    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2074


    Realizing that Fujiko appeared to be in a daze, Gerald waved a hand in front of her as he asked,


    “What’s on your mind?”


    Snapping out of it, Fujiko then took a deep breath before smiling tiredly as she replied, “I’m… just


    wondering what to do next… After all, if I just return like this, my father will surely scold me. What more,


    the Kanagawas are most probably not going to let me off that easily either… I’m expecting them to look


    for trouble with us in a day or two…”


    “Don’t worry too much about it. If I’m daring enough to get you away from the Kanagawas, you can bet


    that I’m capable of taking care of the aftermath for you…” replied Gerald with a smile.


    After staring at Gerald for a while, Fujiko suddenly said, “…Stop the car.”


    “…Huh?” replied Gerald, startled.


    “I said stop the car…” said Fujiko as she pointed at the steering wheel.


    Since they were quite far from the Kanagawa manor now which meant that the Kanagawas probably


    weren’t going to be able to catch up to them anytime soon, Gerald simply pulled up on the roadside.


    Once the car stopped moving, Fujiko bit her lower lip as she turned to look at Gerald before asking, “…


    Why are you so keen on helping me…?”


    It wasn’t as though she hadn’t been helped by others before, but Gerald had been consistently helping


    her whenever it mattered most. Truth be told, she didn’t even dare to imagine what would’ve happened


    to her if Gerald hadn’t been there to save her in the past few days…


    “Well, let’s just say that helping others is a particrly impactful virtue in Weston. With that in mind,


    there was no way I was going to just let you get assassinated when I first met you behind that hotel. As


    for saving you from Kai, your father specifically told me to keep you safe, remember?” replied Gerald


    as he lit a cigarette Staring at him for a while longer, Fujiko then said, “…Is it really that simple…?”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Does my reasoning need to beplicated? There really isn’t a reason for you to overthink it,” replied


    Gerald as he momentarily nced at her pendant.


    Nodding in response, Fujiko then said, “…Thank you.”


    After a brief silence, Gerald then resumed driving… and by the time they arrived at their destination, it


    was already daylight…


    Instead of heading back to the Futaba manor, Gerald and Fujiko decided to temporarily stay in a hotel


    near the Kanagawa manor. From that point on, they were nning on waiting to see how the


    Kanagawas were going to react. As for when they’d actually return to the Futaba manor, that would all


    depend on how things went…


    Whatever the case was, Gerald still believed that since Fujiko had the pendant, she was definitely a


    high ranking person in the Seadom tribe. With that in mind, as long as he kept her safe, he would


    definitely be able to uncover the secrets of their tribe, and eventually, the secrets of Yearning Ind…


    Regardless, as Gerald and Fujiko rested in the hotel, Kai himself who was no longer under the


    influence of drugs had just woken up, a satisfied smile on his face Upon getting to his feet, however, he


    quickly realized that he hadn’t been sleeping with Fujiko!


    Eyes immediately widening, Kai then began hitting the bodies of his two men while yelling, “What the


    hell are you two doing here? Get up already! Also, where the hell is Miss Fujiko?!”


    Sitting up groggily, the two men then mumbled, “Five more minutes, brother Kai…”


    While the two men would usually be fully awake after Kai gave his orders, instead of getting up, they


    simply slumped back onto the bed to resume sleeping!


    “… Five more minutes, my foot! Get up already and bring Fujiko to me!”
