The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2341 Watching as Walter smiled, Third elder couldnât help but ask, âDoes he satisfy you, patriarch?â
âQuite, though I canât say for sure yet since I still donât know what his personality is like. We donât know much about his family or guardians either. Regardless, if there arenât any problems in those areas, then Iâm not against him becoming my son-in-law,â replied Walter with a nod.
Walter, for one, knew that if Gerald was capable of possessing the Herculean Primordial Spirit at his current age, he would definitely be a big shot in the cultivation realm in another ten to twenty years.
With that in mind, he wasnât about to miss his chance to obtain such an outstanding son-in-law.
âWho are you calling son-in-law, father? That sounds so awkward!â exclaimed Miaâwho had been quietly following them this entire timeâ before grabbing onto her fatherâs arm.
âWell⦠isnât he the best possible choice for you? If he can pass my test, then your reputation will surely be preserved, â replied Walter in a doting tone as he patted his shy daughterâs head.
âButâ¦! You canât just decide something like thisâ¦! â mumbled Mia who was now as red as a tomato.
ââ¦This girl⦠Regardless, Third elder. Arrange a meeting for me with that kid. Make sure not to tell him who we truly are or we may scare him away! â ordered Walter.
âVery well,â replied Third elder with a nod.
Watching as Gerald disappeared into the crowd, Walter then hastened his footsteps as he muttered, âReturn early this afternoon⦠I want to get a better look at that kidâ¦!â
Fast forward to later that noon, everyoneâafter having a simple lunchâreturned to their room to rest.
Though Yaacob followed them back, he simply sat silently on the sofa.
Gerald, on the other hand, sat opposite of him, frowning as he thought about the odd person he had seen this morning. By this point, Gerald was
pretty sure that he had never met the man before. So why did he feel that that personâs back felt so familiarâ¦?
Seeing how serious Gerald looked, Lucian was prompted to ask, âThinking about something?â
Upon hearing that, Yaacob instantly turned vigilant. After all, his mission was to get to know Gerald as much as possible. âNothing much. I was just wondering what kind of items and outrageous prices would pop up in the next two and a half days. After all, the items this morning already got to such immense prices,â replied Gerald as he put his earlier thoughts aside.
âThey wonât be things we can afford, thatâs for sure â muttered Lucian with a sigh. Lucian had saved two million dollars for Gerald, but if the boy found something he liked in the coming days, he seriously doubted that two million would be enough for the item.
Before Gerald could reply, Yaacob suddenly said,â Hold on, who told you that the auction would only last for three days?â
ââ¦Huh? Throughout the many years Iâve attended, the auction has always lasted for only three daysâ¦
â muttered the puzzled Lucian.
âThatâs only for the regular people. The auction actually lasts for five days. The real good stuff starts appearing on day four. By that point, only the richest of the rich are allowed to remain, so it explains why youâve always assumed that the auction ends on the third day,â explained Yaacob as he shook his head.
ââ¦W-whatâ¦? How⦠do you even know about all thisâ¦?â asked Lucian who knew that Yaacob had no reason to lie to them. Still, how had he come across the information?
ââ¦That⦠I uh⦠Just found out about it by chance! â replied Yaacob after freezing for a moment, an awkward smile on his faceâ¦
