Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1107

Gerald thought through the two sentences carefully. 'Born back in heaven next to the red spider lilies...' And then there are some dragons that will appear near the cross of blood...

…wait. Blood junction? Crawford?!

Gerald was completely astonished at this moment. To be honest he actively refused to believe that one truly had the ability to break through all boundaries and master the back and forth actions between ancient and modern times. However, no matter how much he wanted to continue denying that possibility, all he found was merely hinting that all of this was real.

“You know, my ancestors concluded that the person in the painting—once he was reborn—will most likely bear the family name Crawford, I was wondering about your surname.. If it really is Crawford., then you must be the one we've been waiting for, sir! ” said Wagner while staring at Gerald.

Slightly frowning, Gerald then nodded before replying, “...My full name is Gerald Crawford!”

“...L-then..For God's sake, you are truly the person we've been waiting for! What the old beggar claimed turned out to be true!” wagner replied excitedly.

Gerald, however, only felt his stress increase by the second.

If Gerald had to give a visualization of what he was feeling right now, he felt like there was an invisible pair of big hands controlling everything. Just like a pawn on a chessboard, anyone unfortunate enough to be lifted by the hand must go according to the person's wishes. Just thinking about it was enough to cause the stress and fear that almost suffocated him.

Who exactly is this guy…?

Sensing the tremors on his back, Gerald quickly put those thoughts aside.

Wagner, on the other hand, revealed another secret room — although it was more of a secret compartment — before taking out a simple wooden box, but it looked quite ancient.

Coughing slightly, Wagner then said, “This is the box that the old beggar asked us to give you. I'll step aside for a moment so you can see the contents in private. ”

“It's not necessary. There was nothing to be ashamed of. After all, no one in this world could possibly keep any secrets from him! Ha ha!" gerald replied with a bitter laugh.

After opening it, a strange scent was immediately released. As the scent continued to spread throughout the room, Gerald looked at the one-inch-tall golden talisman and looked hard inside the box that somewhat resembled a goldfish tail. Beside him, lay a sort of pellet-shaped black pill.

“Apleasant aroma!” wagner was surprised.

Clearly deep in thought, Gerald held the pellet close to his nose and sniffed it, though he said nothing more.

“It has long been inedible. It is an oxyblood pellet, and is usually consumed to help a person quickly recover their strength and stamina. If one took one when they were in great danger, their chances of finding a way out of their predicament greatly increased. ”

Gerald was able to recognize the pellets very quickly ever since he recalled the strange memories the jade pendant had given him.

"My word! How knowledgeable you are, sir! ” praise Wagner.

“...However, the condition of the materials needed to purify such pellets is very harsh. By the way, when I first entered your house, I was able to catch the scent of medicine. In fact, it's everywhere. What business does the Yarne family run right now?” ask Gerald.

“Yeah, my family is in the drug business. We have many sea medicinal products!” answer Wagner.

"I understand. I'd like to know if you have a herb called wiqerice.. It's the main ingredient needed to smooth this kind of oxyblood pellet.”.

“Wiqerice…? Unfortunately, I have never even heard of it!” wagner replied with a slightly bitter smile.

“So... It seems like I won't be able to get it from you then,” Gerald said as he shook his head calmly.

Since the mysterious man had given him an oxyblood pellet, Gerald was quite sure that the man was well aware that such pellets usually only had a shell life of about a month… Did the person intend for Gerald to purify the pellet himself to use to save himself when it was necessary...?

“Yes, not necessarily.. Remember, I'm just the boss so I myself am not very good with medicinal herbs.. After all, there may be a way for you to get the potion.”.

After hesitating for a moment, Wagner looked at Gerald before adding, "I wonder if you've heard of such a prestigious herb auction before ..."

"Are you referring to the underground auction of the Enchanted Feast?" asked Gerald in a rather gentle tone.

"That's fine. Auction was considered one of the main functions during the Enchanted Feast! One can expect to find many valuable medicinal plants there that have been provided by medicinal plant growers and medicinal plant collectors who have collected their medicinal plants from the mountains. Many of the herbs there were over a hundred years old, and they would not be distributed to the market. The participants consisted of wealthy people and entrepreneurs— related to his field—who were invited to the auction to bid on herbal medicine. Understanding its value, many of them choose to pay for herbs on the spot,” explains Wagner.

The way he described it, it was quite clear that such an auction belonged to a private organization, meaning it was not a public event.
