Chapter 2348
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2348 âWe have. Donât you remember?â replied Third elder with a smile.
ââ¦Youâre⦠the old man who chased me back then, right?â said Gerald after giving the old man a closer look. While he hadnât had the chance to give Third elder a proper look back then, the seniorâs aura and figure were enough for Gerald to figure out who he was.
âIndeed. I have to admit that you were faster than I expected, â replied the grinning Third elder.
âI have another senior to thank for that. Had she not stepped in, I wouldâve surely been caught back then⦠Speaking of which, I wonder if both of you are acquainted with that old womanâ¦â said Gerald a s he shook his head with a smile.
ââ¦An old woman?â replied Walter with a slightly raised brow.
âSheâs probably just someone from the auction,â said Third elder, despite knowing that the old woman was actually the young mistress in disguise. He, for one, knew that this wasnât the best time to reveal her identityâ¦
Regardless, Gerald simply nodded as he replied, âI guessâ¦â
Shortly after, Yaacob came running back into the room. After whispering something into Walterâs ear, the middle -aged man stood up with a chuckle before declaring, âThe mealâs ready, my friend.
Come try my chefâs top-notch cooking! If you like his dishes, then feel free to have your meals here throughout the auction period! â
After watching Walter and Third elder leave, Gerald quickly pulled Yaacobâwho was about to follow them outâto the side before whispering, âAlright, itâs high time you told me who they really are.â
ââ¦I-Iâm sorry, but I canât say a wordâ¦! â replied Yaacob in a helpless tone.
ââ¦For heavenâs sakeâ¦â grumbled Gerald, utterly discouraged that he hadnât been able to get a single word out of Yaacob. Knowing that he wasnât going to get anything out of the boy, Gerald simply began heading to the dining room which wasnât too far off Upon arriving at the equally plain -looking room, Gerald saw that a lot of food had already been served on the round table inside. What more, there was a strong aroma of wine lingering in the airâ¦
Watching as Gerald entered, Walter quickly beckoned while saying, âThere you are! Come, have a seat!â
While Gerald was unable to tell what Walterâs level of cultivation was, he knew for a fact that the middle- aged man was much stronger than him. After all, why else was his Herculean Primordial Spirit unable to detect Walterâs true strength?
Whatever the case was, after obeying Walterâs orders, Gerald was prompted to ask, ââ¦Speaking of which⦠Could you tell me who you areâ¦? Iâm not quite sure how to address youâ¦â
After a slight pause, Walter replied, ââ¦I go by Zeman. You can just call me Uncle Zeman.â
Upon seeing how hesitant Walter was being, Gerald knew that he wasnât going to get any more information out of the man. Still, at the very least, he now knew that Walter shared the same family as Yaacob. Whatever the case was, Gerald then said, âA pleasure to meet you, Uncle Zeman.â
Laughing in response, Walterâwho was pleased to hear what Gerald had just called himâthen declared, âThe pleasureâs mine! Either way, go ahead and dig in! You know, though Iâve been away all these years, I still like Weston cuisine best!â
After a slight nod, Geraldâwho had worked up quite an appetite from sitting in the viewing box all afternoonâbegan helping himself to the food, leaving Walter and Third elder to simply stare silently as he ate, not wanting to interrupt his meal.
Walter, for one, already saw the boy as his son-in- law. After all, not only was Gerald at a suitable age, but he was also strong and possessed rather high cultivation, as expected of the owner of the Herculean Primordial Spirit.
Back when he first found out about the cold poison in Miaâs body, he had been determined to get the owner of the Herculean Primordial Spirit to help her, even if it meant that his daughter would have to copulate with an elderly man or a crippled gangster. With that in mind, it only made sense why Walter saw Gerald as a best-case scenarioâ¦
