    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2056


    “Speaking of which… you said that the person who attacked you was an enemy of your family?” asked


    Gerald, refusing to turn around in case she hadn’t fully dressed herself yet.

    “Indeed… His family has consistently been hostile toward mine. I don’t even know how he managed to


    find out I was staying here, but he did and he immediately attempted to assassinate me…” replied


    Fujiko as she shook her head. Her family was clearly not expecting the attack either since they hadn’t


    warned her in advance…


    Whatever the case was, upon realizing that Gerald was still facing away, she couldn’t help butugh


    before saying, “I’m dressed now, so you can turn around…”


    Hearing that, Gerald gave a sigh of relief as he finally turned to face her again…


    “So… you came here to settle some affairs, you said… Pardon my assumption, but based on what I


    saw earlier, you seemed to be much stronger than that man who tried to kill me. With that in mind,


    could you be representing Weston for thepetition…?” asked Fujiko as she stared at Gerald with


    dreamy eyes.


    Though how they had met was rather cliché—with a heroic man like Gerald saving her, a damsel in


    distress, in the nick of time—Fujiko couldn’t help but adore every second of it. Waving his hand in


    response, Gerald then smiled before replying, “Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. My friend’s the person


    participating, and I only apanied him here.”


    “I see! Regardless, I think I should mention that by helping me, you’ve unfortunately offended the


    Hanyu family… They’re an organization of top assassins here, and I’m afraid they won’t be letting you


    off that easily…” muttered Fujiko, her worry clearly reflected in her eyes. After all, though she knew that


    Gerald was strong, no amount of strength could take on an entire family of world-famous assassins that


    had a history spanning hundreds of years… Hell, not even the Japanese military dared to mess with


    them…


    Upon hearing that, Gerald raised a slight brow as he replied, “…Oh? The Hanyus, you say…”


    “Indeed… Have you heard about them before?” asked Fujiko.


    “Well, they’re quite famous so it shouldn’t really be a surprise if I have,” replied Gerald with a smile as


    he began reaching for a cigarette. However, the moment he considered Fujiko’s presence, Gerald


    immediately refrained from smoking.


    Whatever the case was, after thinking for a while, Fujiko eventually said, “…Well, since you’re in all this


    trouble because of me, why don’t you live with my family for the moment? I’ll exin what happened


    today to my father, and from there, we’ll have a proper discussion to guarantee your safety… Though


    the Futabas may not be as strong as the Hanyus, we’re still quite influential in Japan. With that in mind,


    I have a feeling that the Hanyus won’t attack you all willy-nilly once they realize that you’re under our


    protection…”


    “I don’t mind going with that,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.


    Truth be told, he wasn’t afraid of the Hanyus at all. After all, even if all that family’s elites came after


    him in one go, he was pretty sure that he wouldn’t even suffer a scratch. Still, this was his prime


    opportunity to get to know Fujiko better. Better yet, if her family truly was part of the Seadom tribe—and


    he managed to get close to them—, he would surely obtain a greater chance of inquiring about the


    secrets of Yearning Ind. With all that in mind, there was no way in hell he was ever going to reject


    that idea.


    “Then it’s settled! Go ahead and tell your friend that you’ll be returning with me for the time being. The


    Hanyus usually act fast and I’m worried that they’ll send people over before we even manage to get out


    of this ce,” said Fujiko as she gave a good stretch, revealing quite a bit of her well-endowed figure


    beneath her simple clothes. The sight of it alone was enough to make Gerald look away…


    Seeing that Gerald wasn’t budging from the couch, Fujiko then nudged him on the shoulder before


    adding, “Um… Hello? We’re burning daylight here… The Hanyus could cause trouble for us at any


    moment, you know?”
