Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2086-2090

Chapter 2086.

It seemed that now, not only did they not get any benefits, but they might also be dragged into it.

Everyone thought of a way to cut ties with the family so that they would not be affected when the family fell or got involved back then.

"Huh, this is the current situation of the Futaba family. If someone who doesn't know us well comes along, he'll even think that we're a third-rate family."

After they all left, Takuya slammed his fist against the table and exclaimed furiously.

He knew that the people in the family would definitely oppose him after the news spread, but he did not expect them to be so brave and face him head-on. This makes it very uncomfortable.

"Don't be upset about that, Patriarch. From the moment they were cold towards the family when it happened down the hill and to the left back then, they were no longer part of the Futaba family. We don't have to be angry because of people like them,"

One of the family members rushed over to Takuya and massaged his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Fujiko. This time, I won't let a bad guy like Kanagawa Kai take you any way!"

Takuya held his daughter's hand and convinced her in a firm tone.

This is a promise made by a father to his daughter.

"I know!"

Futaba Fujiko wiped her tears. She knows how depressed her father is by not allowing Kai to marry her, and she may even face major problems due to this.

"You can all leave now. Gerald, stay here. I have something to tell you."

Takuya let go of his daughter's hand. Gerald nodded and remained in the same place.

The family member who left the latter closed the door before exiting.

"Gerald, now that it's just the two of us here, I'm going to ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly,"

Takuya said after staring at Gerald for a long time.

"You can ask me anything, Patriarch Futaba."

Gerald nodded.

“I've always been curious about your identity. Fujiko says you have strong abilities, but you're not from the special forces participating in that big competition. So, can you tell me who you are?"

Takuya rubbed his hands.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about my identity. I'm just a regular citizen of Weston, and I'm just here in Japan to accompany a friend who's participating in a war competition for special forces."

Gerald shook his head, chuckling.

"alright. Well then, you and Fujiko are just pretending to be a couple, right?"

Takuya was mentally prepared for it.

He understood that someone as strong as Gerald would not be an ordinary human for sure and certainly had a special identity. it could not be revealed to just anyone for fear that he would be killed once he revealed himself.

Gerald nodded without any objection.

“To be honest, I as Fujiko's father really hope that you two can be together as a true couple. Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I know how responsible you are as a man. Plus, you'll be able to protect her with your abilities,"

Takuya sighed and said slowly.

"Patriark Futaba, Miss Fujiko and I are just acting. I still can't bear to think of things like romance and relationships for now."

Gerald immediately waved and refused, afraid that his acting would grow into something real, and he would not be able to get out of it.

"I know, I know. It was just my wish."

Takuya also waved at him.

"I'll protect Miss Fujiko until everything is in order. Don't worry about it, Patriarch Futaba."

Gerald smiled while smoking.

Chapter 2087.

"Thank you for helping us at the moment, but we, the Futaba Family, can't offer anything. You might even face problems and dangers because of us."

Takuya's eyes turned red, and his hands also trembled uncontrollably.

All along, she had been most worried about the danger her daughter was in, but Gerald's words were like a tranquilizing pill to her. He also believes that it will not be difficult for Gerald to protect his daughter based on his abilities.

Funagawa or the hit man from the Hanyu Family would not be able to do anything to her.

"I'm not afraid of it" said Gerald casually.

"Yes, but I still have to thank you properly."

Takuya nodded. He himself did not even know how lucky he was to have met such a good young man when their family faced a crisis.

Although it couldn't be considered much help, at least he could protect princess Takuya.

"You can tell me anything if you need me, I'll definitely help if I can."

Gerald lit another cigarette.

"No problem. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Takuya nodded even harder.

After chatting for a while, Gerald left the living room, planning to go back and ask Master Ghost and Aiden about the situation today so that he could go one step ahead and eliminate the special forces from Yanam.

If they were to be revealed, they would have to settle the matter immediately, otherwise, Aiden would be affected, and even Weston.

Walking out of the living room, Gerald headed to his guest room and walked through the bamboo forest, reaching the garden behind the manor. The night was approaching, and it was getting dark.

Gerald's brows immediately wrinkled upon his arrival. His intuition told him that someone was waiting for him here.

"Get out now,"

Stopping his steps, Gerald said casually.

"It looks like you're something else, don't you?"

