Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2340
âIt was made by the Marshall family,â explained Lucian.
âWhat kind of family are they?â asked Gerald and Aiden simultaneously.
âWell, theyâre a cultivating family well known for the tools they forge. Just so you know, most weapons and magic artifacts that cultivators use are made by this family. Do either of you recall the sword hanging in the middle of my parlor?â replied Lucian as he stroked his beard.
âI do,â replied Gerald with a nod as he recalled the longsword hung on the parlorâs wall. While he had known about it for a while now, he simply never bothered about the sword.
âIâm glad. See, that longsword was made by the Marshalls, and I managed to get my hands on it some ten years ago. While the sword itself is pretty common within the Marshall household, itâs all that a family like mine can afford. I honestly see it as a family treasure, even though itâs something that the Marshalls wouldnât even take a second glance atâ¦â muttered Lucian with a sigh.
âI see⦠But the cauldron isnât exactly a weapon⦠Why the immense price? â asked Gerald. After all, aside from its intricate details, the cauldron didnât seem to be all that special.
âTo brew medicine, of course. Itâs a medical cauldron,â replied Lucian.
âSo thatâs what itâs used forâ¦â muttered Gerald as he narrowed his eyes at the cauldron. Now the pricing made much more senseâ¦
It was at that moment when the cauldron was finally sold to a white-haired old man for a whopping hundred million dollars! The old man himself was dressed in plain clothes, and honestly looked just like a regular person. Even so, the fact that he could spend so much was enough to prove that his family was well off.
As Gerald watched the old man return to his seat, his attention fell on a young man sitting beside him.
From the way he dressed, the youth didnât seem related to him. Even so, Gerald couldnât shake the feeling that the youth felt rather familiar. While he was pretty sure he didnât know the young man, Gerald simply had a feeling that he had seen the youthâs back before.
âHow oddâ¦â muttered Gerald to himself, unsure what to make of this feeling.
Regardless, the auctionâs morning session soon ended, and those who had bought things were the first to leave. They were mostly from small families, and knowing that they wouldnât be able to buy anything else anyway, they had the right idea to leave Greendrake Island as soon as they could.
After all, they didnât want to end up getting targeted by those who failed to get their items. Not only were their items on the line, but also their lives! Such vile incidents simply werenât uncommon hereâ¦
Either way, Gerald and his party soon began leaving as well. Unbeknownst to them, Walter and Third elder were sneakily tailing them, intent on finding out more about Gerald.
Shortly after, Gerald sensed someone spying on him, so he turned around only to see nobody.
While Gerald hadnât been able to spot him, Walter couldnât help but smile as he muttered, âThat kidâs quite alertâ¦â
From what Walter had gathered, Gerald looked pretty fit and handsome. He was also the appropriate age for Mia to be with. What more, the fact that the boy was able to possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit at his age was enough to prove that his cultivation talent was far beyond most cultivators. With all that said, Walter wasnât against having such a son-in-law.
Walter believed that with his familyâs power and resources, he could definitely raise Geraldâs strength up another notch. Who knows, if things truly went that way, he could probably become the top cultivator in the world.
