Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2321 Once Gerald had left, Lucian couldn’t help but mutter, “While it’s definitely possible to learn about theisland’s secrets if he manages to contact the auction’s organizer, they’re not a person he can just meetall willy-nilly!”
Lucian genuinely wanted to help Gerald out since not only had the boy promised to share the secrets ofthe Devotion Mirror, once he unlocked its secrets-with him, but Gerald was also willingly risking his lifeto save Lindsay! Even so, he had no idea how to even help. After all, it wasn’t like he could talk to theorganizer on Gerald’s behalf. Hell, he didn’t even know anyone who had met up with the organizer inthe past decade!
“Don’t worry too much about it. There are just some things that we can’t help with,” comforted Aidenwhen he saw how perplexed Lucian looked.
Sighing in response, Lucian replied, “I know… I just want to help him for once…”
Though Lucian was plagued with guilt, Gerald, on the contrary, was as cool as a cucumber in his room.After all, he already knew how difficult this investigation was going to be. Understanding howimmensely powerful the organizer was, Gerald had made up his mind that if he still failed to uncoverthe island’s secrets after trying his best, then he would just give up. After all, cracking the code wouldn’tdo him any good if he ended up dead. Whatever the case was, Gerald figured that he should start bysimply wandering around the island in hopes of finding potential clues.
Compared to when they had first arrived, many more food stalls had been set up by the time the trioheaded out for dinner. With so many stalls, it was no surprise that many of them sold international
cuisines from Weston, Japan, and even Meinberg, one of the smaller countries!novelbin
Eventually, however, they settled on a Weston stall and Lucian quickly ordered two Weston dishes.Shortly after, Gerald who had sensed waves of essential qi around him couldn’t help but whisper,“There’s quite a number of cultivators around us…”
“Indeed… After all, there’s a five-year gap between each auction. It only makes sense for all the largefamilies and cultivators from Asia and Southeast Asia to attend. While it may look lively now, things canget chaotic really quickly, and many bad things have happened here before. Some even take thechance to kill others during the event,” replied Lucian in a hushed tone as he slurped on his soup.
“Hmm? Doesn’t the organizer intervene?” asked Gerald with a slight frown.
“The organizer doesn’t bother with most things that happen here. As long as the auction is held andyou don’t do anything that will affect their interest, they won’t make a move. An example would be whathappened some twenty years ago… It was my third time attending the auction back then, and Iremember someone trying to steal one of the auction items. Unfortunately for him, he was quicklysubdued by a group of men in black. He didn’t even stand a fighting chance… Either way, nobody’sdared to cause any trouble since then, though fights and revenge-seeking is still quite commonplace onthis private island. After all, it isn’t under the jurisdiction of any country, so murder has noconsequences…” explained Lucian.
“I see…” said Gerald with a slight nod.
“With all that said, let’s just try not to get into any trouble here. After all, we can never be too sure howstrong one actually is here…” muttered Lucian as he got to his feet when he saw the food stall ownerwalking toward them with their dishes.
“Don’t worry, I’m just here to look around. It’s not like I look for trouble for fun,” replied Gerald with asmile.
