Semua Bab The Secretly Rich Man: Bab 2321 - Bab 2330

Just as they were about to dig in, however, a loud ‘thud’ could be heard, followed by a ‘crash’! Naturally, everyone immediately turned to look at the source of the sound… and were quickly greeted by the sight of a bearded young man—who looked to be in his thirties—lying in a pool of his own blood! His eyes widened in fear, the man could be seen struggling for a while, desperately attempting to ask for help. However, even when his body went fully limp, nobody seemed to care. They simply continued eating as though the one who had just died was nothing but a rat… Bringing his bowl of soup to his mouth—but clearly having lost his appetite—, Lucian then lowered the bowl again before saying, “Well, that’s probably a textbook example of what I said earlier. Poor man probably offended someone who waited till now just to murder him without any repercussions…” “Possibly. This truly is an excellent place to commit murder…” replied Gerald in a nonchalant tone… Gerald, for one, knew that auc

Utilizing the moon’s glow to guide him around, Gerald soon came across a massive mountain that stood about a kilometer away from him. Naturally, this puzzled him. After all, he should’ve been able to see the mountain the second he got on the island! It certainly didn’t help that he was positive that the mountain wasn’t there up till this point. Concluding that there was definitely a secret to be found on the mountain—that could possibly be related to the island’s secrets—, Gerald excitedly began dashing toward the place. “How absolutely unusual…” muttered Gerald under his breath as he wondered if he could just skip looking for the island—that Seadom tribe had relocated to— and finally be able to get to Yearning Island… Regardless, it was about five minutes later when Gerald stopped at the foot of the mountain. Looking up, Gerald then took a deep breath before attempting to dash forward again… only to feel his face smacking into something! “…The hell was that…?” muttered Gerald wi

“Do you have any idea who he is?” asked the young lady as she looked up, revealing just how pure she looked… After giving it some serious thought, the man in gray simply replied, “Not a clue.” In fact, it was exactly because he had no idea who Gerald was that the man ultimately decided to make his move on the boy back then. “That boy possesses the Herculean Primordial Spirit…” muttered the woman with a sigh. “…What? He does? Where did you lead him to, young mistress? Just say the word and I’ll bring him over immediately!” exclaimed the old man, his eyes glinting with excitement. “What’s the point of bringing him over?” replied the young lady. “Young mistress, the master’s been searching for the one who bears the Herculean Primordial Spirit for over ten years! Now that we’ve finally found him, we can’t just let him escape! He needs to use the primordial spirit to neutralize the cold poison in your body no matter what! Come to think of it, that boy may attempt to escape afte

It was only after the two were done with lunch when Lucian finally returned with some items that he had bought. Looking at the open food packets, Lucian couldn’t help but smile as he said, “Enjoyed your lunch?” “Ah, you’re back, uncle Grubb! I’ll go get some lunch for you,” replied Aiden as he got to his feet. “I’ve already eaten. Regardless, come look at the great bargains I got! Had I bought them elsewhere, the price would’ve easily been twofold!” said Lucian with a wave of his hand. Upon hearing that, Gerald curiously watched as Lucian opened the boxes he had just brought in. As it turned out, Lucian had bought some herbs, but Gerald wasn’t sure what kinds of herbs they were. Noticing Gerald’s confusion, Lucian then pointed at one of the herbs before explaining, “That there, is Polargrass. This fine specimen, on the other hand, is a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng…” Once Lucian was done explaining about the herbs, Gerald simply nodded as he said, “It seems that even the

Either way, Gerald wasn’t interested in those things at all. In fact, he wasn’t even planning to shop anytime soon. His priority was to investigate a bit more on what had taken place last night. Thankfully, nobody seemed to be talking about his encounter with that old man. Though that was relieving to hear, Gerald knew that he still needed to look for that old woman. He, for one, believed that she wasn’t as simple as she appeared, and that he’d probably uncover most of the island’s secrets the second he got her to talk… Regardless, upon reaching the area where stalls were becoming increasingly sparse, Gerald turned to look at Aiden before saying, “Let’s head back.” “Yeah… Honestly, this isn’t as lively as I imagined it to be…” muttered Aiden in a slightly disappointed tone. “You’re getting auctions and parties mixed up… Speaking of the auction, I wonder if there’ll be any good stuff there tomorrow…” replied Gerald with a chuckle as he turned around… only to notice a young man in
