The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 331
With Liara now taken prisoner, Gerald begins driving to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Upon arrival at the villa, Gerald called out to the bodyguards who had opened the gates for the limousine to enter. They were told to take Liara to an empty room and continue watching her.
“Wow, small driver! I don't expect you to have so much power over the guards here! They listened to all your orders!” dorothy said with a laugh.
"Trs. Crawford, you're here!”
Zack and Michael see Gerald enter the building and they rush to greet him. They also greeted Mr. Kendall with respect.
While Zack and Michael usually appear firmly in Mayberry City, in front of Jessica and Mr. Kendall, they even give the impression of just an ordinary henchman.
However, that was not what attracted the attention of the four new people. Mr. Kendall, Drake, Tyson, and Dorothy were all dumbfounded when they heard how the two spoke to Gerald.
"Trs. Crawford?”
"You're Mr Crawford?" Mr. Kendall asked, shocked.
“That's me, yeah. I want to introduce myself early but the situation is not possible, ” replied Gerald, a bitter smile on his face.
Mr. Kendall coughed. The revelation shocked him as well as shamefully.
After all, they had previously discussed all sorts of rumors about him long enough when he, literally, sat right next to them inside the limousine.
To think that this casually dressed and covered person was actually Mr. Crawford. It seemed that what the oldest young lady said was true.
"…I understand. So. You Mr. Crawford?” Dorothy said. Although he initially felt comfortable talking to Gerald because of how honest the driver was, he couldn't help but feel surprised by the revelation.
Gerald just nodded slowly, a wry smile on his face.
Gerald did not expect any reaction. What was done was done and the four were led to a dinner arranged by Michael. The five then slowly get to know each other better as they eat and drink.
"Trs. Crawford, the oldest young lady and her master have sent us here to make an important announcement. I believe that this matter has been discussed several times between you and the oldest young woman, ” explains Mr. Kendall respectfully.
“While the oldest young woman completed her assessment six years ago, your assessment will officially begin now. The family has decided to auction off Mayberry Commercial Street which originally belonged to you and the oldest young lady. Once the auction is complete, you will be given exclusive assets. With those assets, you need to create a completely new group to run in Mayberry City. You have to control and develop it yourself too!”
This is nothing new to Gerald. Instead, Jessica had previously told Gerald about this many times.
Previous discussions to create two projects on his behalf, namely Exceptional Live and Yorknorth Mountain, have been approved.
However, he did not anticipate that his family would auction off Mayberry Commercial Street.
“While I understand that the goal is to develop something yourself, Mayberry Commercial Street is already very profitable. Is there really a need to auction it?” gerald asked with a bitter smile.
Gerald has experienced a lot there and it has sentimental value to him now.
“Well, the profit gained is only used to judge you and the oldest young lady. The family would never be able to let such a small group last forever. However, Mr. Crawford, if you really like this place, you can buy it again in the future for your own entertainment and recreation!” Mr. Kendall couldn't understand the intent behind Gerald's question.
However, Gerald still found the answer from Mr. Kendall's statement. It is true that Mayberry Commercial Street is impressive, compared to other industries owned by the Crawford family around the world, the street is nothing special.
There was nothing he could do but let his family auction him off.
Besides, he was also not short of money anymore. Owning Mayberry Commercial Street is just for bragging rights now and she doesn't want a part of it!
“By the way, Mr. Crawford, a portion of the Crawford family's defense force in Mayberry City will also be under you in the future. Drake and Tyson himself will work as your personal bodyguard,” said Mr. Kendall.
After saying that, he looked towards Zack.
Zack immediately caught what Mr. Kendall hinted at, and carefully picked up a small machine with a red button on it. He handed it gently to Gerald.
Gerald's no stranger to that tool.
Back when Nigel nearly killed him, Zack had pressed a button to summon forty to fifty helicopters to rescue him.
“This tool serves as a Military Emergency communication tool. Now yours!”
The next step is that they sign some transfer documents and complete all formalities. By the time everything was over, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
To be honest, it was only today that Gerald realized how much influence and reach his family had on Mayberry City.
It was surprising, to say the least.
