Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1459
“…I simply came today to widen my knowledge and meet up with old acquaintances, Young Master Dun. I wouldn’t
dream of ruining your fun!” replied Terrance, clearly suffering in silence.
“Hahaha! I’m glad to hear that! Still, a little bird told me that after you went bankrupt half a year ago, you’ve been
looking far and wide for exceptional masters! I do wonder if you’ve found any… Quite frankly, the Duns have also
been helping you locate the true criminal behind the scenes this entire time! Once we find the culprits, we’ll
definitely avenge you!” declared Federico coldly.
“I appreciate you going through all that trouble!” replied Terrance who was still trying his best to suppress his anger
as the corners of his mouth twitched erratically.
“There’s no need to thank me! It’s what a junior should do for his senior anyway!” said Federico before roaring out
in laughter and walking into the venue.
As the black-robed man followed Federico in, he made sure to take a few glances at Gerald…
Regardless, once they had entered, Perla immediately grumbled, “To think that we’d bump into that person here…
He even had the audacity to pretend to be a good guy…!”

entire time.
“Was that old man the person who had beaten you up?” asked Gerald rather casually.
“That’s right, Mr. Crawford! He’s extremely powerful…!” replied Terrance.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded in response without saying another word.
Meanwhile, knowing that they were now quite a distance away from Terrance, Federico quickly dropped his
mischievous smile before turning to look at the black-robed man.
With a rather stern face, he then asked, “You kept looking at that youth by that old b*stard’s side earlier… Why is
that, master? Do you have some kind of history with him, master?”
“As a matter of fact, I do!” replied the black-robed man in a husky, old voice.
“Then, I assume you’re well-acquainted with him? Who exactly is he?”
“Just know that he’s an old acquaintance of mine! Either way, he’ll be dead soon! Haha!” replied the old man.
Though his voice wasn’t all that loud, his words alone were enough to send chills down anyone’s spine…
Regardless, the auction was about to begin soon, and Gerald—and the others—quickly found seats nearing the rear
end of the venue.
From what Terrance had told him, the large-scale auction was organized by the Waddys, the most powerful family
in the Jenna Province. They were so powerful that even the Duns had to attend, just to pay the Waddy family some
respect.
While Perla was worried that Federico would continue finding faults with them there, Terrance himself wasn’t the
least afraid.
Not long after, the auctioning then began. As per usual, most of the initial auction items were pretty unimpressive.
The second the horsetail whisk was put up for auction, however, all the spectators instantly found themselves
momentarily holding their breaths.
“This fine item here is called the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk, and it’s a relic from the Warring State Period that’s
claimed to also be a magic artifact! With that in mind, the starting price for this item is twelve million dollars!”
shouted the host.
Upon hearing that, the crowd instantly broke into an uproar!
While it was true that many of those present could sense that it was a good item, none of them had anticipated the
outrageous price of twelve million dollars!
Though several people among the crowd were now discussing the atrocious price, none of them dared to bid for

Amidst all the chaos, Federico simply exchanged glances with the black-robed man. Following that, Federico then
nodded before raising his hand.
Upon seeing that, the host instantly declared, “Oh? It appears that Young Master Dun is offering twelve million
dollars!”
Hearing that, Terrance then turned to look at Gerald before saying, “Mr. Crawford…”
“There’s no rush. Let’s just wait for a bit longer!” replied Gerald calmly.
At that moment, a coquettishly-dressed woman—who was sitting behind them—excitedly shouted, “Oh dear, please
move aside! You’re blocking me from taking photographs!”
Turning around, Gerald saw that several other men and women were with her, and the females in that group—in
particular—were all behaving like fanatic fans as they stared at Federico who was sitting in the front row.
“Oh gosh, our Young Master Dun is so handsome…! To think that his first offer would be twelve million dollars too!
We definitely have to take a group photograph with him later!”
“I know, right? Aside from those from the Waddy family, Young Master Dun is undoubtedly the second most
powerful person within the Jenna Province! Just look at how liberal he is with his money! Either way, there’s
probably nobody else who’d dare to offer a price higher than that!” squealed the women excitedly.
