Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2103
Still blushing slightly, Fujiko then nodded as she replied, “… R- right, right… You head to bed early too then…”
Though the night had been a dangerous one, she couldn’t help but feel pleased after hearing what Gerald had said.
Regardless, she was then promptly accompanied back to her room’s entrance before she finally parted ways with
Gerald…
Gerald himself removed his coat and poured himself a glass of cold water the second he returned to his room.
Once he was seated on a chair, he began thinking about the two assassins.
Since his trip to Japan had been highly confidential, he doubted that they had been sent by his old enemies.
However, those two were able to address him by name. With that in mind, whoever it was who had sent them, they
had definitely done their homework before setting the assassination plan into motion…
‘But who could it be…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he puffed on his cigarette.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter thinking about it for a while, Gerald managed to come up with a few individuals who lived in Japan who
possibly had old grudges against him. Even so, no matter how much he stretched it, all of them didn’t really seem
to have the balls to confront him. Besides, it’s not like they would even know that he had come to Japan.
With that in mind, the assassins must’ve been sent by individuals whom he had offended in his most recent trip
here… From what he could gather, that included the special forces soldiers from Yanam, the Kanagawas, and the
Hanyus…
Though he included the soldiers from Yanam into the equation, they were the most improbable of the bunch. After
all, none of them had managed to find any evidence that he was the one responsible for Adler’s disappearance.
Besides, he was pretty sure that the Yanam military had already been scared out of their wits by him.
Gerald, for one, believed that Carter who had acted so cowardly before him back then wouldn’t dare to send
assassins after him, unless, of course, that man didn’t wish to be the acting leader of the military anymore…
Regardless, that boiled down the list to the Kanagawas and the Hanyus. Though Gerald’s money was on the
Kanagawas…
Shaking his head, Gerald decided not to think about it for the moment. After all, he believed in Takuya’s
interrogation skills, so all he needed to do now was to wait till morning to finally find out who had sent those two
assassins. With his mind made up, he then took a cold bath before hitting the hay…
When he got up at dawn, Gerald quickly prepared himself for the day before heading out to see how Takuya’s
interrogation had gone. Upon opening the door, however, Gerald was startled to see two Futaba guards standing
guard right outside his room.
“… What exactly is the meaning of this…?” asked Gerald as he scratched his cheek.
“Ah, good morning, Mr. Crawford… Well, since those two men attempted to assassinate you yesterday, the
patriarch ordered us to guard over your room. With that in mind, you don’t have to worry about any sneak
attacks!” replied one of the men.
From how tired they both looked, it was obvious that they had been standing there for the longest time. With that in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmind, Gerald simply waved his hand before saying, “There’s no need to guard over me. Now hurry off and get
some rest.”
Though he didn’t say it, Gerald had a feeling that if he relied on these two to protect him, he could’ve easily been
killed over ten times before they noticed a thing!
Either way, upon hearing that, the other man yawned as he replied, “Unfortunately, we can’t just disobey the
patriarch’s orders!”
Understanding that they could’ve gotten a good night’s rest had it not been for Takuya’s orders, Gerald simply
shook his head while saying, “Look, just go. If the patriarch gets angry about you leaving, just tell him that I was the
one who told you to leave.”
Since Gerald believed that these two wouldn’t be able to protect him anyway, the fact that they were wasting all
their energy here made him feel slightly bad for them.
Regardless, upon hearing that, the duo immediately bowed while declaring, “T-thank you, Mr. Crawford!”
Following that, they swiftly left for their bedrooms…
