Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2062
As Gerald and Takuya continued drinking their tea, the Hanyus were already hard at work back at their
headquarters. After all, despite investigating throughout the night, none of them were able to find any relevant
clues.
Regardless, two men could be seen standing in the Hanyu headquarters’ hall, their heads lowered. One of them
went by Hanyu Saburo, and he was the one who had attacked Fujiko the other night. As for the other man, he was a
core disciple of the Hanyu family—who had been sent out to investigate the night before—called Hanyu Ryugu…
Seated on the main seat before them was Hanyu Suijin, the head of the Hanyu family. Though he had yet to hear
what they had to report, he could already guess what their findings would be since he hadn’t received any news

“Well… I headed there immediately after Saburo notified me about all this. Unfortunately, though we searched the
entire hotel and also the area around it, we weren’t able to find any traces of them at all… I’m assuming they must
have left by now…” replied Ryugu as he fought the urge to tremble in fear.
“Rubbish!” roared Suijin as he slammed his fist onto the table. ‘WW-with all due respect, master, that person from
Weston is extremely powerful! Just so you know, he sent me flying with barely any effort! Regardless, while
investigating, we found that two individuals from Weston had checked into the hotel… Unfortunately, neither of
them seems to be the one who had beat me up,” muttered Saburo.
“Seem? Didn’t you get a good look at his face?” replied Suijin.
“Unfortunately, it was a little too dark when he showed himself… I do, however, remember what he sounds like.
With that said, I’d definitely recognize him by voice!” declared Saburo as he shook his head.
“Like that’s going to change anything! Whatever the case is, we’ve already spent three long years planning for
this…! As long as we get our hands on Fujiko, we’ll surely be able to get the Futabas to become affiliated with us!
Still, to think that we’d fail when we were so close to succeeding! Not only have we lost our best opportunity to
strike, but our operation will definitely face even more issues now since the Futabas will undoubtedly be on guard!
Hell, they may even try looking for trouble with us because of all this!” growled Suijin, getting increasingly angry the
more he spoke. By the end of it, the tip of his armrest—that he had been grabbing onto this entire time—ended up
crumbling to pieces due to how hard his grip had become…!
Hearing that, Saburo and Ryugu went silent. While it was true that their mission had only failed because of Gerald’s
intervention, a failure was a failure. With that in mind, both of them knew that in the end, they would still be held
responsible for all this.
Understanding that, Ryugu—who didn’t want Saburo to drag him into this—thought for a while before saying, “…
Umm… Maybe it would help if we issued an order all over Japan to locate this person…? I, for one, feel that there’s

well…”
“I already did that before you two returned! Who do you think I am? Regardless, just… go get some rest first… I’ll
tell you when we need to make a move again. Also, remember to keep an eye on the Futabas whenever possible.
Our best bet now would be to send some of our men over to find out who that Westoner truly is to the Futabas!”
grumbled Suijin as he waved a hand wearily.
Nodding in response, the duo then turned to leave…
Fast forward to two days later, Gerald was still staying with the Futabas. Though Takuya had made it a point to
update Gerald on the latest news he received on a daily basis, Gerald wasn’t really interested in all that. After all, he
was more concerned about how he was going to bring up the topic of the Seadom tribe with them.
Regardless, while eating together with the Takuyas that afternoon, Gerald couldn’t help but look at Fujiko’s pendant
again…
