The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2096

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2096 Had he not done so, he could’ve simply focused on investigating the person who had intercepted Saburo’s attack! Oh, how he yearned to not have this extra weight on his back..! Truth be told, Suijin who probably knew how difficult the case was was already being quite understanding for giving him half a month to investigate…

If only he hadn’t taken up Kai’s mission, then he would’ve had much more time to investigate, thus lowering his chances of getting punished! Whatever the case was, getting rid of Gerald was now as important as finding Saburo’s assailant…

Either way, Endo who was quite confident with his strength then nodded before saying, “Worry not! Since both of us are in this together, the mission will surely be a success! If luck is on our side, we may even be able to bring you good news by tomorrow morning!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Endo, for one, was so strong that he could easily take on ten Japanese Special Forces members at a time, and Ryugu knew that. With that in mind, Ryugu sighed ash e replied, “Let’s just hope that that’s the case…”

Following that, he gestured for them to leave. All he wanted to do now was to get some rest without having to think about anything else for a while…

With that said, Endo and Izumi then bowed before Ryugu before leaving together…

Part of the preparation process included getting their respective teams ready, and the two were prepared to select their best men for the job. After all, the Futabas were already on high alert after finding out about Saburo’s assassination attempt. With that in mind, this mission had to be carried out flawlessly…

Moving back to Gerald, after Ryuuka had left, Gerald returned to his room in the Futaba manor before giving Aiden a call to learn about their situation in the past few days. After being updated by Aiden, Gerald told him to pass the phone to Master Ghost for a bit.

After finding out that they were both safe, Gerald couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Still, it wasn’t all that surprising. After all, he was the one people were looking for trouble with, not them.

Regardless, after learning that they were fine, Gerald added that he was going to meet up with them before the special forces competition that was less than a week away. Of course, he wasn’t just doing that to meet up with Aiden and Master Ghost. Since Fujiko was still participating in the competition, Gerald figured that he may as well come along to ensure her safety.

Whatever the case was, upon hearing that, Aiden was naturally delighted.

Following that, Gerald hung up and rested his hands behind his head as he laid in bed… While resting, he couldn’t help but think about the sea map. After all, though he had constantly observed the map whenever he was free in the past few days the island simply never reappeared.

Despite that, Gerald wasn’t all that anxious. After all, he had a gut feeling that he was getting closer to uncovering the secrets of Yearning Island…

What‘s more, whenever he was close to Fujiko, the sea map seemed to emit subtle bursts of heat… Whatever that heat was, it further confirmed that Fujiko’s special pendant was linked not only to Yearning Island, but also the sea map…

At that moment, a few knocks could be heard at the door, followed by a voice calling out, “Are you there, Mr. Crawford? The patriarch has invited you for dinner!”

“I’ll head there in a bit,” replied Gerald as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He would have to think about the sea map later. With that, he got off the bed and slipped on his coat.

Shortly after, Gerald arrived at the dining room. As usual, he was having dinner with Takuya and his daughter, with several of Takuya’s subordinates standing at the ready, occasionally serving them with more food…

Gerald, for one, could clearly see that Takuya hadn’t smiled much ever since that meeting with the other Futabas. Though Takuya had claimed that it didn’t bother him, it was obvious that that was a lie. In the end, he was still the head of the family, and having to watch his family gradually fall apart was definitely a sad thing…

Either way, after a brief silence, Takuya placed both his hands on his knees before saying in a slightly embarrassed tone, “The… special forces competition is going to be held in less than a week, Mr. Crawford… With that in mind, if you head there to support your friend, please keep an eye out on Fujiko as well… I’m just worried that Hanyus will try assassinating her again…”
