Semua Bab The Secretly Rich Man: Bab 2331 - Bab 2340

Feeling something cold against his neck, the man then looked down… and realized that there was a dagger against his throat! “Care explaining why you’re following me?” asked Gerald as he squinted his eyes. “Y-you’ve got it wrong, brother! I have no reason to follow you around!” replied the young man with a gulp as he smiled awkwardly while raising both his hands. Upon hearing that, Gerald was slightly taken aback. After all, not only did the young man not choose to resist or threaten him, but he didn’t fluctuate his essential qi at all! Though he wasn’t expecting such a reaction, Gerald simply took a deep breath before replying, “…Is this because I trespassed to the forbidden area last night?” “…Forbidden area?” asked the young man, utterly confused. After all, he had no idea that Gerald had headed to Mount Nimbus last night. All he had been told was that the boy possessed the Herculean Primordial Spirit and that he wasn’t allowed to leave the island… Pointing toward Mount Nim

Though Yaacob didn’t appear too suspicious and mostly felt trustworthy to Gerald, the man was still part of the organizer’s family. Since Gerald knew little about that family, he remained rightfully vigilant around Yaacob. Regardless, since Yaacob followed Gerald all the way back to his room, Aiden—who had been lying on the couch—instantly got up before asking, “…Who’s this, then?” “He’s just a friend I got to know. Regardless, ‘friend’, you won’t be staying with us, correct? After all, there are only three rooms and three beds here,” replied Gerald—who clearly didn’t want Aiden to know the whole story yet—as he turned to look at Yaacob. “Oh, don’t worry about me. I’ll just go get another room!” said Yaacob as he shook his head, knowing that his mission was merely to keep a close eye on Gerald, not to be at his side at all times. Either way, once Yaacob left, Gerald could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Pouring himself a glass of water, Gerald then asked, “Speaking of which,

“Then what are you waiting for, Mia? You have less than a year left! If we don’t act quick, the boy may leave and we may not be able to locate him again!” replied Walter in an urgent tone. After all, his daughter’s life was on the line! Upon hearing that, Mia couldn’t help but blush as she muttered, “…Please leave me and my father be for a moment…” Nodding in response, Third Elder and the others quickly left the room… Once they were gone, Mia clenched her sleeves before adding in a tiny voice, “…Father, I’m sure you’re aware of what I have to do with that boy in order to cure the cold poison in my body…” After a brief pause, Walter then replied, “…I’m well aware.” “Then can I at least get to know this person first…? I need to at least be able to accept him before allowing him to treat my cold poison, right…?” said Mia, feeling extremely embarrassed. “…You’re being too picky! While I know that it’d be best if you could be together with that boy, beggars can’t be choosers. If

The auction itself was being held in a huge, round building in the middle of the island that somewhat resembled a Roman colosseum, mostly because its center was hollow to allow for better lighting. Aside from that, the auction house was two stories high, with the upper floor being a round platform with several well-arranged ‘boxes’ where the audience could sit. All the boxes were surrounded by clear, tempered glass that allowed the audience to see the auction table on the first floor. Speaking of the first floor, there were at least three hundred rows of wooden benches down there. Before the benches, stood the auction table, and behind the table, were two wooden doors that gave access to the backstage. Whatever the case was, people were already swarming into the building at eight in the morning. As for Gerald and his party, since they had Yaacob’s ticket with them, they simply ascended the wooden staircase—beside the auction house—before heading to the upper floor. When the clans

“…What? This book contains a cultivator technique. You said you wanted to be a cultivator, didn’t you?” replied Gerald as he laughed out loud. “…Huh? This book contains a technique…?” muttered Aiden in slight disbelief as he looked at the tattered book in his hand. Aiden, for one, had assumed that books that taught such precious information would be kept in the finest conditions. In other words, the complete opposite of what he was holding! Had Aiden not been told what the book contained, he would’ve simply assumed that Gerald used it to pad table legs! “Do I have to repeat myself?” replied Gerald as he rolled his eyes. “Well, no… but… really, I thought you were handing me some kind of ancient novel!” exclaimed Aiden with a sheepish chuckle before carefully sliding the book into his pocket, not wanting to accidentally damage the already tattered book. “Either way, do read it when you can. Feel free to ask me if there’s anything you don’t get,” replied Gerald as he watched Aiden
