The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1111-1120

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1111

His howl was so disturbing that the function had to be momentarily paused as everyone stared at the loud man.

As that continued to happen, the middle-aged man sitting beside Yasmeen—who went by the name of David Stubbs—attempted to break the awkwardness by declaring, “You know, I’m extremely sure he won’t be able to retrieve the money he claims he has! After all, we’re in the presence of the Minshall family! The Minshall family’s honor and reputation definitely won’t be affected by someone like him!”

Upon hearing his flattery, many of the present Minshall family members instantly looked at David with admiration in their eyes.

However, nobody could have expected what was to come just seconds later.

A loud slapping sound could soon be heard and almost everyone went silent.

The security guard from before had just slapped David directly on his left cheek!

Cupping his swollen cheek, David spat out a few of his broken teeth as he miserably said, “Y-you… Why did you slap me?!”

Stupefied, the guard simply replied, “I-I don’t know either!”

Before David could even make a retort, he was instantly slapped again on the other cheek!

“M-Mr. Stubbs!” shouted Yasmeen, sounding extremely worried as she looked at how swollen most of his face already was.

“What on earth are you doing, Wolfie?!” demanded Zoey in a frigid tone as she stood up from her VIP seat.

“P-please listen to my explanation first, miss!” replied Wolfie in resignation as he felt his body turn around to face Zoey before walking toward her.

“That’s quite enough! I don’t want to hear- …Hold on… What do you intend to do?” said Zoey as she watched Wolfie raise both his hands upon getting steps away from her.

Without warning, Wolfie then grabbed Zoey by her bosom!

Instantly screaming in response, Zoey then shouted, “G-get your hands off me, you b*stard!”

Following that, the other guards immediately ran over to drag Wolfie away.

Seeing that, the terrified Wolfie immediately knelt down as he cried out, “M-miss! I didn’t do it voluntarily…!”

He wasn’t lying about that either. For some mystifying reason, he truly had no control over his body earlier!

Zoey, however, wasn’t having any of that. Blushing deeply, she was adamant about teaching him a lesson!

It was at that moment when Wolfie’s body suddenly began moving on its own again… And everyone’s eyes immediately widened as the kneeling man grabbed onto Zoey’s dress before pulling it straight off!

With the dress shredded in the middle, the beauty’s lower half was completely revealed, save for the part her undergarments covered!

As Zoey screamed in fear for the second time tonight, several of the men in the room found themselves hollering!

‘D*mn! What a sight…!’

“B-bstard! You utter, bstard! Beat him to death if it’s the last thing you do!” ordered Zoey as several bodyguards dragged him out of the venue to do just that while a few others instantly handed her a set of clothes they found lying around.

Everyone went silent for a while after Zoey left the scene rather awkwardly. Gerald, however, had a faint smile on his face the entire time.

Once things calmed down a bit more, the auction simply resumed, pretending as if nothing had happened.

After clearing his throat, the host then said, “…Alright, regarding the next herb, your insight will surely be tested! We present to you, the wiqerice herb!”

“…Oh? So they truly have that herb here as well?” muttered Gerald to himself in surprise as he shook any other thoughts away.

“I told you, didn’t I, Mr. Crawford? All sorts of extraordinary herbs can be found at the medicine auction! Just say the name and they’ll have it!” replied Wagner with a smile. He was clearly in a good mood after witnessing all that had just happened.

“Since this herb is so special, the starting bidding price is three million dollars!” added the host.

Upon hearing that, the remaining Minshall family members looked at each other in dismay. Eventually, one of them shouted, “Three million dollars!”

After saying that, they immediately looked around to see if anyone would offer a higher price than that. From their reactions alone, it was evident that the Minshalls were interested in the wiqerice herb as well.

‘Could they also be aware of the magical effect of the wiqerice herb…?’ Gerald thought to himself, rather doubtfully.

With that, Gerald then shouted, “Five million dollars!”

After giving him a warning gaze, the Minshalls retorted by shouting, “Seven million dollars!”

“Holy! It’s at seven million dollars again!” shouted someone from among the crowd as an uproar began brewing again.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1112

Yasmeen herself simply looked at Gerald before shaking her head.

‘I don’t think you realize how terribly you’re going to suffer later… If you aren’t able to cough out the massive amount of money you’ve stated, then not only will the organizers go after you, but also the Minshalls!’

“A million and five hundred thousand dollars!” shouted Gerald in return.

“Hah! Has that young man already gone mad? He’s probably too far gone to offer a lower price!”

Hearing that, several of the people present began roaring in laughter. Yasmeen herself had become speechless.

“…Mister, you can’t just offer prices this high…!” reminded Wagner with kindness in mind.

“Oh? But I’m not even close to being done! I’ll say it now that regardless of the amount the others bid for, I’ll add another million and five hundred dollars to my next bid!”

“H-hot d*mn!” shouted many of the people present, feeling completely stupefied.

Even Yasmeen gasped out loud.

The Minshalls themselves didn’t dare to shout an even higher amount. After all, while they could easily offer a bid worth a billion and five hundred million dollars, they were well aware that Gerald could just refuse to admit to what he had just said. Should that scenario play out, they would certainly suffer a massive loss!

As the Minshalls continued considering their options, a guard walked over to them and whispered something into their ears.

Following that, the Minshall family members took turns glaring coldly at Gerald before continuing to increase the bid.

At long last, the final bid for the herb landed at seven million dollars! Adding that to the price of the other herbs Gerald had purchased that day, the grand total amounted to a whopping twenty-three million dollars!

