Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2041
âWhat? Geraldâs reached Japan?â replied Will with a frown.
âIndeed. I saw him arriving at the dock with two other people! Theyâre currently in a hotel in one of Japanâs coastal cities!â reported the person on the other end of the line.
âOdd⦠Whyâd he suddenly decided to head thereâ¦?â muttered Will as he pondered the situation.
âIf I may, could it be that heâs come to Weston to look for more helpersâ¦?â replied the caller. âItâs a possibility, though the guess could also be wrong. Regardless, keep an eye on him and donât let him find out that heâs being tailed. I want to know every move he makes, so donât you dare lose him or thereâll be consequences!â retorted Will before hanging up.
As he continued sitting in the living room, Will couldnât help but continue wondering why Gerald headed to Japan.
After all, according to the information he obtained through thorough investigations, all of Geraldâs main connections were in Weston. As for any involvements Gerald had with powers outside Weston, the only thing Will could think of was Geraldâs reign of chaos in Yanam. Aside from destroying the three major families there, did Gerald really have any other involvements with powers outside of Weston?
In the end, Will simply couldnât figure out why Gerald had gone there. With that in mind, Will knew that constantly monitoring Gerald was his best shot at gaining a better understanding of the youthâs actions.
If everything went swimmingly, perhaps he would finally be able to kill Geraldâ¦!
At that moment, several knocks could be heard from his door, prompting Will to get up and open itâ¦
And to Willâs surprise, it was Daryl!
Supporting himself with a walking stick, Daryl smiled at Will before asking, âAh, here you are, Will!
Have you heard about what happened on Gong Islandâ¦?â
âI have. Gerald brought the people along and ran off, right?â replied Will.
âIndeed. Still, his strength has gone well beyond my expectations⦠To think that the two groups of people you sent over failed to even lay a scratch on him⦠Regardless, do you have any idea where heâs gone?â asked Daryl as he stroked his beard.
Upon hearing that, Willâs legs quivered slightly as he said, âI⦠Iâm afraid I donâtâ¦â
Will was rightfully nervous since Daryl shouldâve only been aware of the initial four people he had sent over to the island. After all, those were the ones he sent under Darylâs orders to test Geraldâs strength.
By right, Daryl shouldnât have known about the two confidants he had secretly sent over to assassinate Gerald. Despite that, after hearing Darylâs statement, Will knew without a doubt that the old man knew about his actions. Thinking back, had Daryl actually come to violently interrogate or warn him that nightâ¦?
Seeing how nervous Will was, Daryl simply smiled as he patted Willâs shoulder while saying, âThereâs no need to be so ill at easeâ¦â
While he was still stunned, Will eventually snapped out of it before replying, ââ¦I⦠I only did that to test Geraldâs strength⦠To be quite frank, I had no idea that Gerald was that strong⦠Neither of my confidants was even able to pose a challenge to him⦠In fact, one of them ended up having a broken arm! Due to that, his cultivation will surely be influenced negatively from now onâ¦â
Waving his hand to signify that he didnât mind, Will then said, âI see⦠Either way, again, do you have any idea where he is now?â
âI⦠donât⦠From the moment he left Gong Island, Iâve lost all news about himâ¦â replied Will as he shook his head.
Will, for one, had kept his network of information so confidential that he was sure that Daryl had never found out about it throughout the years. With that in mind, there was no way in hell he was going to tell Daryl about it now.
âI see. Well, if thatâs the case, itâs unfortunate, but I guess we wonât be able to tell when heâll returnâ¦â
muttered Daryl in a cold and stern voiceâ¦
