Chapter 2349
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2349 After watching Gerald eat for a while, the salivating Yaacobâwho hadnât eaten all afternoon as wellâ
couldnât help but mutter, ââ¦U-um⦠Can I-â
Knowing how hard Yaacob had worked in the past few days, Walter nodded before interrupting, âYes, feel free to eat with us.â
ââ¦T- Thatâ¦! actually wanted to ask whether I could wait outsideâ¦â muttered Yaacob as he pointed at the door, not daring to even think about eating before the patriarch and Third elder.
Before Walter could reply, Gerald pulled Yaacob to the seat beside him before saying, âCanât you see how much food there is on the table? Thereâs no way I can finish all this alone! With that said, sit down and join me!â
ââ¦Iâ¦â muttered Yaacob with an embarrassed smile as he turned to look at Walter.
Upon seeing Walterâs nod, Yaacob gulped before sitting at the table and picking up some chopsticks.
Unlike how he usually ate, Yaacob made sure to have his meal slowly this time, occasionally turning to look at Walter to see if it was alright for him to continue eating.
Gerald, on the other hand, couldnât care less about etiquettes. In no time at all, he had already finished the dish before him. Wiping his mouth, Gerald was prompted to ask, âUncle Zeman, senior, arenât you two eatingâ¦?â
âWeâve already eaten. Donât mind us,â replied Walter cheerily.
â I see⦠Well, Iâll continue helping myself then,â said Gerald with a smile as he got up and brought another dish closer to himâ¦
It was quite a while later when Geraldâwho was now finally full-let out a satisfied belch while patting his stomach.
âWas the food to your liking, Gerald?â asked Walter while clapping his hands, prompting a few Zeman servants to clear the table. By the time the table was spick and span, more servants had already served them some freshly brewed teaâ¦
âThe meal was delectable,â replied Gerald with a nod.
âGlad to hear! Feel free to eat at our place anytime you want after this,â declared Walter as he sipped on his tea.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but raise a slight brow. Throughout his meal, he had been wondering what Walterâs true motive was for calling him over, to no avail. With that, Gerald decided to ask, ââ¦I appreciate it. Regardless, could you please tell me why you called me over nowâ¦?â
Hearing that, Walterâs smile immediately faded. Now looking much more serious, Walter ordered, â
â¦Close the door, Yaacob.â
âRight away! â declared Yaacob as he did as he was told.
Once the door was closed, Walter turned to look at Gerald before asking in a deep voice, ââ¦You possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit, correct?â
â I do,â replied Gerald, remembering how the old man in the ancient ruins had accurately stated what his cultivation level was. If even that old man could achieve that, then it wasnât surprising for Walter to be able to see through him.
âI see⦠If thatâs the case, then thereâs a small favor I need to ask of you,â replied Walter, now fully certain that Gerald was the one he had been looking for. With Geraldâs confirmation, Walterâs eyes couldnât help but water slightly as the teacup in his hand trembled in his relief.
âIâm all ears, Uncle Zeman. Iâll definitely help you if itâs within my capabilities. In return, however, I d o hope youâll answer some of my questions,â said the slightly puzzled Gerald.
Looking much more relaxed now, Walter then asked, âWhat would you like to know?â
âWhatâs your true identityâ¦? And is the island only visible during auctions?â replied Gerald after taking a deep breath, hoping to finally have his questions answeredâ¦
