Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2101-2103

Chapters 2101.

At that moment, even though Endo and Izumi had prepared to die, it was, they couldn't hold their breath vigorously - as chilly sweat droplets drenched their foreheads - when they realized they were only inches away from death.

After all, after Takuya ran towards Gerald, he could only sigh in relief when he saw the two were still alive. After panting for a while, Takuya finally cleared his throat before saying,

"They can still be useful to us, Mr. Crawford... Let's keep them alive for now...".

Nodding in response, Gerald then closed his eyes for a bit, and soon after, his great killing intent quickly disappeared. Now that he had calmed down, Gerald was compelled to ask,

"Fair enough. But.. how do you know all this...?"

"With how hard you all are, how can I not know? Either way, once I find out what happened, I immediately rush to take a look!"

Takuya replied as he patted his chest while shaking his head, a bitter smile on his face.

"I'm sorry for that."

Gerald said in a embarrassed tone while scratching the back of his head.

"No problem... After all, since they had the guts to cause a commotion in my house, I swear by my life that I got information from them! We won't let you die that easily!"

Takuya growled while pointing towards the duo who were still lying on the ground.

"I've tried to interrogate them, but they're very difficult to solve."

Gerald replied while shaking his head.

"oh, don't worry. I have met stubborn people, so I know how to get them to talk. I can guarantee you that with my tactics, they will give us an honest answer before dawn!"

Takuya declares as he gestures to his men who previously followed him to bring Endo and Izumi up.

"Well, that's what I want to hear."

Gerald replied with a smile.

Nodding in response, Takuya could not help but frown when he saw all the blood on the ground. Shaking his head, he then turned to look at his men before ordering,

"Take them to the manor clinic and let them stay alive!"

With that, Endo and the zumi were immediately taken away. However, as Endo was still bleeding rather badly, his blood finally dripped all the way to the clinic.

Now that it was dealt with, Takuya turned to face Gerald before saying,

"...There's something I want to talk to you about."

"What a coincidence. I also have something to discuss,"

Gerald replied with a nod.

Realizing that Fujiko was still standing frozen in place, Gerald inevitably added,

"Miss Futaba? The danger is over."

"..Huh uh? O-oh! Yeah, it... Thanks..."

Fujiko muttered after releasing it.

However, when Gerald and his father left, he inevitably gave Gerald a curious look. However, after entering the main hall with Gerald and Fujiko, Takuya made sure to lock the door properly before brewing tea.

Afterwards, Takuya gave Gerald a cigarette and even lit it for him. After all, she knows that thanks to Gerald's efforts and vigilance today, she and Fujiko can live another day.

With that thought, Takuya finally bowed towards Gerald before saying,

"I really appreciate your help today, Mr. Crawford... With so many consecutive incidents happening, I really don't know how to thank you for every time you helped!"

"There's no need to be too friendly, patriarch... Honestly, I have a hunch that they both came for me today."

Gerald replied as he immediately helped Takuya stand up.

"...Coming again? Did you offend some of the big guys here?"

Takuya asked, in surprise.

"I can't say for sure either. My guess is that the men are from the Kanagawa family, or they are Hanyus. While my money is in Hanyus, I cannot rule out that there may be others who want me dead."

Gerald replied while smoking his cigarette.

Chapters 2102.

After hearing Gerald's reply, Takuya was momentarily at a loss for words. After all, he did not consider the fact that Gerald was the real target here.

As he pondered over it, Takuya could only mutter, saying,

"They came for you, you said.."

"That's just a guess, to be honest,"

Gerald replied while shaking his head. After all, since he rarely came to Japan, he barely had any disagreements with the troops and family here.

He just assumed that the duo was chasing after him because he was their first target after making themselves known.

"Well, even if they're after your head, there's no need to worry anymore because those two bastards are already locked up. Rest assured, I will definitely get more information from them before dawn! Also, don't worry about affecting my family because you're a target. The Futaba owes you and we will always be by your side! While it's true that my family isn't as big as it used to be, know that no one can freely take advantage of the person I swear to protect!"

Takuya said as he clenched his fists.

Hearing that, Gerald could only smile as he cupped his hands together— to salute Takuya-before saying,

"I really appreciate that, patriarch. For tonight's interrogation, I'll thank you in advance!"

It was then that Gerald realized that after helping Futaba a lot, she really gained the family's trust.

With that in mind, he felt that once the special forces competition began - or perhaps when it was over, depending on how things were - it was time he asked about the Island of Longing. Hopefully, Takuya no longer sees any reason to hide anything from her...

Whatever the case, after finishing her cup of tea, Takuya stood up before saying,

"All right, then... You and Fujiko should rest first. I'll go to visit our two 'guests."

Although Gerald remained there - for the next half-hour - to enjoy his tea, Fujiko, on the other hand, remained in the room to gaze at Gerald in awe, her hands cupping her cheeks the entire time...

