The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1462
After the door to the room was opened, Gerald, Terrance, and the others walked in.
The second they entered, they were immediately greeted by the sight of Federico sitting at the main seat. A broad smile on his face as he stood up, Federico then said, âWhy hello there, Uncle Sherwin! I hadnât expected to meet you again so soon!â
âSo youâre behind all this, Federico!â growled Terrance angrily.
âNow, now, thereâs no need to get angry, Uncle Sherwin! Aside from wanting to reminisce with you, I also called you over today since I wanted to greet and extend my warmest welcome to Mr. Crawford!â
replied Federico.
Following that, he clapped his hands before ordering, âServe the tea to the guests!â
Shortly after, a waitress walked over with a teapot in hand. However, as soon as the teapotâs cap was removed, it was revealed there was only tea powder inside! What more, the powder itself smelled extremely unpleasant!
From that alone, it was obvious that Federico was saying that they werenât worthy of being in his presence, despite the fact that he was the one who had called them over!
âWhat do you mean by this, Federico?!â growled the enraged Terrance.
âHahaha! What could you mean? Arenât I inviting you to have some tea?â sneered Federico.
âTea can wait, and you can save your âwarm welcomesâ for later. So, Young Master Dun, letâs just get straight to business. Tell us, why did you invite us here today? Even if youâre trying to buy the whisk off me, Iâd prefer if you beat around the bush less!â said Gerald as he looked at Federico.
After saying that, Gerald glanced at the black-robed manâwho was sitting motionless beside Federico âbefore thinking, âThis man⦠Heâs most probably Federicoâs strongest subordinateâ¦â
âSo youâre a straightforward person, Mr. Crawford! I see, I see⦠I guess Iâll get straight to the point then! You see, the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk is a magic artifact that is of great use to me⦠With that said, Iâd like to buy it off you, Mr. Crawford. Speaking of which, ever since I was a child, Iâve always gotten what I want. If you donât believe me, you can just ask Manager Wafarer over here! Thereâs nothing on this planet that I, Federico Dun, canât obtain if I wish for it!â declared Federico with a wry smile.
âYoung Master Dun is correct! As far as I know, every single request that heâs madeâwithin the Jenna Provinceâhas been granted, and nobodyâs ever dared to turn him down! Regardless, since youâre new here, I suggest you focus on making friends with Young Master Dun. Why not kick start this new friendship by selling the whisk to him?â said Manager Wafarer.
âYou can dream on!â retorted Terrance, enraged.
Gerald had already anticipated that Federico would be up to no good, and from the looks of it, the heir had booked the entire restaurant just to ease the process of taking Geraldâs life. Regardless, Gerald had expected all this to happen, so he knew how to deal with him.
âWell, since youâre so adamant about buying it, I guess I have no choice but to begin discussing the price⦠Why donât we start with you making me an offer? Iâll consider whether Iâll sell it or not based on your answer!â replied Gerald.
âI agree with that. Regardless, call it a hunch, but from my past experiences, I feel that youâll surely be dissatisfied with my offer. In fact, I believe youâll even think Iâm trying to insult you! Either way, now that thatâs out of the way, letâs get to the offer. Honestly, I quite like how straightforward you are, so Iâll give you some face and pay you ten times my usual offer amount!â said Federico as he placed a freshly printed ten-dollar banknote on the table before pushing it toward Gerald, a mocking smile on his face.
Upon seeing that, Manager Wafererâwho had been sitting at the sideâcouldnât help but laugh out loud as he thought, âYoung Master Dunâs always been like this! Iâve already seen this play out many, many times before⦠Being a famous and influential young master in the Jenna Province, who would dare provoke him?â
âHonestly, this situation is quite reminiscent of when another wealthy businessman from outstation had spent seven million dollars at an auction to buy an ancient vase. Unfortunately for him, the young master had also taken a fancy to the vase! After using the same methodâthat Young Master Dun is currently utilizing on Geraldâin the end, he got the businessman to sell the vase to him for only fifty cents!â
âNaturally, the businessman was eventually unwilling to just accept this unfair trade. As a result, his entire family was slaughtered without mercy! This is how vicious Young Master Dun can truly be! He really is the demon King of the Jenna Province!â
As Waferer was thinking about all this, he saw that Terrance was already getting increasingly anxious and angry.
Seeing that, the manager couldnât help but pity them slightly. With that in mind, he started playing his role as a peacemaker by saying, âQuite honestly, I advise both of you to just accept his offer. After all, he truly is offering you ten times his usual amount!â
Federico himself simply lit a cigarette before saying, âLook, just leave the whisk behind, or youâll all die!
Simple as that!â
From how indifferent his cold tone was, it suggested that killing them off was just as big a deal to him as taking a nap or having a meal.
