Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2112
Though Fujiko’s initial tone had been gleeful, halfway through her sentence, she seemed to realize that she had said
something she shouldn’t have, prompting her to shut up.
While Gerald found that suspicious, he maintained a calm façade as he asked, “What about your family?”
“I… Well, of course my family would know such things. The Futabas are quite powerful, after all,” replied Fujiko
before covering her mouth slightly.
“Makes sense,” said Gerald as he went along with her. Still, after all this time they had spent together, Gerald had a
feeling that Fujiko had accidentally just confirmed that her family was part of the Seadom tribe.
Feeling thankful that Gerald wasn’t pressuring her to continue, after breathing a sigh of relief, Fujiko then added, “…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRegardless, though I know there are ninjas in that family, I’ve never personally met any. After all, the other powerful
families, ours included, don’t really have a reason to contact them. With that in mind, they’ve just been living here,
left mostly secluded from regular citizens.”
After thinking about it for a while, Gerald further slowed the SUV down to ensure that the other two cars would be
able to catch up before looking out the windows while asking, “… Speaking of which, now that we’ve entered their
territory, do you think they’ll come looking for trouble with us?”
“There’s a low chance of that… After all, as far as I know, the Yamashitas don’t really have any conflicts with other
families. With that in mind, as long as we don’t disturb or accidentally threaten them, we should be able to pass
through their territory just fine,” replied Fujiko.
“That’s good to know. Regardless, Endo and Izumi are probably with them. Since we’ve caught those two, once we
take care of those people who’ve been tailing us, we may finally find out whether it’s the Kanagawas or Hanyus
who are behind the assassination attempts,” sneered Gerald with a wry smile.
“Regardless of which family they belong to, we can’t let them off easily after all that they’ve done!” growled Fujiko
who now cared about her family’s safety more than anything else.
Nodding in response, Gerald finally hit the brakes once they got to a flat, barren area…
Following that, he was prompted to ask, “Do you still remember what I told you?”
Confused, Fujiko replied, “… Um… Perhaps be a bit more specific…?”
Lighting a cigarette, Gerald then glanced at the rear view mirror and watched as the cars behind them got closer
and closer… Pushing the car door open, he then stretched before saying, “I promised to protect you and your
family… And I always keep my promises.”
Upon hearing that, Fujiko paused for a moment before asking, “… Why are you doing all this for us…?”
She really couldn’t imagine why Gerald was helping her and her family so much. Even if there was something from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher family that he wanted which she had no idea what it could possibly be, with how strong he was, he could’ve
easily gotten what he desired through brute force.
By this point, Fujiko was pretty sure that he wasn’t doing all this for her either. After all, back when they were still
pretending to be a couple, Gerald had actively made it clear that it was just pretend. He wasn’t interested in her at
all!
As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but smile. After all, to others, she and Gerald were still a couple. Though
they were faking their relationship now, who was to say that it wouldn’t end up turning into a real one? The thought
of it alone greatly improved Fujiko’s mood.
Either way, after Gerald stepped out of the SUV, the other two cars came to a halt not too far off. Even so, nobody
stepped out. Instead, the men opted to update Ryugu about their current situation…
“… What? They’ve entered the Yamashita family’s territory?!” yelled Ryugu as he slammed the steering wheel
before hitting the brakes, causing the car to come to a screeching halt by the roadside…
