turned to lookat Yume and Chester.

“I’m fine!” replied Chester though Yume simply nodded.

“Very well. Place the water repellent stones in your mouths and follow me below the waves then!”

With that said, all three of them then dived into the sea, swimming into its murky depths.

Since they had specialized electronic equipment with them, they were able to quickly and preciselylocate both the palace’s and the old woman’s location. With the help of the water repellent stones, thetrio was able to make their way deeper into the ocean rather quickly.

A short while later, the three people arrived before a dark cave that had a rather small and narrowopening, about half the size of an average adult…
