Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2056-2058

Chapter 2056.

"By the way.You said the person who attacked you was your family's enemy?"

Gerald asked, refusing to turn around in case he was not fully dressed.

"Indeed. His family has consistently been hostile to my family. I don't even know how he found out I live here, but he did and he immediately tried to kill me."

Fujiko answered while shaking her head.

His family clearly did not expect the attack because they had not warned him in advance. Whatever the case, after realizing that Gerald was still facing forward, he could not help but laugh before saying,

"I'm dressed now, so you can turn around."

Hearing that, Gerald heaved a sigh of relief as he finally turned to face her again.

"So, you came here to sort out some business, you said.I'm sorry for my assumptions, but based on what I've seen before, you seem to be much stronger than the man who tried to kill me. With that in mind, can you represent Weston for the competition?"

Fujiko asked as she looked at Gerald with dreamy eyes.

Although the way they meet is somewhat cliche - with a heroic man like Gerald saving her just in time, - Fujiko can't help but admire her every second.

Waving her hand in response, Gerald then smiled before replying,

"Unfortunately, that's not the case. My friend is a participating person, and I just accompany him here."

"I saw! Anyway, I think I should mention that by helping me, you have offended the Hanyu family. They're the assassin organization here, and I'm afraid they won't let you off that easily."

Fujiko murmured, her worry clearly reflected in her eyes.

After all, even though he knew that Gerald was strong, no power could defeat the entire family of world-renowned assassins that had a history of hundreds of years. Even the Japanese military did not dare to mess with them.

After hearing that, Gerald raised a slight eyebrow as he replied,

"Oh? Hanyus, you said.!"

"Indeed. Have you heard of them before?" Ask Fujiko.

"Well, they're pretty famous so it shouldn't come as a surprise if I had,"

Gerald replied with a smile as he began to reach for a cigarette.

However, as she considers Fujiko's presence, Gerald soon refrains from smoking. Whatever the case, after thinking for a moment, Fujiko finally said,

"Well, since you're in all this trouble because of me, why don't you stay with my family for now? I will explain what happened today to my father, and from there, we will have a good discussion to ensure your safety. Although Futabas may not be as powerful as Hanyus, we are still quite influential in Japan. With that in mind, I have a feeling that Hanyus will not attack all of you inevitably once they realize that you are under our protection."

"I don't mind going with that,"

Gerald replied with a subtle smile.

To be honest, he was not at all afraid of Hanyus. After all, even if all the elites of the family were to chase after him at once, he was pretty sure that he would not even suffer a scratch. However, this is his main opportunity to get to know Fujiko better.

Better yet, if his family was really part of the Seadom – tribe and he managed to get close to them -, he would definitely get a greater chance to inquire about the secrets of Longing Island. With all that in mind, there was no way he would reject the idea.

"Then it's done! Go ahead and tell your friend that you will be back with me for now. The Hanyu usually act fast and I'm afraid they'll send people before we make it out of this place."

Fujiko said as she stretched her body, revealing a bit of her figure endowed with simple clothes. That sight alone was enough to make Gerald turn away.

Seeing Gerald not getting off the couch, Fujiko nudged his shoulder before adding,

"Hello? We burn daylight here. Hanyus can cause problems for us at any time, you know?

Chapter 2057.

"understand. I'll go tell my friend first, then! Give me ten minutes! I'll regroup with you in the hotel lobby by then!

Gerald replied as he stood up and left the room.

Before long, he returned to his room and told Master Ghost and Aiden everything that had happened. Once they got the latest information about the situation, she then put on her coat before heading to the lobby where Fujiko was waiting for her.

After regrouping, the two get into her car, and under Fujiko's guidance, she quickly starts driving towards her home.

Fast forward to a few minutes later, a small group of men in black can be seen rushing towards the back of the hotel where Gerald first rescued Fujiko.

If anyone was close enough and observant, they could definitely smell the familiar smell of blood all over their bodies.

Looking at all the scattered construction trash, the leader of the group was encouraged to ask, saying,

"Is this the place, Third?"

"Yes, this. Just as I was about to severely injure Fujiko, someone suddenly appeared and blocked my path! He is so strong that I have no choice but to retreat!"

Answer the person who attacked Fujiko.

"I saw. Find out where he currently lives, and once you do, end him!"

The leader orders in a low voice.

Since Hanyus rarely had any problems with the other party when they were on their mission, Gerald's sudden involvement was truly infuriating.

