Chapter 2040
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2040
After dinner, Gerald returned to his room for a rest while Master Ghost stayed in the living room.
Throughout the entire night, Gerald was still thinking about the situation with the Seadom tribe, and the name âWill Crawfordâ crossed his mind too. Gerald wasnât interested in a child whom his grandfather had adopted, and he didnât even want to be some heir to Crawfordâs family head at all.
However, it was obvious that Will had already taken him as an opponent.
Thinking of this, Gerald couldnât help but shake his head and chuckle.
âBrother Gerald, are you in Japan?â His phone rang, and it turned out to be Aiden who had called him.
âJust arrived today. Youâve sent Ms. Lindsay back?â Gerald took a deep breath. Now that Aiden had returned to Weston, he didnât want to release any of the negative emotions anymore.
âHehe, open your curtains and look down, Brother Gerald!â Aiden chuckled over the phone.
âCurtain?â Gerald frowned a bit and got up from the bed to pull open the curtains of the hotel room. A familiar figure could be seen standing down there, and it was none other than Aiden Baker.
âYou didnât expect this, did you! Weâre meeting again! Wait for me upstairs, Iâll go up immediately!â After this sentence, Aiden hung up the call and entered the hotel as he pulled his luggage behind him.
After a few minutes, someone rang the doorbell. âHave a cigarette, Brother Gerald!â Aiden invited himself into the room and tossed his luggage aside casually as he took out a box of Rickenâs and handed a cigarette to Gerald from the box.
âAfter escorting Ms. Lindsay back to the Lawrence family house, I received an order from the higher authority to participate in a war contest in Japan. Then, I remembered that you were here in Japan as well, so I figured that I would be able to be of help. Therefore, I simply packed up some stuff and boarded the plane without even returning to the hostel.â
Aiden scratched his head bashfully, obviously overjoyed that he had gotten to stay with Gerald.
âThen, how did you know that I was here?â Gerald patted his shoulder with a smile.
âOf course Master Ghost told me about it! I specifically made a call to him asking where you were staying to surprise you!â Aiden continued.
âOkay. Now that youâre here, just stay here with us. Iâll tell you when I need your help, but donât let it affect the order you got from your boss.â Gerald accepted his help.
Japan wasnât like Yanam. There wasnât really any cultivation activity here, and without the need to protect Lindsay, perhaps Aiden, as a member of the special forces, might indeed be of help to him.
âNo rush! The war contest is half a month away, itâs still early!â Aiden grabbed the ashtray and placed it in front of Gerald.
âGo ahead and book a room for some rest. We can talk about other matters tomorrow.â Gerald patted his shoulder. âAlright!â Aiden nodded and left with his luggage.
Meanwhile, Will had not taken a break even after finding out that Gerald had left Gong Island.
He had accumulated his own network of connections ever since he had entered the Crawford family.
The network had gradually expanded all over the world and covered not only Yearning Island. It was just that he didnât usually have to leave Yearning Island, so he could order his underlings to do certain tasks for him when he had other matters to attend to.
