    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2048


    Scratching the back of his head, the person in charge then sighed as he said, “How strange… It


    doesn’t really help that he disappeared right after he had some conflict with you yesterday… If this


    incident can’t be resolved, what do I even say to the Japanese military!” When he first heard about


    Adler picking a fight with Aiden, he figured that it would just end in a fistfight. After all, incidents like that


    weren’t umon duringpetitions involving special forces. Unfortunately, now that someone had


    gone missing, death wasn’tpletely off the table. With that in mind, the entire situation had be


    more troublesome than it should have been.


    As the person in charge, he knew that he had to be held responsible no matter the oue. Honestly,


    resigning from his position was a light punishmentpared to having to bear the consequences if the


    case turned out to be a serious one…


    “That’s for you to investigate. I hope you understand that that doesn’t concern us in the least,” replied


    Aiden as he waved his hand. As Gerald had said, he had gotten rid of Adlerst night, so all Aiden


    could do was act dumb so that Gerald wouldn’t get into trouble…


    “Well… Alright, then. You can continue resting now. However, if you do find anything, remember to


    report back to me as soon as possible,” said the person in charge, knowing that he wasn’t going to get


    any more information from Aiden.


    It certainly didn’t help that this newly established ce didn’t have any surveince cameras. With that,


    all he could do was investigate the incident step by step. Honestly, he didn’t really need to immediately


    report the case to the headquarters.


    After all, if Adler truly had been murdered, there would definitely be traces of the crime. With that in


    mind, the person in charge figured that reporting to the headquarters—and Yanam—about the case


    after he caught the murderer would definitely take care of the situation…


    He couldn’t just me Aiden right off the bat either since he didn’t have any evidence. Japan, for one,


    couldn’t afford to offend Weston without solid proof, and the person in charge was well aware of that.


    Whatever the case was, Aiden then nodded before replying, “Will do.” With that said, he then returned


    into the house, closing the door behind him. Now that he was inside again, he made sure to close all


    the curtains and windows as well.


    Walking up to Gerald, he then asked, “Brother Gerald… Did you really get rid of Adler..?”


    Before Gerald re-entered the housest night, Aiden distinctly remembered hearing faint shuffling


    outside. Though he was pretty sure that this wasn’t Gerald’s first rodeo at disposing of a body, Aiden


    couldn’t help but feel worried. After all, he was participating in the special forcespetition. If


    evidence about the murder was found, it would surely trouble him and Weston—as a whole—greatly…


    “Of course,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “You… didn’t leave any traces behind, right…?” muttered Aiden.


    “Are you doubting my capabilities?” replied Gerald as he lit a cigarette.


    “No, of course not… I’m just worried that they’ll find proof that we did it. After all, we’re in foreign


    territory now. If they somehow manage to find out that we’re the culprits, then the entire Weston will


    surely be in hot water…” said Aiden as he shook his head. If he alone was to bear the burden, Aiden


    wouldn’t have been this worried. However, now that the entirety of Weston was involved…


    Understanding Aiden’s worries, Gerald then patted his shoulder before replying, “Don’t worry, I’ve


    made sure to be extra careful while I was doing the deed. You won’t end up in trouble.”


    Hearing that, Aiden then slowly nodded as he said, “…Well, if you’re that certain, I feel rest assured…!”


    Moving back to the person in charge, he had decided to stick with his n to not report the incident to


    the Japanese headquarters till he found the murderer. To his disappointment, however, even after


    scouring the training grounds, they weren’t able to find a single clue as to where Adler had disappeared


    to.


    Currently, the person in charge was sitting in his office, and before him, stood a team of special forces


    —that belonged to the headquarters—who were specifically here to maintain order…
