Chapter 2172
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2172
“… We should discuss this with my father. With how big the issue’s gotten to the point where Kai’s
started hiring international assassins, I’d rather not make the final call on my own…” muttered Fujiko as
she shook her head, prompting Gerald to remain silent…
It was around noon when the four of them arrived at the Futaba manor. Thankfully, Gerald didn’t sense
any hiding individuals nearby anymore.
Either way, upon stepping out of the car, the group was greeted by the sight of Takuya’s secretary who
had been waiting outside for them this entire time. Upon seeing them, the secretary quickly held onto
the things Fujiko was carrying before saying, “Miss Fujiko! Mr. Crawford! Doe in! The master’s
been waiting for you!”
Simply nodding in response, the group then entered the manor… and soon enough, they came across
Takuya who had been waiting for them in the parlor.
Getting to his feet the moment he saw them, Takuya took a brief nce at Aiden and Master Ghost
before turning to look at Gerald and eximing, “You’re back! I’ve already told my servants to prepare
a grand meals so hurry on in! As for the two brothers at the back, just make yourselves at home and
join us!”
Nodding in response, the group of five then entered the dining room and sat around the table. Once
seated, Fujiko was prompted to say, “Um… There’s something I need to tell you, father…”
“Oh? What is it?” asked Takuya as he turned to look at his daughter.
Before Fujiko could say anything else, Gerald quickly interrupted, “It’s nothing major. It can certainly
wait till lunch is over!”
Gerald, for one, knew that if Fujiko told Takuya all this before lunch, Takuya would probably lose his
appetite. Telling him a bitter wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway.
Suddenly seeing things from Gerald’s perspective, Fujiko quickly added, “… Yeah, it can definitely
wait!”

“… I see! Well, then after lunch it is! Speaking of which, I hired a new chef two days ago, and he’s a
Westoner! With that said, do tell me whether the food is to your likingter!” replied Takuya who was
much too d to see Gerald home to be bothered by his daughter’s hesitance.
“Definitely!” dered Gerald with a heartyugh. With that, the group of five chatted happily among
themselves for the next half hour till food began being served.
Seeing that they were going to eat soon, Takuya quickly cleared his throat before saying, “Just to make
things clear, Gerald’s friends are my friends, so you two won’t have many rules restricting you within
the manor. With that said, while I’d love to let you two stay here for a few days and potentially even get
someone to guide you around for a tour, the manor’s not exactly the safest ce for you to stay in
now…”
Takuya, for one, was well aware that he couldn’t afford to bear the responsibility of those two’s injuries
if he allowed them to stay here and something happened to them…
Clearing his own throat, Gerald then replied, “…Well, you see, I was nning on letting them stay here
for the time being. I’ll have to trouble you to prepare two guest rooms for them that are close to where
I’m currently staying…”
“But… You, of all people, should know my family’s current conditions, brother Gerald… If they stay
here, there’s a good chance that they’ll…” muttered Takuya, looking rightfully embarrassed.
“Trust me when I say that it’ll be more dangerous for them if they don’t stay here. Don’t worry, I’ll make
sure they remain safe. Even if something does happen to them, I’ll be the one responsible. None of it
will have anything to do with the Futabas!” dered Gerald with a smile.
“… Since you put it that way… Fine. I’ll agree to it! You there, go arrange for two guest rooms close to
Mr. Crawford’s room!” ordered Takuya after momentarily hesitating as he looked at his secretary.
