Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2110
Watching as the two assassin groups continued pursuing Gerald and Fujiko on-screen, Ryugu couldn’t
help but wonder why the duo had suddenly chosen to deviate off the highway.
Due to all the research the Hanyus had done while nning their initial assassination of Fujiko, Ryugu
knew for a fact that Fujiko was supposed to be heading to the location where the special forces
competition was going to be held. After all, where else could they be going? With that in mind, why
were they suddenly going off path…?
Sitting at the back, Takeshi realized that he wasn’t the only one who found this odd since shortly after,
one of the subordinates who was on loudspeaker asked, “Could we have made a wrong guess as to
where they were headed to…?”
After a brief pause, Ryugu simplyughed coldly before replying, “I don’t even care anymore! Just
follow them till the end of hell!”
Who cared if they were heading to the special forcespetition, some outing, or even somece to
pay respect to their ancestors? The location wasn’t what mattered. No, what mattered was that Ryugu
killed Gerald while he could!
Ryugu knew that it was going to be much more difficult to pull off the assassination once the duo
returned to the Futaba manor, so this was the prime opportunity to get the job done…! This could very
well be his only chance of rescuing Endo and Izumi as well…!
Whatever the case was, upon hearing Ryugu’s order, Takeshi cleared his throat before yelling, “Didn’t
you hear what the team leader said? Keep your eyes peeled and don’t you dare lose sight of that SUV!
If you fail to do something simple like that, don’t return to the family!”
“U-understood!” replied the subordinates who were still hot on Gerald’s heels…
Moving back to Gerald, once he was about six miles from the dead volcano, he made sure to slow
down a little. After all, he couldn’t kill them if they lost him.
As Gerald drove on, he couldn’t help but ask, “So… What kind of disputes did the Futabas have with
the Hanyus in recent years?”
“I’m… not too sure about that, actually… After all, I’ve mostly spent my time in the military in the past
few years… It certainly didn’t help that during the rare asions I returned home, dad refused to tell
me a single thing regarding our family’s affairs. However, I do remember him saying that our family had
barely contacted the Hanyus ever since he became the patriarch… I, for one, see no reason why he
would lie,” replied Fujiko as she shook her head, realizing just how out of touch she was with her
family’s affairs. It seemed that she had been too focused on surviving and fighting for honor in the
military this entire time…
“I see… Do you think he refrained from saying anything due to some concerns of his?” asked Gerald
who had witnessed other families doing the same things in the past. In the other family’s situation, the
party involved didn’t detail the entire situation to him, which resulted in them facing even more trouble
than necessary…
Regardless, Fujiko then shook her head while saying, “I don’t think so…”
Fujiko, for one, knew her father’s personality well. Takuya simply wasn’t the kind of person who held
grudges against other families. Even if a dispute came up, he would simply tolerate it for the sake of
protecting everyone’s interest…
“I wonder about that…” muttered Gerald to himself.
While Gerald was well aware of the family feud between the Futabas and the Hanyus, he didn’t believe
that the Hanyus would just send assassins over to kill Fujiko without good reason. The problem was,
he couldn’t tell what their motive was. Still, he was sure the Hanyus had their reasons. After all, why
else would they be so persistent in causing trouble for both him and Fujiko?
“… Though you say that, I don’t really see my dad having any reason to be in conflict with the
Hanyus…” replied Fujiko who had heard Gerald’s mutter.

“While that may be true, you haven’t put the rest of the Futabas into consideration. Who knows whether
any of them have any conflicts or exchanges of interests with the Hanyus?” said Gerald with a wry
smile.
Upon hearing that, Fujiko instantly frowned as she asked, “… Could you perhaps be referring to
Grandpa Masura and Suke…?”
Though Fujiko hadn’t been home for the longest, she was still aware enough about things like these.
The fact that Masura had told her father to step down from his post right in front of her that night
certainly made him a prime suspect..