Though that amount sounded outrageous, it was honestly somewhat close to what his sister received for pocket money on a daily basis.

Gerald himself had long lost the concept of what expensive meant. Money was just a bunch of boring numbers for him now.

As Yasmeen continued staring at him, she thought, ‘I’d like to see how you’re going to end all this, Gerald!’

Seeing the staff take his now nicely-wrapped herbs out, Gerald walked over to them—with his card in hand—before keying in his password at the payment terminal.

A brief moment later, the staff nodded before replying, “Thank you, sir! Here are your herbs!”

“…What?” muttered Yasmeen to herself.

Eyes widened, the girl was so stunned that she was almost convinced that all this was just a bad dream.

As Gerald walked back to his seat, Wagner laughed loudly before saying, “It seems that you’ve acquired all the herbs you needed, mister! Congratulations! I’ve already ordered my men to prepare a dinner feast for you. Think of it as a welcome party of sorts!”

Following that, Wagner began leading Gerald out of the venue. When his and Yasmeen’s gazes met, Gerald simply nodded at her as a greeting before leaving the area for good with his herbs in hand.

“After you, mister!” said Wagner the moment they arrived before his car.

The moment he said that, however, a group of about twenty bodyguards came running over, all of them glaring at Gerald!

“What do all of you intend to do?” shouted Wagner coldly as he stared back at the bodyguards gathered in front of them.

“It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy that dinner with you tonight!” replied Gerald with a placid smile.

Seconds later, the bodyguards made way for Zoey—who already had a new set of clothes on—as she walked over while saying, “I’m glad you understand that! Now leave the herbs you bid earlier behind and maybe I’ll let you live!”

“Oh? I bought it with my own valuable money, you know? Even if I were to give them to you, don’t you think I ought to receive some compensation?” replied Gerald who still needed the Minshall family’s map that led to the king of the ocean’s tomb.

“Compensation? Boy, it’s compensation enough that she’s allowing you to actually leave alive! Also, aside from handing the herbs over, you’ll need to tell your family that you’re currently being held captive! The price of your ‘ransom’ is three hundred million dollars!” declared one of Zoey’s bodyguards.

“How completely unreasonable… Then again, I do enjoy dealing with characters like yourself…” replied Gerald with a smile.

“Quite frankly, I came all the way out here to strike a deal with the Minshall family, you know? How about this? I’ll hand you three hundred million dollars as well as the herbs in exchange for something from the Minshalls… If there aren’t any further objections, then we can make the deal now…” added Gerald, still smiling.

“Agreed! Once we get the herbs and the money, you’ll be allowed to take whatever you want!” replied Zoey, laughing as she crossed her arms.

“Oh? You aren’t even going to ask what I intend to take?” asked Gerald.

“As I’ve said, as long as you hand the money and the herbs over, you can take anything you want!”

“Grab me a pen and paper, will you Wagner? After all, a mere verbal statement can’t be taken as proof!” said Gerald.

While Wagner wanted to stop Gerald, he didn’t really have a say in any of this. Knowing that, he unwillingly handed him a pen and a sheet of paper.

Once Gerald wrote the terms down, Zoey immediately signed it without even looking at what Gerald wrote.

Smiling, Gerald then said, “Very well, then! I’ll hand the herbs and money to you first for now. I’ll come and get what was agreed upon a bit later!”

“How tactful of you!”

Once Zoey and her men were gone, Wagner was already so angry that he instantly began stomping his foot! Looking at Gerald, he then said, “How could you be this careless, mister?! Now that the herbs and money are in their hands, you’ll never be able to get them back! I know how strong you are, but there are several exceptional people within the Minshall family as well! Just so you know, the Minshalls once told me to collect some herbs for them, stating that once I was done, I could just state a random price and they’d pay me the exact amount for my services! However, when the day of payment came, they refused to admit to ever making such a statement!”

Patting Wagner’s shoulder, Gerald replied, “You’re worrying too much. Everything’s fine!”

It was now extremely late at night and a cool ocean breeze blew across Halimark City.

Despite the time, the Minshall family manor was still brightly lit. Inside, all of them were having a family meeting.

“You did a truly swell job today, Zoey! Now that we have these herbs, we can continue refining the eternal pellet!” declared the old master of the Minshall family. Though he looked to be over ninety, he still looked quite strong for his age.

“You living to be over a hundred would already be a blessing to me, grandpa!” replied Zoey with a wide smile on her face.

“However, what does deserve congratulating is the fact that I barely made any effort to obtain the herbs this time around! What more, I even earned three hundred million dollars from that idiot without having to lose anything!” added Zoey as she laughed out loud.

“About that… It’d be best if you did less of this kind of thing in the future… It’s not good for our family’s good fortune… This applies to the rest of us here as well. Remember, Master Ghost calculated three years ago that the Minshalls could face some sort of disaster this year!” replied the old master with a slightly bitter smile.

“I know, grandpa… Speaking of that idiot, he’s just some foreigner yet he wanted to strike a deal with us in exchange for the herbs and the money! Haha! Now that I think about it, why don’t I send someone over to capture him? By doing so, we can blackmail and drain more cash from him!”

“You’re old enough to make your own decisions, Zoey…” replied the smiling old master as he shook his head in resignation.

The old master had already painstakingly managed his family for decades, and he had long lost any sort of fear for foreign forces. Due to that, his family members openly robbing others no longer surprised him.
