    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2098


    “We’re a bit far from where your father’s room is. With that in mind, there’s a high chance that we’ll get


    attacked along the way. Just so you know, these people are stronger than the person who had attacked


    you that night. Besides, if you notify your dad about this, the entire manor will surely end up in chaos.


    After all, the family’s already in pretty poor condition, so if word about this gets out, things will only


    continue getting worse,” exined Gerald in a low voice.


    “… Then… Are you capable of taking care of them alone…?” asked Fujiko.


    “But of course, I am. They don’t seem particrly difficult for me to take out, so I’d very much prefer if


    you focused on defending yourself. Besides, by confronting them, I’ll get to know whether these people


    are Kanagawas or Hanyus,” replied Gerald with a smile as he rolled up his sleeves.


    Following that, he wentpletely silent. Though he looked rtively rxed, the truth was, he was


    vigntly scanning his surroundings the entire time. After all, though he was confident in his strength,


    being careless could always lead to failure. Gerald was also aware that he couldn’t go all out since that


    could potentially expose his true identity as a cultivator to the Futabas, and that was something he


    didn’t want happening since the Futabas were most probably descendants of the Seadom tribe…


    Regardless, upon hearing that, Fujiko took a deep breath before taking a few steps back and saying,


    “… Please, be careful then…”


    Following that, instead of running off to hide, she entered a subtle fighting stance, making it evident that


    she was keen on helping Gerald out…


    Throughout the following ten minutes, the two came across several members of the Futaba family who


    each greeted the duo respectfully. Not wanting to cause any worry, Gerald made sure to keep a calm


    fa?ade on throughout this period.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Either way, just when Fujiko was starting to think that Gerald was being a bit too sensitive about the


    manor’s safety, two figures could suddenly be seen leaping off arge branch andnding not too far


    off!


    Noticing the familiar glint of two daggers illuminated by the moonlight, Gerald immediately stood before


    Fujiko and said, “Keep yourself safe.”


    “Got it,” replied Fujiko as she took a few steps away from the duo, prepared to make a run for it if she


    needed to. She, for one, knew that she wasn’t a match against them, so she would rather do as Gerald


    had said rather than potentially end up as a burden.


    The duo themselves were none other than Endo and Izumi who had arrived at the manor about five


    hours ago to prepare for their assassination. Now that it was ratherte and the patrolling guards were


    in another area, it was high time for them to finally take action!


    Either way, the second Fujiko started moving away, the duo immediately bolted toward Gerald, their


    daggers aimed for his chest! It was clear that they were trying to end things in a single attack!


    Under normal circumstances, if their victim hadn’t been able to notice their presence, they would’ve


    surely died on the spot, unable to even realize what had killed them. Unfortunately, their opponent this


    time was Gerald.


    Gerald, for one, had already sensed where they were hiding before they had even shown themselves.


    Even so, he hadn’t made a move since he wanted to see what they were up to. Were they nning to


    kill someone specific? Or were they here to create chaos? Whatever they were doing, Gerald had


    remained calm so that he wouldn’t scare them off. He had also done so to avoid rming the other


    Futabas who were passing by.


    Whatever the case was, he now knew that they were assassins. What surprised him, however, was the


    fact that he was their target!


    Regardless, he easily dodged their attack and quickly broke a nearby branch to use as a weapon!


    Following that, he dashed toward the two men who were bolting toward him once more!


    Within a split second, the sound of metal nging could be heard…


    Now sandwiched between Endo and Izumi, Gerald had sessfully managed to block their


    simultaneous attacks with his branch! Naturally, this slightly surprised the two men. After all, though the


    duo who were both leaders of separate assassination teams hadn’t cooperated in ages, they had both


    grown and trained under Ryugu…
