Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2335
âThen what are you waiting for, Mia? You have less than a year left! If we donât act quick, the boy may leave and we may not be able to locate him again!â replied Walter in an urgent tone. After all, his daughterâs life was on the line!
Upon hearing that, Mia couldnât help but blush as she muttered, âPlease leave me and my father be for a momentâ¦â
Nodding in response, Third Elder and the others quickly left the roomâ¦
Once they were gone, Mia clenched her sleeves before adding in a tiny voice, â⦠Father, Iâm sure youâre aware of what I have to do with that boy in order to cure the cold poison in my bodyâ¦â
After a brief pause, Walter then replied, âIâm well awareâ¦â
âThen can I at least get to know this person firstâ¦? I need to at least be able to accept him before allowing him to treat my cold poison, rightâ¦?â said Mia, feeling extremely embarrassed.
âYouâre being too picky! While I know that itâd be best if you could be together with that boy, beggars canât be choosers. If youâre really that self-conscious about it, I can just kill him after your condition is cured!â declared Walter, his gaze frigid.
âYou⦠Youâre planning to kill my saviorâ¦?â muttered Mia, her eyes focused on her father.
Suddenly feeling immensely awkward, Walter averted his gaze before saying, âItâs all for your own goodâ¦â
âSince youâre saying that, just let me get to know him a bit⦠If he doesnât meet my requirements at all, Iâd rather die from the cold poison!â replied Mia in a firm tone.
âBullsh*t! You canât joke about your life like that! My daughter, Iâve let you have your way with everything ever since you were born⦠However, Iâm doing things my way this time. Stay here and Iâll go capture that cultivator right this instant! Iâll let you decide what to do with him once he cures the cold poison!â growled Walter as he got up before striding toward the door.
Grabbing onto her fatherâs arm, Mia then pleaded, âFather, wait! I⦠I promise Iâll make him remove the cold poison in my body⦠Just⦠give me some time⦠Pleaseâ¦?â
âDo you promise?â growled Walter as he actively suppressed his anger.
âI swear!â declared Mia with a firm nod.
âYou have until the day the auction is over. If he leaves, itâll be like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
You only have ten months left, so if you donâ t act quick, Iâm intervening whether you like it or not,â
replied Walter who couldnât help but give in when he saw his daughterâs eyes begin to water.
âUnderstoodâ¦â muttered Mia with a nod, knowing that her father only wanted what was best for her.
âAlright⦠Now go get some rest. I wish to see the young man at the auction tomorrow. Even if he doesnât have a family, as long as he looks alright and has a good personality, Iâm willing to accept him as my son-in-law. Of course, thatâs only if my previous daughter thinks the same,â said Walter as he softened his tone.
After searching for the person possessing the Herculean Primordial Spirit for over ten years, who could blame him for feeling so overwhelmed?
âI⦠Yes father, Iâll be taking my leave firstâ¦â muttered Mia, feeling slightly embarrassed again.
Watching as his daughter left, Walter then added, âYouâll be following me to the auction tomorrow, alright? After all, I still donât know what Gerald looks like, so youâll have to point him out to meâ¦â
