The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1480

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1480 The shouts weren’t all that far away, and while it had been extremely packed in that area just secondsago, everyone had already formed a path in the middle.

Of course, the person they were all aweing at was none other than Stetson, the young man whomGerald had noticed when he was at the university back then! To think that he’d make an appearancehere at Heartstone Manor as well…

Then again, it wasn’t all that surprising since people who were training to attain spiritual enlightenmentwere all flocking to the manor with various methods anyway. With that said, Stetson—who wascommonly referred to as the ‘training boy’—was naturally also a person training to attain spiritualenlightenment. From what Gerald had heard, Stetson had already opened up his spiritual roots at theage of three, and that knowledge only solidified the fact that Stetson was someone with authentictalent.

Even when it came to strength, Gerald could estimate that he was as strong as Julian, a person whohad trained to attain spiritual enlightenment! With that in mind, Stetson could very well already be aRank-one Master.

Regardless, it really wasn’t a surprise that his arrival would cause such a massive sensation withinHeartstone Manor. It probably wasn’t even a stretch to claim that he was the most high-profiled personthere. Either way, it was also quite obvious—by this point—that he had a very powerful force backinghim up.

As Gerald continued observing the scene, he suddenly heard a respectful voice say, “Master hasalready instructed you to go meet Young Master Laidler once he arrives…!”

Turning to see who had said that, Gerald saw that it had come from an old man who was standing nextto Xyrielle. Appearance-wise, the old man looked to be an extremely kind person who was probably

around the age of eighty. Aside from the small mole on his face, his most distinguishable feature washis beard that fell all the way down to his chest.

As the old man took notice of Gerald and glanced at him, Xyrielle simply nodded and—after thinking fora brief moment before finally dismissing the idea of greeting Gerald—replied, “I understand, Mr. Babel!”

Xyrielle had her reasons for not choosing to greet Gerald.

Even as a child, Xyrielle had lived a noble life as the eldest young lady of the Waddys family. Be itfinancial power or strength, the powerful Waddys had it, which meant that she had always been living anear-unimaginable life, at least to commoners. Aside from the moon and the stars, there truly wasn’tmuch else that Xyrielle couldn’t get her hands on.

Despite having all the power in the world, Xyrielle wasn’t the happiest girl on the planet by a longshot.After all, due to certain rules in her family, she had lost the opportunity to choose her own lover.

Even so, Xyrielle was very reluctant to heed to that rule. After all, she had never experienced lovebefore. With that in mind, she felt the need to experience what it felt like to be in love, which was whyshe had asked the fortune-teller—whom she had met by a river—to tell her her love fortune.

In response, the fortune-teller told her that her love would appear soon.

Upon hearing that, Xyrielle had cherished the thought and instantly began dedicating all of her energyto look for the person she would eventually fall for.

While it was true that Gerald had caused her heart to palpitate every time she saw him, it was quiteobvious that he wasn’t the one she was looking for. After all, her good friends had been accompanyingand persuading her throughout the day to go for Stetson instead.

Eventually, she gave in, and Xyrielle was now convinced that the person she loved was actually YoungMaster Laidler. With any luck, she hoped that his feelings for her would slowly bloom after getting intocontact with each other.

With that said, she also chose not to greet Gerald since she felt that both of them were from twocompletely different worlds.novelbin

Regardless, after nodding at Mr. Babel, Xyrielle then headed toward Young Master Laidler who was stillmaking his way through the crowd.

Seeing that, Xaverie made a mocking face at Gerald before saying, “See that, Gerald? You don’t reallyhave a chance anymore so just give up already!”

Watching as Xaverie chased after Xyrielle, Gerald simply scratched the back of his head, wonderingwhat that girl was even going on about. Whatever the case was, it’s not like it mattered to him. After all,his focus here today was to get a good look at all the people—who were training to attain spiritualenlightenment—gathered here today, and who better to start with than Stetson.

From what he could see, despite being surrounded by a large crowd, Stetson appeared extremely coldand arrogant. Whenever he looked at anyone, he made sure to squint his eyes as well. It was almostas though he was viewing everyone as mere ants. Ants that weren’t worthy of being in the presence ofsomeone as extraordinary as he was.

He simply couldn’t understand how these people—who were so small and insignificant—could actuallyhave the dignity to continue living in this world despite being so worthless?

After all, this world should only belong to strong people like him, right? These were the thoughts thatStetson tended to obsess over when he saw people like these.

His train of thought was cut short when a servant—who had been following Stetson by his side—whispered, “Miss Xyrielle Waddys is here, Young Master Laidler!”

Upon hearing that, Stetson slowly opened his eyes… and when he did, he realized that Xyrielle lookedas pretty as a fairy…

As his eyes brightened up slightly, Xyrielle found herself blushing slightly as she said, “I’ve heard manygreat things about you, Young Master Laidler! My name is Xyrielle!”

Xyrielle herself had a look of admiration in her eyes as she looked at the incredible and spirited youngman standing before her.

As she extended her hand to shake his, Stetson barely hesitated when he reached out as well to shakeher hand.

While they did so, Xyrielle felt slightly confused. Even after making skin contact, her heart wasn’tthrobbing in the slightest… Why was that?
