Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1154
After shouting in astonishment, Gerald immediately turned back to look at the old woman, prepared to launch an
attack.
However, before he was even able to take a step forward, Gerald suddenly felt all four of his limbs weaken 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 as he 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, “I can see that
your physique is quite different compared to ordinary people… However, do know that the Dead Annies here were
initially something different! Let’s just say that they’re a near-perfect counter against you!”
Feeling that he was going to pass out soon if he didn’t do anything quickly, Gerald placed all his remaining focus on
using his divine thought to call out, ‘Dawnbreaker!’

The old woman truly hadn’t anticipated that Gerald would actually have a last resort planned quite literally under
his sleeve. By the time she noticed the blade flying right for her, however, she was already too late to react in time.
Unable to dodge the attack, the Dawnbreaker ended up stabbing her right in her left arm, sending the old woman
toppling to the floor!
Strangely enough, the moment she fell down, the intense dizziness that Gerald had been experiencing suddenly
vanished!
‘…So it wasn’t poison that was causing my dizzy spell!’ Gerald thought to himself as he quickly regained his power.
Thinking about it, Gerald soon deducted that the old woman had launched a mental attack at him instead of using
actual poison, and that she had only used the pollen as some sort of medium. To think that 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 and running
into a room!
Gerald himself made a dash to the door… Only to be greeted by the sound of shattering glass as the old 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.
It was around then when both Chester and Yume slowly began regaining consciousness. Not long after, 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, “Take Chester 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 the more 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’s palace… Then
there’s her weapon of choice as well. While I could already tell that the flower was special back when I saw it at
grandpa’s place, I would’ve never guessed that it had such a function…’

Over ten large Crawford ships had earlier been searching for the old woman around the area. With the blaring 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 saw her, that
old woman instantly dived deep into the ocean, Mr. Crawford! While we haven’t been able to capture her, our sonar
detector found that she was quickly swimming toward what seemed to be a large 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 of the ocean’s
palace. I’m placing you in charge of providing support for us while a few of us head down there to have a look.
Speaking of which, are the two of you alright?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at 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 precisely locate both the
palace’s and the old woman’s location. With the help of the water repellent stones, the trio 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 narrow opening, about
half the size of an average adult…
