Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2102
After hearing Gerald’s reply, Takuya was momentarily at a loss for words. After all, he hadn’t
considered the fact that Gerald was the real target here. As he pondered about it, Takuya couldn’t help
but mutter, “They came for you, you said… “
“It’s only a guess, to be quite honest,” replied Gerald as he shook his head. After all, since he rarely
ever came to Japan, he had almost no disputes with the forces and families here. He was only
assuming that the duo were after him since he was their first target upon making themselves known.
“… Well, even if they were after your head, there’s no need to worry any longer since those two
scoundrels are already locked up. Rest assured, I’ll definitely obtain more information from them by
dawn! Also, in case you’re worried about affecting my family since you’re being targeted, don’t be. The
Futabas owe you and we’ll always be by your side! While it’s true that my family isn’t as great as it used
to be, know that nobody can freely take advantage of people I swear to protect!” dered Takuya as he
clenched his fists.
Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but smile as he cupped his hands together to pay Takuya respect
before saying, “I really appreciate that, patriarch… As for the interrogation tonight, I’ll be thanking you
in advance!”
It was around then that Gerald realized that after helping the Futabas so much, he hadpletely
earned that family’s trust. With that in mind, he felt that once the special forcespetition began or
possibly when it ended, depending on how things went it was high time he asked about Yearning
Ind. Hopefully, Takuya would no longer see any reason to hide anything from him…
Whatever the case was, after finishing his cup of tea, Takuya got to his feet before saying, “Alright,
then… You and Fujiko should go get some rest first. I’ll be heading over to pay our two ‘guests’ a visit…

With that, Takuya left the room, leaving Gerald who promptly put his cigarette out and Fujiko inside…
Though Gerald stayed there for the following half hour to enjoy his tea, Fujiko, on the other hand,
remained in the room to stare admiringly at Gerald, her hands cupping her cheeks the entire time…
Due to her ever growing feelings for Gerald, Fujiko couldn’t help but say, “… I could sense how strong
those two were… To think you’d be able to take them out so easily…”
“Strength is all I have. I don’t really have any other capabilities. Besides, I’m not that strong,” replied
Gerald with a smile.
Honestly, he hadn’t expected to expose that much of his strength earlier since Fujiko was there.
However, had he not done so, he wouldn’t have been able to take those two men out in such a short
amount of time. That, to Gerald, would’ve been more worrying since trouble could’ve easily brewed in
the manor had he not taken them out quickly. After all, who’s to say that there weren’t any other
Kanagawas or Hanyu assassins waiting for a chance to strike the manor while Gerald was preupied
with Endo and Izumi? If that had been the case, then things would’ve be exceedingly difficult for
Gerald to resolve. All this exined why he used so much of his strength in the first ce…
Regardless, upon hearing that, Fujiko couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as she asked, “… Really
now?”
“Do I have a reason to lie? Besides, if you’re thinking l could secretly be rich, a good look at my attire is
enough to debunk that!” replied Gerald as he got to his feet and slowly twirled around, just to prove his
point.
Fujiko, for one, knew her famous brands since she was a rich youngdy from a prestigious family, so
she had to agree with that.
“… While it’s true that you certainly don’t look like one, you can definitely live a much better life with
how strong you are… Honestly, if you apply to be a personal bodyguard, you could earn over a
million dors per year…” muttered Fujiko as she brushed some dust off his clothes.
“Life as a personal bodyguard is way too restrictive for me. It’s also a tad too dangerous for my taste.
Honestly, the way I’m living now is good enough,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“… I-I know, right…?” muttered Fujiko as she blushed slightly, thinking that Gerald was hinting that he
enjoyed spending his time with her.
Realizing that, Gerald who didn’t want to speak any further for fear that it would create more
misunderstandings then cleared his throat before saying, “… Anyway, it’s getting quitete, so you
should go get some rest. Hopefully, your father will have obtained some valuable information from
those two men by morning…”
