Chapter 1820
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1820 After hearing Junoâs suggestion, Gerald then replied, âAgreed. Letâs keep that in mind, then!â
By covering their tracks, theyâd at least be able to lower the chances of Soul Hunters finding them again. Gerald really wasnât all that keen on being hunted down day in and day outâ¦
As he was thinking about how much less they would have to worry if they covered their tracks, a thought suddenly came to Gerald.
Taking out the map that Old Flint had given him, Gerald scanned through it for a while before pointing at a townâon the mapâand saying, ââ¦Letâs head there next. While the journey will take a little longer, weâll at least be able to bypass the phosphorite area. Since itâs a town, weâll also get a chance to resupply there!â
âAnything you say!â replied Juno without the slightest hesitation.
Now that that was decided, the group of four then changed their route and began heading toward the town on the mapâ¦
The town itself was known as the Town of Five Elements, and it was aptly named that way due to geographical reasons.
Either way, after traveling for an entire day, the four finally arrived at the entrance of the town. Contrary to the previous lack of humans, the group quickly realized that the town was both lively and busy. In a way, it was almost as though the entire town was a bustling marketplaceâ¦
âEveryone! The black marketâs putting up a crystal skull for auction! Letâs go check it out!â yelled a young man out of the blue.
Hearing that, many were drawn to his proposal, including Gerald and his party. To think that thereâd be a black market in the town!
âWhy donât we go see it too?â said Rey who had always been interested in things like these.
âSure, why not?â replied Gerald, seeing no reason to refuse. In all honesty, even he was interested to see what else was up for auction.
Following the crowd, all four of them soon arrived at the Town of Five Elementâs black marketâ¦.
From guns, bombs, to even drugs, pretty much everything was sold there! It truly was a fascinating placeâ¦
Eventually, the four of them found an empty spot to stand in. However, it wouldnât be long before a man wearing a hat and leather jacket ascended the stageâ¦
âGreetings, everyone! My name is Mario Grant, and Iâm the chief administrator of the black market! Iâll say it right now that the item weâre auctioning today is extremely extraordinary! It wouldnât be a stretch to say that just seeing it will broaden your horizons! While Iâm sure that many of you have already heard about it, Iâd like to emphasize that thereâs only one of its kind on the planet! With that said, do I even need to elaborate on how rare the treasure is?â declared the man in the leather jacket rather excitedly.
Upon hearing that, the overwhelmed audience instantly began cheering for the item to be shown!
âVery well, then! I present to all of you⦠the crystal skull! Bring it up on stage!â ordered Mario as one of his subordinates quickly carried a box onto the stage before handing it to the chief administrator.
After receiving it, Mario carefully unlidded the box⦠and with a grin, he then took the crystal skull out, showing it to the audience as he shouted, âBehold! Our marvelous auction item today, the crystal skull!â
