Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1113
It was now extremely late at night and a cool ocean breeze blew across Halimark City.
Despite the time, the Minshall family manor was still brightly lit. Inside, all of them were having a family meeting.
“You did a truly swell job today, Zoey! Now that we have these herbs, we can continue refining the eternal pellet!” declared the old master of the Minshall family. Though he looked to be over ninety, he still looked quite strong for his age.
“You living to be over a hundred would already be a blessing to me, grandpa!” replied Zoey with a wide smile on her face.
“However, what does deserve congratulating is the fact that I barely made any effort to obtain the herbs this time around! What more, I even earned three hundred million dollars from that idiot without having to lose anything!” added Zoey as she laughed out loud.
“About that… It’d be best if you did less of this kind of thing in the future… It’s not good for our family’s good fortune… This applies to the rest of us here as well. Remember, Master Ghost calculated three years ago that the Minshalls could face some sort of disaster this year!” replied the old master with a slightly bitter smile.
“I know, grandpa… Speaking of that idiot, he’s just some foreigner yet he wanted to strike a deal with us in exchange for the herbs and the money! Haha! Now that I think about it, why don’t I send someone over to capture him? By doing so, we can blackmail and drain more cash from him!”
“You’re old enough to make your own decisions, Zoey…” replied the smiling old master as he shook his head in resignation.
The old master had already painstakingly managed his family for decades, and he had long lost any sort of fear for foreign forces. Due to that, his family members openly robbing others no longer surprised him.
At that moment, a servant walked in from outside. Carrying what looked to be some kind of document in his hands, he stopped before the old master before saying, “Old master!”
“What is it?”
“There’s a young man waiting outside and he told me to present this document—signed by the young lady—to you! He said that he’s here to claim what was agreed upon!” replied the servant.
“Humph! That fool! To think that he actually came over to us! Well that’s even better then! We don’t need to hunt him down now!” sneered Zoey.
Shaking his head with a smile, the old master then said, “Regardless, I’m interested in seeing what he actually intends to take from us…”
After picking the paper up and reading through it, however, the old master’s eyes immediately widened, immense anger reflected in them!
Hearing that, an exceptional-looking man—who was one of the Minshall family’s guests—ran up to Gerald’s back before shouting, “You b*stard! You’ll have to get through me first!”
Immediately after, he grabbed onto Gerald’s shoulders with the intent of executing a shoulder throw. Seeing how thin and weak Gerald looked, the man had no doubts that Gerald would be unable to withstand his attack.
To his surprise, no matter how hard he tried to lift Gerald, he simply couldn’t make him budge at all! Unwilling to give up, the guest’s face soon turned purple due to all the force he was exerting. Despite that, Gerald remained pinned to the ground!
“You’re going to vomit blood if you continued doing that, you know…?” said Gerald.
“W-what…? The hell did you say?” replied the guest, stunned.
“You know, I still don’t know what you’re trying to do… Here, I’ll show you how it’s done!” said Gerald rather placidly as he grabbed onto the guest’s shoulders and instantly tossed him toward the door like he was nothing!
Crashing sounds ensued just seconds later…
