Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 977

Under the moonlight, Gerald could see the man running faster and faster on the grassy ground and covered in leaves, leaving a trace of rustling sound behind him.

Gentle rustling signified how light the man's steps were, and he actually looked like he was almost sliding across the grass rather than running on it.

While Gerald had to admit that the black-clothed man's skills were the best, there was still a huge gap between the man and his.

'You're still trying to escape...?' Gerald thought inwardly while grinning slightly.

Gerald then kicked a branch off the ground with the tip of his shoe and, with great precision, he flicked it with his finger, sending it flying towards the man who was running as if Gerald had just fired an arrow!

It wasn't long before the branch connected with the man's back, creating a loud 'beep! The impact of the branch was so great that the man in black clothes found himself rolling on the ground several times until he finally rolled down the mountain slope!

To Gerald's surprise, when he went to check on the man who was supposed to be injured, the man in black was nowhere to be seen! No trace of him has ever been left behind either!

'How weird... How could he just disappear?'

He could only frown at his own carelessness as he continued to search around the area. After a while, Gerald realized that absolutely nothing was left behind so he quietly left the area.

Elsewhere, the door of the hotel room creaked open as a figure staggered in before collapsing in the bathroom.

Blood flowed out from the person's arm as they finally removed their mask, revealing the person's pretty face and long black hair. His black hair actually made his face look even paler.

'What amazing!' The woman thought inwardly as she gasped for breath before getting the gauze and started wrapping her wound.

In just the blink of an eye, the third day came and finally the open auction time began.

Although things have seemed calm on the surface in recent days, it is evident that the peace is just a facade.

After all, for three days, several troops were busy engaging in countless battles and secret rivalries.

The greatest danger, of course, comes from a great power that has no problem with mass murder.

Due to their reception of honor, Lyra and many others just sat ducks at this event. However, due to Gerald's protection, he manages to foil all of their plans, including kidnapping and assault attempts.

Things are definitely not as good and cool as they seem. However, on the day of the open auction, it was as if nothing had ever happened under the peaceful facade.

In fact, all the major powers seemed to be beaming with glee as they brought their people to participate in the auction.

Apart from the mysterious Lyra, the Takena family and the Thunderous Dragon Inc. of northern America seem to have the strongest reputation and power among the others.

As for the layout of the auction site, it was set in the open front courtyard of the mountain villa. A large stage had been set up there and row after row of seats had been prepared for the guests.

Although the Yowells themselves were event organizers, they were not qualified to sit on the platform. Instead, the people from the family were all sitting in rows of chairs right below the stage.

The eighteen strongest troops were all sitting in front, and the remaining troops were just sitting behind them.

In addition to the antidote itself, tens of thousands of spectators were also present. A crowd of people stood around the bidders and to be honest it was very crowded.

As Heidi— - dressed in formal wear— - delivered an auction speech on stage, Tulip called her classmates, “Hei! speck! Nicole! Right here! I've ordered a couple of chairs for you! ”

Hearing that, the two and a few people quickly went to where Tulip was.

They made sure to greet their teacher as they passed by. As a member of the Yowell family, Gerald certainly had to attend today's event. However, he only chose to sit in the corner.

“Are you really going to continue spending the rest of your life with that guy, Juliet.?”

The question came from one of Juliet's invited friends.
