    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2103


    Still blushing slightly, Fujiko then nodded as she replied, “… R- right, right… You head to bed early too


    then…”


    Though the night had been a dangerous one, she couldn’t help but feel pleased after hearing what


    Gerald had said. Regardless, she was then promptly apanied back to her room’s entrance before


    she finally parted ways with Gerald…


    Gerald himself removed his coat and poured himself a ss of cold water the second he returned to


    his room. Once he was seated on a chair, he began thinking about the two assassins.


    Since his trip to Japan had been highly confidential, he doubted that they had been sent by his old


    enemies. However, those two were able to address him by name. With that in mind, whoever it was


    who had sent them, they had definitely done their homework before setting the assassination n into


    motion…


    ‘But who could it be…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he puffed on his cigarette.


    After thinking about it for a while, Gerald managed toe up with a few individuals who lived in Japan


    who possibly had old grudges against him. Even so, no matter how much he stretched it, all of them


    didn’t really seem to have the balls to confront him. Besides, it’s not like they would even know that he


    hade to Japan.


    With that in mind, the assassins must’ve been sent by individuals whom he had offended in his most


    recent trip here… From what he could gather, that included the special forces soldiers from Yanam, the


    Kanagawas, and the Hanyus…


    Though he included the soldiers from Yanam into the equation, they were the most improbable of the


    bunch. After all, none of them had managed to find any evidence that he was the one responsible for


    Adler’s disappearance. Besides, he was pretty sure that the Yanam military had already been scared


    out of their wits by him.


    Gerald, for one, believed that Carter who had acted so cowardly before him back then wouldn’t dare to


    send assassins after him, unless, of course, that man didn’t wish to be the acting leader of the military


    anymore…


    Regardless, that boiled down the list to the Kanagawas and the Hanyus. Though Gerald’s money was


    on the Kanagawas…


    Shaking his head, Gerald decided not to think about it for the moment. After all, he believed in Takuya’s


    interrogation skills, so all he needed to do now was to wait till morning to finally find out who had sent


    those two assassins. With his mind made up, he then took a cold bath before hitting the hay…


    When he got up at dawn, Gerald quickly prepared himself for the day before heading out to see how


    Takuya’s interrogation had gone. Upon opening the door, however, Gerald was startled to see two


    Futaba guards standing guard right outside his room.


    “… What exactly is the meaning of this…?” asked Gerald as he scratched his cheek.


    “Ah, good morning, Mr. Crawford… Well, since those two men attempted to assassinate you yesterday,


    the patriarch ordered us to guard over your room. With that in mind, you don’t have to worry about any


    sneak attacks!” replied one of the men.


    From how tired they both looked, it was obvious that they had been standing there for the longest time.


    With that in mind, Gerald simply waved his hand before saying, “There’s no need to guard over me.


    Now hurry off and get some rest.”


    Though he didn’t say it, Gerald had a feeling that if he relied on these two to protect him, he could’ve


    easily been killed over ten times before they noticed a thing!


    Either way, upon hearing that, the other man yawned as he replied, “Unfortunately, we can’t just


    disobey the patriarch’s orders!”


    Understanding that they could’ve gotten a good night’s rest had it not been for Takuya’s orders, Gerald


    simply shook his head while saying, “Look, just go. If the patriarch gets angry about you leaving, just


    tell him that I was the one who told you to leave.”

    Since Gerald believed that these two wouldn’t be able to protect him anyway, the fact that they were


    wasting all their energy here made him feel slightly bad for them.


    Regardless, upon hearing that, the duo immediately bowed while dering, “T-thank you, Mr.


    Crawford!”


    Following that, they swiftly left for their bedrooms…