Just as Gerald had finished his sentence, two shadows appeared from behind the bushes. They are none other than Futaba Masaru and Futaba Suke whom Gerald saw during the meeting.

"Do you need anything from me?"

Scanning them with his eyes, Gerald asked in a slightly impatient tone. It's a waste of time talking to people like them. Even sleep would be a better option.

"of course. I warned you to leave this place as soon as possible. Don't involve yourself with our family matters. Don't think that Takuya will be able to protect you just because he is a patriarch. The Futaba family is now not what it used to be anymore, and she has absolutely no real power as a true patriarch."

"Even Fujiko can be ambushed by someone from Hanyus, so you should be able to reflect on this yourself"

Suke took a step in front of Masaru and pointed her finger at Gerald's nose as she spoke.

"How did you know that Fujiko was attacked by a murderer from the Hanyu family?"

Gerald suddenly frowned, finding some sensitive words between what Suke said.

Takuya has claimed before that their family ensures perfect protection around Fujiko, so only a handful of people know that Fujiko belongs to the Japanese, the Queen Warrior.

Suke was definitely not one of them, plus, it had been a long time since she returned to the family, so she would not know about this.

On the other hand, the Hanyu family would definitely not spread the word about their desire to kill the daughter of the Futaba family.

Chapter 2088.

Analyzing these two points, it was strange that Suke knew about Fujiko being ambushed by the Hanyu Family Killer. There might even be something more to it than that.

"What does this have to do with you?!"

Realizing that he has said something wrong, Suke's face flushes red, but she quickly regains her composure and shouts at Gerald while pointing at the latter,

"I warn you again, everything that happens here has nothing to do with you at all! Get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even be able to die quietly.!"

"Are you threatening me?"

Gerald smiled slightly and asked.

"Of course it's not a threat! This is just the last exception given to you."

Gerald's nonchalant attitude triggers Suke even further, and he would definitely be up against this guy from Weston if not for them being in the manor.

"All right, I get it. Now, if there's nothing else, you two should leave instead of waiting for Patriarch Takuya to see you and drive you both out."

Gerald left them with a few sarcastic words as he walked past them slowly with his hands put in his pockets.

"That junk!"

Seeing Gerald leave, Suke clenched her fists tightly and was about to run towards him.

"Don't sebtono. You should come back with me first because we're still family members. If this were to spread, it would be of no use to us!"

Futaba Masaru instantly pulled him back and coaxed him in a low and hoarse voice.

"Grandfather Masaru, this guy, Gerald, is too annoying!"

Suke did not dare to go against Masaru's words and could only stop, but she still held her anger deep inside her chest.

"I want to ask you too. What happened to Fujiko? How do you know he was ambushed by a murderer from the Hanyu family?"

Masaru grabbed Suke and headed outside the manor as he questioned her.

"I told you, Fujiko is still part of our family, and the Hanyu family is our family's lifelong rival. If you have a relationship with them, you're one step to hell!"

"Grandfather Masaru, you think too much about it. You watched me grow up, and you should know that. I'm not that kind of person! I just heard this from some friends by chance!"

Suke broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained.

"That's the best. Don't let me find any connection between you and the Hanyu family. Remember, we only have internal conflicts in the family, so don't get involved with our lifelong rivals. I'll make sure to finish you off on my own if I know something's going on between you and them."

Masaru gave a cold snort and left Suke behind as he walked slowly.

"I'm helping you, Grandpa Masaru!"

Seeing that, Suke ran over to chase him.

Back in the room. Gerald did not at all let their threats bother him or interfere with his thoughts, as he already knew that trouble would come if he protected Fujiko. However, Suke's words caught Gerald's attention.

As someone who doesn't live in the family home, he knows about Fujiko's attempted murder. It just sounds too weird. Gerald could not help but doubt the relationship between him and the Hanyu family. Suke may even have played a part in the assassination attempt.

"It looks like we should investigate Futaba Suke,"

Gerald smoked and muttered to himself, tapping his finger on the table.

However, this is all just a discourse. Gerald had no plans to do anything because Suke had not posed any threat. Moreover, he had no time to care about such people. He would definitely look at it carefully after all the dangers were eliminated.

After all, the only one in this world who dared to threaten him had been buried deep within the earth. Next day.
