Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 951
Meanwhile, Gerald and his men were returning home when from afar, Gerald noticed a team of cars
parked right in front of their manor.
“I wonder who those people could be…” said Whistler, evidently feeling confused.
“From the looks of it, that should be Quest, the young master of the Westley family. He must finally
have news regarding the item I’ve been trying to locate this entire time,” replied Gerald with a subtle
smile.
Upon inviting Quest into his mansion, Gerald momentarily excused himself to bring Drake to another
room to have his wounds properly bandaged. Once that was done, he headed to the living room where
Quest sat waiting patiently—with a document in hand—while sipping some tea.
Quest’s politeness clearly stemmed from his respect toward Gerald. After all, it would’ve been
impossible for a rich heir like him to behave so courteously to anyone in the past.
In fact, his respect for Gerald was so great that he was the one who had funded the money Gerald
needed to purchase the factory. Due to that, it was natural that he’d know where Gerald lived as well.
“It’s been a while, Quest! Have you waited long?” greeted Gerald as he approached the seated youth.
“Not at all!”
As they exchanged pleasantries, Gerald recalled how reckless and arrogant Quest had been when
they first met. However, he realized—during their first encounter—that if he could tame Quest, then
Quest would surely turn out to be an excellent and capable assistant. Gerald’s guess was, of course,
correct.
After a brief chat, Quest cleared his throat as he went straight to the main point.
“I’m here today, Mr. Crawford, to tell you that our investigation efforts have finally paid off! After so long,
we’ve finally been able to locate the Ginseng King!” said Quest before taking arge gulp of water.
“…However, we don’t currently have it. In fact, we’ve never actually seen it for ourselves. That’s
because someone beat us to finding and retrieving it about half a year ago! Honestly, we wouldn’t even
have found out about this if my grandpa hadn’t cast a wide. The information actually came from a
random vendor!”
“From what the vendor said, a group of rather influential people hired him back then to serve as their
guide around the mountain since he was famous for knowing the mountain paths like the back of his
hand. After searching for the Ginseng King for some time, they eventually found it in Depth Valley,
located in the depths of the mountain. Upon digging it up, the group of people handed the vendor a
large sum of money to keep quiet about their discovery.”
“In all honesty, however, the vendor felt that the money they provided was simply too little. It was
thanks to his dissatisfaction and my grandpa paying relevant people—regardless of status—huge sums
of money to gather information about the Ginseng King that the vendor shared what had happened
back then to us,” exined Quest as he took in a deep breath.
Lowering his voice, Quest then added, “…The Ginseng King is currently in the hands of the Yowell
family.”
“The Yowell family?” repeated Gerald in surprise.
“They’re another powerful family in the business field in Heavenly City, just like the Westleys. While my
family is only there because we moved in, the Yowells are locals who were already powerful by the
time we arrived.”
“I see… Can the information from the vendor be trusted?”
Taking another sip of water, Quest then replied, “He can. Speaking of which, while he was scouring for
more information, grandpa found out that we’re not the only ones aware that the Yowells have the
Ginseng King. A few local and foreign forces seem to be aware of their discovery as well. As a result,
several of them began taking action on the Yowells starting from around three months ago. One of the
more extreme cases was the kidnapping of Tulip, the second youngdy of the Yowell family! Her
kidnapping was most likely linked tothe Ginseng King, though she was promptly rescued.”
“While the Yowells are certainly good at hiding the fact that they currently own it, the fact remains that
anyone holding on to the Ginseng King is akin to them hugging a ticking time bomb. Once you own it,
being targeted will simply be the nrom!” said Whistler with a bitter smile on his face.
Frowning slightly, Gerald then replied, “Regardless of how many powerful groups are attempting to get
their hands on it, I must be the one to own it in the end!”
It was honestly no wonder why the Ginseng King was so well sought-after. After all, ording to
legends, it was able to promote longevity.
However, it was also said that normal people who attempted to consume it would simply perish after
doing so, unable to endure the power of the Ginseng King. Gerald, however, knew that he was no
regr person.
In order to defeat Kort, he would definitely survive eating the Ginseng King once he got his hands on it.
He had to.

“Regardless, the Yowells are suffering rather terribly at the moment. After all, while they do have the
Ginseng King in their hands now, they don’t even know who to sell it to. There are simply too many
people who want it for themselves.”
“If you wish to own it, sir, I’m afraid that stealing it from them isn’t going to work out well. I do, however,
have a n in mind. Whether it’ll work or not is another question…” added Quest.
“Go on,” said Gerald.
“Well, I propose that we use some outnking tactics… We’ll start by going after the second youngdy
of the Yowell family. As long as we’re slick about it, we may be able to deceive her into handing the
Ginseng King over to us! That way, we won’t have to resort to fighting immediately. If all goes well, we
should be able to maneuver covertly with the other powerful groups as well.”
