Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2251
“Not long, actually. I estimated you’d be here around this time, so I simply got out a little earlier,” replied the old
man in a cheery tone as he slipped his hands into his sleeves.
“Hmm? Are you proficient with fortune telling as well …?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at Master Ghost.
“Negative. I simply estimated how long it’d take for you to get here if you set off at dawn! Don’t worry, I only waited
here for a little while just so we could get things done a little faster,” replied the old man as he shook his head.
Feeling slightly pleased that the old man was being so eager to leave thus showing just how concerned he was over
Gerald’s affairs, Gerald was then prompted to ask, “So… are we leaving right away?”
Nodding in response, the old man then turned to look a this family members before saying, “Remember my orders
last night. Keep a constant eye on the Futabas and immediately stop anyone who poses a threat to them. If they
don’t get the message, then just get rid of them. If anything else takes place, I’ll deal with it once I return.

“Got it! After leading everyone there, I’ll make sure that each of the Futabas will remain well guarded till you
return!” declared what appeared to be the leader of the group with a nod.
“Well said. Let’s get going then,” said the old man as he turned to look at Gerald again.
Looking at the four seater SUV that was now going to be cramped because of Fujiko’s sudden intrusion, Gerald who
didn’t want the old man to be forced to sit behind with Aiden and Master Ghost was prompted to ask, “Um… By
chance, do you have a bigger car…?”
Upon hearing that, the old man then yelled, “Get the car!”
Nodding in response, one of the old man’s subordinates then bolted off and shortly after, a seven seater MPV came
to a halt before everyone.
“This should suffice, right? I just had a feeling that space would be an issue the night before, so I got this car
prepared. As for how we’re getting to Yanam, my family has a small cargo ship at the dock. With that said, we
shouldn’t have a problem getting to our destination,” said the old man with a smile.
Momentarily stunned, Gerald quickly snapped out of it before placing his hands together and saying, “I… appreciate
the thoughtfulness.”
“It’s really no big deal. I was practically the unofficial head butler of your family back then, you know? With that in
mind, even after all these years, considering such things is second nature to me,” replied the old man with a
chuckle.
Nodding in response, Gerald then opened one of the car’s doors before saying, “After you.”
Laughing joyously, the old man then got in as he called out, “Come now, get in as well, you four!”
Going on a trip with Daryl’s descendant was making the old man reminisce about the good old days, which
explained why he was feeling so cheery. Regardless, once everyone was inside, they immediately began driving
toward the docks.
Once they were gone, the other Yamashitas couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, “I’ve never seen Third
Elder this happy before…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor as long as they knew him, the elder had rarely ever portrayed any other emotions aside from the solemn
expression he was known for. Hell, most of the time, he barely even spoke, simply communicating through
gestures. However, from the day the Westoner first came to their family, the elder had said more than he ever had.
In fact, it probably wasn’t even a stretch to say that the elder had spoken more in these few days compared to the
entirety of last year!
“That has nothing to do with us. Let’s just focus on what Third Elder told us to do,” replied the leader of the group
who didn’t like them talking behind their elder’s back. Hell, they shouldn’t even be talking about all this in the first
place. After all, the Yamashitas had rules that prohibited them from doing so!
“Roger!” declared everyone else upon hearing that.
Nodding in response, the leader then added, “Alright, once you and your subordinates arrive at the manor,
remember to keep your eyes peeled at all times. If anyone tries to look for trouble, take them down the second you
can. Remember, prioritize keeping the Futaba family members safe. If we fail to do that, then none of us will be
able to answer to the Third Elder once he returns!”
With that agreed upon, over ten cars began driving from the Yamashita territory toward the Futaba manor.