After all, if they were to succeed in their mission given by their clan head to capture Fujiko, they could definitely use it to threaten the Futabas.

Unfortunately, someone interfered in the last moment! Now all their plans are ruined! As if that wasn't enough, the enemy was now also aware of it! From now on, finding Fujiko again will definitely be more difficult.

Asked the leader after thinking about it for a while, wondering if Gerald was someone Hanyu had previously hurt.

"I don't know much about him, even though I know he's not Japanese. From what I can guess, he's probably from Weston."

Answer the Fujiko attacker.

"Someone from Weston you said. Well, Weston or not, he's meddling with the wrong family! Therefore, he would die at our hands if it was the last thing we did!"

Said the leader of the group while clenching his fists with determination.

Moving back to Gerald and Fujiko, about three hours later they finally arrived in the town where the family lived. Although Gerald did not directly inquire about his family, he knew that he was somewhat secretive about them.

After all, whenever a conversation led to his family, he would only provide the most basic information. Because she was so secretive about sharing more about her family, Gerald decided to stop questioning her about them after some time. After all, the last thing he needed was for him to be more and more vigilant with her

After all, it was about half an hour later when Gerald's car stopped in front of a manor. Before they could even leave the car, a young man in uniform was already walking towards them.

Seeing her, Fujiko then got off the car first. Pointing at Gerald, he then said,

"Calm down, he's my friend. I have brought him back here to discuss some important matters with father.

Chapter 2058.

Seeming clearly in a dilemma, the young man then walked up to him before whispering,

"You, of all people, must know very well that the master is always against the idea of foreigners coming, miss..."

Although the man whispered, Gerald could hear every word he said. With that in mind, he quickly found himself smiling.

After all, based on what the man said, the chances of Futabas being part of the Seadom tribe grew exponentially. Whatever the case may be, Fujiko then frowned slightly as she looked out,

"Originally know, I was attacked by one of the Hanyu before! Had this man not intervened to save me earlier, I would have been dead by now!"

Upon hearing that, the young man's eyes instantly widened. However, he quickly flinched before turning to look at Gerald and respectfully said,

"I understand! Please come in, sir!"

Stepping out of the car, Gerald said,

"It looks like you're quite highly ranked in your family."

Smiling a little awkwardly, Fujiko then replied,

"Well, my dad's the master of the family, you know."

To be honest, it was precisely because of that that he kept getting into dangerous situations, even on the most normal days.

Before Gerald could reply, the young man from before - who had noticed that Gerald was holding a bag - stretched out his hand before saying,

"Please let me bring your things!"

Waving his hand in response, Gerald replied,

"It's okay."

Afterwards, Gerald then follows Fujiko into the manor. Since he had contacted his father earlier, the two were immediately granted access to the reception room at the end of the manor.

Shortly after, a fat middle-aged man came rushing towards them. As soon as she saw Fujiko, she immediately grabbed him with her arm - completely ignoring Gerald,– and started scanning him from head to toe while exclaiming, Gerald said,

"Yuji! I heard from the guards at the door that you faced danger before! What the hell's going on? Tell me, hurry."

Understanding that her father was only worried about her safety, Fujiko only smiled as she replied, saying,

"I'm fine, dad. I wasn't hurt at all!"

"That's a relief to hear..! I was so worried as soon as I heard that Hanyus attacked you! Still, how do they know where you are? After all, didn't you participate in the special forces competition? Why is the military keeping this from me?!"

Asked the middle-aged man while sighing in relief.

"I'm also not sure how they found me, but to be clear, I didn't report this incident to the military. Call it a hunch, but I have a hunch that Hanyu is hiding in the military. That would explain how Hanyus found me."

Fujiko replied with a slight frown.

"I understand. Whatever the case may be, stay home for now and leave the rest to me. I will send some of our people to investigate more about this! You might not like what I'm about to say, but I also contacted the military to cancel your entry in the competition!"

The middle-aged man said, his eyes still filled with worry.

"alright. Anyway, this is Gerald Crawford from Weston, dad, and he's the one who saved me!"

Fujiko said as she hugged her father's arm and pulled him closer to Gerald.

"Gerald.. Crawford...? A familiar name. Could it be. You were responsible for all the chaos in Yanam a while ago?"

Asked the middle-aged man while looking at Gerald up close.

He, for example, must be influential enough to know things like this. In addition, because of Gerald's actions that had a big impact, it would definitely be difficult to forget his name after hearing it.

Realizing that the man recognized who he was, Gerald found no reason to lie and simply replied,

"Yes, it's me..."
