Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2044

Since the map itself looked like scrap paper, had Gerald not witnessed the disappearing islands before this, he wouldn’t have believed that the map was actually more complex than it looked.

At that moment, Master Ghost walked in and asked, “Anything new on the map?”

“Nothing. I don’t even know when Yearning Island will reappear again. It seems that the sea map truly has a lot of unresolved mysteries… Had I known about this back then, I wouldn’t have left the ancient ruins so quickly… That old man could’ve possibly helped with this!” replied Gerald as he shook his head with a sigh.

True enough, had he known about all these mysteries back then, he would’ve surely remained in the ancient ruins till he uncovered all the mysteries of the sea map, no matter how long it took.

“Indeed… Do you think we should return to the ancient ruins?” asked Master Ghost. “Just forget about it… So what if we manage to uncover the sea map’s secrets? All we’d be able to do is locate Yearning Island a little easier. In the end, we’d still have to look for the Seadom tribe to even get there,” replied Gerald as he shook his head.

Hearing how dispirited Gerlad was, Master Ghost then patted him on the shoulder before saying, “Don’t get too anxious. Just so you know, we’re progressing quite speedily. After all, not only do we have the sea map now, but we also know about the island where the Crawfords are staying on. Once we find the Seadom tribe, we’ll definitely be able to rescue your parents…”

Hearing that, Gerald then took in a deep breath before smiling as he said, “…I know…”

Shortly after, Aiden returned with some food prepared by the Japanese military. Completely different from the common dishes in Weston, lunch appeared to be extremely traditional Bibimbap and Kimbap, served together with a large bowl of Miso soup…

Regardless, the trio then surrounded the dining table to have their lunch.

Halfway through, however, they were suddenly greeted by the sound of rapid knocking, followed by someone yelling, “Is Aiden in there? Aiden Baker from Weston!”

Sipping on his soup, Gerald then said, “Looks like someone’s looking for you.”

“Who is it?” asked Aiden as he lowered his bowl and chopsticks before heading toward the door…

Upon opening it, he was greeted by the sight of a few Asian special forces, all of them wearing combat uniforms… After sizing Aiden up, one of the men angrily growled, “Are you Aiden? I go by Adler Lightbody, and I’m a special force member from the Yanam military. From what I’ve heard, you came to my military’s headquarters one and created a giant mess there with your friend, no?”

Not wanting to bother with him, Aiden simply said, “You’re mistaking me for someone else.”

Before Aiden could even close the door, Adler grabbed onto it, getting a good look at Gerald and Master Ghost.

“Who are those two? Is one of them Gerald?” asked Adler.

‘With all due respect, we aren’t in Yanam, good sir. If there’s anything you wish to clarify, then go look for Carter! He’s your current acting leader, no? Now stop trying to mess with us!” retorted Aiden as he frowned. After all, not only was Adler challenging him, but he was also challenging Weston.

By this point, the racket had attracted the attention of several other special forces from overseas. From the looks of it, they seemed to be enjoying the scene, with many even advocating Aiden to challenge Adler to a duel…
