Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2074
Realizing that Fujiko appeared to be in a daze, Gerald waved a hand in front of her as he asked, “What’s on your
mind?”
Snapping out of it, Fujiko then took a deep breath before smiling tiredly as she replied, “I’m… just wondering what
to do next… After all, if I just return like this, my father will surely scold me. What more, the Kanagawas are most
probably not going to let me off that easily either… I’m expecting them to look for trouble with us in a day or two…”
“Don’t worry too much about it. If I’m daring enough to get you away from the Kanagawas, you can bet that I’m
capable of taking care of the aftermath for you…” replied Gerald with a smile.

“…Huh?” replied Gerald, startled.
“I said stop the car…” said Fujiko as she pointed at the steering wheel.
Since they were quite far from the Kanagawa manor now which meant that the Kanagawas probably weren’t going
to be able to catch up to them anytime soon, Gerald simply pulled up on the roadside.
Once the car stopped moving, Fujiko bit her lower lip as she turned to look at Gerald before asking, “… Why are you
so keen on helping me…?”
It wasn’t as though she hadn’t been helped by others before, but Gerald had been consistently helping her
whenever it mattered most. Truth be told, she didn’t even dare to imagine what would’ve happened to her if Gerald
hadn’t been there to save her in the past few days…
“Well, let’s just say that helping others is a particularly impactful virtue in Weston. With that in mind, there was no
way I was going to just let you get assassinated when I first met you behind that hotel. As for saving you from Kai,
your father specifically told me to keep you safe, remember?” replied Gerald as he lit a cigarette Staring at him for
a while longer, Fujiko then said, “…Is it really that simple…?”
“Does my reasoning need to be complicated? There really isn’t a reason for you to overthink it,” replied Gerald as
he momentarily glanced at her pendant.
Nodding in response, Fujiko then said, “…Thank you.”
After a brief silence, Gerald then resumed driving… and by the time they arrived at their destination, it was already
daylight…
Instead of heading back to the Futaba manor, Gerald and Fujiko decided to temporarily stay in a hotel near the
Kanagawa manor. From that point on, they were planning on waiting to see how the Kanagawas were going to
react. As for when they’d actually return to the Futaba manor, that would all depend on how things went…

Whatever the case was, Gerald still believed that since Fujiko had the pendant, she was definitely a high ranking
person in the Seadom tribe. With that in mind, as long as he kept her safe, he would definitely be able to uncover
the secrets of their tribe, and eventually, the secrets of Yearning Island…
Regardless, as Gerald and Fujiko rested in the hotel, Kai himself who was no longer under the influence of drugs had
just woken up, a satisfied smile on his face Upon getting to his feet, however, he quickly realized that he hadn’t
been sleeping with Fujiko!
Eyes immediately widening, Kai then began hitting the bodies of his two men while yelling, “What the hell are you
two doing here? Get up already! Also, where the hell is Miss Fujiko?!”
Sitting up groggily, the two men then mumbled, “Five more minutes, brother Kai…”
While the two men would usually be fully awake after Kai gave his orders, instead of getting up, they simply
slumped back onto the bed to resume sleeping!
“… Five more minutes, my foot! Get up already and bring Fujiko to me!”
