The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1112

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1112Yasmeen herself simply looked at Gerald before shaking her head.

‘I don’t think you realize how terribly you’re going to suffer later… If you aren’t able to cough out themassive amount of money you’ve stated, then not only will the organizers go after you, but also theMinshalls!’

“A million and five hundred thousand dollars!” shouted Gerald in return.

“Hah! Has that young man already gone mad? He’s probably too far gone to offer a lower price!”

Hearing that, several of the people present began roaring in laughter. Yasmeen herself had becomespeechless.

“…Mister, you can’t just offer prices this high…!” reminded Wagner with kindness in mind.

“Oh? But I’m not even close to being done! I’ll say it now that regardless of the amount the others bidfor, I’ll add another million and five hundred dollars to my next bid!”

“H-hot d*mn!” shouted many of the people present, feeling completely stupefied.

Even Yasmeen gasped out loud.

The Minshalls themselves didn’t dare to shout an even higher amount. After all, while they could easilyoffer a bid worth a billion and five hundred million dollars, they were well aware that Gerald could justrefuse to admit to what he had just said. Should that scenario play out, they would certainly suffer amassive loss!

As the Minshalls continued considering their options, a guard walked over to them and whisperedsomething into their ears.

Following that, the Minshall family members took turns glaring coldly at Gerald before continuing toincrease the bid.

At long last, the final bid for the herb landed at seven million dollars! Adding that to the price of theother herbs Gerald had purchased that day, the grand total amounted to a whopping twenty-threemillion dollars!

Though that amount sounded outrageous, it was honestly somewhat close to what his sister receivedfor pocket money on a daily basis.

Gerald himself had long lost the concept of what expensive meant. Money was just a bunch of boringnumbers for him now.

As Yasmeen continued staring at him, she thought, ‘I’d like to see how you’re going to end all this,Gerald!’

Seeing the staff take his now nicely-wrapped herbs out, Gerald walked over to them—with his card inhand—before keying in his password at the payment terminal.

A brief moment later, the staff nodded before replying, “Thank you, sir! Here are your herbs!”

“…What?” muttered Yasmeen to herself.

Eyes widened, the girl was so stunned that she was almost convinced that all this was just a baddream.

As Gerald walked back to his seat, Wagner laughed loudly before saying, “It seems that you’veacquired all the herbs you needed, mister! Congratulations! I’ve already ordered my men to prepare a

dinner feast for you. Think of it as a welcome party of sorts!”

Following that, Wagner began leading Gerald out of the venue. When his and Yasmeen’s gazes met,Gerald simply nodded at her as a greeting before leaving the area for good with his herbs in hand.

“After you, mister!” said Wagner the moment they arrived before his car.

The moment he said that, however, a group of about twenty bodyguards came running over, all of themglaring at Gerald!

“What do all of you intend to do?” shouted Wagner coldly as he stared back at the bodyguardsgathered in front of them.

“It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy that dinner with you tonight!” repliedGerald with a placid smile.

Seconds later, the bodyguards made way for Zoey—who already had a new set of clothes on—as shewalked over while saying, “I’m glad you understand that! Now leave the herbs you bid earlier behindand maybe I’ll let you live!”

“Oh? I bought it with my own valuable money, you know? Even if I were to give them to you, don’t youthink I ought to receive some compensation?” replied Gerald who still needed the Minshall family’s mapthat led to the king of the ocean’s tomb.

“Compensation? Boy, it’s compensation enough that she’s allowing you to actually leave alive! Also,aside from handing the herbs over, you’ll need to tell your family that you’re currently being heldcaptive! The price of your ‘ransom’ is three hundred million dollars!” declared one of Zoey’sbodyguards.

“How completely unreasonable… Then again, I do enjoy dealing with characters like yourself…” repliedGerald with a smile.

“Quite frankly, I came all the way out here to strike a deal with the Minshall family, you know? Howabout this? I’ll hand you three hundred million dollars as well as the herbs in exchange for somethingfrom the Minshalls… If there aren’t any further objections, then we can make the deal now…” addedGerald, still smiling.

“Agreed! Once we get the herbs and the money, you’ll be allowed to take whatever you want!” repliedZoey, laughing as she crossed her arms.

“Oh? You aren’t even going to ask what I intend to take?” asked Gerald.

“As I’ve said, as long as you hand the money and the herbs over, you can take anything you want!”

“Grab me a pen and paper, will you Wagner? After all, a mere verbal statement can’t be taken asproof!” said Gerald.

While Wagner wanted to stop Gerald, he didn’t really have a say in any of this. Knowing that, heunwillingly handed him a pen and a sheet of paper.

Once Gerald wrote the terms down, Zoey immediately signed it without even looking at what Geraldwrote.

Smiling, Gerald then said, “Very well, then! I’ll hand the herbs and money to you first for now. I’ll comeand get what was agreed upon a bit later!”

“How tactful of you!”

Once Zoey and her men were gone, Wagner was already so angry that he instantly began stompinghis foot! Looking at Gerald, he then said, “How could you be this careless, mister?! Now that the herbsnovelbin

and money are in their hands, you’ll never be able to get them back! I know how strong you are, butthere are several exceptional people within the Minshall family as well! Just so you know, the Minshallsonce told me to collect some herbs for them, stating that once I was done, I could just state a randomprice and they’d pay me the exact amount for my services! However, when the day of payment came,they refused to admit to ever making such a statement!”

Patting Wagner’s shoulder, Gerald replied, “You’re worrying too much. Everything’s fine!”
