Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2059
“No wonder your name sounded so familiar! So you really are the person who had single-handedly taken out those
three major families in Yanam! If I remember correctly, you caused the Yanam military quite a bit of trouble as
well!” exclaimed Fujiko’s father.
Upon hearing that, Fujiko instantly saw Gerald in a new light. Truth be told, she had found his name to be oddly
familiar as well when she first learned of it. To think that this was the very Gerald who had wreaked havoc in Yanam!
Realizing that he had brought something awkward up, Fujiko’s father then cleared his throat before waving his hand
as he added, “…Regardless, there’s no need to explain why you did it. I don’t have any interest in the affairs of
Yanam, and I’m sure you had your reasons for doing that as well. Putting all that aside, the important thing is that
you saved my dearest daughter… Had you not stepped in, she would’ve surely… Well, whatever the case is, from
today onward, you’re a benefactor of my family! If you ever need anything, just say the word and the Futabas will

“I appreciate it,” replied Gerald with a smile, pleased that he had gotten into Fujiko’s father’s good books. That
alone was enough for now, and Gerald knew better than to ask about the Seadom tribe straight off the bat.
“Indeed! Speaking of which, allow me to introduce myself! As you may have already known, I’m Futaba’s father and
also the master of this family. You can call me Futaba Takuya,” said Takuya as he patted his forehead before
extending his arm for a handshake.
“A pleasure to meet you. The name’s Gerald Crawford, and I’m from Weston,” replied Gerald as he shook hands
with Takuya.
After their hands parted, Takuya thought for a while before saying, “Hmm… From past experience, I have a feeling
that the Hanyus should already be investigating you. With that in mind, do stay with us in the meantime as I send
my men out to deal with them for you. Also, if you need anything, just say the word!”
“It’s fine, I can handle myself. Though I am interested in knowing why an assassin family like the Hanyus—that even
accepts employment orders from outside Japan throughout the year—would be involved with your family…” replied
Gerald as he lit a cigarette.
“It’s… a long story, to say the least. Historically, my family has simply always had a grudge against the Hanyus, and
detailing the story is going to take much too long. Regardless, I’ll have a nanny prepare a meal for you first,” said
Takuya as he shook his head with a smile.
“Well, I am slightly hungry…” muttered Gerald as he gently patted his stomach…
It was a short while later when the nanny returned to the main dining room—where the trio had earlier been led to
—with several dishes…
While waiting for their meal to arrive, Takuya had made sure to order his men to investigate how news about
Fujiko’s participation in the military competition had been exposed. He also instructed them to keep an eye out
around the hotel Master Ghost and Aiden were staying in. Though the Hanyus were technically much stronger than
the Futabas, under Takuya’s guidance, the Futabas became considerably harder for the assassin family to deal with.
Takuya’s vigilance, for one, stemmed from the fact that he deeply adored his daughter, and would do anything to

keep her safe. With that in mind, now that she had almost been assassinated, he very badly wanted to rush to the
Hanyus to demand an explanation about all this.
Suppressing the urge to do so, Takuya then handed some chopsticks to Gerald as he asked, “Speaking of which,
what’s your reason for coming to Japan, Mr. Crawford?”
“Well, my friend is a special forces soldier, you see, and I’m keeping him company for the competition. I’m also
here to gather some information,” replied Gerald as he began eating.
“Oh? What information are you interested in obtaining? While my family isn’t all that large, we still have quite a
number of connections in Japan. With that said, do share what you need to know. I may just be able to help,” said
Takuya as he looked at the youth.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll hunt for the information myself,” replied Gerald with a smile, knowing full well that if he
mentioned the Seadom tribe now, the duo would instantly get vigilant, and the last thing he needed was for them to
become his enemies now.
“Well, I’m sure you have your reasons for that, so I won’t pry any further… Still, do remember that you’re my
family’s benefactor, mister. If there’s anything you ever need help with, just say the word. We’ll try to help as best
as we can!”
