Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 979 “Well, from what I’ve heard, Miss Marjorie seemed to be very interested in Mr. Gerald when Mr. Quinlanand him first came to the university. However, Miss Marjorie instantly had a lot of interest in Mr. Quinlannext, the moment she found out about his background! As a result, she’s been treating Mr. Gerald likea complete stranger since then!” explained Nicole.
“Hah! What an evil woman! What’s so good about her anyway?” grumbled Tulip, dissatisfied,
Marjorie and Quinlan themselves walked past the group—hand in hand—without greeting Tulip and theothers. After all, they were here as guests today instead of being their lecturers.
As they continued walking on, Marjorie noticed Gerald who was still sitting in the same corner.
When she first found out that Gerald had gotten married to the eldest young lady of the Yowell familysome time ago, Marjorie had felt extremely anxious about it. However, she soon calmed herself whenshe realized that he was only a live-in son-in-law.
Shaking her head with a wry smile on her face, Marjorie then turned to look away from him as she andQuinlan walked on. She wasn’t obligated to greet the Yowell’s live-in son-in-law on a day like thisanyway.
It wasn’t long before everyone was seated and the auction began proceeding in an orderly manner.
The moment the Ginseng King made its appearance, a small spike of excitement could be detectedfrom the audience as everyone’s eyes lit up while looking at the legendary herb that was beingdisplayed inside a glass cabinet.
Gerald himself couldn’t help but take several glances at the Ginseng King.
‘The reiki of the Ginseng King is so compelling… It’s clear from a single glance that it truly has theability to strengthen and renew a person’s body!’ Gerald thought to himself before sighing.
By then, Gerald was starting to get both anxious and impatient. He wasn’t alone either.
Like everyone else, Gerald truly wished that he could just grab the Ginseng King now and bring it homewith him.
“The Ginseng King is a priceless gem. Regardless of how expensive it is, I, Taito Mahone, am going tobe the one to take it back with me today! Anyone who decides to go against that will immediatelysignify that you refuse to give me any face!” shouted a tanned, middle-aged man out of the blue.
“Oh my! What a coincidence! It just so happens that I’m going to be taking it back with me instead!”retorted another force.
“Are you challenging me? Do you believe that I have the ability to make sure that you won’t be able toleave Heavenly City alive?”
“Sounds rather unlikely to me!”
As both forces continued quarreling, a fight seemed to be imminent.
However, before anything else could happen, a young man who appeared to have come from MCountry stepped onto the stage before saying, “Aren’t both of you being too impatient, sirs? Let’s bereal here, everyone sitting in the front row is probably filthy rich. Because of that, no matter how highwe bid for the Ginseng King, in the end, it’ll still be completely useless. Therefore, it’s useless for bothof you to start fighting now!”
Since the young man was speaking in English, his verbal translator explained what he was saying wordby word.
“Hah! Who do you even think you are, blue-eyed boy? What do you suggest we should do then?”yelled Mahone in return.
“Personally, I say all the strong forces should just fight it out. After all, since money can’t be used as astandard to get what we want, then fighting is our second best option! The last man standing gets theGinseng King! Clean and simple!” replied the young man with a smile.
“A brawl? Do you honestly think that a young lad like you is worthy enough to be my opponent? If we’regoing all out, then none of you will be able to win against me, the great Mahone! Get down from thestage, right this instant then, young man from M Country!” yelled Mahone coldly.
“What did you say?” said the young man as he locked his gaze onto Mahone, his blue eyes as sharpas an eagle’s. They seemed to bear great meaning behind them.
It was only a second later when Mahone’s face turned pale and cold sweat began pouring out hisforehead. His eyes went dull next and all of a sudden, the arrogant man knelt with a loud ‘thud’!
“B-boss!” shouted all of Mahone’s subordinates at the same time, utterly stunned.
Mahone’s expression, however, barely even changed. It was almost as though the man had beenpossessed.
As was expected, that scene instantly created a massive uproar among the crowd.
“What?! Taito Mahone, the person infamously known for his fierceness actually knelt after receiving asingle stare from that young man?!”
“Actually, wait! Don’t any of you realize that there’s something clearly unusual about that young manfrom M Country? From the look in his eyes alone earlier, it almost seemed like his gaze could piercethrough a person’s soul!”novelbin
