    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2122


    Still, to think that the old man was actually a Westoner! While Gerald had no idea what was going on in


    the old man’s mind, he had a feeling that the elder didn’t have any bad intentions toward them…


    With that, Gerald and Fujiko then left through the back and true enough, someone was there waiting for


    them.


    After a quick bow, the man then began walking along the barren mountain, prompting Gerald and


    Fujiko to follow after. Not too longter, the trio came across a car, just as the old man had said.


    Handing Gerald the car keys, the man then respectfully said, “Do take this car, Mr. Crawford. After


    driving forward for a bit, you’ll see the main road again.”


    “Thank you,” replied Gerald without saying anything else. After all, it was already nearing dusk and they


    needed at least four hours to get to thepetition venue. If they were unlucky, Fujiko’s tardiness


    could very well affect her final results…


    With that in mind, upon entering the car, Gerald immediately stepped on the gas…


    After driving for a bit, Fujiko could no longer hold her curiosity back. Looking at Gerald, she was


    prompted to ask, “So… What exactly is your rtionship with the Yamashitas…?”


    Chuckling in response, Gerald who had no idea who the old man from Weston was or why he decided


    to help them simply shook his head as he replied, “Truth be told, this is the first time I’ve met him.”


    “… Come again? You don’t know each other?” muttered the confused Fujiko.


    “Not at all. With that in mind, I’ming back here once thepetition is over, just to get a few things


    sorted out,” replied Gerald as he habitually attempted to get a cigarette. However, remembering


    Fujiko’s advice, he managed to refrain from doing so.


    “… I see… Still, I didn’t think that there’d be a Westoner within the Yamashita family… What more, he’s


    apparently met my father before… Though he sounded like he was quite familiar with dad, I was never


    told anything about this before…” muttered Fujiko as the questions continued piling up.


    “Then let’s find out more about all this together once thepetition is over,” replied Gerald who was


    just as curious as to why the old man had decided to help them.


    …


    Moving back to Ryugu, after ending the call that took approximately ten minutes, he reentered the


    house only to momentarily freeze when he realized that Gerald and Fujiko were no longer there!


    Upon hearing that, the old man took a long sip of tea… And once the cup was empty, he turned to face


    Ryugu before replying, “Hmm? They just left.”


    “They… What…?!” growled Ryugu who’s expression instantly turned ugly. Had it not been for the fact


    that he didn’t wish to offend the Yamashitas, he would’ve already beaten up this old man…!


    “Indeed. Is there a problem with that? After all, they aren’t exactly bound to my family. I can’t stop them


    from leaving,” replied the old man rather nonchntly.


    “… That…” muttered Ryugu as his voice trailed off. After all, the old man’s words made sense. In the


    end, he was the one to me for making that phone call earlier. Because of that, Gerald and Fujiko


    found their chance to flee…


    Now understanding that this was his own doing, Ryugu took a few deep breaths before calmly asking,


    “… Then tell me, how exactly did they leave and where are they headed to?”

    When Ryugu had been making his call in the courtyard, he hadn’t seen anyone walk out the front door.


    The house wasn’t exactlyrge either, so the two of them hiding inside till he left was out of the


    question…
