Watching as Walter smiled, Third elder couldn’t help but ask, “Does virtual-novel.net satisfy you, patriarch?”
“Quite, though I can’t say for sure yet since I still don’t know whathis personality is like. We don’t know much about his family or guardians either. Regardless, if there aren’t any problems in those areas, then I’m not against virtual-novel.net becoming my son-in-law,” replied Walter with a nod.
Walter, for one, knew that if Gerald was capable of possessing the Herculean Primordial Spirit at his current age, virtual-novel.net would definitely be a big shot in the cultivation realm in another ten to twenty years. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net wasn’t about to miss his chance to obtain such an outstanding son-in-law.
“Who are you calling son-in-law, father? That sounds so awkward!” exclaimed Mia who had been quietly following them this entire time before grabbing onto virtual-novel.net father’s arm.
“Well… Isn’t virtual-novel.net the best possible choice for you? If virtual-novel.net can pass my test, then your reputation will surely be preserved,” replied Walter in a doting tone as virtual-novel.net patted his shy daughter’s head.
“But…! You can’t just decide something like this… !” mumbled Mia who was now as red as a tomato.
“This girl… Regardless, Third elder. Arrange a meeting for me with that kid. Make sure not to tell virtual-novel.net who we truly are or we may scare virtual-novel.net away!” ordered Walter.
“Very well,” replied Third elder with a nod.
Watching as Gerald disappeared into the crowd, Walter then hastened his footsteps as virtual-novel.net muttered, “Return early this afternoon… I want to get a better look at that kid…!”
Fast forward to later that noon, everyone after having a simple lunch returned to their room to rest. Though Yaacob followed them back, virtual-novel.net simply sat silently on the sofa.
Gerald, on the other hand, sat opposite of him, frowning as virtual-novel.net thought about the odd person virtual-novel.net had seen this morning. By this point, Gerald was pretty sure that virtual-novel.net had never met the man before. So why did virtual-novel.net feel that that person’s back felt so familiar…?
Seeing how serious Gerald looked, Lucian was prompted to ask, “Thinking about something?”
Upon hearing that, Yaacob instantly turned vigilant. After all, his mission was to get to know Gerald as much as possible.
“Nothing much. I was just wondering what kind of items and outrageous prices would pop up in the next two and a half days. After all, the items this morning already got to such immense prices,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net put his earlier thoughts aside.
“They won’t be things we can afford, that’s for sure…” muttered Lucian with a sigh. Lucian had saved two million dollars for Gerald, but if the boy found something virtual-novel.net liked in the coming days, virtual-novel.net seriously doubted that two million would be enough for the item.
Before Gerald could reply, Yaacob suddenly said, “Hold on, who told you that the auction would only last for three days?”
“Huh? Throughout the many years I’ve attended, the auction has always lasted for only three days…” muttered the puzzled Lucian.
“That’s only for the regular people. The auction actually lasts for five days. The real good stuff starts appearing on fourth day. By that point, only the richest of the rich are allowed to remain, so it explains why you’ve always assumed that the auction ends on the third day,” explained Yaacob as virtual-novel.net shook his head.
“W-what…? How… do you even know about all this…?” asked Lucian who knew that Yaacob had no reason to lie to them. Still, how had virtual-novel.net come across the information?
“That… I, uh… Just found out about it by chance!” replied Yaacob after freezing for a moment, an awkward smile on his face.
