Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2345 Whatever the case was, though everyone had expected more exciting items to be on auction— since the beast-shaped cauldron was up for grabs that morning—, they ended up getting disappointed since only a few rare items were sold. While it was true that such rare items would’ve undoubtedly caused a stir among regular people, the attendees were cultivators from large families. In other words, the items that afternoon were pretty much garbage to them.

Either way, by the time the auction was over—and everyone began leaving—, it was already dark.

While quite a few people had dispirited expressions on their faces, after sitting there for an entire day, everyone was so tired that they were more eager to return to get some rest…

Naturally, Gerald and his party walked among this crowd. As they were walking, however, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly. He, for one, could sense that someone was following him. Instead of turning around this time, however, he simply continued walking forward. After all, he hadn’t bought anything to garner an attack from enemies. With that in mind, the ones tailing him were most probably the organizer’s men. Yaacob was by his side too, so what else could he have done?

Regardless, just like in the afternoon, they had a quick meal before returning to their living room…

Shortly after, Yaacob inched closer to Gerald, looking clearly hesitant. Seeing that, Gerald then got up before walking to his room, prompting Yaacob to follow after.

Sitting at the table by his bed, Gerald then lit a cigarette before calmly asking, “So, what is it?”

“…Well… I just got a message stating that my family wishes to discuss something important with you right now…” muttered Yaacob with a gulp, clearly worried that Gerald would refuse.

Puffing on his cigarette, Gerald simply nodded before saying, “Sure, lead the way.”

“…Huh? You’re… willing to just go like that…?” asked Yaacob who was caught off guard by the response.

“What, do I need to change into something fancier first?” replied Gerald with a chuckle.

“N-no… I just thought that you wouldn’t agree so easily…” muttered Yaacob as he shook his head.

n isolated part of the island. In other words, escape was pretty much impossible. With that in mind, he may as well just go along and see how things went before thinking of his next step.

Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when Yaacob pointed at the houses before saying, “This is where we live, brother Gerald.”

“…I see. Tell me, what’s your rank in the family again…?” asked Gerald.

“I’m… just an ordinary disciple…” muttered Yaacob as he scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment.

Nodding in response, Gerald then said,“ I see. Well… lead the way.”

Following that, Yaacob revealed his identity to the men in grey, granting the duo access into one of the houses. Under Yaacob’s lead, Gerald was soon brought to a basic-looking room that only had a few chairs inside.

Once Gerald sat down, Yaacob bowed to him before saying, “Please wait for a moment, brother Gerald. I’ll inform my senior of your arrival.”

Nodding in response, Gerald then closed his eyes as Yaacob left the room.
