Chapter 1821
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1821 Looking at the crystal skull that Mario was holding onto, everyone below stage couldnât help but cheer in awe, including Gerald and his party. After all, the four individuals hadnât expected to find such a precious treasure out here of all places.
With the skull being so clear and dazzling, it was no wonder why it was capable of making everyone experience a special, indescribable feelingâ¦
Whatever the case was, everyone snapped out of it when Mario cleared his throat before declaring, âLetâs start the bidding at four million! To make things clear, each bid increment shouldnât be less than a million! With that out of the way, let the bidding begin!â
âFive million!â yelled a man as he immediately raised his hand.
âSix million!â shouted another man as he further increased the bid.
The way these people were shouting such massive numbers so eagerly could only be compared to water flowing off a waterfall. It was almost as though bidding by the million didnât hurt them at all!
âSeven million! Itâs mine!â declared a bespectacled man, almost as though he was sure that nobody would be able to top that.
Even so, this was an auction. As long as one had the money, it was a free for all. With that in mind, nobody even gave a ratâs arse about his statement.
âCan it and scram! Iâm paying eight million!â scoffed a fat man as he glared at the bespectacled bidder from before.
With how quickly the numbers were rising, the crystal skull soon exceeded the ten million point. Had these people gone insane?!
âItâs⦠just a skull, rightâ¦? Have these people gone nuts? Do they even understand the value of moneyâ¦?â exclaimed the astonished Rey.
âHeh. The rich live in a world we can never understand!â replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
While Gerald was certainly rich, he wasnât interested in just throwing millions of dollars away just for some stupid skull. Money shouldnât be spent that way!
By the end of it, the crystal skull ended up getting bought by the same bespectacled man at a whopping price of fifteen million!
âCongratulations, mister! With a bid of fifteen million, the crystal skull now belongs to you!â declared Mario.
The bespectacled man himself immediately began indulging himself in the admiration from the crowd.
Seeing how proud and mighty the man now felt, one could say that this was what most rich people strived to feel.
Regardless, with the auction now over, Gerald turned to look at his party before saying, âLetâs go, thereâs nothing else to see here!â
With that, the four then left the black market to continue wandering about the rest of the townâ¦
Not long after, however, they came across the manâwho had bought the crystal skullâagain.
âSay⦠isnât that the person who had bought the skull earlier, brother Gerald?â asked Rey, recognizing the bespectacled man.
Nodding in response, Gerald then watched as the man walked right past them, appearing somewhat nervous⦠Now why was that�
Having a gut feeling that something interesting would happen if they followed him, Gerald then said, ââ¦
Hey, letâs sneakily follow him!â
Seeing no reason to object, the trio then began tailing after Gerald who was already ahead of themâ¦
It wasnât too long after before they managed to tail him all the way to a house of sortsâ¦
After scanning his surroundings, the bespectacled man hurriedly entered the house, making sure to lock the door behind himâ¦
âStay here. Iâm going ahead to have a look at what heâs up to!â whispered Gerald as he made a giant leap⦠before landing right on the houseâs roof!
