    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2355


    Whatever the case was, it exined why the lower floor was much less crowdedpared to


    yesterday. What more, all the groups maintained a distance from each other, clearly worried that they


    would end up being targeted next.


    While tension was high down below, things were still rtively calm on the upper floor. After all, those


    who could afford to be in the viewing boxes were either from famous families or cultivating sects. With


    that in mind, it was obvious that they didn’t even need topete for such things.


    Regardless, after the auction went on for about half an hour, Aiden couldn’t help but look at the door for


    a moment before asking, “…Is Yaacob not joining us…?”


    “He probably has things to take care of,” replied Gerald, knowing full well that Yaacob no longer had to


    keep an eye on him after his encounter with Walter.


    “Speaking of that boy… His family is certainly powerful enough to be able to grant us ess to the


    upper floor… However, this only makes things stranger since I’ve never even heard of a cultivating


    family by the name of Zeman!” muttered Lucian. While he definitely knew a Zeman family, it certainly


    didn’t share Yaacob’s high status…


    Not wanting to talk about that family, Gerald simply replied, “…Either way, aren’t you going to bid for


    anything, uncle Grubb?”


    “Negative. It was already difficult enough for me to get those two bargains back then. Aside from that,


    not only are the auction items now immensely expensive, but I’d rather not paint myself as an


    assassination target by buying something!” said Lucian as he shook his head…


    Meanwhile, Walter and a few others were busy keeping an eye on Gerald from the hidden viewing box


    from before. Walter himself looked rather rxed. After all, not only did Gerald now know about his


    daughter’s condition, but the boy was still in his territory. As long as Gerald remained, his daughter


    would  surely have a chance  to recover…


    As for Mia, she could be seen sitting next to Walter, clearly unaware of what had taken ce the night


    before. Though she asionally snuck nces at Gerald, anytime Gerald’s gaze met with hers—


    despite not being able to see her from  the outside—, Mia immediately lowered her face, absolutely


    refusing to make eye contact with Gerald…


    Either way, after staring at Gerald for a while, Walter recalled the old woman that Gerald had


    mentioned. With that in mind, he began scanning through the individuals on the lower floor. When he


    couldn’t find anyone with a matching description, Walter was prompted to ask, “…Speaking of which,


    who exactly is that old woman that Gerald spoke of, Third elder?”


    Upon hearing that, Third elder turned to look at Mia —who was sitting in front of him—before saying,“


    That… was young mistress in disguise… She was the first to discover that he possessed the


    Herculean Primordial Spirit. With that said, she was the one that hade to his rescue —when I


    attempted to chase him down—the night Gerald identally trespassed into Mount Nimbus…”


    Confused to hear that, Walter then frowned as he asked, “…Why on earth would you even do such a


    thing, Mia?”

    Quickly averting her gaze, Mia simply replied, “I… I just felt like it!”


    Sensing dissatisfaction in her tone, Walter couldn’t help but sigh before saying in a soft tone, “For


    heaven’s sake, I’ve already promised to give you six months to get to know Gerald, haven’t I…?”


    “…And what if I still don’t like him then?” replied Mia as she looked straight into her father’s eyes.


    “Naturally, you’ll still have to undergo the process with him to expel the cold poison! While I’ll definitely


    allow you to use a different method if we find one, the likelihood of that is extremely low.


    Remember, we haven’t found any other methods in the past ten years! What makes you think that’ll


    change in theing six months?” said Walter in a soft, but firm tone.


    “So in the end, my choice doesn’t even matter, does it?” retorted Mia with a harrumph. While she was


    honestly slightly interested in Gerald, the fact that she had to copte with him no matter what made


    her reject those feelings. The more her father wanted her to do it with him, the more she didn’t want to!


    Worried that the duo would get into a quarrel, Third elder quickly interjected, “Let’s… just give the


    young mistress a bit more time, master…” Upon hearing that, Walter took in a deep breath before


    muttering, “…What a truly spoiled girl…”
