Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1109
“If it isn’t Zoey Minshall…” said Wagner rather casually as he looked at Gerald.
“It’s best that you don’t get fooled by her pretty looks, Mr. Crawford… Zoey is the youngdy of the
Minshall family and she’s known for being both cruel and vicious when dealing with things… You know,
I heard that the Minshall family’s old master’s health has been deteriorating in recent years… It’s no
secret among those in Halimark City that she’s hired people to refine some sort of eternal pellet. I
guess that’s why the Minshalls organized the Enchanted Feast and invited the organizers of the
valuable herb auction here in advance. She probably already has her eyes set on a few herbs!” added
Wagner.
“Sounds to me like you’re not on friendly terms with the Minshalls. Are they the most powerful family in
Halimark City?” asked Gerald as he looked back at Wagner beforeughing wryly.
Nodding slightly awkwardly, Wagner then replied, “Well, the Yarnes were still thergest family here up
till a few hundred years ago… Now, however, my family has unfortunately fallen to second ce in
terms of power… Today, the city’s economic flow is controlled entirely by the Minshall family… Since
we’re not being granted ess into the event despite the fact that my family runs a medicine-based
business, it’s clear that the Minshalls are deliberately targeting me! I sincerely apologize for that, Mr.
Crawford… I’ll get someone to acquire and send two invitation cards to us right this instant!”
Gerald simply remained silent after hearing that.
Zoey herself soon walked close enough to stare coldly at both Gerald and Wagner. Though her
expression was frigid, she didn’t say a word to the duo. Instead, led by several security guards, she
continued walking into the venue with several others following behind her. Also notable, was an
imposing-looking middle-aged man who walked beside her the entire time.
Once inside, the security guard from earlier walked over to Zoey before respectfully saying, “Since I
didn’t allow Wagner to enter earlier, he seemed to be particrly angry, miss.”

“You did a very good job, then. I just want him to know that though the Minshalls are a foreign family,
we’ve already established our dominance here in Halimark City. Local rascals like him need to pay
attention to their own status. He of all people should know not to step into the Minshall family’s territory
as he wishes. Then again, it’s not like he can. Besides, my family had previously told him to collect
herbs that my grandpa needs within a year’s time. To think that he didn’t even pay much attention to
the request! I’ve already given him enough respect for not personally teaching him a lesson for that!”
replied Zoey calmly.
Lowering her voice slightly, she then added, “Speaking of which… Have you done the thing I told you
to?”
“Worry not, miss. Under no circumstances will it fail. We’ll definitely obtain the elixir that we’ve set our
eyes on!” replied the guard coldly.
After a few more people entered the venue, Wagner finally got hold of the invitation cards. It had taken
a short while, but both Gerald and Wagner could now enter.
Inside, Gerald soon found out that all the herbs being auctioned there truly were both ancient and
valuable. He also came to realize that he needed some of them for himself.
Though many others were already making bids for a herb when Gerald and Wagner arrived at the
bidding area, Gerald didn’t take it upon himself to be cordial.
“Seven million dors!” shouted Gerald.
Naturally, his insane proposal instantly changed the atmosphere in the venue slightly.
As several people took turns staring at the sitting youth who had made that massive bid, one of the
seated women in the room quickly eximed in surprise, “…Hmm? Yasmeen, look there! I-isn’t the one
who shouted, your junior?!”
“H-huh? You’re right! Also, did he say seven million dors earlier? He must’ve just yelled that amount
for the heck of it, right? He can’t truly be that rich, right…?”
“I’m guessing that’s the case! Regardless, how did he even sneak into this ce…? From the looks of
it, I wonder if he’s even participated in an auction before… Once you offer a price, you can’t retract it,
you know? If nobody offers a higher price he’s bound to be ruined!”
The ones who had spoken were obviously Yasmeen’s friends, and they were all feeling equally
surprised and helpless by both Gerald’s presence there and also his bidding amount.
After all, the highest price offered up till this point was only around a million dors. At the rate things
were going, they had assumed that bidding for the current herb would stop once someone offered two
million dors. To think that Gerald had actually offered seven million dors!
As the girls continued discussing among themselves, the plump man who had made the two million
dor bid sat down sensibly. Immediately after doing so, however, he shot a nce at Zoey.
Noticing his gaze, Zoey herself—who was sitting in the front row of the VIP seats—slightly narrowed
her beautiful eyes before gesturing at a security guard who was standing at the side.
Seeing that, the guard—who was none other than the one who had blocked Gerald and Wagner’s path
at the door earlier—immediately headed to where Gerald was seated before coldly saying, “Good
evening, gentlemen! Our sincerest apologies, but we need to check your invitation cards!”
“You’re telling me that among all the people here, you’re only going to check ours? That kind of
bullsh*t, don’t you think, mister?” replied Wagner as he took in a deep breath, now so angry that he
was already trembling all over.
“Since you offered such a high bid, I’m just afraid that someone snuck in here to cause trouble! As a
result, please give me your cooperation, gentlemen!”
