The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2331

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2331 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 Nimbus’s direction, Gerald then said, “That huge mountain over there.”

When Gerald turned to look at where he was pointing, however, he quickly realized that the mountain had disappeared once more.

Now getting a fuller picture, the young man simply replied, “You’ll learn more about it in the future.”

While Mount Nimbus was one of his family’s secret mountains, upon considering Gerald’s identity and the fact that maybe the patriarch or young mistress would eventually explain things to him, the young man chose not to straight out play dumb.

“Elaborate,” said Gerald with a slight frown.

“B-before that… Could you move the dagger away from my throat…? A slip of your hand and my life will be over…! Believe me when I say that I have no intentions of stalking or fighting you…!” replied the man as he pointed at the dagger while chuckling nervously.

Knowing that the man really wasn’t planning to fight, Gerald then withdrew his dagger before saying, “Tell me the whole story.”

“Speaking of which, the name’s Yaacob Zeman… What about you?” asked the man as he pretended not to hear Gerald’s question.

“Gerald Crawford,” replied Gerald with a slight frown.

“Alright, I admit that I was tailing you, but I honestly don’t wish to fight. While I can’t tell you any more than that, you’ll learn more about it in the future…” muttered Yaacob when he sensed that Gerald wasn’t going to let him off till he knew the truth.

“What do you mean I’ll learn more then? Just tell me already. You’re with the auction’s organizer, no?” replied Gerald, confused as to why the man was so hesitant to elaborate.

“I am…” muttered Yaacob with a nod.

“Regardless, aren’t you being a bit too casual around me? Keep in mind that we’re complete strangers,” replied Gerald with a sigh as he sheathed his dagger.

Grinning sheepishly, Yaacob then scratched the back of his head as he said, “I’m sure that’ll change in the future… Either way, since I’ve been discovered, do allow me to just stay by your side.”

Knowing that he had no right to stop the man since it was his fault for trespassing in the first place, Gerald simply replied, “Do as you want…”

“I’m glad to hear that! Since we’ve gotten acquainted now do let me treat you to dinner! There are plenty of delicacies on our island and I can definitely lead you to the best food!” said Yaacob as he placed his arm around Gerald’s shoulder, showing just how easy going he was.

“I’m full,” replied Gerald with a sigh.

“Then allow me to lead you around the island! In case you weren’t aware, the scenery here isn’t all that bad!” said Yaacob in an enthusiastic tone.

Upon hearing that, Gerald was reminded of what Lucian said the day before. With that, he was prompted to say, “Speaking of which, there’s something I’d like to get clarified.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Ask away!” replied Yaacob as he patted his chest.
