Chapter 2342
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2342 âSince you know all this, are you the young master of a large family or something?â asked Aiden as he sat beside Yaacob. Though he didnât know who Yaacob really was, Aiden could tell that the youth wasnât up to anything bad.
âIf I had such a position, I wouldnât be here! â replied Yaacob with a slightly bitter chuckle. The truth was, his status wasnât exactly high within the Zeman family. He was merely a disciple who was well cared for by the upper echelonsâ¦
â I find that hard to believe. After all, not even did you have that VIP ticket, but you also know something that uncle Grubb doesnât! Tell us who you really are or Iâll toss you out!â warned Arden as he grabbed onto Yaacobâs shoulder.
âLâlook, Iâm just a regular cultivator! You just donât know about this since youâre from the secular world! â explained Yaacob.
ââ¦Humph. Logical enough,â replied Aiden as he released his grip from Yaacob.
âAlright, thatâs enough, you two. Go get some rest while you can. The auction resumes in an hour,â said Gerald as he waved his hand, prompting everyoneâexcept Yaacobâto return to their rooms Once the trio had closed their doors behind them, Yaacob quickly laid on the sofa before reporting the situation to Third elder. Upon getting the updates, Third elderâin turnâquickly relayed the information to Walter.
Walter himself had been having lunch when Third elder told him all that had happened. Once the message was relayed, Walter couldnât help but laugh before saying, âThat kid must really want to obtain something from our auction! Hmm⦠Alright, I want you to task Yaacob with finding out what Gerald likes. Weâre doing him a favor and getting it for him!â
âBut⦠wonât that make him suspiciousâ¦?â asked Third elder.
âItâs not exactly a scheme against the boy or anything, so it doesnât matter if he finds out,â replied Walter as he shook his head.
Walter wanted to contact Gerald more than ever now. The sooner the boy cured his daughterâs cold poison, the better. After all, though they kept saying that the cold poison would take effect in less than a year, it was actually just an estimation. If the cold poison suddenly went haywire, it could damage his daughterâs organs without warning! By that point, even if Gerald used his Herculean Primordial Spirit to save her life, her future would be as good as ruinedâ¦
Whatever the case was, Third elder simply nodded in response before saying, âAlright, Iâll relay the message to Yaacob immediately.â
As Third elder was sending Yaacob his new orders, Walterâwho had lost his appetite after thinking about his daughterâs conditionâwas prompted to ask, âSpeaking of which, where are the things I brought along, Third elder?â
âTheyâre in the warehouse,â replied Third elder after thinking for a bit.
âRetrieve them for me now. I must meet Gerald either tonight or tomorrow. Also, donât let Mia know about this. I wish to personally meet him to see what kind of person he truly is,â said Walter.
âUnderstood,â replied Third elder with a nod.
âAlright, return to whatever you were doing. We mustnât end up delaying this afternoonâs auction, â
muttered Walter as he looked at the time before resuming his meal.
âVery well, â replied Third elder as he left the room before quickly making his way to the warehouse.
However, he hadnât made it very far before he bumped into Mia. Mia herself was wearing a clean, white dress, her hands against her back and her pretty skin glistening under the sunâs radiant raysâ¦
