Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2126
“It’s my fault..! I’m so sorry, patriarch!” declared Ryugu as he lowered his head.
Shaking his head, Suijin simply replied, “It’s not your fault. We’ve just underestimated Gerald’s capabilities. Still, that
man really has monstrous capabilities… How on earth did the Futabas get to know such a strong individual…? And
who exactly is he? All we know is that he’s a Westoner. However, that doesn’t explain why he’s so willing to help the
Futabas…”
“While we still aren’t clear about his identity, I have a feeling that Gerald’s only doing all this because he has a
special relationship with Futaba… Other than that, I really can’t think of anything else…” replied Ryugu who was
honestly feeling relieved that Suijin wasn’t placing the blame on him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“… That doesn’t seem right. Didn’t Futaba sign a marriage contract with Kai?” replied Suijin with a frown. The
complicated relationships among these people were giving him a headache.
“… Could Kai have found out about Gerald and Fujiko’s relationship? It does explain why he ordered us to
assassinate Gerald…” muttered Ryugu who knew that such incidents happened all the time among the larger
families.
“Then that has nothing to do with us. Moving back to Gerald, aside from the fact that he’s capable enough to kill
dozens of our assassins, have you found anything else that’s wrong with him?” asked Suijin, seemingly only
interested in Gerald.
“… Now that you mention it, there is one thing that comes to mind!” replied Ryugu.
“Good. But before that, get some seats for heaven’s sake! The three of you just standing there are giving me a
headache!” grumbled Suijin as he gestured for his servants to clear his table before pointing at a few chairs that
had been placed near the wall.
Hearing that, Kenshiro immediately nodded as he said, “Thank you, patriarch!”
Following that, he brought three chairs over and only dared to sit once Ryugu and Takeshi had done so…
Regardless, now that they were seated, Ryugu cleared his throat before saying, “… You see, I have a feeling that
Gerald… Well, he and all the Futabas are secretly related to the Yamashitas.”
“… Are you talking about the ones living near the extinct volcano?” replied Suijin who was frowning once more.
“Indeed. You see, after tailing Gerald and Futaba into the Yamashita territory, the old man that I previously
mentioned invited us to his home to have some tea. After Gerald stalled for quite some time, I eventually had to call
Takeshi to update him on the situation. However, by the time I returned, the two had already left! Since they left
using the back door, I have a feeling
That the old man was secretly helping them while I was preoccupied!” grumbled Ryugu as he slammed his fist on

“What on earth is even happening anymore… Why do they even have connections with the Yamashitas? And who
exactly is this old man you keep talking about?” muttered the confused Suijin.
“Well, we don’t know much about him, though he does appear to be a Yamashita in his eighties… Regardless, as far
as I know, he had apparently been watching me and Gerald fight for quite a while. Had he not disarmed me with his
shuriken back then, I could’ve surely ended Gerald right there and them…!” growled Ryugu, angry with himself that
he hadn’t attacked Gerald again immediately after.
Rubbing his forehead, Yamashita couldn’t help but say, “How truly odd… As far as I know, the Yamashitas have
never had any connections with other families…”
“… Speaking of which, there is one thing that he said that I find interesting… Back when we first entered his home,
the old man told Futaba that he had once met her when she was still a child,” replied Ryugu as he recalled that
scene…
