Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2208
After a brief sigh, Gerald paused for a moment before turning to look at Aiden while asking, “… Actually, hold on.
What are you doing here this early in the first place?”
“Huh? Didn’t you say that we were doing something today? I’m here to ask you about it!” replied Aiden as he
smacked his forehead. To think that those idiots had nearly caused him to forget why he was here!”
“Ah. Well, it’s nothing much. I just wanted you to head someplace with me,” explained Gerald as he got to his feet.
Watching as Gerald then puthis coat on before opening the door, Aiden who quickly got up as well was prompted to
ask, “Where to?”
“The Fareast Consortium. I previously gave them a hand, you see, so their chairman owes me a favor. Since the
Futabas require help now, I may as well use this chance to get that favor done with,” replied Gerald.

Either way, upon seeing Gerald step out, the Futabas from before who were just about to leave immediately
encircled him again, though they made sure to keep their distance.
“Um… Mister- “
“You should be well aware of my relationship with the patriarch. One more word or step forward and I’ll remove
you from the family, no questions asked,” growled Gerald as he glared at them.
Upon hearing that, everyone immediately went silent, knowing full well that Gerald wasn’t kidding. Besides, since
Takuya had obeyed Gerald’s orders throughout that family meeting, it honestly felt like Gerald was the family’s
actual patriarch.
Whatever the case was, all of them could only follow and stare as Gerald and Aiden got into their car before leaving
the manor together. It was at that point when they finally accepted that they weren’t going to get anything out of
this.
Truth be told, they had already anticipated not getting any immediate benefits with Gerald taking the lead. With
that in mind, their sole goal today had been to make a good impression on Gerald. Unfortunately, it seemed that
their actions had the complete opposite effect on him.
Moving back to the duo, Aiden found himself getting increasingly bored as Gerald drove on. Eventually, he started
looking up the Fareast Consortium on the internet and by the time he was done, he couldn’t help but yell in
surprise.
Naturally, this shocked Gerald, prompting him to look at Aiden before asking, “What? What happened?!”
“I-I just didn’t expect the Fareast Consortium to be this powerful…! It’s in the top five groups in Japan…! From what
I’ve managed to gather, the group has a market value of a billion dollars…!” exclaimed Aiden who had initially
thought that they were just a small group. Now that he knew all this, Aiden learned to never underestimate Gerald’s
social connections…!
“I see… and yes, they’re worth quite a bit. Either way, though I haven’t contacted that group in years, the chairman

favor in the first place due to the Futaba family’s crisis…
“How awesome!” exclaimed Aiden as he gave Gerald the thumbs up.
“Don’t go looking too much into this, we’re merely heading over to ask him to lead us a hand. While we’re a t it, we
may as well ask him to treat us to a meal as well,” replied Gerald who cared little about the chairman’s status. After
all, it wasn’t as though the chairman was going to be able to help him save his parents and sister.
Regardless, since the Futaba manor was quite far away from the Fareast Consortium, the duo only got to the city
the group was in at noon.
Being one of the top five consortiums in the country, the Fareast Consortium boasted a whopping forty floors,
making it stand out among the other buildings in the city. In fact, due to its importance, the Japanese government
even set up streets in front of the building to facilitate entry and potentially further develop the group.
Either way, upon seeing the building’s massive signboard, Gerald parked their car in front of the building before
saying, “Well, this is it.”
