Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1113
It was now extremely late at night and a cool ocean breeze blew across Halimark City.
Despite the time, the Minshall family manor was still brightly lit. Inside, all of them were having a family meeting.
“You did a truly swell job today, Zoey! Now that we have these herbs, we can continue refining the eternal pellet!” declared the old master of the Minshall family. Though he looked to be over ninety, he still looked quite strong for his age.
“You living to be over a hundred would already be a blessing to me, grandpa!” replied Zoey with a wide smile on her face.
“However, what does deserve congratulating is the fact that I barely made any effort to obtain the herbs this time around! What more, I even earned three hundred million dollars from that idiot without having to lose anything!” added Zoey as she laughed out loud.
“About that… It’d be best if you did less of this kind of thing in the future… It’s not good for our family’s good fortune… This applies to the rest of us here as well. Remember, Master Ghost calculated three years ago that the Minshalls could face some sort of disaster this year!” replied the old master with a slightly bitter smile.
“I know, grandpa… Speaking of that idiot, he’s just some foreigner yet he wanted to strike a deal with us in exchange for the herbs and the money! Haha! Now that I think about it, why don’t I send someone over to capture him? By doing so, we can blackmail and drain more cash from him!”
“You’re old enough to make your own decisions, Zoey…” replied the smiling old master as he shook his head in resignation.
The old master had already painstakingly managed his family for decades, and he had long lost any sort of fear for foreign forces. Due to that, his family members openly robbing others no longer surprised him.
At that moment, a servant walked in from outside. Carrying what looked to be some kind of document in his hands, he stopped before the old master before saying, “Old master!”
“What is it?”
“There’s a young man waiting outside and he told me to present this document—signed by the young lady—to you! He said that he’s here to claim what was agreed upon!” replied the servant.
“Humph! That fool! To think that he actually came over to us! Well that’s even better then! We don’t need to hunt him down now!” sneered Zoey.
Shaking his head with a smile, the old master then said, “Regardless, I’m interested in seeing what he actually intends to take from us…”
After picking the paper up and reading through it, however, the old master’s eyes immediately widened, immense anger reflected in them!
