Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1461
Upon hearing that, Federico paused for a moment before sneering, “…I understand, Master! I know what I have to
do after this!”
He already had a plan in mind.
Regardless, since Gerald had placed such a high bid, nobody else was willing to even compete with him. Even
Federico’s fans were now staring at Gerald in surprise. After all, none of them had expected that this plain-looking
person would actually own this much money!
Now that they had witnessed how rich he was, some of them were already winking at him, desperately trying to
gain his affection.
Of course, when had such tactics ever worked on Gerald?

spend so much on the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk since he wanted to ask the organizer of the auction where and how
he had gotten his hands on the whisk.
With that, he requested to see the manager once the event was over. Upon hearing that, the service staff
immediately ran off to invite the manager out, and soon after, a fat middle-aged man who went by the name of
Waferer walked out.
“I appreciate your support, Mr. Crawford! You’ve officially become the biggest benefactor in our auction! Please,
have my business card!” said Manager Wafarer respectfully.
Not wanting to beat around the bush, Gerald skipped the pleasantries and simply replied, “Manager Wafarer,
there’s something I’d like to ask you about… Where exactly did you find the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk? And how did
you get your hands on it?”
“Well, first off, you should know very well that we aren’t allowed to disclose such information without first getting
the original owner’s permission! However, since you did pay such a premium price for this item, I suppose I could
tell you a thing or two…” replied the manager with a smile.
Just as he was about to speak, however, a young man suddenly walked toward Manager Waferer. After glancing
briefly at Terrance and the others, he then whispered something into the manager’s ears.
Looking momentarily stunned, Manager Waferer then nodded before saying, “…I understand!”
Watching as the young man left, Terrance then looked at Manager Waferer again before asking, “So, what was it
that you were about to tell us?”
“…Ah, yes. About that… You shouldn’t be in a hurry, correct? You see, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Sherwin, a friend of
mine has taken a fancy to the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk as well. With that said, he’s already booked an entire
restaurant… I suggest that I act as a middleman so that both of you can meet and discuss this matter. Who knows,
both of you could strike up a good deal!” replied Manager Waferer whose tone was now different from before.

Hearing that, Gerald easily understood that the one who was responsible for this was either Federico or that black-
robed man. From how things were proceeding, it was probably not going to be that easy for Gerald to just take the
Heavenly Horsetail Whisk away with him today…
Whatever the case was, it was now obvious that to Manager Wayfarer, Federico was much more important
compared to Gerald.
“What should we do now, Master Crawford…?” whispered Terrance.
“Since we’re being invited over, it’d be rude for us to decline without a proper reason, no? With that said, let’s go
meet up with Manager Waferer’s friend. Perhaps we’ll even be able to double the price of this item once we resell
it!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
Though Terrance couldn’t understand what Gerald was trying to do, Gerald had already spoken his mind, so there
was nothing more that the old man could say.
As Terrance followed Gerald out, he failed to notice the brief, mocking smile on Manager Waferer’s face…
It was a little while later when the group arrived at the most luxurious room—that was located on the top floor—in
Jenna Parlor. True to the manager’s words, the entire restaurant had been completely emptied…
