    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1001


    Dinner? Coincidentally, Gerald himself was nning to go for a meal once he was finally able to get


    away from her.


    “…I ept!” replied Gerald with a nod. Since he was being treated to a meal, he may as well just


    ept the offer to save up on money.


    “You!”

    Though Misty Zachary had simply proposed the idea out of courtesy, she hadn’t really expected him to


    ept her offer. Her immediate response was proof of that.


    Regardless, women tended to admire heroic figures and while Gerald was certainly no hero in the


    traditional sense, she had to admit that he had indeed helped her.


    What more, he was quite handsome, and that alone made others—including Misty herself—rather


    susceptible to wanting to get to know him a bit better.


    With that out of the way, Misty then led Gerald to a nearby restaurant where they ate and chatted


    throughout their supper. Naturally, they soon got to know each other better.


    “Still, what a coincidence that you chose this ce to travel to!” said Misty.


    “And why is that?”


    “Judging from your response, I’m sure you’re unaware that starting from tomorrow, the Lovewell family


    will be hosting a treasure exchange event for the following three days! Since it’s being held a month


    earlier than it usually is, it truly is a coincidence that you managed to be in time for it!”


    “Many people from a multitude of ces—some even from abroad—attend the yearly treasure


    exchange event, you know? With so many people participating in the event, you’ll surely be dazzled if


    you attend!” added Misty.


    “I see… I’ve only heard about antique exchange events… I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of treasure


    exchange events…” replied Gerald with a bitter smile as he shook his head.


    “What’s the big deal about mere antique exchange events? Do understand that the Lovewell’s


    exchange event this time around is all-inclusive! In other words, not only are antiques going to be


    disyed during the event, but also great treasures! Speaking of treasures, as long as you have a


    treasure of your own, you’re allowed to disy it at the event.”


    “While that may not sound like much, I’ll give you an example of what that truly means. Say for


    example you currently have a jade bracelet that would normally sell for around fifteen thousand dors.


    Now, if you’re able to get it to pass the event’s treasure identification procedures, you’ll be allowed to


    raise the price of the bracelet up to a hundred and fifty thousand dors or even more during the


    event!” exined Misty.


    “I see. Regardless, the event strikes me as something that would only amuse rich people. After all, for


    someone like me, I’ll only be able to look around and possibly enjoy the fun atmosphere a little. I don’t


    really have that much knowledge on antiques and treasures in the first ce,” replied Gerald with a


    smile.


    “…I can see that you’re quite smart since you’re able to say such things! Say, I’ll let you in on a


    secret… It’s about an incident only insiders know about, so you won’t hear what you’re about to find out


    from regr people!” whispered Misty all of a sudden.


    Taking a bite of his fish, Gerald then gestured for Misty to go on as he took a sip of his drink.


    “During the exchange event four years ago, a magic artifact was put up on disy! Not only was it


    consecrated, but there were also carved inscriptions all over the ancient-looking object!”


    Hearing that, Gerald nearly spat out his drink. Swallowing what he could, Gerald then asked, “Are you


    for real?”


    Getting slightly annoyed by Gerald’s attitude again, Misty then replied, “What reason would I have to lie


    to you? You’re only a disbeliever because youck knowledge of the actual artifact! See, the artifact in


    question was a horsetail whisk which was once used by a Taoist priest in ancient times. Back then, it


    was said that if one ced it in their home, they’d be able to ward off all forms of evil!”


    “It was bought back then by a person from Japan who had spent a massive amount of money for it.


    Now here’s where it gets interesting. See, the Japanese man who bought it had a seriously ill mother


    who was already at the age of ny-eight, four years ago. Miraculously, all it took was less than half a


    year for his mother to bepletely cured! What more, she’s still alive and kicking now at the age of a


    hundred and two!”


    “Regardless, that wasn’t the only magic artifact that had been ced on disy before. In the previous


    exchange event, one of the participants sessfully bought an ancient sword that was rumored to be a


    magic artifact as well!”


    “Essentially, what I’m trying to say is that several simr items have been ced on disy throughout


    the years. While many of them simply appear to be regr antiques or treasures, their history—which


    contributes to the artifacts’ magical properties—is what makes many foreignerse over to


    participate in the event on a yearly basis.”


    cing his wine ss down, Gerald frowned slightly once she was done exining.


    With how serious she sounded, Gerald could tell that what she was saying wasn’t likely to be a hoax.


    While he hadn’t said much during Misty’s exnation, he was honestly thinking that if there were going


    to be more magic artifacts during this treasure exchange event, then he wanted her to tell him as much


    information about them as possible.


    Gerald himself believed in the power of magic artifacts. After all, from ancient times, almost allrge


    families relied on some form of mysterious power in order to suddenly rise above all theirpetitors.


    Even his grandfather owned an ancient magic artifact in the form of a picture of the sun with lines on it


    akin to veins.


    Speaking of his grandfather, he had told Gerald some time ago that the Fendersons had once


    competed with the Crawfords for half a jade pendant many years back. The pendant itself was a magic


    artifact shared by both the Crawfords and the Fendersons that symbolized their families’ fortune and


    fate.


    With it being so invaluable, his uncle—Peter—had attempted to sneak into the Fenderson family


    mansion to seek out the other half of the jade pendant. In the end, however, all he managed to do was


    refuel the rage and feud between both families.


    “…You seem to be a little too knowledgeable about magic artifacts… I’m sure they don’t share all this


    out in public right?”
