Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1001

And dinner? Coincidentally, Gerald himself planned to go out to eat once he could finally get away from her.

"…I accept!" gerald replied with a nod. Since he was being treated to food, he might as well accept the offer to save some money.

"You!"

Although Misty Zachary only proposed the idea out of courtesy, he didn't really expect him to accept his offer. His immediate response was proof.

Regardless, women tend to admire heroic figures and while Gerald is definitely not a hero in the traditional sense, he must admit that he did help her.

Moreover, he is quite handsome, and that alone makes others — including Misty himself — rather vulnerable to want to know him a little better.

With her out of the way, Misty then took Gerald to a nearby restaurant where they ate and chatted throughout their dinner. Naturally, they immediately got to know each other better.

“Stay, it just so happens that you chose this place to travel!” misty.

“And why is that?”

“ Judging from your response, I'm sure you didn't realize that starting tomorrow, the Lovewell family will be holding a treasure exchange event for the next three days! Since it was held a month earlier than usual, it really is a coincidence that you managed to be on time for it! ”

“Many people from various places—even from abroad—attend the annual treasure exchange event, you know? With so many people participating in the event, you will definitely be blown away if you attend!” added Misty.

“So... I've only heard of antiques exchange events..I guess I haven't even heard of treasure exchange events.” Gerald replied with a bitter smile while shaking his head.

“What's the problem about a mere antiques exchange event? Understand that the Lovewell exchange event this time includes all! In other words, not only antiques will be displayed during the event, but also incredible treasures! Speaking of treasure, as long as you have your own treasure, you are allowed to display it at the event. ”

“Although it doesn't sound like much, I'll give you an example of what it really means. Let's say for example you currently have a jade bracelet that usually sells for around fifteen thousand dollars. Now, if you can get it to pass the event's Treasure Identification procedure, you will be allowed to raise the price of the bracelet to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or even more during the event! misty.

"I understand. After all, the show was in my opinion as something that would only entertain the rich. After all, for a person like me, I can only look around and maybe enjoy a little bit of a pleasant atmosphere. I did not have much knowledge about antiques and treasures from the beginning, ” Gerald replied with a smile.

While biting the fish, Gerald then gestured for Misty to continue while sipping his drink.

“During an exchange event four years ago, a magic artifact was on display! Not only were they ordained, but there were also carved inscriptions all over the ancient-looking objects! ”

Hearing that, Gerald almost spewed out his drink. Swallowing what he could, Gerald then asked, "Are you real?"

A little upset with Gerald's attitude again, Misty then replied, “What is the reason I should lie to you? You are only an infidel because you have no knowledge of actual artifacts! See, the artifact in question is a ponytail shaker that was once used by a Taoist priest in antiquity. Back then, it was said that if someone put it in their home, they would be able to ward off any form of evil!”

“It was bought back then by someone from Japan who had spent a lot of money on it. Now here's where it gets interesting. Look, the Japanese man who bought it has a terminally ill mother who was ninety-eight years old, four years ago. Miraculously, it only took less than half a year for his mother to make a full recovery! Moreover, he is still alive and kicking now at the age of one hundred and two!”

“However, it is not the only magic artifact that has been displayed before. In the previous exchange event, one of the participants managed to purchase an ancient sword that was rumored to also be a magic artifact!”

“Basically, what I want to say is that some similar items have been on display for years. While many of them just looked like ordinary antiques or treasures, they were, their history of — which contributes to the magical properties of — artifacts is what makes many foreigners come to participate in the event every year. ”

Placing his wine glass, Gerald frowned slightly as soon as he finished explaining.

With how serious he sounds, Gerald knows that what he says cannot be a hoax.

While he didn't say much during Misty's explanation, he honestly thought that if there would be more magic artifacts during this treasure exchange event, it would be, then he wanted her to tell him as much information about them as possible.

Gerald himself believed in the power of magic artifacts. After all, since ancient times, almost all the great families relied on some form of mysterious power to suddenly rise above all their competitors. Even his grandfather had an ancient magic artifact in the form of a sun image with lines on it that were similar to blood vessels.

Speaking of his grandfather, he had told Gerald some time ago that Fenderson had once competed with Crawford for half a jade pendant many years ago. The pendant itself is a magical artifact owned by the Crawford and Fenderson families that symbolizes their fortune and the fate of their families.

Because it was so precious, his uncle—Peter— had attempted to sneak into the Fenderson family home to look for another piece of the jade pendant. However, in the end, all he managed to do was replenish the anger and feud between the two families.

“...It looks like you are too knowledgeable about magic artifacts.. I'm sure they didn't share all of this in public right?”
