The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2333
Though Yaacob didnât appear too suspicious and mostly felt trustworthy to Gerald, the man was still part of the organizerâs family. Since Gerald knew little about that family, he remained rightfully vigilant around Yaacob.
Regardless, since Yaacob followed Gerald all the way back to his room, Aiden who had been lying on the couch instantly got up before asking, âWho is this, then?â
âHeâs just a friend I got to know. Regardless, âfriendâ, you wonât be staying with us, correct? After all, there are only three rooms and three beds here,â replied Gerald who clearly didnât want Aiden to know the whole story yet as he turned to look at Yaacob.
âOh, donât worry about me. Iâll just go get another room!â said Yaacob as he shook his head, knowing that his mission was merely to keep a close eye on Gerald, not to be at his side at all times.
Either way, once Yaacob left, Gerald could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Pouring himself a glass of water, Gerald then asked, âSpeaking of which, whereâs uncle Grubb?â
âHeâs headed out to register our seats for tomorrowâs auction,â replied Aiden as he sat by Geraldâs side.
âI seeâ¦â said Gerald as he sipped on his water.
âWho exactly was that, brother Geraldâ¦? Uncle Grubbâs already told us how chaotic this place is, so we need to be clear about his identity if weâre allowing him to approach usâ¦â muttered Aiden as he pointed at the door that Yaacob had just left with.
âDonât worry, heâs safe to be around,â replied Gerald in a slightly helpless tone, knowing better than to go against someone from the organizerâs family, especially after being targeted by the old man.
Thinking back, maybe the old man ordered Yaacob to stay close to him so that he wouldnât attempt to trespass that huge mountain again. If that was the case, then Yaacobâs appearance would surely make a lot more sense.
Moving back to Yaacob, being the disciple of the organizerâs family, he naturally didnât have to book a room to stay there. With that in mind, he simply found a vacant room before walking in and closing the door behind him. Following that, he made a call to the old man, and once it connected, Yaacob immediately said, âThird elder? Thereâs something I need to report!â
âYouâd better not have lost himâ¦â growled the old man.
âO-of course I havenât! I called to tell you that Iâve already met him and Iâm currently staying close to his room,â replied Yaacob.
âYou didnât say a word about the young mistress, did you?â asked the old man as he eased up a little.
âNegative. I only admitted that I was stalking him, but I didnât say anything else,â explained Yaacob.
âGood to know. Regardless of how you do it, just make sure you donât lose him. Also, the patriarch is arriving very soon, and Iâm about to head out to greet him. With that said, continue keeping an eye on him, understand?â replied the old man with a nod.
âGot it!â said Yaacob before hanging upâ¦
It was around half an hour later when a plain-looking boat was anchored on the other side of the island where the old man and about a dozen more disciples could be seen waiting onshore.
Shortly after, a well-dressed and stern-looking middle aged man stepped out, and two of the disciples quickly stepped forward to help him out. Once he was ashore, the old man bowed before saying, âWelcome, patriarchâ¦â
Aside from being the auctionâs organizer, the man who went by Walter Zeman was also the patriarch of the Zemans, a cultivating family from Weston. With how high his cultivation was, Walter was one of the top ten cultivators across the globe.
âWhere is he, Third elder? You said the boy possessed the Herculean Primordial Spirit, correct? Bring me to him,â replied Walter in an urgent tone.