Due to her growing feelings for Gerald, Fujiko could not help but say,

"I can feel how strong the two of them are. I didn't think you could beat them so easily..."

"Only the power I have. Besides, I'm not that strong,"

Gerald replied with a smile.

To be honest, he had not expected to expose that much power since Fujiko was there. However, if he did not do so, he would not be able to bring the two men out in such a short amount of time.

That, to Gerald, would be even more worrying since problems could easily occur in the manor if he did not take it out immediately.

After all, who said there were no other Kanagawa or Hanyu assassins waiting for an opportunity to attack the manor while Gerald was preoccupied with Endo and Izumi?

If that was the case, then things would be very difficult for Gerald to resolve. All of this explained why he used so much of his strength from the start.

After all, after hearing that, Fujiko could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly as she asked,

"...Really now?"

"Do I have a reason to lie? Besides, if you think I can get rich secretly, seeing my fine clothes is enough to debunk that."

Gerald replied with a foot and slowly swirled around, only to prove his point.

Fujiko, for example, knows the famous brand - because she is a rich young woman from a prestigious family - so she has to agree with that.

"..While it's true that you don't look like that, you can definitely live a much better life with how strong you are... To be honest, if you apply to become a personal bodyguard, you can earn more than a million dollars per year."

Fujiko muttered while cleaning the dust from her clothes.

"Life as a personal bodyguard is too restrictive for me. It's also a bit too dangerous for my taste. To be honest, the way I live now is pretty good."

Gerald replied with a smile.

"...I know."

Fujiko muttered while slightly blushing, thinking that Gerald hinted that he enjoyed spending his time with her.

Realizing that, Gerald - who did not want to speak any further for fear of creating more misunderstandings - then cleared his throat before saying,

"...By the way, it's already very late, so you should take a break. Hopefully, your father will get some valuable information from the two men tomorrow morning..."

Chapter 2103.

Still slightly blushing, Fujiko then nodded as she replied,

"Right, you went to bed early too."

Even though the night was dangerous, she couldn't help but feel happy after hearing what Gerald said. After all, she was then immediately ushered back to the entrance of her room before she finally parted ways with Gerald.

Gerald himself took off his coat and poured a glass of cold water as soon as he returned to his room. As soon as he sat down on the chair, he began to think of the two assassins.

Because his travels to Japan were so secretive, he doubted that they were sent by his old enemies.

However, both of them could call him by name. With that in mind, whoever sent them, they must have done their homework before executing the assassination plan... But who can..? Gerald thought inwardly while smoking his cigarette.

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald managed to find some individuals living in Japan who might have a long-standing grudge against him.

Even so, no matter how much he stretched it, they all seemed to have no guts to deal with it. Besides, it seems like they won't know that he's coming to Japan.

With that in mind, the assassins must have been sent by the people he had hurt on his last trip here.. From what he could gather, it included special forces soldiers from Yanam, Kanagawa, and Hanyus.

Although he put the soldiers from Yanam into the equation, they were the least likely of the group.

After all, none of them managed to find any evidence that he was the one responsible for Adler's disappearance. Moreover, he was quite certain that the Yanam Military had already been severely feared by him.

Gerald, for example, believed that Carter - who had acted so cowardly before him back then - would not dare to send assassins to pursue him, unless, of course, he did, the man did not want to be an official military leader anymore.

In any case, it sums up the list to Kanagawa and Hanyus.even though Gerald's thoughts were on Kanagawa.

Shaking his head, Gerald decided not to think about it for now. After all, he believed in Takuya's interrogation ability, so all he needed to do now was wait until morning to finally find out who sent the two assassins. With a unanimous determination, he then took a cold shower before hitting the hay.

When he wakes up at dawn, Gerald quickly prepares himself for the day before going to see how— Takuya interrogates.

However, upon opening the door, Gerald was surprised to see two Futaba guards standing guard right outside his room.

"What exactly does this mean...?"

Gerald asked while scratching his cheek.

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Crawford... Well, since the two men tried to kill you yesterday, the patriarch ordered us to guard your room.!"

Answer one of the men. From how tired the two of them were, it was clear that they had been standing there for a long time. With that in mind, Gerald simply waved his hand before saying,

"No need to take care of me. Now go and rest."

Although he did not say it, Gerald had a feeling that if he relied on these two to protect him, he could easily be killed more than ten times before they realized it.!

Either way, after hearing that, another man yawned and he replied,

"Unfortunately, we can't just break the patriarch's orders!"

Understanding that they could have gotten a good night's rest had it not been for Takuya's orders, Gerald simply shook his head as he said,

"Look, just go. If the patriarch is angry that you left, just tell him that I am the one who told you to go."

Since Gerald believed that the two would not be able to protect him, the fact that they were wasting all their energy here made him feel a little uneasy for them.

After all, after hearing that, the two immediately bowed while declaring,

"Thank you, Mr Crawford!"

After that, they quickly went to their bedroom.
