Chapter 2436
The Secretly Rich Man
The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2436 As soon as Gerald entered the backyard, he immediately heard someone yell, âF*cking hell! How much longer do you need to brew the medicine for Master, Chuck?!â
Raising a slight brow, Gerald was soon greeted by the sight of a butler mercilessly whipping the man who went by Chuck.
âIt⦠Itâs almost done, Mr. Shyuâ¦!â whimpered Chuck as he bowed fearfully.
âMake it snappy! Worthless bumâ¦!â growled Mr. Shyu who fiddled around with a hair protruding out of a mole at the corner of his face before leaving with a huff.
Now alone again, Chuck quickly continued brewing the medicine⦠However, it wasnât long after when he sensed someone standing behind him! Looking back, he was shocked to see a young man who had his hands against his back standing right behind him!
âW-who are youâ¦? I donât think Iâve ever seen you around hereâ¦â muttered the surprised Chuck.
âWho am I? Why donât you take a closer look at my face?â replied Gerald with a smirk. After saying that, Geraldâs face began to shift and within seconds, he looked exactly like Chuck!
âA-are you some kind of g- ghost or somethingâ¦?! How did you just perfectly mimic my faceâ¦?!â
whimpered the petrified man.
In response, Gerald gently poked Chuckâs forehead and just like that, the terrified man passed out!
Seeing that, Gerald waved his hand, causing the fainted man to disappear without a trace.
Now that only Gerald who looked exactly like Chuck remained in the kitchen, he couldnât help but grin as he muttered, âLetâs get you someplace to sleep for now⦠Iâll be taking over for the time being.â
The transformation technique was one of the most basic magic arts that Gerald had learned from the Velement Method. He could even transform himself into a baby, so changing his appearance was nothing to him.
Whatever the case was, now that he had his disguise up, he bent down to sniff the medicine that Chuck had been brewing. Just by doing that, Gerald could tell that the old man truly was heavily injured. After all, the pot was filled with herbs that exuded thick, Yang energy. Even so, Gerald had a feeling that the medicine wasnât going to help the Zandt patriarch too much. Either way, Gerald still needed to meet up with the old man, so he quickly continued brewing the medicine.
Once the medicine was done, he was just about to bring it out when he saw Mr. Shyu again. This prompted him to call out, âMr. Shyu! Itâs ready!â
âGood. Wouldnât it be nice if you were always this quick! Follow me!â grumbled Mr. Shyu as he led Gerald through several corridors and eventually, they arrived at the manorâs spacious interior. However, the second he stepped foot inside, Gerald could sense greatly condensed Yin energy lingering around.
âI didnât think his injury was this badâ¦â Gerald thought to himself.
Regardless, after walking for a while longer, the duo arrived at a door. Knocking gently, Mr. Shyu then said, âMasterâ¦? The medicineâs readyâ¦â
âBring it inâ¦â replied a hoarse voice that quickly turned into a violent coughing fit!
Upon entering, Gerald saw that Freyr was already coughing out blood that was oddly blue and purplish.
As if that wasnât already weird enough, shortly after the blood exited Freyrâs mouth, itâd quickly turn into ice!
Aside from that, Gerald also noticed that the manâs face was blue, and that there was a scar on his chest that seemed to still be bleedingâ¦
Making sure to carefully examine the man, Gerald quickly found out that Freyr also cultivated inner strength, though he didnât possess demonic essential qi like his eldest daughter.
Just as Gerald was wondering why that was, his train of thought was cut short when Mr. Shyu scowled, âWhat are you still standing there for? Master told you to bring it over!â
âRight away!â replied Gerald as he did as he was told.
After taking the medicine, Freyr who looked slightly better now was prompted to ask, âNow then⦠Has the Eldest Young Mistress returnedâ¦?â
âShe hasnât, though Iâve sent some men out to urge her return. She should be back any second nowâ¦
Speaking of which, the ten family experts have all come back, so you can convene the meeting with no issuesâ¦â replied Mr. Shyu.
âGood⦠goodâ¦â
Before Freyr could say anything else, a beautiful woman who looked to be around nineteen came in before asking in a worried tone, âAre you alright, Masterâ¦?â
âFifth Mistress! Youâre here!â exclaimed Mr. Shyu as he bowed toward her.
To Geraldâs surprise, when the fifth mistress walked past, he noticed her stealing a glance at him.
