Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2248

Upon hearing that, Gerald momentarily fell silent. While it was true that Amare had told him that his parents and

sister were being treated humanely, he was still worried that things could change at any moment.

However, simply leaving to save them felt irresponsible toward the Futabas. After all, the second the Kanagawas

and Hanyus learned that he had left, they would surely start harassing the Futabas again, and Gerald was pretty

sure that the Fareast Consortium could do little to stop them.

Now that the old man was volunteering to help, however, Gerald couldn’t help but feel more assured.

After all, the most mysterious family in Japan was stepping in! Knowing how strong the Yamashitas were, Gerald

believed that nobody would be able to touch the Futabas if they were really going to help him.

Seeing how silent Gerald had gotten, the old man was prompted to ask, “So… made your decision?”

Looking at the old man for a while, Gerald then replied, “Are… you really willing to help me…?”

“But of course! In the end, you’re still Daryl’s grandson, so helping you is only right. Besides, I’m curious to find out

why that old man underwent such drastic changes since we last met… Honestly, I still find it hard to believe that he

locked your family up!” declared the old man with a smile.

“Well, alright then! I won’t be as worried as long as you’re involved! While I’m sure you’re already going to do this,

please do your best to help the Futabas once I’m gone. I’ll definitely return to help out once I’ve rescued my

parents and sister!” said Gerald in a determined voice as he slapped his thigh.

“Oh, I won’t be involved,” replied the old man as he shook his head.

“Come again?” asked Gerald, rightfully puzzled.

Laughing in response, the old man then took a sip of tea before replying, “Allow me to clarify. In return for getting

the Yamashitas to guard over the Futabas, I only ask that I be allowed to join you on your quest to save your

parents. I believe that my family is more than capable of handling themselves, and you’ll get extra help on your

journey there too. What’s more, though it’s been ages since we’ve last met, I trust that once Daryl meets up with

me, he’ll be compelled to treat your family better. So? What do you say?”

Frowning slightly, Gerald then said, “But… remember, we still need to head to the ancient ruins in Yanam first in

order to locate Yearning Island. What more, I have a feeling that we’ll come across quite a few Crawford cultivators

along the way…”

“Hmm? Worried that I’ll end up burdening you?” asked the old man with a smile.

“Of course not! You’re much more powerful than me…” muttered Gerald as he shook his head.

“Then what’s the issue? Listen, I advise you to head back and prepare yourself as soon as possible. I’ll be getting

my family ready to protect the Futabas as well. If everything goes smoothly, then we should leave by dawn. How’s

that?” asked the old man with a wave of his hand.

“… Fine. Let’s go with that,” replied Gerald in resignation. Though he had agreed with the plan, Gerald was honestly

still worried that the old man would suffer some injuries in the end. After all, though the old man was strong, the

Crawford cultivators weren’t pushovers either.

Whatever the case was, Gerald then left the Yamashita family’s territory before driving straight back to the Futaba

manor.

Gerald, for one, wasn’t worried about Kai’s murder at all. After all, he trusted that the old man would know what to

do with the corpses. While it was true that the Kanagawas would surely fly into a rage once they realized that Kai

was dead, Gerald was sure that this would also deter them from dealing with the Futabas any time soon.

Either way, by the time he finally arrived at the Futaba manor, the sky was already starting to darken. Come to

think of it, Gerald had wasted two entire days just to get rid of Kai.
