Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2044-2045

Chapter 2044.

Since the map itself looked like scrap paper, had Gerald not witnessed the islands that disappeared before, he would not have believed that the map was actually more complex than it seemed.

At that moment, Master Ghost entered and asked,

"Something new on the map?"

"none. I don't even know when the Island of Longing will reappear. It seems that the sea map really has many unsolved mysteries. Had I known about this back then, I wouldn't have left the ancient ruins so soon. The old man might be able to help with this!"

Gerald replied while shaking his head while sighing.

Sure enough, had he known about all these mysteries back then, he would have definitely remained in the ancient ruins until he discovered all the mysteries of the sea map, no matter how long it took.

"Indeed. Do you think we should go back to the ancient ruins?" Ask Mr. Ghost.

"Forget it. So what if we manage to uncover the secrets of the sea map? All we could do was find Longing Island a little easier. In the end, we still have to find the Seadom tribe to get there."

Gerald replied while shaking his head.

Hearing how desperate Gerlad was, Master Ghost then patted him on the shoulder before saying,

"Don't worry too much. Just so you know, we're growing pretty fast. After all, not only do we have a sea map now, but we also know about the island where the Crawford family lives. Once we find the Seadom tribe, we can definitely save your parents."

Hearing that, Gerald then took a deep breath before smiling as he said,

"I know."

Shortly thereafter, Aiden returned with some food prepared by the Japanese military. Completely different from the common dishes in Weston, lunch seems to be very traditional Bibimbap and Kimbap, served along with a large bowl of Miso soup.

Apart from that, the three then surrounded the dining table for lunch. However, halfway through, they were suddenly greeted by the sound of a quick knock, followed by someone shouting, a,

"Is Aiden inside? Aiden Baker from Weston!"

Sipping his soup, Gerald said, saying,

"Something seems to be looking for you."

"Who is this?"

Aiden asked as he lowered his bowl and chopsticks before heading towards the door.

Upon opening it, he was greeted by the sight of several Asian special forces, all wearing combat uniforms. After judging Aiden, one of the men angrily growled,

"Are you Aiden? I use Adler Lightbody, and I am a special forces member of the Yanam military. From what I heard, you came to my military headquarters and made a big mess there with your friend, didn't you?"

Not wanting to bother with him, Aiden simply said,

"You're wrong to think I'm someone else."

Before Aiden could even close the door, Adler grabbed him, looking at Gerald and Master Ghost well.

"Who are they both? Is one of them Gerald?" Ask Adler.

"With all due respect, we are not in Yanam, good sir. If there's something you want to clarify, then find Carter! He's your acting leader right now, isn't he? Now stop trying to screw us up!"

Reply Aiden while frowning.

After all, Adler not only challenged him, but he also challenged Weston. At this point, the commotion had attracted the attention of several other special forces from abroad.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be enjoying the scene, even many advocating for Aiden to challenge Adler to a duel.

Chapter 2045.

"So, you even know the name of my acting military leader! I'm now more convinced than ever that you're the one who made the mess! Had I not gone out on a mission back then, I would have definitely prevented you from leaving all unwilling! After all, now that we have finally met, why don't you start explaining about the mysterious disappearance of my leader?!"

"What's? Leader Yanam is missing?"

A few spectators at that moment.

After that, almost everyone turned to look at Aiden. Making a national leader disappear 'mysteriously' is no easy feat, but if a member of Yanam's special forces says so, it must be true.

Moreover, if it was just a hoax, Adler would not have declared all of this in the presence of so many people!

Staring at Adler for a while, Aiden then replied,

"As I have said, there is no point in asking me this. Just go back and ask Carter if you are interested in the topic. Either way, now that you have managed to destroy my meal show, I beg you to leave. Otherwise, I'll assume you are challenging the Weston special forces.

"Good! Do as you please!"

Reply Adler while releasing his grip on their door.

Actually Adler wanted to get rid of Aiden, he knew better than to move in front of so many people. After all, offending Weston as a whole would definitely cause great trouble.

However, before he left, Adler made sure to lower his head as he whispered,

"I advise you to behave well in the next few days. If you act out of bounds, you might be taken away by someone.!"

"Just go!,"

Aiden answered while closing the door behind him.

He really couldn't be bothered by Adler's taunts. As soon as he returned to the dining table, Aiden continued eating as if nothing had ever happened.

Gerald himself had heard it all. With that in mind, once he finished his Kimbap, he smiled faintly before saying,

"It seems like this competition isn't as peaceful as we imagined."

"Don't worry, if he comes looking for trouble again, I'll get rid of him. We won't get in trouble either because we'll just practice martial arts."

Aiden replied as he clenched his fists.

Although he knew he could not match the cultivators, he was still confident enough in his ability to get rid of regular members of the special forces.

"negative. Remember, you represent Weston in this competition. If you move, it will just paint Weston with a bad name. Let me handle this trivial affair. You just need to focus on the competition."

Gerald replied as he waved his hand.

Gerald, for example, doesn't want Aiden to get into trouble. Moreover, if Gerald was really honest, Aiden only accompanied him to Yanam back then. Even when Aiden was there, he barely did anything.

"It's okay, brother Gerald! Just leave everything to me! I can handle this much!"

Aiden said as he patted his chest confidently.

"Listen, are you handing this business over to me, or Mr. Ghost and I are leaving now."

Gerald replied as he wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Before the flabbergasted Aiden could even answer, Gerald was already awake and entering his room.

Looking at the stunned Aiden, the Ghost Master simply smiled before saying,

"As Gerald said, you better leave this to him. Remember, you are a member of the special forces. If you fight them before the competition and get caught by the Japanese military, you will definitely be disqualified in no time."

After that conversation, the night soon came, and everyone had dinner before returning to their rooms to rest.

As soon as he was full, Gerald himself lay on his bed, a cigarette in hand as he carefully scanned the map.
