Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1180

All Gerald had always wanted to do was to live an ordinary life.

Regardless, now that he was in Lugaw City, he needed to start looking for people with strong yin physiques. For all

he knew, he needed to wander around places where lots of people gathered. In other words, busy locations like

train stations and bustling commercial streets.

With that in mind, he knew that now was a good time as any to begin the search.

From what he could see, Lugaw City was a lively place, and as he was walking around, he saw a few stalls selling

small pendants that had once been owned by the sellers’ ancestors. Some of them seemed to be selling what

seemed to be radios from back in the 1970s as well.

While looking around, Gerald noticed several people—rather excitedly—gathering around one of the stalls.

Following that, he heard a voice saying, “Sir, please! I need the money urgently to treat my sick child! Know that

this jade has been passed down by several of my ancestors! Even though my mother passed it down to me, I really

have no choice but to sell it! I’m only selling it for eight thousand! Eight thousand, I say!”

Despite the large crowd, Gerald had sharp and precise hearing, allowing him to accurately listen to the voice.

Sensing that something wasn’t right, he quickly slipped into the crowd to see what was happening for himself.

“The hell? You’re telling me that this broken piece of jade is worth eight thousand dollars? I’ll have you know that

I’ve seen many jade pendants before in my life, so I can easily tell that this is only a fake! How dare you try to cheat

me! From the quality of this thing, eight dollars would already be a massive profit for you! Now that you’ve angered

me, however, not only am I not going to give you a single cent, but I’m also going to beat you up!” declared the rich

young man as he instantly began kicking the seller.

The seller himself was a middle-aged man, and beside him, stood his young daughter.

Not wanting the rich young man to take his jade away, the man instantly knelt, clearly begging for mercy.

From what he had observed, Gerald managed to get the gist of the situation. In short, the man was in desperate

need of money to treat his seriously ill daughter. As a result, he was selling the jade pendant that his ancestors had

passed down to him for a relatively low price just to get enough to treat his child While a rich young man took a

liking to said pendant, he wasn’t willing to cough up the money that the middle-aged man was pricing it at. As if that

wasn’t enough, the rich youth was even threatening him so that he could just take the pendant by force! With all

that happening, the old man really didn’t have any other choice but to kneel and beg for mercy while holding onto

the rich youth’s trousers.

“Hey now, didn’t you hear what my husband just said? He’s an expert when it comes to appraising jades, you know?

Since he’s already confirmed that you’re trying to sell a fake for such a high price, you should be glad that we’re

letting you off easy by not calling the cops! Now let go of him already!” shouted a woman with heavy makeup on—

who had been standing by her husband’s side this entire time—as she began striking at the middle-aged man’s face

with the sharp corners of her LV handbag.

“I’m telling you that that jade pendant is worth at least fifteen thousand dollars! I’m only selling it at this low a price

because I have no other options! If you’re unwilling to buy it at that price, then please return it to me already! I’m

not selling it anymore!” cried out the man as he continued begging.

“Oh? You’re not selling it anymore, you say? Do remember that you’ve already taken my fifty dollars earlier and the

jade pendant is now in my hands! That means that our transaction has already been completed! If you want to buy

it off me again, then you’ll first have to pay me thirty thousand dollars!” declared the youth’s girlfriend in a cold

tone as she held onto the jade pendant.

“Just pay my husband that amount and this broken jade pendant is yours again! While awaiting the payment, here,

catch it!” added the woman as she instantly threw the pendant in the opposite direction.

Eyes widened, the middle-aged man instantly limped over to catch it. Of course, there was no way he was going to

be able to catch the jade pendant in time from where he currently stood.

The second the pendant fell to the ground, it instantly shattered into pieces!

“My… My jade pendant…!” shouted the man—who was already bleeding from the corner of his right eye due to

being hit by the woman’s handbag earlier—as he knelt in shock, looking like his entire world had just crumbled

along with the pendant!

“Hahaha! Looks like you weren’t able to catch the pendant in time! That’s on you so you’d better not blame me!”

squealed the woman in glee as she clapped her hands.

“You… You broke my jade pendant…! Compensate me!” shouted the middle-aged man as he immediately began

rushing toward the vile woman.

However, before he could get far, several of the rich youth’s bodyguards grabbed the man by his neck, holding him

in place.

Following that, the rich man slid his hands into his pockets as he slowly walked toward the middle-aged man…

Slapping the middle-aged man gently on the face, he then said, “As long as it makes her happy today, my girlfriend

can do anything that she pleases. If you dare ruin her mood, then believe it or not, with just a single phone call, I’ll

make sure that your daughter won’t ever be able to get admitted into any hospital! I hope you can imagine how

helpless both of you will be then with nowhere to go!”

After hearing the young man’s cold warning, the middle-aged man instantly stopped struggling. Knowing he was

completely powerless against the young man, he could only tug his own hair in frustration as he replied, “…I… I was

wrong… My jade pendant was a fake… I was the one who had attempted to cheat you of your money, so I deserve

to die!”

“Daddy!” shouted his daughter at that moment as she hurried over to her father’s side to comfort him.

Seeing that, the woman locked her arms happily with the young man’s before coquettishly saying, “It’s not fun

anymore, darling! Now let’s go!”

Just as she was about to walk off, however, she suddenly realized that someone was grabbing onto her hair…

Before she even had a chance to react, she found herself being pulled backward!

Naturally, she instantly began screaming…
