Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 951

Meanwhile, Gerald and his men are back home when from afar, Gerald sees a group of parked cars right in front of their manor.

"I wonder who those people are .." said Whistler, clearly feeling confused.

“From the looks of it, it must be Quest, the young master of the Westley family. He finally must have heard about the item I've been trying to find,” Gerald replied with a faint smile.

After inviting Quest into his mansion, Gerald momentarily asked himself to take Drake to another room to bandage his wounds properly. After he finished, he headed to the living room where Quest sat waiting patiently—with the documents in hand—while sipping tea.

Quest's decency clearly stemmed from his respect for Gerald. After all, it was impossible for a rich heir like him to behave so courteously to anyone in the past.

In fact, his respect for Gerald was so great that he was the one who funded the money Gerald needed to buy the factory. Therefore, it was only natural that he knew where Gerald lived as well.

“A long time ago, Search! Have you been waiting a long time?” greet Gerald as he approached the seated young man.

"Absolutely not!"

As they made small talk, Gerald recalled how reckless and arrogant the Quest was when they first met. However, he realized—during their first meeting—that if he could tame a Quest, then Quest would definitely be a great and capable assistant. Gerald's guess is certainly right.

After a short chat, the Quest cleared his throat as he headed straight for the main point.

“I'm here today, Mr. Crawford, to inform you that our investigation efforts have finally paid off! After such a long time, we were finally able to find the King of Ginseng!” quest said before gulping down a lot of water.

“...However, we currently do not have it. In fact, we've never really seen it ourselves. It was because someone beat us to find and retrieve it about half a year ago! To be honest, we wouldn't even know this if my grandfather hadn't thrown a wide net. That information actually came from a random vendor!”

“From what the seller said, a rather influential group of people hired him back then to be their guide around the mountain because he was famous for knowing the mountain path like the back of his hand. After searching for the Ginseng King for some time, they finally found him in the Valley of Depth, which was located in the depths of the mountain. After digging it up, a group of people handed over a large sum of money to the seller to keep quiet about their invention. ”

“To be honest, however, vendors feel that the money they give is too little. Thanks to his dissatisfaction and my grandfather paid the relevant people — regardless of his status — a large amount of money to collect information about the King of Ginseng so that the vendor shared what happened back then with us, ”clear Quest while taking a deep breath. .

"Yowell's family?" reiterate Gerald in surprise.

“They are another powerful family in the business field in Heavenly City, just like the Westley family. While my family was only there because we moved, Yowell was an already strong local by the time we arrived. ”

"So ... Can the vendor's information be trusted?"

Sipping water again, Quest then replied, “He can. Speaking of which, as he searched for more information, grandfather discovered that we are not the only ones who are aware that Yowell has the Ginseng King. Some local and foreign forces also seem to be aware of their discovery. As a result, some of them started taking action against the Yowells starting about three months ago. One of the more extreme cases is the kidnapping of Tulip, the second young woman from the Yowell family! His abduction was most likely related to the Ginseng King, though he was soon rescued.

“While the Yowell family is clearly good at hiding the fact that they currently have one, the fact remains that whoever holds the Ginseng King is the same as them hugging a ticking time bomb. Once you have it, being targeted will only be the norm!” whistler said with a bitter smile on his face.

Slightly frowning, Gerald then replied, “Despite how many strong groups are trying to get it, in the end I am the one who should have it!”

It was honestly no wonder why the Ginseng King was so sought after. After all, according to legend, it could make a long life.

However, it was also said that a normal person who tried to consume it would simply perish, unable to withstand the might of the Ginseng King. Gerald, however, knew that he was no ordinary person.

In order to defeat the Kort, he would definitely survive eating the Ginseng King once he got it. She must.

“After all, the Yowell family is suffering a lot right now. After all, while they had the Ginseng King in their hands now, they did not even know who to sell it to. There are too many people who want it for themselves.”

“If you want to have it, Sir, I'm afraid stealing it from them won't work. But I have a plan in mind. Whether it will work or not is another question.” Quest added.

"Continue" said Gerald.

“Well, I propose that we use some attacking tactics... We'll start by chasing after the second young lady of the Yowell family. As long as we are clever about it, we might be able to trick him into handing over the Ginseng King to us! That way, we don't have to fight right away. If things go well, we should be able to maneuver quietly with the other powerful groups as well. ”
