Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2049-2050

Chapter 2049.

"So. Did any of you find anything?"

Ask the person in charge as he looks at them.

"Unfortunately, even after all our investigative efforts, Adler seems to have simply disappeared! We haven't even found a single clue yet! "

Answer the leader of the small team.

"Not one?!"

Komura replied as she slammed her fist against the table in frustration.

"Zero. Anyhow, do you think Adler could have gone back to Yanam last night?"

Ask the other special forces soldiers.

"negative. Even if he received an urgent mission and had to return to Yanam, Yanam headquarters would definitely tell us about it first. He left without a word was very unlikely, especially since he was someone who worked with the military. After all, even if he went back to Yanam, why did he leave all his luggage behind?"

Answer Mr. Komura.

"Then. Could it be that those people from Weston really killed him.? After all, I remember Adler saying something like three big families in Yanam that were destroyed recently.. He also said something about some of Yanam's men - in the military - losing their lives! However, his biggest claim yesterday was that the Westons caused the mysterious disappearance of Godwin Lindod - his leader -!"

Clearly the leader of that small group.

"Although I had heard about the incident some time ago, we have no evidence that the Westons killed anyone. Even if they are related to the actual person who did the deed, we cannot simply blame them without having solid evidence! Regardless, keep investigating the case! If we still can't find any leads on Adler, I'll have to report this to headquarters, and you all know that punishment is coming next!"

Komura growled while slamming his fist into the table again.

To be honest, Komura only volunteered to lead this competition so that he could get a promotion. If everything went well, his military rank would definitely be promoted right after the new year.

Now that such an incident had occurred, Komura felt that demotion was waiting for him.

"Loud and clear, Mr. Komura!"

Said the team member while nodding.

"good. Hurry, then! Even if the headquarters doesn't bother you, I will if you still fail to find a clue! For Christ's sake... Thinking that a special forces soldier suddenly disappeared during the competition. That's too embarrassing! I can only pray that the word about this doesn't come out!"

Grunt Komura while sighing.

After exchanging glances with each other, the other man then left the room without a word.

In the next two days, Gerald and the group mostly remained indoors and just went to eat.

Although Komura has come to interrogate them four times at this point, Aiden has always claimed that he knows nothing about the case. With that, all Komura could do was leave, sad.

It was on the third day when all participants were informed by the Japanese Military that the venue of the competition would be changed.

In addition, the participants were also asked to find their own residence, with accommodation costs borne by the Japanese Military.

The sudden announcement came from the fact that Komura had reported the case to the Japanese Military. After all, he had not managed to find a single clue about Adler's whereabouts even after such a long time.

Since there was nothing to be done about the disappearance, the Japanese Military could only separate the participants to prevent a repeat of similar incidents.

Chapter 2050.

However, if Adler is really killed by the people of Westonor other special forces soldiers of other powerful nations, in this caseor, The Japanese military knew that they would be in hot water.

While having the soldiers search for their own accommodations would make things a little messier, at the very least, the Japanese military would have to take less responsibility if a similar case were to occur.

Gerald himself could guess why the Japanese military did this. With that, after hearing the news, he simply smiled before saying,

"I think the Japanese military is getting more worried."

Answer Master Ghost.

"After all, let's focus on finding a new place for us to live in first. I doubt safety will be a problem because apart from Yanam, no one else here will pick a bone with us. Still, finding the Seadom tribe proved to be quite difficult. I wonder if they've integrated themselves into Japanese society."

Gerald murmured as he felt a slight headache.

Thinking that they should find a member of the Seadom tribe that could be anywhere in the country. Of course it does not help that there is a high chance that they hide their identity well.

While the task was just as difficult as searching for Longing Island, it was fortunately not too dangerous.

Whatever the case, after leaving the Japanese training ground, Gerald and the troupe finally decided to return to their original hotel.

Since the competition was still half a month away, they had thought that as long as they requested a new venue of the competition two days before it was held, they would definitely arrive on time.

When they checked into the hotel, Gerald couldn't help but notice that Master Ghost was staring at a woman - who was wearing clothes indicating that she was part of the Japanese special forces - who was also checking in.

As men, most countries also have women in their special forces. After all, some missions can be carried out more easily by women than men.

Regardless, with how intensely Master Ghost looked at him, Gerald could not help but laugh before asking, either,

"What's? Are you in love with her?"

"It's as if I'm going to fall in love with a woman like that! Either way, I'm just interested in the necklace."

Master Ghost replied as he shook his head, his eyes never leaving the woman.

Slightly frowning in response, Gerald then said,

"And... Why are you so interested in that? Did you hit your head hard this morning or something?"

"Look, it's not an ordinary necklace! If my premonition is correct, it looks like it's a Seadom tribe locket. After all, one of the tribe-specific totems is there, or at least I think so. I still don't know the tribe very well so I could be wrong."

Mumbled Master Ghost.

Although Master Ghost had been speaking softly this entire time, Gerald found the revelation extremely loud.

"A locket from the tribe of Seadom, you say!?"

Gerald replied as he narrowed his eyes at the woman.

Sure enough, he had a pendant around his neck, even though he was a bit too far away for him to see it well.

"Once again, I could be wrong. Remember that."

Master Ghost said when he saw how excited Gerald was. He was only worried that Gerald would be disappointed again if he ended up making a mistake.

Taking a deep breath, Gerald – whose hand is now slightly shaking – then replied,

"It's not easy to find a totem that looks like it. With that in mind, we can be on the right track."

"Well, what are you planning? Are you just gonna ask him about it?"

Ask Master Ghost with his low voice.

"I'm not too sure yet. Let's watch him for a minute."

Gerald replied as he shook his head, wondering how he should deal with the members of the Seadom tribe without making him afraid or disgusted.

A bad first impression would definitely hinder their efforts to learn the secrets of Longing Island.

"agreed. Then, I'll take Aiden upstairs first."

Master Ghost said as he took their room card from the receptionist and dragged Aiden towards the elevator.
